not so secret santa swap

Cool...

Oh.. I thought the sign up deadline was next friday?! We're thursday today, we might have been able to get a few more participants that's all I was thinking. I still haven't verified if I'm able to join in yet :S I'll only be able to do a few things if I'm sending overseas, sorry!

Ya, im a little confused too Ruby, I didnt realize I was supposd to make a post on this thread every day to still be considered active in this swap. I also thought since the send out is so far away that we would have time to get more people to join.

Sorry guys, Im pulling out

its ok I will redo the list now guys

Jolanda to magic
Magic to lolly
lolly to pirate
pirate to me(michelle)
me to Jolanda

I just said I'd do it but make small items and now I'm not in the list? Don't worry though Michelle I'll sit this one out too, thought I'd have a little more time to decide, so better to say no.

oh sorry, I though you said you were droping out

Since the person we are recieving from is not the same person we are going to send to, maybe now is a good time to agreed on number of items to send etc etc

It's not like we can discuss it with partners as were are sending stuff out in a big circle so it would be unfair if some of us sent more than others etc etc

What do you think Michelle?

yeah thats a good idea

I think it would be cool if we made maybe 2 things?

One Christmas themed gift
One non-Christmas themed gift - based on the person's likes/dislikes?

Again... just brainstorming some thoughts

we have allot of time so I think we can make/buy some more items??

I was thinking about making 3 a 4 items and buying 3 a 4 little things..... I just love to send a full package!!

if it is too much let me know...

Fair enough, I'm just thinking of other people that may be in other swaps but we should definatly agree on a same item no because we aren't swapping in pairs so it doesn't make things quite so fair if some people agree on more items then others.

Just a thought but buying presents kind of out of context, the point of swaps is to make people stuff...

buying isn't out of the context. there are a lot on here that combine making items and buying items. and I'm one of them! just little things you think would make the other person happy!

well we can do less items if others have a lot of swaps on their hands,I just choose two swaps to do so thats why I was think of more... but I don't think it's a problem if others were thinking about less items!!

michelle, what was the original thought about this swap and the number of presents? your the host, so we will follow your standards! can't wait to get started ♥

hi guys, busy days at the office. I like what jolanda is saying. I have about 4 items made up. they are small items. you can send two big items if you want, ie making a hat and mittens instead of 4 ordiments

I am sending a small package, its all done up!

im sorry im cofused who do i send my package to i know its not done by two that it will all end up to be one big circle but i dont a person to talk to and get to know or find out little things about i do already have two things made but i would like to add in some stuff that when they open it they are like OMG OMG i L.O.V.E it
you now what i mean?

Ok no problemo, just a thought. I'll probably make 4 small things... I can't really think of anything atm though.

Pirate Teensey I am sending to you so you will have to let me know what you like etc etc.

But you are sending stuff to Michelle...
