Make sure you get a pond heater for winter or you will have fish sticks. LOL

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Do you have any idea about what it would cost in electricity to run one of those? I'd like to do it, but if it costs too much, I won't be able to convince the DH.

not a clue, but you only need to run it when the temps go below freezing.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Guess I'll be googling to get an idea. Maybe if the initial outlay isn't too much, I can ask for the upkeep to be a Christmas present. I really don't think I could handle disposable fish.

 

[TinkerBean]

I think it's pretty much just like the little heaters that they have for bird baths...It just keeps the water above freezing, that's all they really need. How big is the pond?

OT - We had a friend whose Koi kept disappearing from his pond. Everytime he'd restock it they would be gone within a week or so. Turns out he was providing Sushi for the racoons.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

We put a rock over some bricks in the middle of the deep section for the fish to hide under. Also give them some shade until I get plants in there. That's tomorrow's mission. Buy water plants.

It is a 100 gallon preformed hard sided pond.
This one:

It has two shallow ledges and a deeper middle.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, you know Ashley.
She's probably out flocking around with the flock.

 

[Arizona Rita]

Ok, not that I dont give a flock about the fishies, because I do, Japan Pavillion has some gorgeous koi!, but I have more q's!
Is the matchbook as easy as it looks and it counts as an element or do you do 2pp?
Are stickers ok to work with because I love stickers, I can do stickers without flocking up too much,
and when are we supposed to sign up AND
if a group is 6 which includes "yourself" how do you get 6 different things back? Dont ever ask me to do math!
Thank you foe sll the replies and really I dont think Im as dumb as I look and I will eventually get it Or drop out and just be "Miserable for the rest of her life"!

 

[party of 3]

Rita!
i think i can answer a few of those ?'s.
i think if i remember right, the sign up date is June 27th.
and you make 6 things and you get 1 of yours and 5 others back to you when they swap it out.
now i've only been in a few so i am not the most swap savy so i hope i've answered these ?'s right.
nice to have you with us!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

PO3 is right.

If the group has 6 people, you make 6 requirements. You will get one of your own and five different ones back. This way the hostess can just make sure that everyone has the same combination of six baggies for each group when sending them back.

Yes. The matchbooks really are that simple. If you make it large enough to hold a wallet sized photo, you only have to make one per person. If you make it smaller, than there must TWO per person. I always put in at least 5 to 7 pages, but the requirements have stated that there be at least one insert page. To me that just isn't enough, but I'm an over achiever that way.

It all depends upon the sticker. If you are using the ones that are small [1/4" or smaller] and come in a bag, no. If you are using quality stickers, like EK Success, Jolee's, CM or even some of the nicer Sandy Lions, I don't mind them. The dimensional stickers are very okay. And as long as the flat sticker isn't your only embellishment, I will allow them for this swap. Remember, each swap will have different requirements. Both in quantity that needs to be made and what level of embellishment is needed.
