FaveCrafts Valentine's Card Swap

YAY! Very excited to do this! Now that I can use my hands fully since my recent operation, I am MOST happy to blow the dust off of the crafty place in my brain and break out my stash! Is there an approximate date to expect the info about our swap partners?

You will receive your partners' information after February 4, which is the last day to sign up. Glad to have you in the swap!

Woo hoo! Can't wait to get started! I love making new swap friends!

This is my first ever swap. Looking forward to it!!

I can hardly wait to give this a try. My first time doing this. maryannr1742

This is my first time here. I am in a regular card swap with 5 email friends that I met by other card swapping friends. we swap cards about 5 or 6 times a year, but have become real friends. I really miss those days when everyone exchanged valentines. Glad to be doing this.

My first time doing anything like this, I'm really excited. I can't wait to get started!!

This is my first time here and I love Valentines so I can't wait.

I love this idea! I can't wait to make my cards this will be the first time I've ever done it!

Also my first time doing this. Very excited!

This is a first for me as well! Usually the only Valentines I do are the ones I get ready for my kids to take to school, so this is going to be fun & interesting!

This is also my first swap, and I am MOST excited! :0)

This is the first time I have done this particular swap. I have sent cards at multiple holidays to the Recovering SolidersC/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center,6900 Georgia Ave,NW Washington, DC 20307 -5001 along with the kids. That was great but I am looking forawrd tp this swap more than ever. Nancy

Awesome site, love the concept. Thank you Kris for recommending this link to me :) Very excited to swap valentines, gives me a reason to "stalk" my mailbox (lol) :)

I am looking forward to making cards for my first swap. I will be watching the mailbox to receive cards on Valentine's Day.

This is my first swap! Sounds fun and I love FaveCrafts!

are we making this card for the other person? or is this a card that they can use to give someone else?

You'll be making cards to give to your partners, so feel free to write a nice message inside :)

Fun! Fun! Fun! I am super excited to get something LOVEish. Yippy! Glitter.

I've never been to this site before. Sounds like fun and I'm thrilled to try my hand at card making. I've purchased my supplies for this swap. Hope I can do another swap. My forte is crochet.

Can't wait to get started waiting for my people!!! YEAH!

Do we sign the cards

What a neat idea! Snail mail is so exciting....not just junque mail!!

I am new to SWAP~BOT and I am very excited!

eee!.. I'm feeling the love already!

I am a crocheter, so this might prove to be a challenge. I am looking forward to see what creative thing I can come up with. This is my first time for anything like this!

I am making my Valentines today. This is going to be fun.

I'm excited! This is my first swap too!

Can we send it as a post card or does it need to be in an envelope? I like postcards a lot :)

Postcards are fine too, as long as they're homemade! And yes, please sign your cards so your partners know who they're from :)

this is my very first time doing anything like this. i taught school for many years. valentines day was such fun---making cards and decorations and guess who valentine cards. just because we are out of school doesn't mean we can't do this fun stuff! cguls

Look at all the first time swap folk. I 2 am new at this fun stuff. I am proud to be a swap-bot virgin with ya'll........LET THE GLITTER FLY! love love love love to everyone. HAVE FUN!

Hello I am new here & well meaning this is my first swap. :D I'm hoping that I get my three partners soon. I love to receive as well as gift cards/postcards. I remember enjoying Valentine's when I was a little kid. when we all made v-day cards for our classmates then sticked them in our homemade mailboxes. Good times!

Hi...I am totally new and just so happen to run across this while looking at my e-mail this morning in favecrafts....Can't wait to see who my partners are...Looking forward to the fun of creating and swapping...time to dust out the cobwebs on the brain... :)

I too am new to swapping, this is my first time and I too am excited to join in. I think I will start working now so I will have my cards ready when I get my swap partner. Have a good day all.

When will we get the info on who we are swapping with? and are we doing 3 people each? Never done a card swap and I am so excited! Just want to make sure I have all the info and am correct in what is expected of me. Thanks so much.

This is my first time also, and I am looking forward to making 3 special cards! I will heading to my favorite craft store for some supplies!!

This is my first time also, I am just getting into card making this past year and it has been fun. All the different stuff you can think of for cards .. I just love going with my imagination. This should be fun ... feel like a little kid again, waiting for my list and getting my valentines all done and waiting for mine to arrive ... .. this will be fun.

This is my first swap & I'm so eXcited!!

I am very exciteed about this swap. This is my first time and I am looking forward to meeting new friends.

Very exciting!

What information do we need to include in the card so we get confirmed for sending them out? I'm pretty excited there's a bunch of newbies (including me). I already started making mine!

Just like making things with my hands, ideas come into my miind and need to make something sharing the object is great also alicexx

Well, It's kinda nice to be making cards for myself to distribute and not 50 for my kids classmates!! This is also my first time ever doing this and I hope it's not my last! Happy Crafting =0)

You all will know who your partners are after the deadline passes (which is tomorrow!!!). In your card, just include your name or username so that your partners know who their cards are from.

I am so excited to be joining the fun! This is my first swap ever!

I am very excited also. First time I have joined a swap. Hope it is joyful for all. Cant wait to recieve my names and addresses.God Bless.

Has anyone recieved there partners yet. I havent

I have not rec'd my names yet...

You should all be able to view your partners now. Happy swapping!

don't know, where and how to see my partners ... :(

now I see it!!! yay!!!

Recieved my partners and sent them out yeah :o). I was like a little kid waiting for piece of candy. Has been fun. Can't wait to recieve my cards. Hope everyone enjoys the swap. God Bless.

Please explain where to find the individuals that receive my.cards. please?

This may be a silly question....but, should I be sending cards that are blank inside, so that the person can use them as s/he wishes?

I'm new... Email said to come here and pick up my partners. Now where do I go to find them? Anyone?

islandgirl, I was wondering the same thing.... Also I can;t see my swaps info. Is there somewhere I should click to see them?

islandgirl ~ I found out where you find your swap partners...... Up in the right hand corner of this page there is a yellow box ~ drag your pointer over SWAP MEMBER OPTION, click and a box will pop up with your partners.

Since this is a first swap for many, would you all please take a look at the Help section in the upper right hand corner and read how to do all the stuff for this? And if you still have questions, feel free to PM me. Also, many of you need to fill out your profiles more thoroughly so that we can see what to send you in swaps. Even in card swaps, partners often may wish to tailor the card to you (though they certainly don't have to do so, as this is a sender's choice swap). Also, some swappers like to enclose extra surprises, but with no info, they probably won't know what ribbons, or stickers, or paper, or colors that you might enjoy if they wanted to do that. Ensure you at least put down what you can't stand to get, such as if you don't want religious items, like cards with a Christian theme, or if you hate scented items. Also, clue in to what crafts you like to do, fave colors, animals, etc. Thanks!

I have 3 to swap with, but cannot get to their names. Please help Thank you!

This will be my first swap. Have not had engery to get going on my crafting, sounds like this will work. Thanks, and Happy Valenetines Day to all

They're on their way! ;-)

In the envelopes and ready to go!!!

PattiAnneH-just click on the yellow box (upper right hand corner of this page) in the place where it says "see who you send to" and a little box will pop up with the information to send to. Sometimes, the box pops up under this page, but if that happens, just click on it in the bottom of your computer screen and it will come back on top so you can see it. Unless you have all pop-ups blocked in some kind of really high security setting. If that is the case, you may have to look a your security settings and reset the one to allow pop-ups from trusted websites????

Can't wait! Already sent mine out this am. Second time for me in a swap....hoping this one is the best...Renee

Got mine off in the mail today, I hope everyone likes it!!!!

Since my forte is crocheting, I hope the cards are not too juvenille. I usually make cards with my grandkids, so they are a little unconventional. However, got them finished today and on their way. . . . .

Mine are in the mail! This was fun! Happy Valentines Day to all of you!

Sent first thing this morning!

Got mine in the mail. It was so much fun making Valentines again.

This is my first swap too, so hope I measure up. The weather (snow)has played a huge part in what I was able to do right now. I had lots of craft supplies on hand, so had to mkde do with them this time. Can't wait to post office until tomorrow, but pkgs are packed. It was fun.

Received my first card yesterday and it's BEAUTIFUL! Love it! It was also great fun making and mailing the cards out. Glad I stumbled across this swap.

A quick question though, what is the gallery slideshow and are we supposed to upload pictures of what we sent or what we received? If so, where do we upload from. I've looked through help and the forums and can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks! Julia

Going to mail my envelopes now...I've received one so far and it was too cute!

I rec'd my first card today! Thanks Dee Dee from OR...it's beautiful!

I have rec'd 2 cards yesterday, I love them...thank you Janet from CT & Celeticmoon from ?...:o)

Sent my Valentines today. This is my first swap and I'm really excited. I hope my partners like what I've sent. I can't wait to receive those being sent to me!!

To Barbara in IN, Donna in NC, and Renee in CA,Missed the P.O. today, can't seem to get there before it closes during the week, getting there first thing in the AM, sorry for the delay hope you like it :)

Sent out the Valentines today - sorry about being late I did contact all partners today to let them know it would be in the mail -

I contacted my partners to let them know I will be late. So sorry.

Robinski2011 2/14/2011 Received 2 of my three In the Valentine Card Swap. Had fun doing this. My very first Swap.

I received my card from Chelli today...so pretty! LOVED the heart stickers...thanks so much!

I am very sorry my cards are late!!! My partners should be getting them this week and I sent them an email. So sorry! :(

Thank You Ruth for my beautiful Valentine yours is the only one I recived so far. I don't have your e-mail.

Thank you my valentines for the cards.. Dolores

Have all my Valentines swap cards now thank you to my partners. God Bless

to Lois Mullikin, I give you 5 hearts because of the neatness of the card but could use more hearts on the card because of the theme V Day. Overall well done!

5 hearts because of your last name being the same as mine. Really, I am not sure of your special crafting interests but maybe quilting, anyway, great use of your crafting ideas. ruth I would like to know if you would be able to look up my daughters address for me? She lives at lake Stevens? ruth

I loved doing this swap! I sent all 3 of my cards, was rated for only 1, and received 2. Don't forget to rate your partners, Newbies! Ratings are an important part of swapping, too. Rating your partner not only lets your partner know that their swap item arrived to you, it lets other swappers, especially coordinators of swaps, know what kind of swapper we are. And if you haven't sent your swap yet, it's never too late!

I received all of my 3 Valentines! Everyone did an awesome job!:)

Of the 3...I sent out: 1 has been received & rated... 1 is pending arrival into Greece..anyone have a clue how long it takes to ship to Greece? Have PM'd my partner just in case.... The 3rd one sent to CraftyGal1965...have received no response/have PM'd her/and apparently this was the only swap she signed up for and hasn't been back on Swap-bot since and has earned several 1's from her other partners. Does anyone know anything about this swapper?

I'm new at SWAP-BOT. I'm very excited to join. I love to get mail and to see what kind of work everyone else does. Oh I can't wait.

So glad I'm going to be a part of the swap! This will be the first time I've participated in something like this. I've always wanted to ! YEAH!

Linda
