yay, I have joined too, looks like fun, now I need to make my list so I can claim and start the inchie making fun...

[nilmerg]

Hi Sam, So glad you decided to join us. I'm sure you will love inchies I'm looking at your list and trying to resist claiming you as I think the only inchies that you already own are a set of geocaching and a set of harry potter inchies from me and you surely don't want a 3rd set from me yet! Also I need a few days to recover more from this lurgy before I jump back into crafting.

I'm thinking since there are so many more great swaps running with this round, it may be a bit quieter than the last (which was deliberately designed to fall into that craft lul that usually occurs around december). Hoepfully we will pick up some more players as we go along. And great Job Kimchery getting the swap launched without me, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth, me and my sick bed were very well acquainted for a while there!

[Foxy Sam]

Hi Elaine,
           Thanks, am having fun already, making draft inchies at the moment and sketching out some.  It's such a fun challenge.  You are right they are the only inchies I own, but I don't mind, I love your inchies so completely up to you.  Sorry you have been feeling ill, hope you are feeling better soon.

Piggies and hearts are neat ideas to sketch with, thanks mandys_momma, what great fun...I am loving inchies.

[kimchery]

Well, pretty soon you'll have some Quasior inchies, and who knows from who else.  Every set is different from person to person, and that's why they are so fun.  And addictive.  Foxy Sam, you go geocaching?  That is so neat.  My family just started a year ago, and we love it.  We've only found 60 or so, but its something fun we can all do together.  Hmmm, I think maybe I need to add that to my themes.  I never knew anyone would know what geocaching was, but apparently there are a few, and there's always google. 

I had no inkling this round would be quieter compared to December.  I was expecting more people than in December.  I would love to have more join, but it is true that's there's many great swaps going on.  I never join 5 at once because I like to take 'er easy, but when I am tempted by multiple swaps, I know its just one of those great times of year for swapping.  No matter, cause I know we have a great group already, and there's still 3 and a half weeks for others to get over one swap and take the plunge and sign up for inchies.   

[Foxy Sam]

Thanks Kimchery, I love geocaching - finding interesting new spots to explore and having fun with family, we have done over 200 caches I think, though been a bit quiet lately, Elaine made me beautiful caching inchies as part of my first ever inchies, they are so cool (along with some awesome Harry Potter ones too).

I have had super fun last night and today too so have finished my two sets of inchies for my partners, they took over my whole day...lol...will be posting next time I go past a post box, hopefully tomorrow. 

[nilmerg]

I've done 232 geocaches. But I've only been doing it just over a year myself. My kids are a bit young at the moment and they find it more of a chore than a fun exciting thing to do!

[Foxy Sam]

I have posted both sets of inchies in the mail box yesterday. So hopefully the posties will keep things nice and quickly...
