2007 Swap Calendar

Confuzzled...... I need to think about this one.......

Confuzzled......is that a technical term?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Susie, like your ideas but we are getting into the holidays so we usually go pretty light on the swaps starting in Oct. I'm all for swapping over the holidays so I'm not trying to blow you off but ABC would be huge. We could probably squeeze in Year round though, when do you think you would like to do it?

Kat would have the Characters covered in her Character swap which would be up probably in Jan if that is good for her.

I'm sure there would be lots of interest in a rolodex swap the first of the year too.

ABC parks, we could do too. Would you want to do that at once or in stages?
13 people per group, 2 letters each?

yep, it's in my Scrappers dictionary! LOL

It's a compound word, a mix of confused and fuzzy.

I love it! It says it all!

So is this 'scrappers dictionary' altered, modge podged, embellished and double matted?

We're not trying to overload you. There are just lots of possibilities. The holiday recipe swap could be done throughout the year as a holiday or 2 is approaching.

Maybe this one would be Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah (sp), and New Years. The next could be Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter, etc.

I am interested in hosting a year round swap like the one I saw listed from a previous year in the same type groups and have them be topper plus two elements.This is what I had in mind for setting up groups for a year round swap:
Spring
- General Spring
- St. Patrick's Day
- Easter
- Mother's Day
- April Showers Bring May Flowers

Summer
- General Summer
- Father's Day
- Fourth of July
- Vacation
- General birthday


Fall
- General Fall
- Labor Day
- Back to School
- Halloween
- Thanksgiving

Winter
- General Winter
- Christmas Eve
- Christmas
- New Year
- Valentines Day

If you had a spot in each group, it would get you an album done.

Multiple groups could be added. It would be a topper pllus one or two elements....



I am open to whenever.....sooner the beter once this table is cleared off this week.

This would sort of be like the non-Disney holiday swap that I'm hosting in September. Last year, we did 11 or 12 groups (it was huge), and everyone picked a various holiday within the group (not separated by season, though). Then we had a couple of groups that were Christmas only. ETA: We could add "general season (pick a season)" in as a choice--I really like that one!!

 

[missesdisney]

so do you have any good words to add?

How about beautius? It's beautiful on steroids.

Sorry. Didn't mean tostep on any toes.....didn't realize what that one would be like.

Can we put mine on for maybe after the first of the year for the people that miss the one SIOH is going to host and when people get caught up fromthe holidays?

ABC parks in parts so people aren't overwhelemed. I know it saves on postage but if we did it all at one time people would have 26 times 4 things to if they signed up for both ...... 104 groups.....wowzeer.

2 groups of 13 would be great. Items would need to be park specific.

Maybe we could do one every other month and peoplecould have about 6 weeks to work on them and we would get them done in about 8 months.

Does that make sense.

It can start now or we can wait. I know I missed out on MGM. Maybe we can start that one first.

This is SIOH's DH posting for her. "Susie, no! You so didn't step on my toes!! I just thought your idea was great!! I am so behind in my scrapping that having a year's worth of stuff would be wonderful! Buffy, why don't we add in Susie's idea in August, like you were thinking about, and call it the non-Disney holiday swap, or the year-round swap or whatever. Then, it can be due whenever. I had it and the AK Newbie Swap to host in September, and we're going to be gone then, too. This would spread out the September swaps, and it might let people get started early!! Susie, can I go ahead and put my name in to be in this one??? LOL!!"

 

[123SA]

I really like Susie's ideas. I would be interested in the ABC groups if they were spread out.

About the character/Pixar swap, I have 3 kids, we do lots of character meals and sometimes our main goal of a park day is meeting the characters. So I do lots and lots of character pages. I prefer the idea of separate character swaps because I can sign up for more groups if they are held at different times.

Seasonal swap: I'll sign up for a group in SIOH swap, but I can't sign up for every group. I like the idea of spreading it out over the months and ending up with all of the holidays and seasons.

Here is thought: Are our differences in opinions really the difference between new swappers and established swappers? I would imagine if you have been swapping here for a while, you wouldn't need as many spots in a character swap as I would like to have. I guess you may not even need a whole book of ABC on MGM etc.

Just let me know what groups you want to be in.

I think it would be great to be able to pull out a swap envie and have an entire year's worth of stuff right there at your fingertips.

I need a lot of stuff....the ABC stuff wouldn't have to all be used in the same book and no one owuld no the difference but I just thought it would lend itself to a lot of variety instead of the same popular ideas/characters.

Maybe for character swaps there could be a list of characters and peoplecould choose from the characters. There are some of them that are out all the time but you don't see them in swaps ..... like that Fowlfellow (sp) cat and the other one he is friends with......just an idea.

I am rady to get started on the year round one as soon as y'all are. Maybe start out with one group of each set and add on as there is interest.

 

[MazdaUK]

Just a heads up that I'll be away in less than 2 weeks FOR 2 weeks -i'll try to contact any hostesses opening while I'm away to hold me a space and any groups I'm in already I'll either get done before we go (starting to look less likely though ) or as soon as we get back - I have a couple of days at home before I go back to work and I have to wait for to dry before I iron it!

ETA I should be OK as long as none of the dates change as I'm back in time for the heritage recipe swap opening :

So, take your name out and put Susie's name in as host and switch the dates?
I'm looking at 8/27 - 10/1.

I would like to start signups the afternoon of August 23 and I can take PM request before that if I need to do so.....Our school starts on the 27th...I would probably close sign ups on that day but at least the numbers in each group are limited.

I will get it written up.

Thanks
