Surprise Swap ----complete!!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

do you have all of the kids sets yet? if you do and wouldn't mind, I'll send you the money for it!

I have all but Lexi's. She just has to finish assembling this weekend, which is no problem! I could mail out Megan's Monday or Tuesday. It will fit in an envelope. I could even mail it 1st class instead of priority...up to you. Just let me know!! I don't mind though!!

Michelle - do your girls want theirs now, or should I wait and mail with yours?

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'm here, I have my extra groups included on my cheat sheet. I will be cutting and assembling this weekend. Will let you know on Monday how many I got done.

Awesome Ann!! So you are good with the new date, too, right?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Yup.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I guess I should post also...I have most groups done. All designs are done...just have to cut and assemble some mini kits and some single elements!! I actually sorted the bags that I already received from people. So, that's even started!! I will be trying to get this sorted out within 2 or 3 days of the deadline. As packages come in, I will update and when everything is here, I will keep everyone informed of the sorting / mailing status!!

One other question...I do want to post pictures before closing the swap. I think I asked this already, but can't remember where it is. Do we mind if I post the slide show (with a warning so you don't have to look) when I mail? Or would we rather I wait until everyone gets their package back?

 

[DisneyBarlans]

I'm about halfway done...won't have a lot of time to work on them this weekend, but next week/weekend I should be able to finish up.

UK mail has been extra slow lately.

Jayne mailed hers out to me on November 18th and I didn't get to my house until January 4th. Bad mail system. Bad.

 

[DisneyBarlans]

My vote is yes on the slide show.

If you don't mind that would be great!! she loves getting her "own" mail!! thanks for doing it for her! if Lexi doesn't finish up this weekend, that's okay to wait!

Wow, you're on top of the sorting, way to go!!! I say post the photos too with the disclaimer, me I want to see....yes I admit I want a peek!

Just mail theirs when you mail mine in one box. That way when I get my box with goodies, they get something too! With basketball/cheerleading in full swing they haven't even asked about it because we are running around like idiots Thanks so much for the offer though!

I vote for pictures too!

Letting you know where i am - I have been slowly working on pieces while we are away this week. I have everything pulled and have most of the mini kits cut accept for the elements- which i haven't decided on what they will be yet for many kits. I plan on working on them more when we get back and having these out to do when we crop on the 4th. I found hostessing the last crop that doing things that were pretty much cut and needed embelishing worked with my time.

Rachel & I vote yes on the slideshow

Rachel was bagging & tagging last night. She just needs to make her pages.

I am a little over halfway finished. All of my paper piecings are taking a lot longer than I thought they would I have my ideas sketched and I should be finished by next Friday and postal on Saturday, but, I'm not sure. Hopefully I can pick up the pace and complete a group in less that 4 hours today (that's how long each of the last 2 single element sets took )

Great Cheryl!! Take your time! Don't weigh yourself down totally!! You have nearly a month now with the extension. I don't want you to feel rushed or like you need to devote your entire day to these!!!! I am just trying to get a feel for everything so that I can keep a handle on everything. It's a lot bigger swap than the slide mount swap I hosted, so I don't want to mess up!!

I vote pictures.

It's not like you have to open if you don't want to see them.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Should I post them now or wait until they are in the mail? I have several sets here...

what are you implying

 

[MazdaUK]

I vote for pics - that way I can decide whether to hold off making pages in case I'm getting the perfect element back

I've picked up a complaint form from the PO but I can't make a claim until 25 WORKING days It's better be there by then.......
