Swap ideas for the new year (2007)

We then get the whole puzzle returned each piece altered to a different theme? I'm having a blonde moment this morning :blush: , and just want to clarify.

UMMMMM...... I think maybe we could do themes like MK for Disney. Then each piece could look differently like a mosaic of the park.

i think a calendar one would be cool too, have a piece for each month.

Swap Goddess, is this do-able?

I agree with Buffy and think it's very do-able. I'm not sure I made myself clear when I said swap goddess (SG for short, ;) ) I meant someone who oversee's the timing of the swaps, not someone who actually hosts all the swaps.

So hypothetically, say I want to start an embellishment swap, I would check with Buffy to see when an open month is available for it to end. She'd get back to me and say we have an opening for an embellie swap due in, let's say, March. Then I could start signups in Jan for it. And I imagine she would have a 2007 swap calander sticky for us to look at too. Does that make sense? I hope so b/c I'm just now drinking my morning tea! :p
 
I am liking the scavanger hunt swap, the pizza box swap, and the secret sister. I don't know that I would enjoy any swap where I had to make items. I think that would kind of scare me!!! :blush:

Yeah, I got it with the Swap Goddess thing, the keeper of the calendar and the "List". Sorry if my question went out to the wrong person, just was in a thought process, and the questions all came out in one post.

I didn't realize that Nancy and Brooke had split a swap. I was just throwing out an idea. Glad to know it works.
 

Oh I see what you mean now, having two hostesses. Duh, see what happens when I read and post before I've had my morning caffeine. :teeth:

I like the idea of also having 2 hostesses for the groups with elements and the groups with page kits in one swap.

The calendar is already up. princess: (Closest thing to a crown) LOL I'll put the link in the first post here.

I would like to start getting things ready to fill in at least the first quarter of the year before everyone starts disappearing for the holidays. This section of the boards tends to drop off a bit at xmas. We do already have 2 things due in mid January.

Okay cool! I'd like to get an embellishment (eyelets/ribbon/brads/fibers) swap going for the new year. But I don't want to have sign ups until Jan. So maybe we can have it due end of Feb/middle of March.

sure, just to clarify you would host right? Do you have a sign up date in mind? We can add that to the calendar too.
 
I have been thinking about what to do if a person does not make the stuff for the autograph swap.

Up to now the hostess always sends you back two of the one that you made. I am thinking if there are two or more groups to take the four extra from one group and give one to each of the ones in the first group and do the same for the second group. I would do this and try to keep with the theme of the group.

For example:

Group 1
Person A
Person B
Person C
Person D
Person E (does not send)

Group 2
Person F
Person G
Person H
Person I
Person J (does not send)


So I return to each person:
Group 1
Person A - A, B, C, D, F
Person B - A, B, C, D, G
Person C - A, B, C, D, H
Person D - A, B, C, D, I

Group 2
Person F - F, G, H, I, A
Person G - F, G, H, I, B
Person H - F, G, H, I, C
Person I - F, G, H, I, D


Or would you rather get (what we do now):
Group 1
Person A - A, B, C, D, A
Person B - A, B, C, D, B
Person C - A, B, C, D, C
Person D - A, B, C, D, D

Group 2
Person F - F, G, H, I, F
Person G - F, G, H, I, G
Person H - F, G, H, I, H
Person I - F, G, H, I, I



So which would you like better blue or red?
 
I've thought about that too. Only problem is if someone is in group 1 & 2, they will still end up with duplicates. In general, I would prefer to get back different stuff, especially if it's a small group. So if it's not too difficult for the hostess I would prefer blue.
 
I pick blue, I pick blue!! I'd much rather get a surprise element/kit back than two of my own.
 
I'm for blue too. I'd love the surprise.

I would do my best to make sure you don't get a duplicate, but there would be cases where this would happen.

I also see blue as a way to get around needed as many angels.
 
I am glad that blue is so popular. I too would rather a surprise than two of what I made. This is what I will do for the autograph swap, if needed.
 
:jumping3:

I like blue too. A surprise would be way cool! Great idea!!! :teeth:
 
ok, really need assistance please if i could
i would love to be in a disney swap (parks, rides,world showcase)
what do i do now?
i am at wdw during festive season so if there are swaps on this them that aswell?
 
Buffy-I'm thinking of starting sign ups on Jan 15th or so. That way we could get a good 6-8 weeks if anyone needs to order stuff.

Mickeyfan- I like blue!!
 
I like blue too. But what if only 1 person doesn't send stuff. Then is it get one of yours back? Duh... It would have to be. Sorry. Long day.

we are not going to start sign ups for swaps until after Jan 1. If you have never swapped before then I suggest a newbie swap. We will be having some newbie park swaps in the future.
I'm sure there will be some holiday oriented swaps as well. One the first page of this thread there is a link to our 2007 swap calendar. There you will be able to see what swaps are coming up and when sign ups are. we usually leave sign ups open for a few days to allow time for friends who DIS part time and for those outside the US.
I will keep you posted on the upcoming park swaps.
