Title of Swap: The UNthemed Themed Swap
Swap Hostess: Tuesday
Sign-up date range: Through Dec. 10
Ship by Date: Jan. 2, 2007

Limited to a certain number of people? (optional): No, but larger sign ups will be divided into even, smaller groups @ 5-7 participants

Swap Organizer will check each participant to make sure they meet these conditions:
- Has posted at least 100 times
- Does not have any negative feedback on the sewing swap forum

Details of swap:

The theme of this swap is UNthemed. That's right...there is no theme. This swap gives you creative freedom to send whatever your heart desires...no limits (just keep in mind we all have kids in the house ;) LOL)

In this swap you will make multiples of one item, send them to me, the hostess for division and packaging of groups.

This swap is limited to HAND MADE items.

This swap is NOT LIMITED to sewn items...can be crochet, knit, crafts, cards, etc.

There are various swaps all over the boards for the holiday season, lets keep this secular (especially since the due date is after Christmas ;)..)

Also, some of us live in different countries, so let's avoid nationalistic items too. ROFL

Other than that...let's have a BLAST!!! Show your creative side. This is a GREAT swap for beginners that want to attempt something at their own comfort level.

**The dollar value for the items should be around 7 to 10 dollars.

PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES FIRST for participation restrictions.


I will assign groups upon my return from vacation :D



If you want to participate, information to send to the hostess:

Amity username:

Swappers:

1. Tuesday
2. ChasingChe/Sandra
3. Soggy Granola/Gwen
4. Meagansmama/Stacey
5. Heythereheather/Heather

Me, but I'd like to specify that the things I'll probably make would be baby-related. So maybe we could have a swap group of 5-7 who could do baby items? :)

If that doesn't make sense or won't work LMK and I'll try to come up with something else :)

Well, how about if we start another swap instead? LOL...we do good to get 5-7 swappers at all, it may be easier to organize another swap? Same idea, but baby stuff? Would you want to host it?

sure - maybe after this one wraps up.

That's a really good point. Okay - I'm still in. I just need to get some inspiration on what to create for my pals ;)

Link me, if you have some ideas!! You always come up with the most clever things!

LOL, okay. I wasnt' trying to be a hag...that sound snooty after I went back and read it. I wasn't trying to be.

I'm going to brainstorm tonight, I'll list some ideas then. I'll add you :D

I'm in. I have the items already made up. But, is there a value here?

Oh, good thinking...I always tend to stick to a 7 to 10 dollar price tag in my head, but rarely think to put it in there ROFL

Me!!!! And are these for mamas, kids or either?

Me!!!! And are these for mamas, kids or either?
I was thinking, mama, household, car, decor, etc...but children would be okay if we can think of things that are gender and age neutral...Maybe nature table items?

This sounds like lots of fun, but even more than a month away with the ship date is too overwhelming for me. Maybe next time! :)

Don;t forget to add me to the list. :D

Is this a swap where you make one thing for one person or a swap where you have to make many things? I couldn't tell from the info.

Don;t forget to add me to the list. :D
I did forget!! ROFL...I'll go update it now LOL

Is this a swap where you make one thing for one person or a swap where you have to make many things? I couldn't tell from the info.

In this one, we're going to make manycopies of our item and then send to the hostess (me) and then I'll divide them into groups.

From the Swap Description:


In this swap you will make multiples of one item, send them to me, the hostess for division and packaging of groups.

Shall I add you to the list? <eyebrow wiggle> lol

ah but my coffee is just now getting into my bloodstream. I swear I read it lol.

Nah, I don't do multiple-item swaps anymore. It's bad enough I have to do the mini assembly line thing for my biz. :lol:

I'm not going to play this time either. My item is more in the $5 range and for kids (girls even more likely, lol, though some boys would want it maybe). Sorry, maybe next time.

I can join :-)
I'll send in my info later today :-)

I want to join. I"ll try hard to send my info soon, crazy-busy here, though. Off to shower now before book club then wedding.

alright. Since there aren't very many of us--what do you want more: sugar scrub, or an accordian-style photo album? Or something else?

sugar scrub!! :D

Actually, anything - but sugar scrub sounds lovely to me! :)

lol, I would love an accordian style album!
but either is fine ;-)

right now I am brainstorming nature table items for everyone :-)
I am in a softly felted figure kick right now :-)

I'm bummed that I missed this... hopefully I can get in on the next one.

So, how's everyone doing? Does everyone think they'll be ready to ship on time, or do we need to extend the date?

Sillymommy, we'll do another one soon okay? :D

I can ship on time, in the middle of them now :-)

AH! I'm not on time, I can ship by the end of the week. Somehow I got into my head that it was a ship date of the 6th.

Tuesday, I send 4 to you? Is that right?

yes 4 to me, and frankly I'm running behind as well, so I don't mind the shipping being moved out a little ROFL!!

How about as soon as you can (you as in all of us), but at least by next Monday?

Next Monday works for me,

a lesson I learned this week, I may only start things in front of my daughter, I may never complete or even begin to complete anything remotely cute or doll looking in front of my daughter, as she is hard to resisit and say no to, sigh

I need your addy again, hotstuff. :D

I had it on the other mac.

hmmm..it'll cost ya' ;)

I sent mine yesterday ;-):monkeydan
I hope you all like 'em, it's my new hobby
:heart:

Mine are done, waiting to be sent, and I keep flaking on asking you for your addy, Tuesday. Grrr. I'm sorry. Will you PM me your address?

mine are on their way - Heather I'll PM you Tuesday's address :)

TY! Mine are on the way--if I hadn't been so busy today, Tuesday, I would have driven them over just to expedite the process ;) I knew you were around me, but I didn't realize where you were (I'm in Oakland).

can you guys pm me privately and let me know who sent what ROFL for two reasons, 1. so I can make a list to put in the box when they ship ;) and 2. because I've recieved 3, I have mine, that's 4, and so I'm short one, but there aren't names on the return addy's so I'm not sure who's I have ROFL. Everything is GREAT though..JUST Great!!

Mine - they're personalized with swappers' names and tied with raffia - make sense? :)

:::::::::::::Cringing:::::::::::::

these shipped...today (well, tomorrow since the mail ran, but I printed the labels and got them ready)...priority....my dime.

Sorry again guys, thanks for the super understanding PM's about our families situation.

We seem to FINALLY be over it...woot woot :D

I hope everyone likes what I sent...I can tell you right now, you will all like what everyone else sent..super cute stuff :D I can't wait for another one of these swaps ;)

PERFECT timing!!! :) miss you, bunches!!!

tell me how much for shipping - you are NOT paying!!! poophead :p

No way mon. I waited WAY too long for this as well as screwing up ROFL


I miss you too!

I posted the swap items on my blog...if you want to SPOIL YOUR SUPRISE you can, but if not, stay away ;)

I got mine today! :) Very very very nice!

I'm glad you liked it :)
I can't wait to get mine!!!! No fair - you're in the same state!! :lol:
