#: out due to financial reasons
1: Kris
#: out due to computer failure etc
#: out due to illness,
2: Tawnya
3: Randah
4: mom2kbeth Bonnie

ok, I have everyone now that is sending in! I think $3.85 should cover shipping, it might go less for first class but I don't haev enough boxes, and Kris's goodie needs a box for protection. My paypal is mama selena @ charter dot net I will get teh boxes ready today and ship out tomorrow! Sorry this took so long, just had a couple people need to tie up loose ends and drop out at the end...

Everyone needs to send 6 things, on or before August 12th. PM me for the address to mail to (mine) judging from the lovely set Kris made, this is gonna be one heck of a teeny things swap! I can't wait to see what others make!!!


Edited to say that we had someone drop out, so we are back to only sending 5 items/sets! :):)


-----------------

it isnt fair... all the swaps are BIG for LOTS OF THINGS for LOTS OF PEOPLE ;)

what happened to the little ol swap with 5 people? I can't do 10-12 people swaps, lol...

anyone interested? Anyone besides me wanna host it?

Any ideas on themes? How about an accessory swap? I started making these great little books when I was putting together a witchy set for someone...

k, that's three, only 3 more left (I figure we can do 6 people so we only have to make 5 things)

Details are as follows:
we are doing a bendy/dollhouse accessory swap! Either something to hold the accessories or some sort of accessories.

Ideas? magic stuff like wands for magical bendies, teeny table and chair, other simple furniture (no, I am not expecting full sets here but maybe a table or something, trying to keep this small and low key), miniature books, fimo veggies? wool felt(ed) things, little trees, fairy dollhouse rugs? Um, cost per item isn't much but make it special!, you only have to make for 5 people. I will probably be sending sets of books and/or herb jars like the ones shown above :) or sets of mini dishes.

ONLY 5 people, no acceptions, lol, I know my limits ;) I will go ahead and organize this, and get it shipped out asap. Send your goodies well packed so they don't get damaged and include return priority shipping in your envelope or you can paypal me the amount due when it's time to ship.

1: Selena
2: Kris
3: Peppermint
4: lupineperriwink Heather
5: Tawnya
6: Randah
7: mom2kbeth Bonnie

When should we have it due? there are a lot of swaps going on so I don't want to overwhelm anyone. I really want this one to be fun and simple! :)

oh, and thank you, Kris, I am so glad you liked it! I was in love with it, I need to go to Michael's and get a new cabinet and make Daniel his set ;) I suppose I need to buy some more non pastel papers to use, too, eh? ;) Maybe I can find a cheap pack of mulberry paper in non pastel colors...

ok! everyone who posted is in now! you only need to send 5 things, because you don't need to send one for yourself :)

I am thinking mid August would be good? we have end of July and end of august swaps but nothing mid august. So ship by the 12th of August, that gives everyone roughly a month to make 5 things :) heck, if you do it faster, you can ship earlier and we can all get our goodies sooner ;)

you can all ship to me, I will send my shipping info to everyone when you are ready, just PM or email me :)

you can post here what you are sending so there are no duplicates or just let it be a surprise. It's all up to you :) have fun and ship by Aug 12th!

I am going to have to drop out. I just dealt with an extended illness and death in my family and am pretty far behind right now in everything as I was out of state. Sorry!

Mamaselena
08-13-2005, 12:01 AM
no worries, honey, we all know that family comes first. ((hugs))

today is the mailing date! (or tomorrow since I am late with a reminder ;) Or monday if your PO is closed tomorrow, lol... I am flexible ;) )

Thanks Selena. I felt like such an idiot. I did send your diaper covers yesterday though and forgot to tell you.

Thanks Selena. I felt like such an idiot. I did send your diaper covers yesterday though and forgot to tell you.

don't feel like an idiot, ok?? FAMILY ALWAYS COMES FIRST... these are JUST TOYS ;) ((hugs :heart::hug:

(ok, maybe as a toy makin' wahm I shouldn't be saying things like "just toys" rofl, but seriously... nothing is more important than your family, ok???!!take care of you right now, and go join the stocking stuff swap ;) it isn't due til October 31-and you can do 5 or 10 or 15 like the sewing swap...)

mom2kbeth
08-14-2005, 07:50 PM
I'll be shipping tomorrow -- I forgot to do it before we left for our trip!!

Mamaselena
08-16-2005, 09:05 PM
would you guys mind if I dropped out? I can still send your stuff from everyone else, obviously, but I need to not send my part out...I just found out today they are closing my DH's plant so he will be unemployed in 4 months and I really need to concentrate on only selling, not swapping. I can return all of the items you had intended for me, so you will get one of yours back in addition to everything sent.
ugh...what a day.

mom2kbeth
08-16-2005, 10:47 PM
Sounds like you had one crappy day, mama!! I'm sorry to hear about your dh's job -- and so close to the new baby's birth!! Take care of yourself and your family! I don't mind your dropping out; you have to do what's best for your family.

I shipped my package yesterday. I was inspired by Kris' picnic set up, so I made a little place for the fairies/bendies to have a picnic -- by the lake :) I dyed some little playsilks blue for the lake and made 2 small roving ducks for each lake as well.

Mamaselena
08-28-2005, 11:25 AM
ok, I have everyone now that is sending in! I think $3.85 should cover shipping, it might go less for first class but I don't haev enough boxes, and Kris's goodie needs a box for protection. My paypal is mama selena @ charter dot net I will get teh boxes ready today and ship out tomorrow! Sorry this took so long, just had a couple people need to tie up loose ends and drop out at the end...
thanks ladies!!!

Bonnie, thanks for your thoughts... it's really scarey, but I am just trusting that everything will be ok... if I think about it too much I just start freaking out... so I am letting the universe handle this one, lol... The blue in the silks you sent is SOO vibrant!! WOW!

Because we had so many drop out, everyone is going to get some of their stuff back in their box. Hopefully you can find a use for it or maybe swap it on the board ;)

Mamaselena
