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.

More swaps sound good too me

I am sure I would do one or two..hehehe!

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....

mom2kbeth · 12-05-2005, 10:23 AM

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

mcmrymoon · 12-05-2005, 10:29 AM

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)

mom2kbeth · 12-05-2005, 10:31 AM

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.

mcmrymoon · 12-05-2005, 10:39 AM

6 is fine - i'm officially signed up for them all!

Gronilot · 12-05-2005, 12:12 PM

I signed up for all but the new years.. have too much on my plate to get it done in time. They are so much fun!

PolkaDot · 12-05-2005, 02:33 PM

I made it in for two of them. If anyone else does another Valentine type swap. PLease let me know..or go ahead and add me...LOL!

No..I am in no way addicted..nah..uh-huh...LOL!

Gronilot · 12-05-2005, 07:43 PM

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

mom2kbeth · 12-05-2005, 08:01 PM

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...
