I know the Fairy Tale swap is going on right now but,

Can we start a sign up for the Fall nature table swap already? I don't want to step on anyone's toes though if they had already wanted to be in charge of this..... but I do want to start on some projects for the fall nature table ( I know only mid-June, but never can start too early)

Can we keep it to a group of ten? (that would mean that we would send in nine items....) any more than that gets too many to make.

I'd also like to to have a ship by date the end of August so that way we can get it out on our tables by fall.....

Any takers?

7.Korwynne (recieved)
9.lazygirl

10. luvbugsmama (marcy)

ETA: I have updated the list and closed the swap. I know that there are three otheres who wanted to get in but when we do groups bigger than this it really gets too big and then things I think would just not turn out as nice. I do like the idea that someone gave of starting a Fall nature table swap group B and then if you are in group A you can not be in group B. So, for this swap send in 9 items to me by August 31st. I'll ship back within a day or two after recieving all the boxes. I'll post shipping totals after all the boxes are recieved and repacked. Generally the things are under a lb. and $3.85 covers it.

room for me? is there a price value?

amey · 06-21-2005, 09:19 PM

I may make pumpkin babies - if a test run comes out okay.

Still not committed, tho.

Ok, so now I am thinking ... should we have a fall nature table swap ending in August and then a Halloween/Samhain nature table swap ending in mid/late September? Or just include Halloween/Samahi items in the fall swap?

I definitely want to make the cauldrons and spell books, but they are definitely more for Halloween/Samhain. And I have so many ideas for fall too ... what should we do?

tmrhopkins · 06-21-2005, 10:40 PM

Lets do a Fall nature swap ending in August and then do a Halloween/Samhain one after that (ending in mid-September). Every one celebrates Halloween differently or not at all that way those that do, do Halloween can sign up for a Halloween swap..... would that be ok?

I'm updating our list now. I don't think we ever really set a price value did we? I'm thinking of the previous things we've gotten and I'd say in the $5-$10 range don't you all think?

I basically think that I try to swap something that I would like to get.

That's what I was thinking too. So I wil be making the cauldrons and spell books for the Halloween swap and I will have to decide what to do for this one

We never set any value on the swaps that I have organized ... I do what Tawnya does ... send something that I would be happy receiving.
