thankyou swap partners!

Shame about the short amt. of turn around time. Some of us have to plan our buying around the 1st of each month when the moolah comes in.

Anam - Yes sorry bout the short turn around, thats why its called - Quick! I need.... but i will keep trying to host it, so maybe you can jump in next time if this one isnt convenient.

Yes I know sometimes hard to coordinate when we run out of something and when the cash comes in. Do you have any of the things people are asking for in your 'stash' already?

IheartSwap - what kinda tape? deco, scotch, double-sided, duct tape or doesnt matter, any of the above?

off topic but:

ok, this will sound really dumb, ecspecially since i listed it in the suggestions, what is kawaii?? I have seen it in tons of swaps thats why i listed it as a suggestion, must be very popular. Can anyone elaborate for me??

Quick! I need:

1. scrapbook paper

2. scotch tape

3. craft scissors (the ones that cut designs, not straight cut)

I need

1)More Fragrence or Essential oils 2)Blank Mailing Lables 3)Wool Yarn

synuay, kawaii is romanized japanese for "cute"...it is a generic term used to describe the uber-cuteness that comes from japan (ex: san-x, relax bear, hello kitty). it encompasses all those obnoxiously adorable characters you can't help but love...basically kawaii is cuteness -ixazalvoh

1. Double Sided Tape/Archival Safe Scrapbook Tape Runner

2. Unused (US) Postage

3. Bubbleopes - Small to Medium Sized.

What a great Swap! Thank-you for hosting it! :]

thanks ixazalvoh - out of that i did understand hello kitty. LOL so its japanese cartoon characters? like precious moments dolls here in the states? so kawaii means 'cuteness' but if someone asks for kawaii, they want the japanese version not the U.S. version of cute cartoon character stuff. am i getting warm???? (geeez i must be getting old if i cant keep up with cuteness.)

And you are all welcome for the swap - I know we all have times when we have an awesome idea to finish up a project, finally make time to get to our 'crafty corners', and then its.... oh, come on, you gotta be kidding me.. ..I know I had more _____! .. ..AHHHHHHHHHHH! (or a nice string of not so nice words!)

Have fun with the swap everyone! I will keep trying to host it so others can jump aboard too after this one.

Awesome awesome awesome idea (as everyone else and their mother said!).

Quick! I need: 1. Postcards 2. Unused U.S.P.S. stamps 3. Things to decorate handmade cards - so glitter, sequins, ribbons, etc.

I see that AsteraPallas included "Bubbleopes" in the list. What IS that?????

Bubbelopes= padded envelopes with bubble-wrap instead of stuffing for the padding. lightweight protection for your "delicate mailables". Cyn

Quick, I need... 1. metallic papers--a batch of small pieces (~2"x2") is fine, don't need anything big 2. embossing pen 3. flat-backed rhinestones asst colors and sizes (acrylic ones are fine)

Fairyandgnome, what size/shape labels are you looking for?

Cyn

QUICK! I need:

Glue sticks...ATC blanks...ATC sleeves.

I can't wait to see what comes from different parts of the country. Maybe what I can get right here at home, maybe not, but needed supplies none the less. Thanks!!

quick i need! lol ok i need unused us post stamps, glue sticks, and tapes

and if you cant come up with thouse i actually need Bubbleopes also

• unused US postage stamps
• empty matchboxes
• bubble mailers

Quick! I need... 1. Ink pad(s) 2. buttons 3. Kawaii (I have never gotten any before so I thought this would be a good way to start my stock!)

synuay I didnt know what kawaii was so I did a google "image" search and now I know. ixazalvoh's explanation was great also.

I just stumbled onto this swap and it is just too short of a time since I have a business trip next week. I hope I can join the next one. I have one question...what are "ATC's" (e.i "...ATC blanks...ATC sleeves.")

oh yeah...one more question...is there a way of saving a swap like in a favorites list or something? I would like to save this one and see if I can participate next time.

AHH thanks, goood point! SORRY for my tape request it is:

scotch, double-sided, or clear mailing packaging tape! any will do :)

This is really great! I love this idea!

I really need:

• assorted large glass beads
• FIMO soft (white but any colors!)
• memo pads: not post-its, or spiral, but the lined kind with the glue at the top (I hope that was descriptive enough!)
• assorted pewter charms
• mini blank note cards (itty bitty!)

Can't wait to see what comes in the mail! :D

What a great idea!

1) unused postage 2) swap cards 3) buttons (any--I am making a button jar)

Thanks bunches!

Quick I need...

A letter opener

but I'de be happy to receive:

Craft Glue ATC bases/backings/canvases (2.5" x 3.5") A surprise from my profile.

This sounds like a great swap. Unfortunately, a known flaker has joined, and I'm a bit nervous that I'd end up with her as my partner. See this thread: http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/2623

This isn't the only thread she's mentioned in. I run a Yahoo group in which she left owing swaps. Just thought as the host, you'd want a heads up.

Hey Irene!

I recently ran my first swap and ended up blocking someone from the swap. (I won't say why...) But, if you bring this kind of information up to the host/hostess, I'm sure they will take everything into account before assigning partners. As the host, you are able to block people from your swaps at your discretion...

I would suggest, that if you have concerns, message the host/hostess about them.

Staci

Quick! I need...

well, I don't need anything particular, but this sounds quick and fun as my first swap, so here goes

1. yarn
2. beads
3. boxes (or bottles, i like pretty, useless container things)

thought of something i do need!!!

i need two largish buttons (making a scarflet) and charms or pendants would be just as cool as beads. better, even.

Quick! I need... Sakura Gelly Roll gel pens Kawaii sticker flakes Rubber stampers (I'm a teacher, so I use them all the time. Used are OK too, but make 'em cute and school appropriate, ie no baby shower or wedding stuff. Animals and holidays go over really well.) Post it note pads in colors other than yellow Thanks!!

1. Ribbon
2. Sharpies
3. Black embroidery thread (DMC or Perl cotton)

I'm a brand new swapper, excited to join in.

Quick! I need....

1)patterned paper (im making a journal for some pals and im filling a 200 page composition book for each of them)

2)any neat magazine cutouts,photos, anything like this to decorate really...

3)postcards

hi guys, okay im going to address the 'questionable swapper' first of all.

I will not mention a name,but i have contacted this person, i have received an immediate reply that has been satisfactory to me. I am allowing the swapper to stay.

"bad swaps" happen, life happens, things are late, lost, etc. I have read all threads presented to me, among a few others i found on my own. all across these boards there is drama and everyone asks "why is this or that swapper still allowed to participate?" well in this case the swapper has responded to my messages, i feel the past is the past regardless, and "bad or questionable swappers" cannot prove themselves if they are not given a chance.

I have been promised of full participation from this swapper, and for whoever they are partnered with, IF there becomes a 'no send' or bad swap situation, I WILL ANGEL to their partners that did not receive. As ultimately it is my decision to let them stay, and therefor i will also take responsibility for that, if they do not send, i will.

I hope this eases others concerns who may want to join. But I feel they have communicated with me, they have shown all intention of participating,soooo..........

LET'S SWAP!!!!

~~~lets leave the drama to the soap operas!~~~

flowerlily64--you could do what I do and make a notepad document on your computer with a list if all the swaps you like but can't join right now, then later, either look for it again, or host it yourself! I save the file right to my desktop and can add to it and check it anytime I want to.

I do the same thing with lists of all the swaps I have each month, a different file for each month, and check them off as I send them out. I add the partners info to the listing of each swaps they come, so I don't have to go to swap-bot just to find their address when I'm ready to label the mail.

In these lists I just put the title of the swap, the mailing dates, and a brief description. I also add info from my partners' profiles so I can personalize the packages as I put them together.

Cyn

flowerlily64 - also ATC's are art trading cards. they measure 2.5" X 3.5". just a small work of art you create to collect, trade, whatever. you can find many examples online. ATC blanks are just cardstock in the required size ready for your ideas, and sleeves are plastic/cellophane sleeves like the ones kids put sports trading cards in to keep them safe.

that would be a good thing to put on your "Quick! I need... list if you join the next swap. Im sure others would be happy to send you some examples, it might be something you would enjoy making and then later swapping with.

Quick I need:

1. Distress Ink Pad (vintage/brown)
2. Pretty Papers
3. Brads or ribbons

This swap seems fun and can't wait to see who my partner is

ok guys partners are assigned. i know i had a few messages about when everyone could find their partners. i had to wait for the option to assign partners to show up.

have fun! :-)

Cyn...that is such a great idea! I was just thinking...didn't I just send out eight packages to this person? (Which I don't mind at all or I wouldn't be at Swap-bot!) Why don't I have their address and info?!!

Fabulous! Thanks, Staci

stacirose - you just sent out 8 packages to who? lol i was totally confused/lost with your post, but i hope you got it figured out. either to early when it was posted or to early when i read it. LOL

how is everyone coming on getting their packages out??? any problems??? tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!

I think Stacirose must have it figured out. I received a real nice package from her today. Thanks!

awesome, i received 1 from rebowyer2000 so far. loved it btw. (comments posted with ur rating) :-)

Just had to say this was such a fun swap! I haven't gotten anything yet (patiently waiting), but I had fun making the packages! You must do this one again!!

I'm on a lot of medication...sometimes it takes me longer than I'd like to figure things out! :P LOL!

But, I usually do!!! :D

Is anyone else still waiting on packages and ratings from this swap? This is my first swap, so I'm not really sure how this all works. But it has been two weeks and I have only gotten one of my three packages!
