Newbie Vs Vet Swap (New again)

Hello! I'm not really a Vet or a Newb (somewhere in the middle!) But I'm in between swaps at the moment and would like to do a swap (I was thinking a themed plushie swap with stash?) for anyone who has the time at the moment- preferably someone I havent swapped with before!

Hello there! Eventually I'm back to messaging on the board - I kept having trouble with it even after the website's full update, so it's good to be back. And yes, I'm back! Oh so back! Eventually, if I may add. All my work troubles are behind me right now (or they look like they are anyway, which is a good feeling), I got a new colleague (still liked the older one better, but meh) and I'm almost through all the pain and stress derived from witnessing a friend being run over and killed on New Year's Eve (who am I fooling? I'm far from being over it, but hopefully crafting and swapping will speed up the healing process... Keeping your hands busy always helps). I humbly apologise for the prolonged absence and I heartily thank my wonderful newbies, who patiently waited for me to get back on my feet without complaining. You're truly lovely people. Thank you. So! Time for a full-blown recap and update (brace for impact, Rawr Rawr): ME AND DIZZY DISASTER are almost done: I received from her (here's a pic of what I got, sorry for the poor quality) [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/snewbievsvetswap.jpg/][IMG]http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7181/snewbievsvetswap.jpg[/IMG][/URL] and I sent back to her last week. They were updating the webiste so I couldn't post a teaser, but I'm posting it now. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/snewbievsvetteaser.jpg/][IMG]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6424/snewbievsvetteaser.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Exact same thing goes for ME AND KAT T; this is the awesomeness I received [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/snewbievsvetswap.jpg/][IMG]http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/7181/snewbievsvetswap.jpg[/IMG][/URL] and this is a teaser of what I sent back. Mystery of mysteries... ^________^ [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/snewbievsvetteaser.jpg/][IMG]http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/6424/snewbievsvetteaser.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I'm going to contact ROSIIPOSII and see how she's doing. Until she doesn't formally give up, I'm going to consider this swap active. On the other hand I officially give up on LUNALOVEROSE and RILEY. In the first case I received from her, tried to send back, got returned my items because the address was nonexistent, and every attempt to contact her has since failed. In the second case I never got anything; Riley explained to me and on the board that she has problems with her Mum not wanting her to send out. As this is the second time Riley backs out of this swap (first time was with Essex Debs) I advised her to solve things with her Mum before signing up again for this or for any other swap. Annnnnddd I'm done! Good ^_____^ To sum it up, my only active swap at the moment is with RosiiPosii, and as soon as Dizzy and Kat receive their items, we can be taken off the list. Any newbie waiting for a Vet can message me - I'm baaaaack!!!

Hey! Like I said, not really a newb or a vet, but would like to do a swap asap! PM me an address when you get the time, a local UK would be ideal, but USA is fine if no one else is available.

Hi! I am now doing a Plushie swap with Julie G!

Mary, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend.. I hope you're okay hun *hugs* I'm here if you need someone to talk to..



I'm actually shocked that there haven't been any newbies signing up lately..

Ugh, I totally didnt read Mary's message properly and skimmed right over her terrible news, i'm such a doof!

Mary- so sorry for your loss, i'm sure the girls on here are gonna pull together and spoil you with their swaps- I know I will with mine x

Awww Hayley, don't you worry - right now the less I think about it the better. Keep calm and craft on, right? ^___^

I got your message and will get back to you later today or tomorrow at the latest - sorry for the delay.

"Keep calm and Craft on" I like it! You've inspired me for a new project girl!

No worries on the delay, I know how it is.

i made this last week:

Pretty!

Just wanted to post an update. I'll still be available for swaps, but for the time being, I can't afford to ship internationally unless it is to Canada.

Any newbies from the United States or Canada can feel free to message me if they need a veteran swapper. I'm in school full time this semester so some days I can't log on to check the boards, but messages go right to my email that I can check and reply to on my phone

It won't let me update the info on the first page so I'll have to do it later when the issue is fixed. We have a shortage of newbies at the moment though so I'm not sure how long it'll take for someone to contact you.

Received my package from Lisa C today - and it was amazing

Thank you Lisa!

Wow, that button picture frame looks amazing. Stolen! ^___^

Ok that second picture was supposed to be a close up of the frame but now I can't edit the post! You'll have to make do with another gratuitous kitty shot!
