Disney SUPRISE II swap

[Mickster]

I cannot sign up for this one. It is due right as school is over. But, I would be willing to be an angel, if needed, of course.

 

[SusieStone]

wow. only 2 more spots left.

 

[happycampers]

You're kidding me right?

Nope. Not kidding. Worked through naps on Thurs. and Fri., late Thurs. night and didn't object when the kiddos asked to watch more TV than usual. We leave for Disney soon, and I didn't want to give the post office any more money for postage than necessary. My elements for the Newbie MK swap were done, and it was easier to make one trip to the PO anyway. Now, I get to rest and play with the family. We rode 8 miles on a local bike trail this morning (even DS5, such a trooper).

 

[MazdaUK]

WOW! You are fit! I'm rubbish on a cycle, I could walk the 8 miles (as long as it was in WDW )

I got an inspiration last night for one of my groups but its a secret :shh:

I think my daughter and I would like to do this swap. Unfortunately, I can't get ahold of her now. So maybe you can have her pretty in tink) as tentative and sign me up? I pretty sure she will want to do it.

 

[KatDisney]

Welcome aboard, I have you both down for the last 2 spots in group 9. We are now full ladies and I am closing the swap. Remember I will be out of town for the next week.

 

[knovak]

I'm done. I will be mailing them out either today or tomorrow~

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm nearly done - one group complete, one just needs its frills added Aiming to post Friday

Packing Instructions - use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label each bag with your name so we know who made each element

Update first - I have two of my four groups almost done - just need a run to Michael's to pick up a final embellishment for each (stinking things are not the size I thought).

Just so I'm sure about labeling the bags since I'm in 4 groups - there will be 6 bags per group with whatever the total pieces for the one element is for that group right? So I'll end up with 24 bags but what's the clearest way to label them for you? Put the swappers dis names on them? This is only my second swap and the first one was of course packaged differently

Thanks!

This is so much fun - I can't wait to see what comes back but I am having a ball making things. Plus just got myself a cricut which is amazing....

The easiest way is for you label each baggie for the group it is in, than put all those baggies into one bag for each group. So you will have four bigger bags to put in your package. Be sure to label the baggies with your DIS name so we know who made them.

What I found made it easy for me is to print address labels with my name and DIS name. Then I handwrite the swap topic and group name. That way I only have to do a little handwriting. I slap that sticker on the bag with the elements.

Then all the bags go into a big bag with an address label with my name, DIS name and address. When you do alot of groups, it saves time to have part preprinted. Anyway, that's how I do it...

Question: I am short one letter for my project. Ugghhh. Is it acceptable for one set to have completely different letters, but otherwise it is the same? I do have a backup plan in mind if it is not okay.

For this swap-Yes. It is a surprise, so not every piece has to be exactly the same.

For other swaps, you would have to check with the hostess. In mine, it would be okay. As long as the feel of them are the same, I would fret about one element having a slightly different font than the others. I would just ask that you mark that baggie somehow and I would either keep it myself or give that one back to you.

As only the hostess will see them all together as long as the colour/style works I don't think anyone will mind. I often end up with slightly different versions for each swapper - aminly because I'm so bad at calculating the supplies I need

I'm done and wrapped by the way, posting tomorrow

I agree. Not everyone will know.

I'm back, thank you Kat for adding me in. I have all of my ideas for my groups, now to find time to get them done before my kids get out of school. Their last day is Thursday and everyday next week one or more of them has something going on. So, today is my last full day of no kids.

Do we send our own too?

Is the hostess sorting for each of the recipients or are we? I'm good for any way and don't want to put any more work on the hostess (especially with 10 groups!)

Thanks!

I think for this one you send yours too. It's different for every hostess, and usually in the packing instructions.

Kat will swap everything out, so don't put names on the baggies, just your name/DIS name and group/swap name. Just make sure all your elements are in 1 bag for each person. If something is too big, like a border, and in a seperate wrap, attach it to the baggie with the rest of the elements for that person. Hope that helps

Four of my five groups are done and ready to bag. My last group is halfway done and should be completed Sunday or Monday - headed to DC for the weekend of sightseeing.

I expect to mail by midweek next week.

 

[MazdaUK]

Mine are on their way! Hope they make it safely
