silly question...but i am not sending the things for my own kids right

its late, i'm tired and i am trying to wrap up loose ends....

mom2kbeth · 11-12-2005, 01:02 AM

That's up to you. I think the count is either 9 or 10 kids total. I have one thing for everyone already together, including the items for my kiddos, so that everything is in one place when I give them their things.

huntersmama · 11-12-2005, 01:08 AM

thats a good point, it will be easier to give it to them if its all in one spot

okay thanks

<sheepishly asking>

i am sending 9 winter themed AND 9 magical/winter themed items...so 18 total. (or 8 of each if i decide to just keep my child's home until the rest arrive)

I was planning on doing snowflakes painted on tiny square mirrors (they're about an inch square) Then I was going to do little felt "elf stockings" for the magical part. What do you think? Sound okay?

mcmrymoon · 11-21-2005, 03:16 PM

i haven't picked a tiny winter item yet (that shouldn't be hard) but for the magical one i was thinking of a tiny ritual drum or rattle.

i like the elf stocking and snowflake mirrors!

lupineperriwink · 11-21-2005, 03:24 PM

for winter I am doing tiny mittens and scarves that will fit bendies (I hope). For the magical I was planning on mini snowflake wnds but I haven't attempted them yet so it may not work out.

Right

mom2kbeth · 11-21-2005, 03:48 PM

I love the ideas! I am sending tiny present boxes for holiday but don't know yet about magical. And I still ahve to get my butt in gear to get the stuff I am sending from Holden too!

mom2kbeth · 11-28-2005, 01:56 PM

Just a reminder ... Ship date is Thursday. We are down a swapper, so we are down to 8 kids. I will just divvy up any extra items that come in among the packages

huntersmama · 11-28-2005, 02:07 PM

WOW, everything sounds like it is just going to be soo wonderful

I can't wait

PolkaDot · 11-29-2005, 01:33 PM

I am just waiting on the applesauce ornies to dry

Almost done..but they will go out on time. The Reindeer food has been done.

The ornies are sun shaped and most of the spices used in them relate to Yule..so I thought they would be fitting for this

Not to mention how awesome they smell..hehehe.

Korwynne · 11-29-2005, 02:47 PM

things sound wonderful

I couldn't come up with magical ideas, so didn't sign up. *sigh* someone take a picture?

lupineperriwink · 11-29-2005, 03:06 PM

You'll laugh at my "magical' thing. I couldn't get the wands to work right because I am super picky so I made bowls of pixie dust. Or, bowls of sparkly snow I suppose. It's open to interpretation. I also did little scarfs for bendies and plan to make hats since the mitten idea was no good.
On a side note, I think I have totally screwed up my swaps because in my head they all sounded similar. I asked for a calendar and when I wrote all of the swaps down I had the wrong ideas down for them.
