JUST DO IT, SWAP QUICK!

Question -- is there a dollar range for this swap? Or is it just for handmade things?

hmm, when will we know partners? susi

Wish I could join (I'm in Canada)...my mailbox is sooo empty and I'm sad. I've mailed out 7 swaps and have only received 1 back so far. Perhaps next week my mailbox will fill up?

Handmade only... I changed the send date just in case you needed more time...

if this goes good the next will be international...

pieces. sarah

Sarah, Could this not be US and Canada???

Would food or drink item be acceptable? Thanks for your time!!

Is anyone else having a problem with getting the partners info??

Swap-bot put in a new feature where the host of the swap has to click the space that says it's okay to assign partners now. It's so the hosts have a chance to make sure there are no problems before the swap begins. If the host doesn't click the button then swap-bot will automatically assign partners in 3 days, I think.

I am unable to see my partners. I think Sarah has to initiate the patner assignments with swap-bot so maybe she hasn't done that yet?

Kiki- Jinx. LOL! :*)

:O)

Nothing like squeezing a deadline :)

Yeah... I'm all set to go except I don't know WHO my partners are... yikes!

Me too! It's my first swap, and I'm very excited to find out who my partners are. :-)

I worry about making anything just yet for fear of allergies and dislikes. I hope we get our partners soon!! :)

HI there, this is my first swap and I'm not sure exactly where I find my partners. Are they listed in my "messages"?

Hi!

You just click on the line that states 'see the partners you send to' in the section at the top of the page that states 'As a member of this swap you can:'....That line will appear after partners are assigned.

We might need an extension of a day or two on this one! :O)

I'm ready to send my envelopes, just need the addresses. :*) I can't wait!!!

Will we get a deadline extension since our partners are not assigned yet?

Sorry guys!!! I forgot that I had to manually make it so you got yr partners addys... I am changing the send by deadlines, but send now if you want to. I've been at a friends for a few days without internet... so... here you go... get your partners...

Hi crystal, Laurina, and Julie, I sent your packages today, I hope you like them.

Thank you Sarah! :*)

When I do errands this afternoon will mail packages to Pam (hi, Pam!), Jenna (yup, got your name again! :) and Jennifer. Hope you like!

I finally filled out my profile for the first time, just in case my partners want to look at it for inspiration. I'm so excited about my first swap; I've got everything picked out and ready to be wrapped. I will be sending my packages to Heidi, Stacy, and Sarah by Saturday!

I sent mine out today to:

yooper hill hiedi ms amy o

Enjoy... hope you like.

Is the 5th alright you guys??? or shall I change it???

let me know!

I sent mine out yesterday afternoon. :*)

I know that it is way late in the game to be asking such questions, but are these items supposed to be hand crafted?? I would hate to screw this up! LOL

Hi fairykiss!

Yup, it's supposed to be a hand crafted item--one for each of your three partners. :O)

Thanks for clearing that up... it's what I figured, but I didnt want to send something handmade if it was to be "supplies" or things of that nature. Thinking too hard about it I guess...

I got my package from Pam today -- or anyway, I found it in the mailbox today, but I haven't checked the mailbox in a couple days, so it may have been here earlier. ;) Anyway, it's here, and we started using the pin cushion right away. ;D Thanks!

Well I sent my envelopes to BrendaLea, Theresa and Jackie in the mail on the 1st. There wasn't a specific "to swap" item listed so I apologize for nothing homemade. Hope you like it anyway!

sent mine out and received one today :)

loves the labels... useful! thanks

I just got some beautiful cards from Amanda H (sorry I don't know your swapbot name or even if this is the right swap??). Thank you so much, they will be put to great use.

As for my partners, I got everything done and ready to go. I just don't know if I can make it to the post office today with my kids because it is so freezing cold.... I will try really hard to though :)

Fairykiss- I hear ya... it's 6 degrees here right now and with the windchill it's a whole -10 degrees, brr. It took a lot for me to even go outside to check my mail today, lol.

But I did check my mail and it was well worth it! Thank you Cainna and Amy for your wonderful packages to me, I love them!!!

Hi Jenna,

Thank you for your wonderful package of 2 ATC's, my first ones! They are so nicely done, I just love them.

Hi Jennpal,

I received your package today. Thank so much for the lovely crocheted hat.
:o)

i got the brightest dishcloth lastnight when i got home- thanks so much Mrs. Clement!!!

i sent my envelopes yesterday- the last day... so they might run a little late...

Theresa Caesar: Received the lovely bracelet yesterday. Thanks so much! BrendaLea

prpldy, res_a, and Mutantpenguin: your stuff is in the mail as of right now. I really do hope that you enjoy it!!

Hi Kiki,

I received your package today.

Thank so much for the microwave mitt, I just love it. :o)

Thank you Lynn for the stationary & address labels. How did you know I was out? Thank you Theresa for the little pink bracelet. Its adorable.

there is a new flickr group to share swap-bot photos. the group name is "Swap-bot.com swaps"

Thank you, OrcaSong, for looking at my profile and sending me a bookmark with a BUNNY on it!! :O)

I got a lovely green and pink scarve from cianna,atc's from ann marie, and more atc's from goobearsmom.... I love my new scarve!!!! and of coarse I love my new atc's! I just started making atc's and only had one in my book besides my own, so these are not only lovely gifts, but my instant inspiration and a much needed addition to my book!

thanks a bunch!!!

also... I set up Just Do It #2...look for it!

hey...

where are those people with halo's ???

I could use an angel or two to finish up this swap...

contact if ya can just do it....

if not i'll figure it out...

piece! sarah

Hi Sarah!

I have only received one item in this swap but I see only one person is marked as 'not sent'. So I think I should have at least one more item coming, maybe both, who knows. I'll let you know.

Thanks!!

Hi Yooper!

Thank you so much for the great cards, I love them!!

I got my 3rd package today! Thank you to all my partners!

I also heard back from one of the people I sent to. I'm so glad it made it to you and that you like it. I hope to hear from the rest of you soon... :)

oops, one of the packages was for another swap! I guess I'm still missing one...

Manda: Received the wonderful purple and green scarf! I love that you made it out of cotton and it matches my wionter coat perfectly! Thanks so much! You can count on it being worn a lot! I also liked the stitch you used...was it the butterfly stitch?

Lynn R.: Thanks for the stationary and the labels. Ca never have enough labels. I really appreciate them. Thanks!

BrendaLea in Southern Illinois

prpldy, I'm glad that you liked it! To be honest I have no idea what stitch it was, but it was in the 2007 crochet a day calendar ;)

Most of the items I have been receiving are not handmade. Maybe there was a misunderstanding... I got glitter for something sparkly and a small notpad with a sparkly cover. It has all been fun to receive any way and thank you!

Please disregard the above comment! OOPS!

***Its rather disappointing to see that some of you have marked 'sent' when you havent, or perhaps you sent really late?? thanks to all of you who completed this swap!!!

for those of you who havent yet recieved please contact me... and rate accordingly.

I did get all 3 of mine! yay :) and so far I have heard from 2 that i have sent to. not bad at all!!

so... for those of you who havent recieved from hiedi you will be recieving from elizabeth, a newbie who happens to be a friend of mine... I envy her work so I hope you enjoy it too... but you wont be able to rate her so rate your reall partners accordingly and Please thank elizabeth when you recieve. anyone else not recieve yet (that I havent talked to?)

Sarah, I can be a swap fairy if you still need one. Hey people, what size should I resize my photos to post in the gallery. I've taken a few as is from my computer and they are HUGE n the gallery, can;t even see the whole thing without scrolling. Thanks!!!! Chy
