2012 Swap Calendar/Preparation

[123SA]

Just adding my 2 cents worth,
I really enjoyed Mazda'a Springtime Secert Sister this past year. Is it possible to do that again and uh, if Mazda doesnt want to host, well, uh, maybe....

Also, are we going to have a Color Swap again? It's my favorite and doesnt involve titles, which I am terrible at and at this time do not even want to try.
And if we are making a MAW book, I am always in for that.

I just wish someone could come here and teach me about my cricut because Im sure I would love it.

Yes, the color swap is always a good one.

Your cricut -- I would love to come and show you, but you are too far away. Have you looked into whether any of the big stores have a class, or just a demonstrator? Have you looked for how-to vidoes on-line? Once you get over your fear of breaking it, I am sure you will find it is really quite easy to manange. It is just too wonderful a toy to remain in the box!

Let's see...DH is due to ship out again in early January...

Just in time for cookies - I'd prefer that your hubby was home, but now we'll have someone to send cookies to. I'll need his address

Okay, I would like the 2 inch letters for parks/lands. Sign ups late January with due date late March or early April if that would work into the calendar.


I had an idea for maybe a spring/summer activity swap. Beach, hiking, swimming, walk in the park, playground type things. I was thinking either mini-kits or title and one element to keep things simple. I could post an interest thread and see what kind of interest there would be.

Thoughts?

Those sound good... If you want we can put it on the schedule.. you pick dates for spring/summer swap....

Could you do the very end of January w/ the 2" park/land letters and due date early april? This will keep it away from the MK due date better...

How about sign ups for 2 inch letters January 27-30 with a due date of April 11? Or is the due date too close to Easter? I am flexible with the due date can be earlier or later.

Sign ups for spring/summer could be April 13-16 with a due date of June11?

If this doesn't work i'm pretty flexible. so whatever works for the whole.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I don't suppose "Other parks"could include DLRP??? If not I'm sure I can find something else which works

Can we have sign-ups for the making pages end March and the primas some time in May please?

I'm up for anything, but Other Parks is usually the non-Disney parks in the Orlando area (Sea World, Universal, Islands of Adventure, Kennedy Space Center). Last time I tried to make the categories work for other places as well. For example, in the Sea World groups we had some specific Sea World stuff but we also had a few with sea animals that would work for almost any aquarium.

But when I do an interest thread, please remind me -- it could be fun to do a few titles of the "other" Disney parks. And you never know if it will work until we try it!

I would be happy to host the sports/activities swap if nobody's claimed it yet. Signups in early to mid February would work great for me...

Also, if there's interest for a Pet swap again this year, I can host it this summer. We had just a few players last year, so if y'all think we should skip this one that's fine with me too.

Nan,

Was just going to send up an interest thread But I got distracted cleaning up. Make sure everyone is ready to do it. Then sign ups 13-17ish. Partners & First Challenge 20th. Mail date March 2nd. Sound good?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Sounds great!! Put that interest thread out there!!

 

[DisneyBarlans]

Ok, let's do sign ups for the sports swap from Feb. 10-13th with a due date of April 16th.

Dates for the Pet swap (if there's enough interest). Sign ups June 1-4th with a due date of July 30th.

Thanks Nan!!

I would like to host another Surprise swap and also try a new one. I just saw this swap on the Cricut boards...it's ABC only different. You may sign up for whatever letter(s) you want...that letter should be the first letter in the name of a Cricut cart. You then make an item from that cart for each person signed up under that letter. For example...I choose letter P. I use the Pack Your Bags cart and make a flower from the cart. Each letter would have a max of 10 participants. So, you would make up to 10 of each of your items. Each person would list what they planned to make so there are no doubles, but could change their mind as long as we are notified to again avoid duplicates. It would be a fun way to get some items that maybe we couldn't if we don't have certain carts. The guidlines could be the same for all other paper piecings. At least 2 layers and embellishing is up to the creator. I'd like to do sign-ups for this one February 3-6, due in the beginning of April and the Surprise swap in the beginning of May due in mid-July.

 

[Mickeyteacher]

Can we schedule the embellishment swap sign ups in Feb. Due in April?
Can we schedule the deco squares sign up in May and due in July?
Anything else tht you need me to help with- let me know!
