Help - I'm a newbie.....

[MegB]

I just learned about swapping while I was at a Disney themed crop yesterday. Some of my new crop friends were working on the ABC page swap and a recipe swap.

So....I've found the right area, but cannot find the calendar at the top of the page that is referenced in some of the threads.

When I click on "calendar" inside the dark blue menu at the top of the forum page, I cannot get to any month past December 2006. Is there another calendar just for the swaps? What am I missing?

Thanks.

First of all WELCOME~ We love new blood, I mean swappers.
Here is the current calendar. Look and see what you want to sign up for, contact the hostess and see what their newbie rules are. Most of the time we ask that you only sign up for 2 groups until we get to know you.

I hope to see you in a few swaps soon!

Welcome Meg!!!! I hope to see you in some of our swaps.

I've got an Animal Kingdom swap coming up this week. Sign-ups will start on Friday (6/19). There is an interest thread a few posts down that shows what the groups will be.

Hi Meg!!!! Welcome aboard!!!

Here is a link to the calendar, it's not the one in the info bar, it's a thread at the top of the swap sub forum.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. The AK swap would probably be a great place to start. We also have a swap photo gallery here in case you have questions about what particular items are.

Have fun! And I hope to see you swapping soon!

Glad you found us, Meg! (My directions couldn't have been that bad...yippee!) We're newbies too to the scary people (!) swaps and are having a blast meeting everyone and working on the fun projects. You were doing some very nice work yesterday and I know you'll fit in just fine!

We all enjoyed the crop yesterday and will be posting photos of our swap work in the Disney ABC and recipe threads. Z2H and I got A LOT done and had a blast with all of our DIS(ney) fanatic scrappy friends. I think I got ATG trigger finger fatigue...!

See you on the boards and IRL!

Welcome....the more the merrier. I'm a newbie, too, and everyone here has been fantastic! Couldn't fine a nicer group of people to work with. Jump right in and don't be afraid to ask questions. I've certainly asked for more than my quota allows. WARNING: Swapping is highly addictive and does not work well with household duties.

Welcome- we are happy to have you joining us! The Animal Kingdom swap is starting soon and the resort swap starts next week- both are great for getting your feet wet with us.

Welcome, Meg! I'm in MA too, and was unable to attend the Disney Crop due to GS Encampment this weekend.

I have a couple of swaps open right now, I'd love to have you join us! Card Candy Swap and Card Swap.

Welcome Meg - we LOVE new swappers (part of our evil plan to abolish mwa-ha-ha)

Highly addictive - especially once you start getting stuff back and think "Hmmmm... so for the next swap I think I'l buy......."

Thank you for the great welcome. I wasn't looking at the top of the "threads" for the calendar. I was looking at the top of the web page. So thank your for getting the calendar to me.

I've been reading, and re-reading all of the info. I think I'd like to start with a full page swap. The idea of designing one or two pages, but then getting just about a whole album back is very appealing....

As soon as I learned about what PinballFamily was working on I knew I wanted in. I could see my DH cringe when I came home to tell him
