For a wonderful swap experience, communication is the key.  Please keep in touch with your partner.  Further, it would be nice if you would post in this thread at least once a week (you could just stop in for a quick hello.....or if on holiday or will be without internet access or anything of the such, just post a message....it just gives your partner and organizer warm fuzzy feelings to know you are still around).

Personal Messages (PMs)

Notes about Sending, Receiving, and Feedback

• RECEIVING: PM organizer and partner when you receive.  Take pictures of received items. (Please take quality pictures, like ones you would take of your work.)  Post pictures in gallery in a timely manner.
• FEEDBACK: Given when a package is received (verified through PM or DC#) I will be keeping track of what has been received by gallery pictures (This is why it is important for you to take pictures of your items, just in case your partner does not)  *Please PM if there is difficulty with pictures.*  NOTE: Lack of communication and explanation, such as no PMs of sending/receiving, will be noted in your feedback.

YOU MUST BE ABSOLUTELY DEDICATED TO THIS SWAP, IT NEEDS A LOT OF TIME AND CARE INPUTTED. THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP. ALSO YOU WILL BE TIED UP FOR A FEW MONTHS BEFORE YOU WILL GET FEEDBACK.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I can't sign up yet!!!!!!!  I have no space!!!    I need feedback for the Jim Henson swap and then I'll be able to. but I want to sign up now!!! 

[pinkleo]

Don't worry Krafty! Signups will be open for a bit, and there is no limit to participants this time.  So...deep breaths

[boo_zombie]

IM IN!!!! ILL FILL IN THE INFO NOW!! LOL

[Krafty_Karasu]

*inhale*






*exhale*


ok.  at least it will give me some time to come up with some ideas.  besides, I should be getting feedback kinda soon since my partner has sent and I should have it next week.  I'll just die if it turns out that it would be getting delivered tomorrow and I'm not going to be here.  oh well.  that's why the post office let's you fill out a little card telling them you want them to hold your mail.    now the box will be delivered to the post office and it will stay there safely until Monday.

[Krafty_Karasu]

  I JUST REMEMBERED!!!!!!!

duh!  how can I forget where I'm going tomorrow?!?!

my youngest cousin just graduated from high school (makes me feel so old!) and we're going to a party for her...in Chicago!  my aunt, uncle and cousin live there!  tomorrow is just getting there, hanging out then going to dinner.  Saturday is the party.  our plans for Sunday ended up changing.  rather than leaving early in the morning, we're going to this fair or something in Old Town right where the coolest (and only) bead store I've ever been to is.  I'm sure to find something awesome there.    heck, something for all of my swaps! 

[juliminustheE]

[boo_zombie]

[Krafty_Karasu]
