A Jar of Whimsy - interest?

[randon82104]

i would be interested in doing sign ups november and due early jan. i really want to do this one since i came up with the idea but i cant do another on due before xmas. too much on my plate with others. trish

 

[randon82104]

when i first was posting about what to put in the jars it was for just about anything that is fun. anything that would catch someones fancy to use on their books, so any of your ideas in 4 would be good to me. as far as rules, this one really is an on your honor i would think. if you would like to get than it is ok. trish

Rebecca, with you being a mininsters wife and I work at a Christian school so I understand how hectic things get for you! I think the date should be at your convience since your hostessing. I know, no help at all!
But I just thought of the after Christmas clearence sales? So maybe Jan?

Are we supposed to let you know if we are still interested? If so, yes.

I bumped it up in case anyone had questions or want to know what we were talking about. By the way your pm box is full again. I tried to respond to you.

So, does everything have to be in it's new and original package? Like the fibers will be a cut from my hank, but I'll put then in a little baggie. But what about stickers? Can I make a "sampler" page of several sets put together? Would there be interest in that? I have a HUGE tube of little gems, so a little baggie full would be OK?

And are we stuffing a quart size baggie? or Gallon?

 

[rlovew]

No- things do not have to be new in packaging- if you want to cut things down to fit that is fine- buy one thing of brads and spread them out beween all the baggies for that group. This is supposed to be a bag of inpiration for the character- little things (or bigger things) to put on pages with the characters- little things you could add to a photo mat or journal box to finish off the page. I would say you need at least 8 inches of a fiber or ribbon so it can be used on a mat. We are stuffing a snack size bag- groups will be up to 5 in number- so each person will fill 5 snack size bags per group and get 5 back. While not all bags need to be identical make them worth the same amount- one should not be just ribbon and fibers and another only brads- spread the items out between the bags.

This sounds like something I can do. I have so much odds and ends that even after doing the surprise swap, I will still have too much.

It is the list I will start with but this isn't a hard swap so I don't mind adding groups if people want something else.

I like the Princess & Villians groups. I think the small snack bag for everyone would be perfect. Are you talking about thpse half size bags? Especially if some of us are going to do two or more groups. That way none of us go broke in the process
When did you say sign ups were again? Thanks.

Yes the small snack size bags- smaller than a sandwich bag. Sign-ups are Tuesday.

[Michi Belle]

Perfect! I will be signing up for sure...

 

[catinthehat35]

This totally sounds like a fun swap. I definately want to participate. Do you think you will open the swap signups early or late in the day? Just want to be sure I don't forget. I want to sign up for all the groups!

 

[rlovew]

I will open it early and if a group fills up then I will put in a second one for that category.
