How excited am I that I've already started my questionnaire?! 

[Some_Girl]

woohoo! I'll be filling mine out . . .ready to send it in after work tomorrow! Darn work interfering with my crafting addiction 

[Tero]

ummm and just when I said I was done with swapping for awhile. I just found the book though and have started reading it last night so this might just be meant to be.

[goodmorningstarshine]

Excellent! I have one swap-ee, one filling-out-ee, and one think-ee in about an hour and a half! We're doing great!

[funkyteal]

I'm filling one of these out, I'll be done not too long from now.

So excited!  First swap I've ever done.

[lariarocket]

I'm all set to send it in, just waiting for the appropriate time. 

[jeannebaby1]

Sent info in.....Can't wait! Have to go and brain storm about this one. It won't be hard coming up with ideas, just narrowing them down.

[goodmorningstarshine]

Did you all see the gallery from the last swap? I wasn't around Craftster back in 2006, but there was some pretty cool stuff. The gallery's here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=89181.0

I think the cleverest item of the whole swap was the item below by Pumper. I'm usually not one for lifting other people's ideas, but this is so clever I may need to make something of a similar nature for me and my swap partner.

[Liralen]

Oh my gosh!  I'm totally going to have to join this swap.  However, I'm going to have to wait until I get another swap out of the way.  But this gives me incentive to send out early.  I'm so glad that there is a month of sign up time.  Hopefully it will give me time to read the book as well.

I think I'll wait to send in my form until I am done with my other swap.
