Checking in, I have some stuff purchased and pulled together, but I haven't baggied anything up yet.

 

[Arizona Rita]

Hoping to be postal by Monday!

 

[Arizona Rita]

Postal!
It is coming by UPS. My Dh uses a UPS store and felt bad that they had a slow Christmas and wants to stay in business so asked me to mail them this way this time. I hope this isnt a hardship on you, or TB or AWM as all 3 packages went that way!
(But I think its more expensive and I think I will be going back to USPS).

 

[rlovew]

No problem- them come up and drop things off at the garage. I think every delivery service available dsropped things off over Christmas.

In these 2 groups you don't have to go with one character- so while your whole bag can be cinderella and blue the other bags may be general princesses with any of the princesses and princessy things. Anyone can choose 1 princess or go with all of them.

[catinthehat35]

My items will go postal on Monday. I hope my bags are okay. Thanks for hosting this wonderful swap!

 

[Michi Belle]

I guess I have the same worry as everone else. I ahve a lot of little items in there & ribbons in there. So I did some paper piecings as well. But still short. I would be happy with what's in there, but I want you to be too. I will see if can come up with other things. I would like to put more hand made things, but I just don't have the time. Thanks yall.

Ribbons and fiber seem to fill up the bags faster than other things. I think if the value of the bag is at least $5 then you probably have enough (not that you actually spent $5 but if you bought the items at full price). I think that is about the least I have in any of my bags.

Handmade items would definately make up for leaving some space in the bags also.

Does that help anyone?

Oh, well have definately exceeded $5.00. It's just not super packed & bulging. I guess that's ok then. I will see if I can throw in there a couple more paper piecings. Thanks a bunch rlovew

 

[Ohana 4]

I'm having the same troubles. My only group that is "bulging" is the
Winter group. I'm having loads of trouble with Cars. I'll be thinking about other ideas for it but it'll probably go out soon.

 

[rlovew]

Remember that it is things to go with the idea- so it could be ribbon, fiber, euylets, or brads in the colors that are seen in the movie or thought of for it. So with cars I think of true red and the bright blue of sally but the rusty color would also work for towmater.

I think this is turning out to be harder than we thought!
Rebecca you should be getting my stuff today or tomorrow. Please let me know if you think theres enough stuff in my baggies. It got to the point where I just had to let it go.

 

[chiefdragon]

Rebecca...can you let me know when you get my stuff. Thanks Angie

 

[rlovew]

chiefdragon - your arrived this morning with my mail. The bags look great. The season bags look very generous.

[hopemax]

My baggies are all put together. But I figured I can just bring them to FL with me. If we aren't able to meet up, I will pop them in the mail from there
