Inchies and MOO's Interest and suggestion thread

[Arizona Rita]

Bamb if they have the pins would you get one for me too? I can send payment before or after your trip.


I was wondering if we could start a list of things that can be used on inchies, etc?
Maybe there's something that someone else hasnt thought of?
I'll be able to use up stickers in different ways but it came to me that I still have a bunch of wire and skull beads left over from weird last year.
I wouldnt be able to contribute much because we all know my computer skills are bad. Whers'd Scotty when you need him? "Oh Computer?!"

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I will definitely look for a pin while I'm there!

List of goodies (this needs to be posted in post 1):

Beads
stickers
buttons
flowers
punched shapes
charms
stickles
skittles
brads
ribbon
stamps
miniatures (I use a lot of these in the ATC's from the miniatures dept at ACMoore)
eyelets
lace

I was searching for info on inchies this morning. Here are some links to inchies that you might find helpful:

This is a tutorial I found on YouTube: (please note that she uses cardstock, but for DisneyRider's swap we are using chipboard or matboard)

This blog has some great samples of inchies:

This blog shows some of the ways inchies were used in a challenge she had:

OHMIGOSH!!! AZR, Does that rattle a memory in the back of my brain!

A long, long time ago even before the dinosaurs (when I was a kid)....The theme for our summer jamboree was "Countries Around the World". Each troup represented a different country and we made little tradeables that represented the country our troup was learning about, and traded them. My troup was Brazill and we made maps on small posterboard squares with some of the things Brazill is known for & adhered to the map (coffee bean, etc). It was so much fun.

Another year, we did a western theme and traded frames made out of wood. Then, also made little scrapbooks for the week!

Maybe I should blame those experiences on my swapping addiction!

Thanks for the memories!!

Hey all! Over the weekend I was in our local Crafts 2000 store and they had Darice 1 inch chipboard squares a pack of 50 for $1! I think that Crafts 2000 is a sister store of Pat Katan's. Anyway I bought 3 packs. Thought I'd let you know.

When are signups for this? I thought today for some reason but don't see it.

 

[Arizona Rita]

I thought thay were today too. I havnt seen Dr on the boards this weekend.
Surina, are you ok? I hope everything is well and your just busy!

 

[Michi Belle]

I don't know if Surina is near a computer anymore. I think she may have lost her job recently. I can't seem to find her number to call her. I will look again tomorrow. I hope she's ok.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I will give a few more days, and maybe we can just open it here and D_R can take over when she gets back.
What do y'all think?

What do y'all think?

I can volunteer to manage the sign-ups in the meanwhile, if we choose to do that. If that is okay with everyone, I can look at my calendar tonight and see what day works best - most likely Saturday or Sunday morning. Then when she is able to come back to the Boards, D_R can take over?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I was just going to do it here, in post one. I can edit her post, then she can edit it when she gets back on line.
I want to see if anyone gets in contact with her first though.

She was online on the 11th, so maybe she only has access to a computer on the weekend.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

With you being able to edit her posts, that would work for D_R to resume control.

If M-M runs the sign ups in this thread, she can keep just her one post updated and BAMB can take that post and update the OP. This way BAMB only needs to contrate on the one post and M-M can run interference with questions and stuff about the swap.

M-M can post the "sign up" page, could you reference that post # in the title BAMB?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

sure can.

M_M, run the sign ups on this thread, just give me the post number and I can put that in the title.

I still want to give her til the weekend. If for some reason she doesn't come back on, I will take over hosting duties and have the stuff mailed to me.

Hope all is well D_R!!!!!! I hope you don't think we are stepping on your toes, just trying to help out. I hope to hear from you soon and that you are ok. With everything going on with Holly I think we are all on edge about making sure the peeps are ok.

That's really nice of you to do that Kristy. I was going to vounteer too because D_R & I were t hinking in the beggining to host our swaps together since they go hand in hand. Either way, I can help in the end if you all need it.
Do you think wr are looking at Sunday maybe for sign up's?

 

[Disney_rider]

I"M HERE I'M Here!!!!
Yes I lost my job and my laptop got a BAD virus so I just got it back from best buy today....
Sorry I'll be doing this today

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

WHEW!!! We were getting worried!!

Glad all is well!

 

[Michi Belle]

Yay! I couldn't find your number. I'm glad your ok! I'm so sorry about your job girl. If there's anything you need, let me know!

 

[Disney_rider]

WHEW!!! We were getting worried!!

I wouldn't say Well but I'm alive.
