Cool - I can't wait to get this swap back!

Thanks for hosting this bcarson, really appreciate your work on this!

[bcarson]

Okay ladies I worked on this last night. I have group one almost finished. I realized I need to bag my stuff duh! :lmao: This was harder then I thought. My printer won't work so I don't really have a working list while I am doing It. I am going to try and print off at work today. I should finish tonight or tommorrow. I hope I don't short anyone but please forgive me if I do. I really tried. Also It is not going to come back as neat as it came. I just layed everything out and dropped one in the envelope like an assembly line. Oh crazy! :rolleyes1

[bcarson]

I am taking group 2 to the post office this morning. I want to look over group one again. Thanks for your patience :thumbsup2

[Tink&Belle's Mom]

I am soo excited! My girls are already claiming parts and pieces for me use in their albums--and I get the feeling my oldest is eyeing some to use herself!

:wave2: Thanks to everyone in group 2! :goodvibes

[patchchild]

Mine got here today as well. What fun!! It was great to go through all the little bags. I have so many fun choices now. The only downside is, now I really have to do something about my ribbon storage.

[bcarson]

I am so glad. I didn't want you guys to think I was bs that this stuff was really coming. I will have group 1 out by Mon. NO MORE false promises. :thumbsup2 I just have had a hard time with my switch at work. I have been flip flopping back and forth until someone was hired. I actually train the girl this week. The only draw back I have to work second all week. :rolleyes:

[Diana Lyn]

I got my stuff today! Everything is great, my 2 year old helped me open the package and keeps saying WOW that's pretty! Thanks everyone! :cool1:

[kaddjr]

Mine came today also! :cool1: However, I ended up with an extra bag of eyelets (from Diana Lyn) and an extra bag of fibers (from ???)- anyone missing theirs?

Tink&Belle's Mom- My artistic 7yo DD was trying to check out my stuff, too!

[rsjj]

oh i can't wait. mine should be here any day!!! how exciting!! :flower:

[mickeyfan2]

Since my package should be arriving any day I have a questions. What is the best way to store ribbons and fibers?

[Diana Lyn]

Since my package should be arriving any day I have a questions. What is the best way to store ribbons and fibers?

When I'm feeling very organized, I just cut a 2x3 block of cardstock and wrap each kind around it and then file it by color in a plastic pencil box that I have. I use bigger pieces of paper for longer ribbons, etc.

But I won't tell you what my stuff looks like right now. :blush:

[jennyL]

Mine came either Friday or Saturday. I love everything and can't wait to use them in some upcoming scrapping.

[bcarson]

I am done! :cheer2: I am going to the post office sometime before I work at 2pm today. Thanks for being so patient :grouphug:

[ohMom]

got home after a long weekend away and my package was here -- thank you so much and i LOVE all my stuff!

[American Scrapper]

I am in group 2 and got mine today. I love everything I got!! I am missing some items though. I received all my eylets, 9 brads, 9 ribbons & only 6 fibers. If someone got extras please PM me. Thanks!

[New England Eeyore]

I got mine today too. Mine were kind of funky too - Ribbons were fine, I had 10 of 11 fibers, 11 instead of 10 brads and only 6 eyelets.

[Diana Lyn]

I just checked all mine to make sure I didn't have your extras, but it looks like everything was right with my package.

[jennyL]

I rechecked my pakcage too and everything is as it should be.

[MissBubbles]

Got my package Saturday and everything was there - 10 packs brads & 10 packs eyelets. Thanks to everyone in my group!

[bcarson]

I am glad that everyone had started getting them and I did mail the 1st group yesterday. I apologize that some were short. I think what happened that some people packaged it all together. Like when I redid group 1 a found tiny little brads in one package or brads and eyelets mixed together. Well some people did not sign up for brads. I had to get some of my things out to make up for a few. Which I don't want to sound like I minded doing. I guess I am just trying to say I really did try to make sure everyone got there stuff. It didn't help that I did this late at night. I should have checked groups 2 again but I was worried about getting them out. I guess I better retire from swap hostess. :blush: Will wait and see if anyone has extras. But I will try and make up for some of the shortages.

[rsjj]

i just got mine yesterday, when i came home! didn't realize it might be more than what i should have gotten. i just looked at all the pretty fibers/ribbons and assumed that it was all there. i will go home & double check...to make sure i don't have anyone else's extras. will let you know. btw...all the fibers/ribbons look so pretty!! (i'm in group 2) thank you all!! and thankk you bcarson for hosting!! :flower:

[American Scrapper]

bcarson, Don't beat yourself up about the shortage. I've never hosted a swap & trust me I can have the utmost respect & admiration for all that do. So, don't retire just yet! :goodvibes I understand that mistakes happen. Especially with all the little items that you had to seperate. I am fine with waiting for others in the group to confirm if they received extras.

THANKS!!

Kathy

[rsjj]

just checked my package...there seems to be one extra fiber in my bag. i think i'm supposed to get 10 each, including your own, right? i'm in group2, ribbon & fiber. so i have 10 ribbons & 11 fibers. so i must have someone's extra fibers. if someone is missing one, let me know where/who i should redirect it to. i'm not even sure which one is the extra...all i know is i have one extra. :flower:

[PoohBearLovinMama]

I forgot to post that I received my brads the other day. I got 10, so all was well with my package. :) Thanks for hosting!

[PixieDust32]

Hi ya'll! :wave:

My swap arrived today, thank yo so much! :Pinkbounc I loved everything. :thumbsup2

[clh2]

Mine came today!!! (brads and eyelets for Group 1)

Thanks everyone!

This was a fun swap...thanks bcarson!!!

[lewdyan1]

Mine came today! It was a little mixed up, 8 sets of brads came and I got double gold brads and the purple didn't come (which is okay, since those are the ones I sent and I have extra) If someone is missing gold brads, pm me your address and I will drop them in the mail.

Thanks for hosting this exchange. I got beautiful fiber and might used a lot of it to make a colorful collage page! :)

[mickeyfan2]

I got my package today. Thank you for doing such a fine job.

[marissat]

recieve mine today.thanks

Marissa

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

got mine :yay: Thanks, everyone....ESP bcarson!! :teeth:

[pjpoohbear]

Got mine today, great selections, fun swap!

But I didn't get the eyelets I sent in back from group one, the two sized seafoam set. I received only 9 sets of eyelets. I really liked those and now don't have any for myself. :confused3

I apologize that some were short. I think what happened that some people packaged it all together. ..... I had to get some of my things out to make up for a few. ..... I guess I am just trying to say I really did try to make sure everyone got there stuff....... I guess I better retire from swap hostess. :blush:.


bcarson, I think you did a great job...and it sounds like you went over and above what you needed to do, esp since it was not your fault that not everything was packaged separately. Thanks for the extra effort you put in! :wave:
