I think in the past we have done 5. Does that sound about right?

Small roung buttons- should be around 10 per person. Shaped buttons is 5 per person.

I would like a metal and anything goes. Thank you!

How big are the charms?

I have updated to here- please let me know if I made a mistake!
S :)

[tyniknate]

My groups look great except for bling. I don't really have much or use much that is blingy. :rolleyes: P.S. Thanks for signing me up. Now it's off to soccer.

Do you want me to take you out of the bling group?
S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

How big are the charms?



They are about 3/4 x 3/8

[Arizona Rita]

Are they the enamle ones we get from OTC? If they are, like mine, should one set design, usually about 6, be one set?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine only have four different ones.

[chiefdragon]

For the Prima group I got Daisy Doodles in the color Cherry.

[Arizona Rita]

AWM, do you have enough to send 6? Or do you think we should do more than 6? In your case it could be a set of 4 plus 2.

Tyniknate (sp) go to OTC and look up "Enamle Charms" that will give you a good example.

Hello!:yay: Can I also have a spot in the second shaped brads group? Thank you! Brad fiend here!:rolleyes1

[MissDisney04]

YAY i didnt think i made it (today was crazy hectic)

i am soooo happy to be in this swap :)

[MazdaUK]

Can I have a spot in the shaped brads please - I found some cute teacup brads with free P&P :goodvibes

BUT

I have a problem with my eyelets:headache: They are not just small, they are teeny (1/16" you know how it is when you want to get your online order done before DH gets home and you're not chekcing sizes properly :rolleyes1 ) Can anyone use them? They're so tiny I can't use them in a cropadile :mad: so I'll be using my stash instead for this - probably large metallic.

My ribbon for printed is cowboy, regular brads are pastel, plain ribbon is blue, anything goes is "lucky dip" ;)

[AlexWyattMommy]

AWM, do you have enough to send 6? Or do you think we should do more than 6? In your case it could be a set of 4 plus 2.



::yes:: I have enough for that. :thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

yes, please take me off of bling. Sorry if I had it on my list, I didn't mean to.
Does anything metal have to be charms?

[AlexWyattMommy]

yes, please take me off of bling. Sorry if I had it on my list, I didn't mean to.
Does anything metal have to be charms?

Last time I got a mixture of buckles, book plates, clips and things like that. Not just charms.

[catinthehat35]

May I please sign up for:
A2 Ribbon
D2 Brads

Got all your groups down. If you want to save shipping- I can order some larger eyelets for your groups.

Got you down! Glad you have joined us.

[MissDisney04]

i am definitely sending out of my stash (trust me, i have PLENTY lol)

i am using this swap to revamp my current stash, *** i am *used to* everything i have (plus i have so much that there are extras and such of everything)

i will be buying the Primas, but i dont know which ones yet

[MazdaUK]

I counted my 3/8" and I just don't have enough to do 6 groups of 10 :headache: So if you could order some eyelets on my behalf and let me know the $$ I'll put it in with the postage (it also means one less item on the credit card;) ) Thank you so much! I'd prefer large as I like to thread through them but anything is fine. My printed ribbon came - I think you're going to like it!:goodvibes

That will work- I will put something extra on my order and then split them and place them in the bages with your other ones. Does that work?
S :)

[rlovew]

I will take the last metal group- it may be a hodgepodge of items if that is okay.

Rebecca

[Mickeyteacher]

Rebecca

That works! I will add you!
S :)

[MazdaUK]

perfect! Thanks MT. I've got 40 large metallic eyelets (MM I think) so if you can get me one box that will be great. I'll include the spare bags and labels :thumbsup2

[Mickeyteacher]

If they are going in with a group you are already bagging- I can just add them. S :)

[Mickster]

How did I totally and completely miss this one? I'd like to be in Brads and Anything Goes. :)

Thanks!

[Mickster]

What is the due date??

[PrincessNancy96]

Mickster,
Its due in June... I'll check the date in the other thread...

[PrincessNancy96]

This is quoted from the original discussion thread...
This has the due date..

Looks like we can do a sign up on May 2nd with a due date of June 15th.
How does that sound to everyone?
S :)

[kkbeaton2]

Hi,

Can I go ahead and get in the 2nd brads group also? Thanks.

Kristi

[catinthehat35]

Can I sign up for the anything goes group as well. My items for my other groups are already ready to go so I am up for another group! LOL!! Is it okay to send these items early (like next week, or as soon as you close the sign-ups)

[MissDisney04]

just a couple questions :)

how many or what kind of *blingy* things?

can the metal stuff be a mix of items instead of each bag being the same?

and can all the bags be different, or do we have to send everyone the same thing for the group theme?

[Arizona Rita]

Do we need to list what we are sending? If so, here are 3 of my groups

Fiber~Fun Fur-stripes~ Mexicana
Buttons~round~mix bag of sizes and pastels and primarys
Metal~charms~Mexicana/Southwest~cutesy

[MazdaUK]

MT, I'm going to get $$ on Friday so if you know by then how much I owe for they eyelets I can get that too:goodvibes

[chiefdragon]

I can not believe it....I was able to get everything bagged up last night and am ready to send. I think it might be the easiest swap I have very done.

[MazdaUK]

I'm bagged and will mail next Friday:thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

I have everything but fibers and buttons. Should have them by next week to mail.

trying again, *** i dont wanna mess up

[Mickeyteacher]

trying again, *** i dont wanna mess up

First of all- you can not mess up!
These are items I can come up with myself, but really I would think everyone was thinking sparkly.
Some examples might be: Gems, Skittles, glitter items, shiney items, decorative brads/ eyelets

Really anything that put some thought into will be great- don't worry about messing up- we only beat you with a wet noodle the first time! :rotfl:

[MissDisney04]

awesome! thanks so much

[tyniknate]

For the flower group, are we still splitting a whole bottle since there's only a couple of us? The bottle I have has 175 flowers in it. How many do I send, what's in the guide or the whole bottle split between us?

[MissDisney04]

my vote is to break it into fourths, *** that way we all get a variety

but i am really good no matter how it is done....

[tyniknate]

Works for me. I just didn't want to send the 20 small flowers or 10 medium flowers only like in the instructions if everyone was splitting a whole bottle. I guess a whole bottle it is then.

[MissDisney04]

actually that was my concern too, my husband came up with my solution lol

[MissDisney04]

i just want to make sure its ok that i am doing this:

since i am in every group, i am precombining and overlapping groups into one bag

example:
catinthehat35 is in 3 groups with me:
Group A (ribbon)
Group D2 (Brads- Round)
Group L2 (Anything Goes)

so instead of 3 separate bags (meaning more plastic and bulk) i added all 3 to one group with a label attached that says: To: Catinthehat35 From MissDisney

is that ok, or do i need to have bags for each item, then bag the group together, just to have Mickey Teacher seperate and re-distribite the bags?

either way i am fine, but i would prefer to save the plastic if possible

ETA:
within the bag, the metal, paper or fiber things are seperated by bags, but not broken down, if that makes sense

[AlexWyattMommy]

Each hostess is different, but in my swaps I prefer you to NOT combine them.
I sort each group and use a packing list to pull from the groups to put in the boxes/envelopes for each swapper. If you presort by swapper it makes it harder for me to be sure that each group had the right number of baggies. MickeyTeacher will tell you what she prefers. It may be different for each swap she hostess, so you should always ask. :flower3:


I am bagged/labeled and ready to mail. I'll post here again when they are in the system.

I'm ok with combining the groups for this swap because I'm home for the summer and I will have time to sort them.
S :)

[MissDisney04]

so i should redo them? its not a problem, i just wanted to simplify the waste

[AlexWyattMommy]

so i should redo them? its not a problem, i just wanted to simplify the waste

:hug:Nope. MickeyTeacher said you were fine the way you were.

Will you be joining other swaps? We love new blood. :love:

[MissDisney04]

i definitely will, i just need to find some i can do/will apply to me :)

i love elements swaps, so i will look for one for sure (i neeeeds Disneyland elements, i have 4 trips either not scrapped or partially scrapped, and elements always get me inspired to work on them lol)

thanks for clarifying for me, both of you :D

this is the container of Primas i bought
https://www.totalpapercraft.co.uk/images/prima%20green%20mix.jpg
well actually, its like that one, the same flwoers, but instead of giant ones, its the 1-2 inch package (60 pieces)

I bought a green (pictured) and an orange, and i am mixing them up (everyone is getting 15)

[MazdaUK]

:moped: I am postal:goodvibes Things generally take about a week, but the last thing I send (ATC swap) took over 2 weeks so don't hold you're breath;)

[tyniknate]

Can someone PM me the address to send these? Wanna go postal but don't have the addy to send them to. Maybe my trigger finger deleted it at some point.

[AlexWyattMommy]

[Mickeyteacher]

I will send out my address to everyone tomorrow.
I have been so busy/ nervous this week waiting for our state testing scores to come in. I'm happy to report that all 21 of my kids (DS included) did really well on the test- Our school was number 1 in the county!

I promise, I will get the address out tomorrow.

S :)

[kkbeaton2]

My stuff is bagged and tagged already, but I will be sending with my EPCOT swap stuff, so when that gets done I'll be sending it in.:thumbsup2

[catinthehat35]

Just wanted to let you know that my items will be in the mail on Monday. I had back surgery last week and I wasn't able to get my items out before like I had hoped. My items are bagged and tagged and will go out Monday morning. I can't wait to see all the wonderful items I will get in return. Thanks for hosting!!!

[MazdaUK]

Ouch:headache: Hope you feel better soon (and it fixes what was wrong :thumbsup2)

I hope you are recovering well. I will be on the look out for them later this week.

[MissDisney04]

i hope you get better quickly too...back injuries are no fun ever

[Mickeyteacher]

How is everyone doing? Are we all mailed? If I do not have your stuff, please post your status.

Thanks,
S :)

[Mickster]

I have my stuff bagged...I just need to get out to the post office...

[kkbeaton2]

I will be mailing mine out either later today or first thing tomorrow morning. I was just finishing up with my EPCOT swap so that I could ship them together. They will be there on time.

[MissDisney04]

i will be mailing on Friday or Saturday (my dad's checks arent always on the same day *** his manager is lazy)

i have been ready to go for like a month haha...

[kkbeaton2]

Mine and LaWannaYeagers have been mailed. I have a dc if necessary.

[Mickeyteacher]

Mail Call....

Tyniknate you package arrived today. Everything looks great!
S :)

[Mickeyteacher]

I have updated the first post with all the received packages.

I'm hoping that all the packages will be here by mid-week, so that I can swap them out.

S :)

[kkbeaton2]

I checked my dc today, and it still shows it in transit, so hopefully by Monday it will be there. (My box had my stuff and LaWannaYeager's stuff).

[Mickster]

I went postal last week so it should be there very soon. :):scared:

[MissDisney04]

i had to wait till today to mail, *** the darn post office was closed when i got there on saturday, so yea, it goes out today

[Mickeyteacher]

KKbeaton your package arrived today. The neighbors just brought it over.

The last 2 packages are on their way, so I will start the swapping tomorrow morning.

S :)

[MissDisney04]

mine is postal! yay

[Mickeyteacher]

We are all swapped out... except the 2 packages that are on the way.

I will add thier stuff when it comes and get them out the next day.

Thanks everyone for the extra goodies.

S :)

[MazdaUK]

Brilliant! I need some more stash (well, not exactly need... :guilty: )

[Mickeyteacher]

MissDIsney- You box arrived today.

I have added it all to the stash- so we are only waiting on one box.

S :)

[Mickster]

Seriously? It isn't there yet? :mad: Sorry everyone...

[Mickeyteacher]

Seriously? It isn't there yet? :mad: Sorry everyone...

It is not a problem for me- I'm just a little worried. When did you mail it?

I have everything done and finished- I will try to mail all the packages tomorrow for everyone except the people in Mickster's groups (I think that is 5 people).
S :)

[Mickeyteacher]

Please see post #2 to see if it is time to stalk the post person.

I mailed back any box today that was complete. I'm hoping with the neighbors get home that Micksters package has arrived and I can finish up all the rest tonight.


S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

:woohoo: Time to stalk!

[Mickster]

So...did it arrive??:confused:

[Mickeyteacher]

So...did it arrive??:confused:

Not yesterday.

I have a friend who lives in upstate PA- sometime it can take 10 days for something to arrive from there and other times it takes 2 days.

I will let you know after todays mail runs.
S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

My package arrived today.

Thanks so much for hostessing.

Everything looks great!

[Arizona Rita]

I recieved my package yesterday and there's some really fun things in there!
Thanks everyone!

[chiefdragon]

I had the most wonderful suprises this morning when I got home from WDW. My package had arrived and was waiting to be opened (can not believe that my Mom did not open it to see what was inside).

Thanks so much for hosting.

[tyniknate]

My box arrived yesterday. Thanks for hostessing and thanks everyone for all the great stuff. Now, to put it to good use!

[MazdaUK]

Hope Mickster's box arrives today - though I didn't think we were in any of the same groups:confused3

[Mickster]

Seriously...you and me both...:eek:

[Mickeyteacher]

Seriously...you and me both...:eek:

Me Three...

Serously, I have called the postmaster at my postoffice. He is going to try and trace it and see what information he can find out.

S :)

[Mickeyteacher]

OK, here is where we stand- the post office has the package some place between here and NJ. Serously, it was mailed from PA, sent to a distribution center in NJ, scanned in there and then has vanished. He said that it might show up soon, but it has never made it to the GA post office.

So, here is what I'm thinking of doing. I will go this evening and get items to cover Mickster's spots. I want everyone to get a complete swap back, so I do not mind. Then I will sort them when I arrive home on Sunday and mail everything on Monday.
How does that sound?

I hate that the post office has messed this up for us.

S :)

[MazdaUK]

When it works its fine, but when they mess up....:headache:

I honestly don't mind not getting a full set, I'd hate for you to have trouble.spending over this. You can save my set for Mickster for when it comes :thumbsup2

[catinthehat35]

I don't mind not getting a full set either. There is no need to do extra work. I am fine either waiting for her stuff to arrive or just sending out what you have. Whatever is eisest for you. Thanks for the update.

[Mickster]

This is exactly what my postmaster has also said. I hate for you to get more stuff, though...I can resend...or send to everyone individually...I'm so sorry, guys! This has never happened before... :confused3

Mickster- do not worry- this is way beyond your controll.
Thanks everyone for understanding.

S :)

[MazdaUK]

Stuff happens! We've all had stuff be later than expected, its surprising things don't got AWOL more often given the number of swaps we do:rolleyes1
Waiting is fine - I'm used to it;):rotfl2:

i certainly dont mind waiting until the package arrives

its weird how things get mailed through...i once sent a package to NY and it went to CA first (i am in NV, so thats going farther away lol) even weirder is the fact that we have a distribution center here (i believe from what i have been told)

sorry i was absent, life took control

I just got back from vacation, and I'm a little confused (:confused3), have the rest of these gone out, or not? Thanks!

The last few packages will go out tomorrow. I was waiting until the last possible day. We are leaving for a trip on Friday and I want to mail everything before we leave. Mickster's package has not shown up- I think the post office people must be enjoying all our goodies. :scared:I will post tomorrow once they are all postal.

Sorry for the confusion,
S

That's fine. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was just affraid that something had happened to my package while I was on vacation. I had put a hold on my mail, so I thought maybe it didn't get put with my mail. I am looking forward to seeing all of the cool things!

[Mickeyteacher]

Everything is mailed except the 2 packages that I could not find addesses for this morning. I have pmed MissDisney and MazdaUK for address.

I hope everyone likes their items.

Mine too arrived yesterday...I would have posted yesterday, but we decided at the last minute to go to the Phillies game...half price tickets...but they won, in record breaking fashion.

Did my package ever arrive? I would just love to know where mine ended up! Thanks for handling that mess!:worship: I'm just sorry it happened...

I received my items back as well. Not sure of the date, I've been dealing with strep so the days have kinda run together. Thanks for hosting this really fun, easy swap.

[MissDisney04]

i recieved!! thank you so much, i love it all, and now its just a matter of deciding what i am going to take with me to the little apartment until i move (this package made the decision even harder lol)

[MazdaUK]

My stuff came yesterday:banana: Now I just need to put it away so i can find it;)

[Mickster]

Ladies...if I wasn't so tired from camp, I'd be laughing...but

I got a USPS letter from Atlanta today saying they found an empty wrapper with my address in the mail and it is believed to have been separated from my parcel during handling. (the label looks like it was in a war...) So I can have them search for the parcel and then get the money back or I can suck it up and not get the money back. I guess I need to tell them it was 2 gallon sized bags with 5 or 6 smaller baggies inside with various brads in different colors and/or any type of metal thing I wanted :rotfl2:.

I might be able to get my shipping back. :confused3

Then they very nicely tell me that proper packaging and including my name and address inside would avoid this inconvenience. That's right...I've never mailed anything before. sigh...:headache:

Well, at least that sort of explains why it never got there...:lmao:

Mickster,
Let me at them... it's rained all day on my birthday and I would like to tell them what I think about the "proper packaging and inserting your info inside the package"... last time I checked in all of this the damn bag is still missing right? They just found your packaging label...

I'd go after them for some of the $$.... but really I'd like to tell them a few other things too!!!

:hug:

I guess whenever we mail our bills we better include our shipping info there too..because we never know when we will need to have them sent back to us.... ergh!

[Mickster]

Today is your birthday? Man, I have been so out of touch...hippo birdie then! :)

I know...the letter was pretty silly... The whole thing is pretty silly...sigh...

[MazdaUK]

separated from my parcel during handling

which definition from Mazda's dictionary applies here I wonder?:rolleyes1
"Ripped apart by scrapping addicts desperate for stash"
"ripped apart by some toerag who thinks there might be money inside" or
"accidentally completely destroyed when it got in the way during a sorting office water fight";)
