Surprise Swap 4~ Completed~

[SusieStone]

LOL Mazda!


I'm just waiting for Susie's box to arrive I still need to check my mail for today, I will make double positive sure that I get your box out very first

Tell Kicky that I am also going to include a lil extra extra something because he has been such a trooper and waiting

Kat -

I hate that I have inconvenienced you. It is so not far that I am delaying you from swapping. I haven't reboxed these yet. Please feel free to go ahead and swap out without me if you need to and I can save these for the next time.

I am so sorry and did not mean to throw everything else behind for you.

Since there aren't assigned groups, It should still work out okay if you need to go ahead and swap out.

It's okay Susie.
We understand.
You've had lots of stuff going on in real life.

I'm sure it's no big deal for Kat. You weren't in Halloween or Christmas so those are already swapped out. We will just be getting some of our own stuff back. Which is okay with me. I like what I made.

Thanks. I just don't want anyone to think I have flaked since so much has gone on and I can post pics of what I have made.

I certainly don't want to hold anyone else up.

I would not ever think you flaked! Your life has major challenges and you are still doing all you can here! I don't know how you do it.

Sorry I won't be getting any of your amazing work on this one but I wouldn't mind some of my own pieces back too so that's just fine with me!

I'm sure we can work out trades and that way Kat can go ahead and get this out in the mail this weekend.

 

[Tigger1221]

Susie- I also don't mind waiting a little longer. Either way is fine.

 

[KatDisney]

Oh Susie, my Susie... we will wait whats a few more days Besides I am super swamped at work right now and have to work Saturday and Raine has company coming this weekend so there is no way I'd be swapping this weekend anyways. And besides I know you have some super cute stuff coming so I'm sure everyone is willing to wait

Plus if we wanna get down to brass tacks I'm hostess for this swap and I say we are waiting...lol...

 

[Princess Jayne]

djackow - i got yours yesterday and i updated the first page yesterday.

Jayne - keep positive it still might show up. how many items/groups did you complete?

I was only in one group so seriously dont worry about mine - if they turn up then thats great but honestly dont worry about it! cant wait to see the stuff from this swap tho - i love looking through the things people make! xxx

Sorry about the work, but well cool. This will give you a chance to do the other hostess part - the taking of the photos. I can't wait to see what everyone has made in the groups I wasn't in. It'll give Kicky something to see while he is waiting.

 

[123SA]

Yes please! Photos!! DD would love to see them and me too!

 

[missesdisney]

Photos please! I love to see what everyone has done and then wait on this one for which 'surprises' come back.

Kat - do you know when you think you'll be swapping and mailing? I'm working on my Disney book from my last trip and this is the swap that always fills in the gaps so I'm hoping to get this back before my next camping trip when I'll be scrapping a ton!

 

[missesdisney]

Hi Kat,

I was sorting through the list of who was in my groups so I can peek when you get the pictures posted to get an idea of what sorts of things are out there and I'm a bit confused about something. Here is the stitch group:

Special Request Groups: Stitch!

kat - 2
Tinkerbean 2
Tigger1221 - 1
SusieStone - 1
Mickey'sfriend - 1
hopemax - 1
missesdisney - 1

Since there are only 7 of us how are you and Tinkerbean going to get back two completed groups of 6 without duplicates?

Although, with Susie looking like she can't get her stuff sent, that would mean I will definitely get one of Hope's Stitch groups if I do the math right!

Just curious - this one looks like a bear to be swapping so best of luck and here's looking forward to getting them soon!

[hopemax]

I noticed that the math wouldn't work a lot time ago for the Stitch. I figured they could either get dups back, or swap the dups with general Disney stuff.

 

[TinkerBean]

If Susie isn't sending hers in then that would mean we would each get one of each right? Yippee!!!

Even if Susie sends in we should be getting one thing made by each of the participants. (7 swappers, we sent 6 but we aren't getting our own back).

Without Susie, then we would get one of everyones + either Kat or TinkerBean's second piece (or our own). Kat & TinkerBean will get each other's second group and then duplicates. I don't think I'll be getting my Stitch back

However, some people did extras for previous flakers, so I don't know if someone not on the list added a Stitch group. I think Susie was adding another Stitch group. I would have done another, because I saw how the math was going, but I ran out of time.

 

[KatDisney]

I'm not sure when I will swap out, I've told Susie I will wait for her box and That's what I'm waiting on Hope you all understand. If you need yours back sooner let me know and I wills wap out what I can.

The Stitch Group you will get some of your own back since we didn't have enough ppl or I can swap it with general. your choice.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I really do need mine back soon Kat.
This was one of the things we are doing on our vacation. Using these items to design a scavenger photo hunt around. I've promised my boys we would do this.

If it is too much work, because I've asked for non-store bought items as mine are all hand made, please just take my two packages and mail them back to me. There is enough postage in each one to take care of it.

Maybe I can bribe Arizona_Rita to come over an help you. I really think this one will be just aweful to swap out. I'll order Domino's to deliver for you.

 

[missesdisney]

Hi again Kat,

I have my thinking cap on today so I have another question. Figured I'd post here so if anyone else had it they could see the answer too!

For the 'random draw' will there be any rhyme or reason to it to make sure that no one ends up with a lot of items back from only one swapper or get an inordinate amount of store bought items in return for hand made. So I guess I'm asking if you will pull for one swapper at a time randomly? That might avoid that but it's going to get hairy when you have some people in 15 groups in one area.

I expect fairly random but I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that I don't want multiple store bought items in any one grouping for my hand made ones. Or, getting multiple items from any one swapper since everyone's style is so different and that is the best part of a swap like this.

Thanks for your help!

 

[missesdisney]

Ok I posted without reading the replies.

I also need mine back fairly soon since I am holding up my book for it at the moment and DS and I work on the book when we go camping which is coming up fast.

Happy to see that we will all get one of each for Stitch - I am ok with my own back if you need to swap the second 2 groups for you and Tinkerbean into the general. As long as I get back 6 stitch pieces that aren't duplicated (unless they are my own duplicated back) I'll be happy on that one.

 

[missesdisney]

I agree on the awful to swap out part.

Funny thing is - you could order dominos online from home! Now that I think if it you could have surprised her with Dominos if you knew when the swapping would happen in advance! That would be funny! Kat has 8 bazillion bags on the floor/bed/table swapping and there is dominos! Ok not so funny - I've tried to step away mid swapping and its' too hard.......

I'm punchy today!
