now that my stuff is sent - i am itching to do more! what would be good january ideas........new year (like felted funky hats, baby new year bendies, ribbon streamers, noise makers), peaceful winter (hibernating animals, caves/burrows, bare trees, berries on shrubs)

is there any interest?

Sounds good to me :) we could do a Valentine's Day/Winter/New Year swap with an early January mailing deadline.

You want to host it? I can if you don't want to, just let me know.

:muaha: My husband thinks I'm nuts. I think the winter animals would be awesome. Then, we could have a Valentine's swap too. And St Patrick's and Easter....

What about a snow and winter animals (like peaceful winter that Mcmrymoon suggested) one for early January, then mid January would be Valentine's Day? I want to make fimo penguins and maybe seals for the first one; I thought of them last night :)

Just so the idea doesn't get lost in the holiday shuffle, I'll go start sign ups now :)

We can do a New Year's one, but the mailign date owul dhave to be soon ... I am up for it because i'm all done with the others and I finished up all my orders :) Yippee!! I'll start a thread about that too tosee fi there is enough interest :monkeydan

yeah! i have visions of a winter snow capped scene with little spots to tuck little sleeping animals..............

oh i agree - we need a separate valentine's day one!

can we make it small too? i want to try to make needle felted trees with a tiny opening to hide in....or something along that line....and i think i could only make a few! (if any at all! LOL)

I just started sign ups for New Year's, Valentine's Day and Peaceful Winter. The snowy scene you describe sounds perfect!!

I kept the New Year small, limit of 5 because it's a quickie :)

The other 2 I put at 7 so we have to make 6 items ... is this too big? We can always make them smaller.

What about a "Tropical Vacation" one in the dead of winter-

Maybe a coconut house for bendies in bikini's- or a grass hut made from raffia

That's a neat idea! Maybe we could do something like that next, having it due in February.

I would also love to do a Chinese/Chinese New Year themed swap ... origami, dragons, lanterns, bendies dressed in traditional Chinese garb, mini fortune cookies, etc...

I know there are 2 people (you're one) that posted to the thread to say that they wanted to be included ... I bet if you start another thread that there will be enough interest :)

Whew..I dunno..hosting a swap will be hard for me right now. I have new products coming out soon...and way to much going on. Oh well..I tried to bribe with chocolate...LOL!

Maybe next swap we should have 2 groups of 5 or something like that. I always seem to miss so many of them..LIke Fairy Fantasy, Mermaid etc...Then I get all bummed..and then I eat all the chocolate;)
