Spring Secret Sister swap.... Update- past 74 page 5

[MyLittlePiglet]

I'd like to join this time around. I think one box may be better if people are really trying to trim spending. (whoever said postaeg adds up is sooo true) I have no problem with homemade goodies or from someone's stash cause everything is new to me!!! NO one says they have to spend "new money".

Buffy, I can do a paper bag album class. DBF leaves Saturday for China for 2 weeks so I'll have lots of time!

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?

Count me in too! I loved doing the Fall SS. and like the idea of the three different packages.

One thing though if you do sign ups the end of Jan (1/25 to 2/3) I will be in WDW, MickeyTeacher could you put me on the list.

Thanks!

I am interested. I'll have to wait to see when the dates are and what the decision is on package types.

 

[MazdaUK]

It sounds fantastic but with the postage being what it is I'll have to keep away But please do keep a 41c swap on the side for us non-SS swappers

Thanks Faerie. All my albums were way over the top. I totally went over-board with double matting, eyelet/brads, ribbon/fiber. I used all our swap rules for making the elements to put on the bags and then used some albums that were being sold on ebay as templates for the different pages. I received simpler ones that are just as pretty and way more flexible in their potential uses. Mine were pretty strict. You can only put a pic or journal here, no not there, only here. No not that size, you have to cut your photo to THIS size.

Sounds like fun to me.

So, in the homemade box, everyone will have to do a paper bag album? I'm not that crazy about them, I'd rather make an exploding box, or exploding page for her scrapbook, or a pack of hm cards... I also do jewelry and painting...so I was full of ideas for that...I could probably shop my stash of samples and fill several boxes right now...

I love the idea of starting out small, then having the big box at the end...

Also, since we are talking about useful things, can the questionaire have some home dec questions, like, what color is your craft room? LR? BR? You know, for some altered type things...

This sounds like fun and I want to play too!!! I like the idea of the 3 packages and going from small to big.

NO!

That is just one idea, along with a class on making them.
I might make an paperbag album or I might make an album in a tin. Got some cute round tins that I can alter and put in an accoridan album.

Definitely need some more questions to answer about likes/dislikes/decor/themes.

I did not get the idea it had to be a paper bag album, but that was one participant (AWM) would make.

What is an exploding box or an exploding page?

This sounds like a fun twist on the SS swap. I'm in for whatever is decided.
