Embellishment Swap Questions- Group Set up listed in post 1

[Mickeyteacher]

It's about that time to start thinking about the Jan. 2010 embellishment swap. We have a few different options out there.

Option 1: We could set up the swap in the traditional way. Like this:
Group A:
Ribbon
1 yd per person
Groups could include: Ribbon, Fiber, Brads, Eyelets, Prima Flowers, Anything Metal, Anything Goes, Bling, plus anything else we dream up...


Options 2: We could set it up this way:
Group A: Red (everyone picks an embellishment and sends in a specific color)
Groups could include: Red, Blue, Yellow, pink, purple, brown, orange, green, black, white, plus anything else we could dream up....

What do you guys think? Let me know. I would like to so sign ups starting Jan. 2nd with a due date of Feb. 17th.

Does this mean you are going to play?

Option 2 sounds like Jars of Whimsey, sort of, from this past year?

Im a traditionalist and first choice would be Option 1 but will probably play either way.

Just making sure I understand

Option 2 would look like this?

Group Red
1. PN96 -- brads
2. Mickeyteacher -- ribbon
3. hopemax -- flowers
4. AZRita -- buttons


I haven't participated in this swap before. Do you have a list of the standards? How many flowers, brads, etc?

Yes, I know but the Jar of Whimsey was character related. This is just colors.

I was think one or the other because we do have JOW later in the year. I'm willing to host both, if we have enough interest.

Either suits me

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I do think I will play this year... That's the only way I can keep track of you!!!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

Keep track of me????? I'm not sure why?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Because work is keeping you away! LOL

Hopefully things are a little less crazy now... I just need to get DH to get me a blackberry, so I can check in during the day.

I have his number do you want me to put a bug in his ear?

Too funny... I think my mom is going to get me one this week. She will have to add it to her plan because I'm not able to get a new phone on my plan until May. So, I just might have to keep up with two phones for a few months.
We shall see...

I might be able to play. This sounds fun, as I've never done this swap before. Either option would be fine.
