needle felted/knitted/crocheted fantasy animals
toadstools
gnomes
play mat
felted trees
hmm..... Bonnie where are you with your awesome ideas????:smirk:

I'd like to keep it small so we can all concentrate on doing some great fun stuff without feeling completely overwhelmed by it:lol:
How does 5 or 6 mamas sound?

1. huntersmama
2. korwynne
3. luppinperriwink
4. starkl
5. mom2kbeth**traded shipping**
6. elfmama
7. gronilot**woodland**

I'm claiming toadstools for now. I've been wanting to needlefelt some so this is perfect.

Bonnie's at nature class and gone for most of Fridays. Trust me, she'll sign up for this!

I would like to join in please! :happy: I'll tentatively say playmats and accessories like I did for the mermaid swap, but if I have inspiration then I'll change that.

yippee Starkl, I was hoping you'd wanna do mats for it.
those mermaid mats are amazing...My girl is gonna go thru the roof when she sees these sets :monkeydan

Thanks :)

I'm planning on sending a wishing pond and a brown playsilk for the forest floor :)

I had a really cool idea for the toadstools so hopefully I can pull it off.

I'm going to do trees for sure, and maybe either a cave or a house. I actually have a really awesome idea for the houses if i do say so myself:smirk:

this is going to be soooo cool!

I made an awesome treehouse for Kenna this summer. I am going to try to shoot for making those, but I am not sure ... hers ended up breaking when it fell off the table, so I'm iffy on the shipping for them. Plus I have to be able to find a HUGE amount of bark to make enough. If I can find enough bark on the ground in the backyard tomorrow I will shoot for those and figure out how to ship without having them break. If not, I have no idea what I'll make, lol! Maybe the gnomes.

if it helps I am freakish about things breaking when shipped so i will pad, pack, protect...:lol:

i really want a tree house:smirk:

When's the mail date on this one? I'm trying to get my calendar updated. :happy:

how does dec 3rd sound to everyone?

I just want to be sure to give us plenty of time to get them for the holidays

Thanks :)

That's a great site, thanks for the link!

So then this would end the same day as the fairy and winter nature table one?

yeah it would, I figured if the fairy and woodland swaps ended on the same day it woudl help some of you in shipping. Since i think 3 of you are in both:lol:

but we could bump it a wee bit if it helps

let me know what works for you mamas.
i dont; want to bump it too far though, becasue i want to be sure i have it in the mail back to you all by say the 16th at the latest.

The winter one is due the day before (12/2), so that gives us an extra day for these two, lol! I don't mind having them both due on the same day since I will be shippign together anyway, and having the other winter one the day before is fine. I will just have to be crafting the whole weekend before ;)

No, that's cool for me, I just wanted to make sure that I had all my days straight. It will help on shipping, that's a major bonus!

Call me crazy if you want but why isn't Gronilot in this swap too? She's in the other fantasy swap :happy: No interest? Just nosey but I didn't want to do 6 for one swap and 7 for the other - I like things even and her poor nature table will be lopsided now!

:lol:
i'll go ask her:smirk:

nak

I wanted, but I think it was closed by the time I saw it.

I would love it if it was ok with everyone.. and not be offended at all if it doesnt work out.

you're in baby :monkeydan
to funny its all the same mamas as the fairy swap

shipping is gonna be a breeze for everyone..:lol

Yea, and my two things I want to work as a set I think and you would have been upset with only one part and salivating for the other. Now that staement is gonna force me to keep up my end of the bargain :lol:

LOL! I think you should def be in!

so how is everyone doing? Our deadline is approching, does everyone know what they are making?

I'm pretty sure I'm doing trees :happy: and maybe an inhabitant too:smirk:

I'm trying to make a mushroom house but we shall see

Oh I cant; wait to see

I've collected bark, but not nearly enough I dont think to make enough little tree houses. I will start with the tree houses and if I run out then I will make something else similar for the rest.

I cant; wait to see everything

and BOnnie i KNow whatever you make we will all love it :)

:)

I'm making mushroom folk. :monkeydan

whooo hooo!

Just bumping to remind everyone we need to mail this weekend, so i can have them by next weekend and get it all bakc out to everyone in tiem for the holidays :happy:

:monkeydan

I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited!!

Mine went out this morning. Of course, as I was packaging it up, Holden accidentally stepped in the box and smashed one tree to smithereens :eyes: So I am only sending 6 and I will make another for Kenna this week and just put it in her box when everything arrives here. So Kris, don't send one back to me :) Well, if someone drops out, send one back, lol!

did everyone send? does anyone need my address???

i am really hoping to mail these all back to everyone saturday...cross your fingers they are all there.

OH i did trees and they look pretty cool:lol:

I totally flaked on shipping:lol:

i have no idea how big a box we weill need but since i am sending 2 swaps at once plus ZOe-Annes mermaid swap stuff i bet i'll need a flat rate box.
so shipping for both woodland and fairy swaps is $8 and if its less i will refund
my funded PP is baabaasheeshee @ sympatico. ca (no spaces)

i know i am trading shipping with a coupel of you who are hosting swaps i'm is so i will update teh OP with that info
