I would like to have another general year round swap. I used all the items from the ones I had done in the past on my calendars for Christmas this year and would love to have more stuff for next year (they went over so well that I think I will do them again). I can host this or someone else could I would just want it do maybe over the summer so i don't have to cram my calander making into the end of the year.

Getting back into the game of life with Christmas over. So Buffy, I have two swaps in the list I am going to do and no clue when might be good to do them.

Disney quotes - for which I am thinking to keep very simple - 2 quotes per person and groups of maybe 8? Those are fairly easy to make I'd say so not a huge burden and not a lot of cost for us BAN peeps!

Eat around the world - Hopemax had said she was waiting till moving and I wanted to wait for her but I think now shse's not moving yet if I read it right?

So when, oh swap goddess do you see in the calendar that these might work best? I'm totally open.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

when ever you want. The calendar is yours for the taking. Talk to Hope first though because right now the move is on hold until DH's work decides what to do or he finds a new job.

ETA: that is Hope's DH, not mine, just clarifying for my blonde sister out there. LOL Love ya Nancy!~

 

[hopemax]

It's the quote one that I'm interested in, not the eat around the world one. DH is hoping to know more about what will happen in the next couple of weeks; there has already been some shuffling around. I think I'd be okay for doing it May/June ish. The quotes should be easy to put together too.

Ok Buffy - I mixed them up but this is good!

How about a mid-may signup for quotes? What is normal turnaround?

THen how is march for eat around the world? Mid march/late march - no matter to me!

Thanks

the quotes shouldn't take too long since they will mostly be printed via the computer. So maybe 3-4 weeks?

Eat around the world, is that going to be page kits or 2 or 3 elements? I would say 4-6 weeks for that depending on how you do it, kits or elements.

do you want sign-ups on a week day or weekend?

I need this to.

I can't wait to use my year round swap stuff.

About 6 more of those and I can get DS boks done.

Timing sounds good on the quotes - and I agree on not too long for those.

2 elements I think for eat around the world - I'm not a big fan of making page kits.

Friday signups please if you could.

Thanks- happy new year!

Julie,

I would suggest getting involved in some of the swaps on the board- KAtdisney has one going on right now for characters- you can do page kits or elements. In general most of us are a little wary of joining swaps from brand new members as we have had a few people that never returned sweaps and some of them were quite expensive. While you can suggest a swap and it can be put on the calendar- many people would be more willing to sign up if they had seen you check in and turn in swaps timely before trusting you with their time and money in being a swap hostess since you are new.

fill faster than I can get a spot in them. I am disappointed that the board is this way. It discourages new people from coming in. I swap regularly on other boards without a problem. I can barely get in if I can in the elements swap.Do you just have enough swappers that you don't need new ones? I am an avid swapper and this board is intimidating.
Thanks

Julie,

there are alot of open spots in the Character Element /page kit swap. You are more than welcome to join in. All you have to do to join any swap is just sign up. We don't discourage anyone from joining and we welcome everyone

Hi Julie!
We always need new swappers! That's how we grow and learn. I'm sorry you feel intimidated, that's why I started the calendar, so people can get an idea of what they want to do and when the sign ups will be.
I think the swaps are filling fast right now because we are coming off a swapping hiatus and the girls (and guys) are chomping at the bit to get swapping again. It's an addiction! LOL

there are spaces open here for the character element swap:
http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1672812

and here for the character page kits:
http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1672823

just read through the thread backwards, that will give you an idea of when the last time was that the hostess updated and then go from there. I tend to open 2 pages 1 of the list and 1 of the last page, that way I don't have to keep bouncing back and forth.
Kat was really good at highlighting the spots still needed in blue. And there are only 2 people as of right now that have requested spots since her last update.
I'm sure Kat can find a spot for you somewhere! And if you think you would miss a sign up due to a scheduling conflict send a PM to the Host, they might be able to reserve a spot for you if there is something specific that you really want to do!

I hope you stick around and give us a whirl, everyone is here is simply wonderful!

Hi Julie! There are plenty of spots in the character swaps - I sometimes miss the starts because of time difference (such as opening while I'm asleep or at work ). Go for the character swap if there will be stuff you can use - the groups are fairly small and manageable, which is always nice for a first time (even if you are experienced elsewhere).

Then I'd suggest, as B&MB said above, looking at the calendar for sign-up dates and PM-ing the hostess and ask her to reserve you a spot or two. You can always go back in once they're open and see if there's something else available, or ask to swap one group for another. Hostesses have done this for me, especially if I was going to be on holiday during sign-ups.

New blood always welcome here (mwahh-haha!), especially as so many of us are supposedly being good and limiting our swaps this year
