Magic Kingdom Swaps - SIGNUPS MONDAY 1/10/10 9AM

[tyniknate]

After several months off the boards I'm looking ahead to my commitment to the Magic Kingdom swap scheduled for January. I'm chomping at the bit to get back into swapping on a limited basis for a little while. Is everyone still interrested in doing the magic kingdom swap late in January with a due date in early April? Feburary with a due date of late April? Elements only? Or do you wanna do letters too? Sooooo many questions. Wow - I can't believe how much I've missed talking to and swapping with you gals!

Hey Danielle - Hope all is well with Dad!! You are actually scheduled for the MK swap in January. I think the Character one is on the calendar for April or May??

[tyniknate]

DUHHHHH.....I knew that. I'll go change the title now. (I guess it's holiday burnout!) ;)

Anyway, anyone interrested in the Magic Kingdom swap? This is one of my favorites! Sooo many rides and themes to work with. Do you want to do small sets (2 mats & 2 elements) for each category? I find it's easier to put pages together when you have extra pieces to work with. Anyone want to do the 2" letters? I'm up for whatever anyone wants to do! Please let me know if you have any ideas.

My dad is doing well. He is having problems with his incision. It's not closing and they are afraid of infection. This is the third set of stitches they've put in and removed. They tell us it's not uncommon with stitches after brain surgery as the scalp is not as pliable as skin on other areas of the body. Otherwise he is back on his feet and feeling good. Thanks for asking!

Signups will be Monday, January 10th at 9:00 a.m.

Due Date: April 1st, 2011. This is when I need to receive your package. The mail by date is March 25 to make sure the package arrives to me on time.

Required check-ins will be:
January 31
February 21

March 25 (mail by date)
If we find that we need more time to complete this swap just let me know and we can adjust the dates.

I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible. We all have families and emergencies sometimes happen. We understand if you cannot complete - just let us know so we can make proper arrangements.

After sign-ups, please pm me your name, DIS name, mailing address, email address and phone number when you sign up (I will only use these in an emergency).

The requirement for Group A through Group P will be to make a mini page kit
(2 photo mats and 2 elements) from the list below.

Groups AA through YY are single elements to be chosen from the list below. (This has changed as I didn't want to infringe on the letter swaps happening in February). YOU MAY STILL USE THE 4" LETTER AS YOUR ELEMENT OF CHOICE IF YOU WANT.

Element list:
Title = standard 8x2 topper (other sizes are okay), welded and shadowed letters, letters on squares, circles,mini tags or other shapes, a large title tag, title on a box, borders, photo mat, altered CD. Be creative - we love new things!
1 paper piecing (not a single layer diecut)
2 photomats for a 4x6 photo, 2 layers, smallest layer 4 ¼ x 6 ¼, embellished
2 journal boxes, total of 3 layers, minimum writing space 3x3, embellished
2 tags (or 1 large tag—greater than 2x3), 2 layers, something in the hole and embellished
1 file folder or matchbook (2 if mini) - -embellished
2 slide mounts -- embellished
Altered CD
3 altered paper clips
1 shaker box

You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 border and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc for both of the groups.

******Please let me know if you have an idea not listed! We are open to new things.

Suggestions for embellishments include:
Die cuts, stickers, stickles, flock, ink, chalk, brads, charms, flowers, eyelets, ribbon/fiber, sewing, tearing, embossing, stamping, clipart, additional layers of paper beyond double mats (if it would look weird trying to fit in another embellishment, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).

Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS (the bag MUST close) with your DISname, name and group letter. Do not address your items to a particular swapper. (That makes it harder for me to sort!) Your label should look like this

Tyniknate
Danielle Seidel
Group A

Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) bag, and label with the same. Please use the gallon bag (or larger) -- your items may fit in a smaller bag, but the items you receive back might not. Please include a return address label -- either a USPS priority mail label that you have addressed, or the little ones you would put on envelope. (This cuts down on errors.)

Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after March 14th [note this is before the mail by date]. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9”x6”x2”) - $4.95, Medium/Standard box – $10.70, Large - $14.50. I won’t require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER March 5. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70. And I am not responsible to for postal errors. Also, please include a label (can be the priority label completed with your info or a small address label) for me to use to return your items to you.

DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.

[PrincessNancy96]

Danielle,

I will be your back up hostess on this.... This looks good. I would keep it simple. No more than 2 groups for each set. No reason for it to get too big when we have plenty of room to do smaller avenues of this later. (especially characters, 2" letters of the lands/rides and stuff are being done at a later date ~ these are actually being done in February so please keep them out of this swap; we can refer whomever is interested to the swap specifically for them. No pages either; as we have those swaps coming up shortly too. Elements only is perfect; or of course whatever mini-kit you come up with.).

This swap is on the books to open sign ups on Jan.10th. The due date is 3/31. You could move the sign up date later in January but the month of February is booked with numerous swaps and I would hate for you or someone else to become overwhelmed.


I went in your thread and just changed the letters to back to backs.. no need for you to wonder where letter C went.... LOL

[tyniknate]

Nan- Thanks for the backup. I appreciate the help since I had to back out of the last swap. I just want everyone to know that I am in a good place and I am confident that I can return to the boards. I wouldn't return unless I was sure I was able to follow through on this as it's a big committment for everyone. I certainly do appreciate all of your help and I'm sure I will have tons of questions I will be looking to you for help on answers to. The 10th will be find for signups. I will keep the due date as is unless someone runs into trouble with time.

Here's what I was thinking - I want to get rid of the MICKEY and MINNIE 2" letters altogether. They belong in the character swap to come later on. The rest of the groups seem pretty set to me. I'll certainly make any changes/additions if anyone has suggestions. I love to see new ideas.

When I was going back through last year's Magic Kingdom swap I saw a lot of names we haven't seen on the boards for months. Where has everyone gone? :confused3

Also, February calendar looks packed. Could we combine the two 2" letter swaps? Then we would only have one set of check in dates to keep up with? I think they're both being hosted by the same person. I find it's easier to be in a bigger swap with one set of deadlines than to be in several swaps and try to keep up with all the dates. Maybe it's not the same for others, just a thought.

[PrincessNancy96]

Actually, we can not combine the 2" letter groups.. 1. they are hosted by 2 different people.. 2. when we combine those 2" letter groups the numbers become outrageous for someone to handle. (one swap had over 56 groups last year with 2" letters). This is why we decided to break them down into smaller swaps.

Mycutepatooties is going specifically with the park/icons... mainly from what I remember in conversations: park names; icons specific to that park.

LM3K's going with the ride specific names... She can't even go with all the rides or she will be overwhelmed. If there is a lot of interest in the ride specific names we are going to have to break that down into 2-3 swaps spread throughout the year.

While the 2" letters are small and easy to work with.. because they are small people tend to take more groups, they fill and more groups open.. it becomes a larger number than anticipated.

We are trying to give everyone a lot of stuff to choose from at different times throughout the year so that no one gets burnt out. Things come and go on the boards and it won't be much longer til 2" letters or 4" letters are not wanting to be done..

Not trying to be nasty; just wanted you to know why we separated things out like we did...

[hffmnheidi]

I definitely am interested in mini kits for this swap because like was already said...mini kits make it easier to do full pages.

[tyniknate]

Sorry - Didn't realize. Was just brainstorming outloud - guess I should stop doing that :rotfl::rotfl: I didn't realize that swap got so big - I don't think I was in on that one. Now the reasoning makes perfect sense. Guess I'll have to pay a little closer attention and check it out when signups roll around.

[PrincessNancy96]

NO! NO!! Please think out LOUD! That is the only way everyone is on the same wave length.. I'm always willing to answer question as to why things are done a certain way if someone asks the question!!! It all seems like it would be easy.. then when you go to sorting... oh my goodness..

I know the AK swap I hosted whew! I was a stressed person.. so stressed.. when I started sorting into groups I locked the bedroom door when I was in there; when I left.. I was so afraid of losing a baggie of those 2" letters... I was never so glad to get those out of my house! LOL

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'd love to see mini kits especially for the lands!!!

Hi I haven't swapped in a long time - used up most of my supply and finally have a cricut - and have a trip planned for Mid/Late Aug so I am thinking of starting small but was wondering if you take out M/M what about adding the Pooh Characters? for those of us who dine at Crystal Palace we could use them on those pages. Thanks Michelle

[PrincessNancy96]

If you check out the 2011 swap calendar, we are having a character swap that we will have pooh characters.

I'm not sure if the hostess intends to have characters at all in this swap and instead will focus on the MK lands/rides/dining/events

[bigsis1970]

Oh thanks I didn't see that one - oops must have read right over it.. :)

[PrincessNancy96]

Not an issue at all.

[tyniknate]

Welcome back! I'm not going to have characters included in this swap, but definitely will have them all when i hostess the character one later in the year. Please join us in the fun of this one, too!

[wdwmickey]

And I'll have the character 2" words & 4" altered letters in September :)

I'm looking forward to making a few groups of mini-kits in this swap!

[bigsis1970]

Welcome back! I'm not going to have characters included in this swap, but definitely will have them all when i hostess the character one later in the year. Please join us in the fun of this one, too!


Thank you if this was for me.. I do plan on joining this one anyhow - sounds like lots of fun!

[mommy2mrb]

I will probably do some groups too, like the mini kits too, but whatever is decided will be fine with me!

[Disney_rider]

Ohhh of course Im in!!! ;):thumbsup2

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Looking forward to this swap -- I even have a group done! (I was working on a design for the ABC Swap that turned out to be too time consuming, but the 5 I have done will work great here!)

My vote for sign-ups is the earlier the better (end of January) but I don't care when they are due!

[JJ&JHsmom]

I would be interested in mini kits also.

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

I will be in on this one. got it in my calendar.

[catinthehat35]

I am interested in this swap. I love the mini pages kits.

[tyniknate]

Is everyone ok with signups a week from today, January 10th? That's when I had originally planned. Due date on April 1st (mail by March 25th). I can move it to a later date, but this is when it is on the calendar for.

[mommy2mrb]

I thought about this swap a bit more and decided to sit this one out, am really wanting to do scrapping and get my 2009 album done.

If you want I could be an angel instead!

[tyniknate]

Sorry you won't be joining us mommy2mrb. Wish you would reconsider, but completely understand. Will put you down as an angel.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

:flower3: I'm working in our preschool on the 10th. Would someone be willing to be my sign-up buddy? Thanks!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

:flower3: I'm working in our preschool on the 10th. Would someone be willing to be my sign-up buddy? Thanks!

I can help you out!!! PM me your choices!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hey Danielle - saw you changes the 4" letter groups to single element groups. What if you broke them down (like Susan did for the Holiday swap)? Like...one group being Pirate and 5 or 6 people can sign up for a different element each. Then, Princess for another group and so on. You may not need all the ones you have listed, but maybe the more popular?? Probably all the main characters and the foody groups and not-normally-seen ones?? Anyway, just a suggestion!! :thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

That's a great idea. Any ones in particular you wanna see this done with?

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I like Pirate and Princess...the more popular rides (Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Tea party, Haunted Mansion, Dumbo, etc.)...the lands for sure...the Fab 5...the food groups. You could really do as many or as little groups as you want...just those I listed are like 19...so you would have to weed out or use your judgement. Like I said, just a suggestion. It's easy for the swapper to make 6 tags or 8 mat and boxes or whatever and get back 6 or 8 (or however many) elements for that subject. With only one element for each, you have to make things later. This way, everyone participates together to get back a sort-of mini kit. Susan just had everyone list thier element choices so that everyone didn't make the same.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I can help you out!!! PM me your choices!!

Erin -- THANK YOU! I already started making my list last night with a 1st and 2nd choice. I will mull it over for a few days and then PM to you this weekend. I will make it easy for you just to do a cut-and-paste.

Thanks again!!!!

[JJ&JHsmom]

After looking over the groups, there are at least 5 that I would like to join if possible. Since I have only participated in one swap, would anyone have a problem if I signed up for 5? I am willing to do less, but I would like to know ahead of time how many I should sign up for. Thanks.

Cassey

[Disney_rider]

I think Im gonna limit myself to the categories that can go for DL as well which isn't much of a limit LOL
I will be at the dentist at 10am AZ time will I be ok with sign-ups or will I need to bribe a sign-up buddy???:rolleyes1:hug:

[tyniknate]

AR - if you know what you want you can PM them to me and I'll try to work it in as signups start. Or, you can take your chances until after your appointment. Either way is fine with me.

JJ&JHMom - I'm ok with you signing up for additional groups. If you see you are running into trouble - just ask us for help. Welcome to the fun!

To everyone - I will be making changes to the groups today. I loved Erins idea of single elements for a category. Changes coming soon!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Danielle - I can vouch for JJ&JH'smom...she angelled for me - signed up last week, pm'd me pix of her stuff and is already postal!!!! Glad to have her around...and her pieces are great!!!

[wdwmickey]

Danielle--I'm going to stick with my yearly goal and only sign up for a new swap if I'm swap free or nearly finished with a swap. I'm still finishing my last 2 groups for the holiday swap and I have almost 30 groups for the surprise swap--so I am NOT swap free at the moment ;)

I'd love to be an angel for you :)

[mycutiepatooties]

I'm in for some groups, but I can't take on too much right now. Looks like a fun swap!

[tyniknate]

WDW Mickey - Sorry you won't be joining us but I will certainly put you down as an angel (unless you change your mind and join the fun ;))

:banana::banana: mycutiepatooties:banana::banana: thanks for joining us!

[Princess Jayne]

ooh i was going to be good and not sign up for any more for a while but this swap sounds so good!


I think Im gonna limit myself to the categories that can go for DL as well which isn't much of a limit LOL
I will be at the dentist at 10am AZ time will I be ok with sign-ups or will I need to bribe a sign-up buddy???:rolleyes1:hug:

Bit random but I'm at the dentist that day too! I hate going to the dentist!

[tyniknate]

PrincessJayne - Please say you will join us. ::yes:: Being good is overrated! ;)

[Ohana 4]

I wanted to take a small break between the holiday one and my next swap too, but this one looks good! I'll try to limit the number of groups I take. I am working that day, so I'll probably have to take the chance of whatever is up when I get home at 7:30pm Central. :thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

Ohana4 - Glad you will be joining us. :yay::yay::yay: There's lots of choices so the selection should still be good even if you wait until after work. Or.....You can always ask for a sign-up buddy if there are groups you really want to get. Just ask- there's always someone willing to help - I've signed up that way many times.

[JJ&JHsmom]

Danielle - I can vouch for JJ&JH'smom...she angelled for me - signed up last week, pm'd me pix of her stuff and is already postal!!!! Glad to have her around...and her pieces are great!!!

Thanks for vouching for me. I am really excited for this swap!!! I can't wait to get started.

[dacky041208]

I told myself I was going to take a break from swapping.....but Magic Kingdom is my favorite park to swap.

I think I am becoming a swapping addict. :hyper:


You will most likely see me in a few groups...:woohoo:

[Princess Jayne]

PrincessJayne - Please say you will join us. ::yes:: Being good is overrated! ;)


Very overrated! After the fiasco of the ABC swap and my box getting lost, I'm a bit nervous about joining any more *** I really held that one up! But Holiday mail is out of the way now so hopefully it will all be ok..

[tyniknate]

Dacky - Looking forward to having you join us. Magic Kingdom swap is always great - there's some awesome creativity out there and it makes putting pages together so easy. It's always my favorite box to open. Join away! :woohoo: Didn't realize you lived so close - I'm in the Susquehanna Valley near Danville - if you know where that is. I love seeing fellow PA gals on here. I think that makes 3 of us active, and AlexWyattMommy used to be from PA.

PrincessJayne - No worries about your packages - we all know where they are coming from and that it just takes some extra time (especially during the holidays). Please don't ever worry about joining a swap because of that reason. We love having you join us! :flower3:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Danielle - there's a fourth...PirateTink (Michelle) is right near me!!!

[tyniknate]

Erin - that's awesome. Sounds like we should plan a get-together for the spring. We could find somewhere in between where all of us live. I'd love to actually meet some of my dis friends.

[mommy2mrb]

I used to be a PA girl --- we lived in Shawnee on the Delaware 1995-1997, jim built the Great Bear country club there.

okay, I keep looking at the groups, will look again on Monday, MAYBE I will join a couple groups....no promises, but MAYBE

[tyniknate]

Mommy2mrb - :cheer2: :cheer2: Please don't make me beg you to join us. You know you wanna! :cheer2::cheer2:

How cool that so many of us are PA girls (past and present). I knew there was a reason why I liked you all so much! ;)

(No offense to our non-PA residents - you rock too!) :laughing::laughing:

This is the point in the conversation where my husband would tell me to shut up before I offend anyone else. He usually says "You know, not everyone finds you funny." :confused3

[mommy2mrb]

oh come on beg :lmao: I am leaning towards doing it, even though I know I should be scrapping more, its hard to resist since our trip is so close

[tyniknate]

Begging is beginning :worship::worship::worship:.....I can even shift the due date a little if you need me to :flower3:. And just think how easy it will be to put that book together since you will already have so much of the work done :wizard:.

[mommy2mrb]

keep it coming :worship: I wouldn't need the date changed, thanks for the offer though, I am looking over the groups to decided which I really NEED,

on the one element groups, I assume we don't want duplicates on the elements right?

[tyniknate]

There :worship:are:worship: sooooo :worship:many :worship:that :worship:you :worship:NEED:worship:.

We will try not to duplicate elements but if someone has a fantastic idea who am I to stop the creativity? I try to go with the flow.

PS DID I MENTION......:worship::worship::worship::worship:

[mommy2mrb]

okay, will keep looking them over, I will keep you in suspense though if I'm joining or not until Monday:rotfl2:

[tyniknate]

OK - I'll wait until Monday then popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::
You do realize there is a 10 group minimum for this swap? :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: JUST KIDDING.

[mommy2mrb]

:rotfl2: I'm up to 11 just saying though - going through to see if I have stuff on hand, don't want to fall of the bandwagon for my swap stuff

??? for group LL fantasyland would the castle considered part of it or not?

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

We should try to meet up somewhere!!!

Lisa - the single element groups fly!!!!! So, you can handle (and probably have supplies on hand for) many!!!! :rolleyes1 I'm just sayin'!!!! Remember...I'm on the BanWagon...and need a sponsor...never said I could BE a sponsor!!! :rotfl2:

I think in the single element groups the same is still different...know what I mean?? Who would really make the exact same thing?

[tyniknate]

Lisa - Only 11? :lmao: The castle would be fine with fantasyland.

I'm sure glad Erin thought of the single elements groups. They really do fly!

[wdwmickey]

I'm lovin' the single elements groups, I night have to join for a few of those ;)

[mommy2mrb]

thanks, yes 11! so that will just make the "limit":lmao:
so I figured out my choices, have everything on hand so no shopping :thumbsup2, now just have to make the final decision....to join or not...popcorn::

[tyniknate]

Sounds like the decision has already been made ;) No pressure :rolleyes1

WDWMICKEY - We sure would be happy to have you join us. :yay:

[mommy2mrb]

still in" negotiations", the deciding factor will be how much I get scrapped between now and Sunday night!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Eh hem......I know of a little crop happening this Friday night...perfect opportunity to get some things done!!!

Cheryl - you kinda have to join...because I need what you make!!! :rotfl2:

[wdwmickey]

Erin--I NEED what you make too ;) I shopped my stuff and I can do this crop without shopping (except maybe a couple embellishments) so if I get going on the surprise swap I should be almost swap free by Monday :)

[mommy2mrb]

Eh hem......I know of a little crop happening this Friday night...perfect opportunity to get some things done!!!

Cheryl - you kinda have to join...because I need what you make!!! :rotfl2:

Cheryl - I'll join if you do :rolleyes1.... love you stuff too!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yeah...you're both joining!! It's FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[disney-akj]

Have to think about this as well. I promised myself I would limit my swapping to get some layouts done, but the plan is DL this summer. So I could think about some of the same attractions? Ummmmmmmm

[wdwmickey]

Alright, I'm in :)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

:woohoo:

disney-akj - We would love to have you join us. :flower3: This is shaping up to be a good one with a really creative cast of characters. Please don't miss out on all the fun - you will regret it later. :headache:

[mommy2mrb]

Okay since Cheryl joined I am too :lmao: plus after the week I'm having with Megan sick and blue, the fun will help pick me up too!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

:hug: Can you give this to Megan for me please? And, I think I forgot to tell you that her stuuf for the surprise swap is great!! Please also pass that on! But, most importantly...the hug!!

[mommy2mrb]

thanks Erin, we will take all the hugs we can get! I will tell her you like the set too!

[disney-akj]

Quick Question about the element groups. For the adventureland, etc. Can you make any element from any ride or activity in that land?

[tyniknate]

For the lands it should be something generic having to do with the specific land. Fantasyland would be more of a whimsical fantasy type elements, adventureland makes me think of jungles or deserts. These should be for the lands, not ride specific. Am I explaining myself? I feel like I'm rambling. :confused3

[wdwmickey]

Makes perfect sense to me :)

[hffmnheidi]

I would like a sign-up buddy for this swap since I will be at work during sign-ups.

[tyniknate]

Oops

[tyniknate]

If no one offers to help, PM me your 1st and 2nd choices and I will work them in.

[disney-akj]

Makes sense- I just wanted to double check before I decided on groups in case I join. It will depend on my productivity tonight because I have 3 other swaps I need to finish up : )

[tyniknate]

OK Ladies, I will be off the boards for the weekend, but I will be back bright and early Monday morning for the sign-ups. Have a great weekend!

Danielle

[JJ&JHsmom]

I would like a sign-up buddy for this swap since I will be at work during sign-ups.

Hey! I'm proving my DH he's a fool for telling me I couldn't stop swapping.. He's gonna pay dearly for doubting me!!!

I'm only a hostess mentor... Danielle knows I'm here for her.... I will win this bet with DH!!!!
