I have sent in my questionnaire.  I am going to limit myself to 2 swaps from now on.  I was in 5 a few weeks ago, and it was too much.  But this OTT thing swap is perfect!

so, I am alternating between pissed off, and super sad that my packages haven't arrived in New Zealand.  I am in the process of redoing the second package, and should have it sent off within a couple of days.

I will also work to recreate a first package as best I can and hope to get it sent off within a week or so.

I will also be ordering bubblegum_phoenix a little treat from amazon for all of her amazing patience. 

I was pleased with what I made and sent out (and I hope my partners are as well) but after seeing this gallery I think I will have to step it up a notch for the next rounds.

I am *finally* posting a photo of my hoop received from sloth003.

She took inspiration from this item on my wist

And used one of the images to create this wonderful hoop


It's great, and it's up on my hoopla wall!

This sounds great!  I love the idea of a tiny 2" or 3" hoop.

here is my thought on extras...I LOVE TO GIVE THEM.... I LOVE TO GET THEM...... I typically spoil partners, and spoil them WELL...... and when swaps have the "no extra" thing.... it is hard for me.... but rules are rules.....and I think they need to be followed, the organizer wouldnt have them, just for us to break them.....

I dont want to sound like a GRUMP.... because like I said I LOVE EXTRAS.....I guess I look at it as a personal challange not to send anything extra.

I feel the same way.

I know I said I was jealous of my own work and wanted to keep the hoop for tlh878, but I didn't think the post office would deliver it back to my house! I think they misread the declaration slip(it's happened before )

No worries though, it's back on it's way through the postal system.

Weird!  I have never had that occur before.  I am sure it will arrive soon enough though

I received my hoop from sloth about a week ago, but haven't posted photos yet.  I will get on that tonight!

I have also sent my hoop to pugwash, and hope to get sloth's in the mail tomorrow. I am off to send the appropriate PMs.

Still no sign of either of my packages, so whats the deal with me? What should I do so that tlh878 and I get feedback?

I sent a copy of my send receipt of the first package and am looking through my stack of papers to be able to send a copy of my second package.

I feel just sick that my first package didn't arrive.  I wrote 3 pages of info to describe what I sent.  I really hope it still turns up because some of the items can't be recreated.  I can re send the second package though if it doesn't turn up.

I used a type of diaper cover fabric.  It is thin and flexible, but water resistant and easy to wipe down.
