Preparing for Disney Surprise Swap 3 and introducing my Blog

[hopemax]

Oh, my, I clicked on your name, it said your location is Bellingham! Do I know you? My mom was the Asst. store manager of the Disney Store before it closed, you probably met her.

<-- Sehome class of '93

wow, small world! I actually went to school in Burlington though. Class of 97, so probably never met! Although I had a small crush on a guy from Sehome... BUUUUUTTTTT, I DID shop at the Disney Store-way back when it was here so who knows, maybe I did meet your mom! And I used to work with a guy that worked at the Disney Store. So she was probably his boss! That would be too funny. You'll have to ask her if she remembers a UPS Disney nut. He was crazy Disney! Moved here 4 years ago and mostly I like it, sometimes, Not so much.

or use fibers like AWM.

You really like the fiber work? I stopped doing it because no one else was, so I thought that meant no one liked it. I'd be happy to make you some special items in the surprise swap.

I like fiber work but not comfortable with it myself.

No, I love it! Just I'm not good at finding, and picking and choosing. You've got my Morocco items, that is about as fiber heavy as I've gotten. I was trying to pick some out for the AK swaps last night, and I just stared and thought, "I, don't know what would be good!"

And fibers is one part of my stash that I don't really have, so if someone wanted to trade me some, for my stuff...I was hoping to get some in the $.41 swap, and while I loved what I got...no fibers.

Is there a picture somewhere of AWM's fiber work you are talking about? I don't believe I know what you are talking about. I don't think I've swapped enough yet to have gotten any.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hope, I have tons of fiber, seriously. I will send some out to you when I get back on Thursday. You can pick from my list of wants what you want to send back.

These are my first submissions to swaps, with fiber work.

I love fiber..but have a hard time finding the colors I want... Mike's and Jo's around here have a hit/miss supply...

Do you happen to have a blue? Dark blue?

I have a royal blue wild child eyelash and black wild child eyelash that you could put together for a neat effect.

I have those!

I went out for all my supplies today. And I examined the ribbons and fibers more this time. Got a couple things. Some of the stuff at JoAnns is fancy. I picked one up that would be perfect for Africa...$19.99 a yard...put it back. I did get a couple that were $1.69 a yard.

AWM, don't make a separate mailing for me, you can just fill the cracks in the Epcot swap package.

Could I get some of that?? and what would you like in return??? Let me know!

 

[missesdisney]

OK - I finally got to go through it all and your stuff is just amazing!

If you are not already on overload I'd love to join in when this goes with

Muppet Journal box
Tree of Life Paper Piecing
Christmas Title, Frame, Mat, Tags, Paper Piecing

Just amazing.....

 

[happycampers]

AWM, those are very cute. I bet they look fanfreakintabulous in person. (using that scrappers' dictionary ) Are those fibers around the edge of the animal squares? How did you get the fun fur so nice on the edges on the giraffe?

 

[marlynnp]

I was lucky enough to be in the swap where Hope did that Prospector frame and I was amazed when I got it, let me tell you the photos don't do it justice. And I have the adventure land frames which I also think are great - I think the raffia on there counts as fiber work, lol!

I would love to have...

the muppet journal box
the enchanted tiki room set

name your price!

 

[hopemax]

For the Tiki room set, which marylynnp and TPCShauna have requested. That was originally made for an 8x8 page, so the title is pretty small. I can make it larger. So if you guys can either post or PM if you would prefer your title to be normal swap size (8") or mini, I'd appreciate it. The other pieces should be okay for any size.

I ordered the paper for the Christmas and Woody stuff today.

I think I am up to 40 requests...I have about 10 done (plus I made a couple extras of some styles). That's not even 7 groups of 6 I'm doing more than that for the AK swaps.

 

[YodasMom]

Hope ~ Let me know what you want in trade for the things I requested.

I would like mine to be normal swap size if that is OK. Tell me when you are ready to talk exchanges.

Thanks again, Hope!

Any chance I could get a tiki set too? Pretty please Hope?
