Interest - Disney Surprise Swap

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm going to be sitting the next round out. I have too much going on this fall scrap wise. I have to get a wedding book done by Christmas for DH's cousin. That, the event swap, and the 2 swaps I will be hosting will have me stressed out enough.

I hope all of you will survive.

Since you are world reknown for your paper piecings and I am not including those this time - you will see a huge number of participants in your swaps.

I'm going to have to add more security..

Hope's swaps I am guessing are going to be insane when she posts the sign ups..

I know I'm camping out..lol...

I just love Hopemax paper piecings. The past surprise swap I got two sets of the Monster Inc and a Tow Mater. I cant wait to use them in my books. I just love'em.

I'm still on the fence, but I may do this one. I loved Kat's and although I may not have anything to trade yet, can I make things to send that would total 5pts per bag?

Oops! I think I just combined 2 threads!:

Wait till you start making things for one swap only to realize you should have been making a different theme for the other swap.

But yes, you can make totally new and different things. Feel free to use up the stash of stuff you already have.

With my power being out when I supposed to do sign ups and with my current swap being delayed, I totally forgot all about this one. Yes, I'm a natural blue. Since nobody has mentioned it since, I'm going to just let this one wait until November for sign ups with a due date at the end of January. This way everyone can work on it over the holidays if they want to, or wait until they are over [and use up those gift cards on supplies ]

Maybe I read wrong but I had thought with the mold thing and then with Ivan you were going to sit out for awhile or was that you would finish this year and then sit out awhile? Anyway, whatever groups or sizes, Banana and I will be in.
Also, is there going to be a "Christmas tag" swap and are you hostessing that too?
You have a touch of insanity in you, dont you or is that why the rums always gone?

I thought I was going to have to but thankfully I still have someplace safe to make and store swap stuff. I just have to pick swaps that I use up my stash first.

Yes to the tag swap. It's a super easy one to do.
The Surprise swap will be simplified when I do it too. Just the basic elements - photo mats, frames, journal boxes, tags. Choose any two. Make 8. {I picked this because you can get 4 mats from a 12x12 with little waste}

It's the insanity, not enough rum.

I can only get 3 mats from a 12x12 myself (plus matting for a journal box)

We are busy leading up to Christmas but because we're not big New Year fans once Boxing Day is passed we often do craft stuff (its indoors in the warm and dry - nuff said!) But I'll have to see how the hand goes.

Buffy did a tutorial for us on how to do it- it involves turning the mat quite a bit but you can get 4 mats and a little box in the middle. I will try to search for it later and add the link- it will save you on paper.

Sounds great but I have gotten so backed up with real life stuff that I am taking a break for a while after I dig out of this hole.
