Everyone is so nice. Thank you so much! I can't do anything for the next several weeks, but I will definitely ask questions mid-January.
Thank you again.

Nan, if you need someone to host in summer time, I'm free from work starting mid-may until mid-august. I'm open to try anything

PrincessNancy96 · 12-14-2011, 10:45 PM

Reddy, if there is anything that interests you on the list feel free to claim it and let me know what you dates would be.

Hey Nancy, I am open for some hostessing. Let me know where I can help. I'd like to do the event swap for sure but you can put me anywhere. I always say im gonna go swap free but I know that I cant

I would love to run a partner swap like the one I used to run over on the cricut board. I loved making things for 1 person and making a good friend in the process. Let me know what you ladies think of that one. I can get you more information.

Let me know which ones you want exactly and the dates.... I'll be happy to get you on the board.
Partner swap... give me more information about it... I might be up for that one because I'm going swap free (except emergency angels) this year.
I'll mark you down for the event swap but give me dates when you have time.. NO hurries as I know the holidays are quickly upon us.

Nancy I cna host Secret Sister swaps again. I am not sure about other things- life has been so crazy this year and I don't want to commit and have trouble following through- I also think that any swaps I will be in next year will be to make gifts.

mycutiepatooties · 12-15-2011, 09:55 AM

Hi Nan!

I would like to give up Parks/Icons ~ 2" words & 4" letters. Someone else can hostess it if they'd like.

I do want to keep the Pass It Forward Swap. I'll let you know sign ups soon.

If hopemax doesn't want the paper piecing swap, I'll take it.

I'd like to hostess a new swap too if it's okay. Disney Wall Art. Picture all black mickey heads with different techniques/embellishments on each. participants each make the mickey heads and once you get them back you mount them to a 12x12 canvas (available at michaels for a couple bucks) and hang on the wall. It's suppossed to be an inspiration piece for a variety of different scrapping techniques. I made a similar project in a scrapbook class and it's hanging in my scrapbook room. I'd ask that everyone use the same bazzill black cardstock color base for the mickey heads and sign up for the different techniques I have listed. IF someone didn't want to use it as wall art to decorate their scrapbook room etc. then you could use the individual mickey heads as embellishments. What do you think?

While I'm planning on being swap free, this sounds fantastic!!! I would love to play

mommy2mrb · 12-15-2011, 11:46 AM

I love Rachal and Traci's new ideas! would be up for those!

PrincessNancy96 · 12-15-2011, 12:45 PM

Traci - I have your items marked.. just let me know when..
I would probably be up for the Disney Wall Art depending on when...

morgansmom2000 · 12-15-2011, 04:25 PM

I'd like to do the card and card candy next summer some time. Maybe sign-ups in June, due in August?

PrincessNancy96 · 12-15-2011, 09:43 PM

I'll update you tomorrow Jennifer... those time frames sound good!!!

mycutiepatooties · 12-16-2011, 08:59 AM

Can I do the wall art swap in July and the pass it forward in September? i'll give you more firm dates later if that's okay.

PrincessNancy96 · 12-16-2011, 09:55 AM

Traci, that sounds good.. I will plug you in for those months w/ TBA dates!

JohnsonsLoveDisney · 12-17-2011, 10:39 PM

Ya! New swaps!

Nancy will get you more info soon. I think my notes are on my computer at home. But basicly you choose a theme Disney, holiday, spring, summer, etc partner up everyone, you know your partner. You make and send to each other. Do a basic questionaire, but you can ask more questions and chat on the thread and via pm, email etc really get to k ow them.

Items: one altered item, basicly something handmade but not papercrafted
You can do other goodies too. Limit $10
then handmade stuffs: a new "challenge" every week.everything has to be within the theme and done to what your partner will use/like Examples: week 1, 6 photo mats, week 2, 2 shaker boxes, week 3 titles, week 4, paper piecings, week 5 mini album. All items have to fit into regular swap standards. Then at end of time mail to each other.

Super fun! Id get the best stuff from my partners and I could use everything since it was catered to me.

I think that sums it all up and hope it makes sense. Trying to type while dbf is driving. Haha.
