Embellishment Swap- Some Mailed Back

[MazdaUK]

MT, I'm going to get $$ on Friday so if you know by then how much I owe for they eyelets I can get that too

 

[chiefdragon]

I can not believe it....I was able to get everything bagged up last night and am ready to send. I think it might be the easiest swap I have very done.

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm bagged and will mail next Friday

 

[tyniknate]

I have everything but fibers and buttons. Should have them by next week to mail.

 

[MissDisney04]

just a couple questions

how many or what kind of *blingy* things?

can the metal stuff be a mix of items instead of each bag being the same?

and can all the bags be different, or do we have to send everyone the same thing for the group theme?

trying again, *** i dont wanna mess up

First of all- you can not mess up!
These are items I can come up with myself, but really I would think everyone was thinking sparkly.
Some examples might be: Gems, Skittles, glitter items, shiney items, decorative brads/ eyelets

Really anything that put some thought into will be great- don't worry about messing up- we only beat you with a wet noodle the first time!

 

[MissDisney04]

awesome! thanks so much

For the flower group, are we still splitting a whole bottle since there's only a couple of us? The bottle I have has 175 flowers in it. How many do I send, what's in the guide or the whole bottle split between us?

 

[MissDisney04]

my vote is to break it into fourths, *** that way we all get a variety

but i am really good no matter how it is done....

 

[tyniknate]

Works for me. I just didn't want to send the 20 small flowers or 10 medium flowers only like in the instructions if everyone was splitting a whole bottle. I guess a whole bottle it is then.

 

[MissDisney04]

actually that was my concern too, my husband came up with my solution lol

 

[MissDisney04]

i just want to make sure its ok that i am doing this:

since i am in every group, i am precombining and overlapping groups into one bag

example:
catinthehat35 is in 3 groups with me:
Group A (ribbon)
Group D2 (Brads- Round)
Group L2 (Anything Goes)

so instead of 3 separate bags (meaning more plastic and bulk) i added all 3 to one group with a label attached that says: To: Catinthehat35 From MissDisney

is that ok, or do i need to have bags for each item, then bag the group together, just to have Mickey Teacher seperate and re-distribite the bags?

either way i am fine, but i would prefer to save the plastic if possible

ETA:
within the bag, the metal, paper or fiber things are seperated by bags, but not broken down, if that makes sense

Each hostess is different, but in my swaps I prefer you to NOT combine them.
I sort each group and use a packing list to pull from the groups to put in the boxes/envelopes for each swapper. If you presort by swapper it makes it harder for me to be sure that each group had the right number of baggies. MickeyTeacher will tell you what she prefers. It may be different for each swap she hostess, so you should always ask.


I am bagged/labeled and ready to mail. I'll post here again when they are in the system.

I'm ok with combining the groups for this swap because I'm home for the summer and I will have time to sort them.

so i should redo them? its not a problem, i just wanted to simplify the waste

Nope. MickeyTeacher said you were fine the way you were.

Will you be joining other swaps? We love new blood.

 

[MissDisney04]

i definitely will, i just need to find some i can do/will apply to me

i love elements swaps, so i will look for one for sure (i neeeeds Disneyland elements, i have 4 trips either not scrapped or partially scrapped, and elements always get me inspired to work on them lol)

thanks for clarifying for me, both of you

this is the container of Primas i bought

well actually, its like that one, the same flwoers, but instead of giant ones, its the 1-2 inch package (60 pieces)

I bought a green (pictured) and an orange, and i am mixing them up (everyone is getting 15)

 

[MazdaUK]

I am postal Things generally take about a week, but the last thing I send (ATC swap) took over 2 weeks so don't hold you're breath

 

[tyniknate]

Can someone PM me the address to send these? Wanna go postal but don't have the addy to send them to. Maybe my trigger finger deleted it at some point.
