Newbie Vs. Vet Swap (NEW)

Welcome newbies
Tuffdy just to answer your question about the 5 things make 3 rule is new.You'll be among the first to run this one.The thing won't be a surprise the delivery will.As ever talk to your Vet and check out how they would like to proceed with this.
This is a change to make you think what you can do.In the past we've had some problems with people not finishing this swap and a common theme was they hadn't thought of the items they were prepared to put the time into making.
Part of this swap is getting to know your partners interests but also finding out whether you have the time available for this and future swaps.

Ok Thanks, now all I need is a partner.

I started the newbie swap with TE5, but she is not able to complete it just now, so it has been postponed indefinitely....

Sent Gypsie Moon her package today!

I found out I can ship internationally.

Mailed off Oddbreeds package yesterday, but it wont go out until today... oh wait.. actually with it being a voting day... idk if it will go out today! Ugh!

Ok, ladies. I've updated the list.

Also, I was thinking about ways to make newbies easier to pair, so I added their avatar/link to their profile in the list so that a vet can easily contact them without having to search through the thread for their link. Some people use the same screen name, so I didn't want any confusion.

I figure once they're paired up, each party will know where to find their partner's info, so to save space on the post (and work for me, lol) I'll leave the paired up group as it is for now.

Ya'll let me know what you think! Also, if there are any other questions that haven't been answered yet, let me know. I saw a couple of recent questions, but they seem to have been answered already (Thanks girls!) I just don't want our little newbies to think I'm ignoring them!

Ok! Happy Swapping!

Good idea Dessah H, makes it easier for vets to find a newbie like me ^^

Tuffdy do you still need a vet?

I'm happy to swap with you if you want?

May I just say Dessah this thread is looking rather fantastic these days! x

yes I still need a vet and I would love to swap. Thanks!!!

Ok Dessah. Tuffdy and I are going ahead on the swap

Thanks for the update Minnie...and the compliment!

By the way, I took off the "hall of fame" list. I changed my mind about wanting to keep up with these names. Sorry! I just keep worrying that I've missed somebody, and I don't want it to be incomplete...

I welcome someone else to pick that idea up on a different thread if they want to!

Personally, I think it should be each swapper's responsibility to list their swaps on their profile page. It's just too much for one person to keep up with. If you're a vet like me, it is a bear to go back through all the threads of swaps and make a list of the ones you've been in (I couldn't remember all of them off the top of my head), but it wasn't as bad as I thought. If someone is new to swapping it'll be easy for them to update it on their profile as they complete each swap. Just my two cents.

I just got my package from Lima!!!and its awesome!!!
The cutest little purple elephant:

Awesome key chain!

Cool Happy Three Friends bracelet-which I'm never taking off again!

The coolest Florence and the Machine vinyl record decoration!!!


Awesome pair of sock gloves(I love the pattern so much,its so cute)
