If I get enough advance notice, I could probably make someone a really awesome paper bag album.

ok if we are going to do this i NEED AWM to be my ss, because i NEED that paper bag album!!!!!!


ok i really want to do this, but i'm not sure about the homemade goodies??? like what kind of homemade goodies???? maybe if i get an idea now i can start working on mine so they will be nice enough. give me some idea's please.

I you, man.

Maybe something like a paper bag book, or cricut stuff for someone who does not have a cricut. It could also be die cuts, or an altered item.
We will have to brain storm a list so that we have lots of ideas to get the creative juices flowing.

Well, there are the tag albums we've already made for a swap. You could make up one of those, say with 6-10 pages on a keyring ring-thing or ribbon. Everyone could use a Disney themed. If you go with the Fab 5 you don't have to worry about children or their gender.

You could make page kits. The mats, blank topper, tag, journal box & shapes/squares using a color theme.

The before mentioned paperbag albums.

Oh, I know, you could make all occasion cards. That would be a cool one.

[party of 3]

That's a good idea!

I like all the ideas so far. I can definitely shop my stash and the homemade goodies sound great. It would be fun to come up with homemade goodies based on the SS's questionnaire. Maybe there could be a question on there about what kind of projects/themes you would like best, or if there are any you really wouldn't use.

I like the homemade package idea but can that month please be further along in the list. I know someone said sign-ups in late Jan. with first mailing in March so could that be the $0.41 envie, with April or even May being the handmade goodies? I would just like to make sure that I could make stuff my SS would need/use/like instead of making random things and hoping they would fit.

Does that make sense?

 

[Faerie]

Love that idea Shauna Start small and then go big

yeah ummmm my first and only attempt at paper bags failed miserably, I think I will turn the teaching reins over to Miss AWM, or Miss Nancy for this one.

I'm always up for a SS swap!!! I like the idea of mailing one "bigger" box. Postage tends to add up when sending 3 smaller boxes. This way you can just use the flat rate box and jam it full!

This is always my favorite swap!
