It's time to pay tribute to Bender, Claire, Allison, Brian, and Andrew and showcase your craftiness. Sign-ups are from 10/7 to 10/15 and send outs are 11/22. This means a month of crafting time, but please remember to stay in contact with me. If we have a large amount of participants, I will have weekly check-ups each saturday night. You will make 1 large item and 2-3 smaller items, but you can do more if you and your partner agree!!

[krafty_kelly]

Really thinking hard on this on.  I have 2 swaps left to finish at the moment...hmm...??

[IceCreamCone]

This is gonna be awesome!

Oh and you might want to change your 'send out' date.
Right now it looks like you only have five days to craft before mailing out (sign ups end on 10/15 and mail outs are by 10/20, heh).

[Kpuppy]

Just FYI, on the details of the swap, you have s/o's as 10/20 instead of 11/20....it is right at the top of the post, so it shouldn't matter too much...just a heads up!

I'm in two swaps right now, but I want to sign up for this! If I can send out both packages before 10/15, I might sign up!

[offnlalaland54]

[offnlalaland54]

1 big item (usually 1-2 hours of work put in)
and 2-3 smaller, quicker to make items. 

[ShaynaYasha]

Just PM'd you.... I'm in.

[Teeisme]

I'm toooo excited!!  It's almost the 20th!!!  I've got a portion of my stuff already made, lol.

[Sabertooth Pixie]

OMG! I'm so excited for this! When do we get our partners?

[offnlalaland54]

Sorry guys, my dad's been in the hospital so i've been majorly distracted. things are looking better, though, so i can try to return to normal life again. you will get your partners tonight and if u didn't see, i extended send-outs for two days, as i didnt intend to wait this long to give partners. thanks for your patience!

[Teeisme]

We're ready when you are hon. (Prayers said)

[Sabertooth Pixie]

yeah...definately take your time! I'll be praying for your dad! <3

[krafty_kelly]

So how is everyone's crafting going?  Send outs are next week.  Eeep!!!  I have some fantastic ideas floating around in my head.  Hopefully I'll get them all worked out this weekend.

[Sabertooth Pixie]

I almost have the biggest item done...it has takn me forever because I keep having to redo things...but I am so proud of it! I have a few littler ideas milling aroiund in my head...but I'm not really sure...Good thing it's almost the weekend...!

[Teeisme]

I'll be shipping late today or in the morning.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[DahliaFerrari]

Sent Monday, so I hope it gets there soon!

[krafty_kelly]

Me too   

I sent mine today.  Now the anxiety is setting in!

[Sabertooth Pixie]

I am going to be about a week late sending...but I hope it will be worth the wait!

[Teeisme]

Saber, you should PM our organizer, Offnlalaland. She might not see your message here.

[Sabertooth Pixie]

Yeah I have already done that a few days ago...but thanks for making sure!

[prettyandpetite]

I sent today, late due to scummy Post Office services and ruralness! Waaah, it might take 6 - 8 weeks to ship from England to USA, surface mail. Me and My swap partner used the cheapest postage, so we don't mind though ^.^ Weee, so excited! 

[krafty_kelly]

Has anyone recieved yet??  Is there a gallery?

[Sabertooth Pixie]

I dunno...I wanna see everything!

[DahliaFerrari]

OK, why doesn't the person who receives first set up a gallery? I sent to krafty_kelly on the 20th, but it probably will be a few more days yet getting there because it has to go to another country, and I've no way to check on it because there's no DC number.

[krafty_kelly]

If I recieve first, I will definitly be posting.  I sent out on the 22nd and I'm in the same boat.  Its going to another country, so its more or less wait and see.  Its been my experience it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, and with the holidays I anticipate it will be even longer.

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has come up with for this one.

[krafty_kelly]

I have recieved from the wonderful DahliaFerrari!!  I guess I will be starting a gallery.  I hope its not hard  !!  I will take some pictures of my lovely stuff tommorrow when the light is better.  Though right now its snowing pretty hard, I hope daylight will prove to be nicer.

[princess_me]

why doesn't anybody start a gallery?

Here's the gallery ladies and gents!

[PinkMafia]

The organizor has went missing and has negatives so I need a volunteer to step up and finish organizing OR I will can do it if no one wants to. Please post by Monday evening or I will be the new organizor.

the new organizor will have the following responsibilites:

1. track who has shipped and received (make a list so I can check on it)
2. supply me with names for all participants so I can give appropriate feedback.
3. get angels for anyone who needs them
4. contact me when the angel package is received so I can give the angel proper feedback and FOC.

Thanks!!

[Sabertooth Pixie]

What do you mean she's gone missing...? I just PMed her a few days ago and asked her what was up with the swap and no one recieving and she said she didn't know but she sent last monday...

[DahliaFerrari]

Dunno...it seems like everyone's just kind of confused because there's no visible master list right now of who has sent or not. Still, krafty_kelly at least picked up the slack on the gallery end of things.

[PinkMafia]

She has negatives and is no longer allowed to organize. Someone can step up or I can take over.

[krafty_kelly]

This is just terrible!  I hope this swap turns out okay.  I was really pleased with what I sent to my partner, and really please with what I recieved.

I don't mind organizing.  If everyone wants to PM me with their status.  I'll post it at the beginning of the gallery.

I'm off work until Friday and then I'm out of town, so I should be able to figure out where everyone is by then.

[PinkMafia]

krafty_kelly is the new organizor. Please communicate with hre about if you've shipped and/or received. thanks!

[krafty_kelly]

I have updated everyone's status in the beginning post of the gallery thread.  If there is anything incorrect, please let me know.
