Would anyone be interested in joining a sports swap? Sign ups early September and Due late October. Let me know if you are interested. I would be happy to host.

If I'm not overwhelmed with swaps and circle journals, sure!

I'd like to cover cheerleading, soccer, swimming, football, cross-country, track.

 

[Twigs]

I would be interested depending on what sports there will be. I'll keep a look out for the details.

 

[WDWMom]

I'm in. Any ideas on how we can get this to work so we only get the sports we need/want?

 

[Spinning]

Here's a suggestion! (I think this would be a really fun swap but worry that I couldn't use a lot of the elements I would get!)
What if the people who are interested said what sport they need pages for. Then we do a page swap instead of elements! Does that make sense?
My kids only do baseball, swimming and diving. So I couldn't use soccer or basketball. But would have fun doing those pages for someone else. Just a thought! What ever you guys do will be fine.

 

[WDWMom]

What if we signed up according to the sport. Say we start with football, tennis, soccer and cheerleading since they are fall sports (at least in MI they are). There will really be 3 swaps in one. Everyone picks two elements and keep the number of people to 5-6 so we are only making 10-12 items. Then after fall sports, do winter sports and then spring sports.

For fall I would only join the football and tennis since that is what my kids play but someone else might need FB and CL so they would only join those. Does this make since??? OP is my DD so I would help her with this. What does everyonce think?

 

[WDWMom]

ok i get it now, for anyone who doesnt understand here is an example


Football


2 tags

i topper


so on and so forth
we would do that with football, soccer, cheerleading, and tennis.

I don't suppose anyone but me would need irish dance then? actually kate does play soccer, basketball and lacrosse at school and track and field stuff. sounds like an interesting swap. maggie

 

[Spinning]

I will have to wait and see how the guidelines are.
My kids do the odd sports like Nicurn
Fall baseball, diving and winter swimming

Indoor, spring, summer and fall BASEBALL My son loves the sport. We used to do alot more but he has narrowed it down to one. So I would join a baseball swap. In fact I am doing an entire 7x7 album of his tournament team, and still have his regular team to do in his large album. So that would be really fun!

It would be nice to keep these swaps to 6 scrappers like the card swap so that your not overwhelmed with pieces to do.

I keep an eye out for this one.

 

[christinadei]

this sounds like fun. I'd be in on some of the sports. Football, basketball, baseball, boyish sports.

Bumping this up to the top. I'm pretty swapped out right now, but I'm still very interested in this sports swap. DD's first cross-country meet is today, and that kind of brought this swap to mind. Anyone still interested in this one, or have any ideas about how to work it out? I thought the idea about just signing up for the sports we need is a good one. I noticed Maggie needs Irish dance things, but wonder if general dance items would work for her too. I've got lots of dance recital pix to scrap.

 

[4ltlTinks]

I like the idea of signing up for the sports you want too. A general dance category would work for me...my girls do ballet, tap, and jazz.

My friend, Geri, I'm sure would be interested as well (as long as she could pick the sports).

 

[WDWMom]

OP is my DD and we have been trying to figure out how to do this. I think we have it figured out. I will post sign-ups later this week, but here is our idea. Please let me know what you think.

We will have sign-ups by sport. Let me know which ones people need and we'll do the top 5 or so.

There will be 5-10 openings per sport and you can do more that one. I need football and cross country so I would do both. You then would pick your item to make like the other swaps. Essentially this will be 5 swaps (or whatever number) in one swap.

I would like to keep this to fall sports only so we don't have too many at once. We can then do a winter sport swap after christmas and a spring swap after spring break. I know boys and girls don't play the same sport at the same time (at least in Michigan they don't) so we will have to pick a choose. Remember, I hope to do all the sports by the end of the school year so don't feel like we might miss something because we have all year.

 

[nicurn]

hey, I'd be interested unless it got to complicated with like the whole point system thing (because quite frankly, you need 4 squares not one or two) If it's a fairly routine swap, I could probably handle it. I could use soccer stuff. In terms of general dance stuff, that might work, but I wouldn't want a bunch of ballet slippers since kate doesn't do ballet. sorry if this is coming across as slightly grumpy. It's been a long day. maggie

 

[WDWMom]

No, it would be a fairly routine swap, Maggie. I don't care for the point system so I'll keep it simple.

 

[4ltlTinks]

After thinking about what I would do for a dance swap...you're right nicurn, it's hard to do general dance. It would almost need to be split up into tap, ballet, jazz, clog, etc. Not sure if there are enough of us out here to fill each slot up. I would be willing to host a dance one with all the different types of dance, but not sure how many are interested in that.

 

[Twigs]

I am definitely interested. The fall sports I would join would be soccer and cross country. When would sign ups be?

 

[Spinning]

I agree iwth Maggie about the point system. I just don't get it.
This sounds like such an interesting swap but so far we don't have any of the sports! LOL!
But if diving, swimming and baseball pop up someone track me down!

 

[nicurn]

not to worry spinning, we'll track ya down. maggie
