considering........ ..

just checking in......  been out of action for the past two weeks and out of town this weekend, but never fear partner... you will receive your package on time.

I don't think you'll know for sure until you start signups.... Maybe make it conditional, unless X number sign up, it won't happen?

I'm not receiving notification of anything.....  not the new craft swaps, swaps I'm in or have posted to or anything for which I had selected notify. 

If I click 'notify' I get the standard "do you want to disable notify?" so I know I had enabled it before....

anyone else having this problem?

I'm still here - dealing with medical issues so no crafting yet, although ideas and planning are ongoing.

FABULOUS!   Love the teacher fabric.

DEFINETLY skill level....... after looking at the last swap gallery, I am really intimidated and not sure I could even think of being good enough to participate in this swap....

Yeah, it is not so much that we have snow, it is the fact that we have snow after snow after snow. Add in the temps that have stayed 10-15 degrees lower than normal, toss in curvy mountain roads, some with 80 foot plus straight drop on one side and you begin to see the toll it is taking on us.

Our state has already run out of money for snow removal and we are predicting much, much more snow.

On the frugal crafting note, I am trying to stay a bit warmer by crocheting on the blanket I began in 2002? 2003? Maybe 2004?

Anyway, it is waarmm.

where are you?

-snip-My issue with dishwasher soap is that I try to be eco-friendly by buying the phosphate free stuff and it isn't very cheap.  I just bought a bag of 24 tabs last night for $4.97 - I run my dishwasher almost every day so it lasts me under a month.  That's the cheapest I've found eco-friendly dishwasher detergent, too.  I know I can get cheaper stuff that isn't eco-friendly but part of the problem is that the smell drives me crazy!  I had Cascade tabs for awhile and I could smell them when I came into the house.  I'm very scent sensitive unless it's a natural smell - essential oils or spices.  Anyway, I guess I'll just keep spending a bit more on that until I find a safe recipe to make my own.

Have you tried cutting the tabs in 1/2 and only using 1 part?  I'd try it. If you dishes still come clean, that would cut your expenses in half.

All righty... I might still be in on this one, but I'm (surprise!) getting married the week after the proposed swap deadline How stupid an idea would it be to do the swap? I don't know...I'm still deciding!

might be a way to get something you need for the wedding?  or for an attendant gift?

something else to think about....
