Bookmark Swap- Rd. 2 SENDOUT DATE HAS CHANGED!!! IT IS NOW: 1/19/10

[PirateColey]

I'm in for a full group and am fine with the deadline... but if you need to move it that'd be fine... I'll just send early! 

Not that I need any more book marks... I may have to take a picture of my collection, since obviously you would all understand and appreciate it. lol. No one will buy them for me anymore... They say I have enough... but you really can't have enough, can you...?

Sent in questionnaire. I am fine with the deadline. I went for either group. Wherever they want to put me is fine.

I'm the dummy that thought 10 days was too short   But then you guys helped me realize that we are making bookmarks, and not huge craft intense pieces of gallery quality work. So if no one expects the Mona Lisa and will be happy with a well done bookmark, then I'm up for the group option. And don't get me wrong, I will do my best, I don't think this is an "easy A" type swap

Wow!  This is the 5th Swap I've organized, and I've never had so many people sign up so fast!!!  I feel so popular getting so many PMs today...  Hehehe...

Also, it's lovely to see so many new friends from around the world joining in, and so many swappers in the US willing to ship international in this swap.  Believe me, I know how tight money can be, but I think this is a great swap to get to do with someone far away, without breaking the bank.

Hi!

I've just sent in my questionnaire. I'll be travelling during the craft time, so you'll get a bookmark from somewhere in Asia. I do ATCs when travelling and I just love it. This one will be fantastic fun, I'm sure.

YAY!  I'm so excited that we are already getting so many peeps!

[jennieingram]

Hi everyone!  So, I'm starting my swap record, and I just realized that I forgot a question in my questionnaire... Do you smoke?  Very important for people with allergies.  If you've already signed up, and you do smoke, please PM me to let me know.  If you don't, you don't have to bother to let me know.  :-)  Thanks everyone!

I think your concern is valid - 10 days isn't very long if you need to go out to get more supplies or can only craft during the weekend or want make something special or especially tailored to your partner's preferences! On that note, I'll be sending my questionnaire in, but have not decided yet to do a single partner or a group.

Personally, if I'm doing paper or fabric bookmarks, ten days is enough.  If I'm doing cross-stitched detailed bookmarks, it might not be.  I do have three kids at home under the age of five, so my crafting has to be easy/quick while they're awake or it has to be saved until they're sleeping.  That said, I'm not really worried about not finishing in ten days, although I do have another swap partnering on the same day.  I have quite a bit more time for the other swap, though.
