Anybody up for another round of a Jim Henson swap?

[gotgrey]

Anybody interested in organizing another round of a Jim Henson swap?  A post on the Toys, Dolls, and Playthings board inspired me to get my Henson on!     I NEED to make Kermit, Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Bear in the Big Blue House and friends, etc.

I'd LOVE a Jim Henson swap. Life is too crazy right now for me to try to organize, but I'd love to participate!

 The galleries in the past for this have been amazing. If it wasn't a huge swap I would do it.

Were you offering to organize? If not, I could organize if there is enough interest.

[gotgrey]

I hope you can organize spikefan.  I'll sign up.

[gozer]

Oops. Sorry. I have only organized once before and I am currently co-organizing an ongoing swap. I would much rather just participate. 
 What kind of points are you thinking?

[spikefan]

How does 4pts sound, with a one medium or one large requirement? And you can always discuss with your partner if you want to do more.

When would you all want signups, sendouts, etc.?

[gotgrey]

4 points, 1 large, 1 medium, more if you and your partner want more, sounds good to me.  Sign ups whenever is easiest for you. 

[Atellix]

I would definitely be up for this! Count me in!

[spikefan]

Since there isn't alot of interest how does a one week sign-up sound? I was thinking 2/20-2/27 for signups, maybe sooner if I can find the extra time to get it posted. Then 4 weeks crafting time with sendouts on 3/27?

[gotgrey]

Sounds good to me!  Maybe interest will pick up when sign ups go up. 

[jennythor]

AAHH
this one sounds so fun too!
im waiting for one other swap though.
sending out in one this week
and then two more on the docket...
hmmm

[pjr107]

Oh I would love a Henson swap.  Gotgrey.... I'd take a Snuffy off your hands if there are no other takers   Love all your stuffies (the kids still have HUGE discussion on who gets which stuffie from you as I hang on to my toothless going, "he's mine so don't even ask")
OK, this and a dragon swap... my only two swaps for a while....

-pj

[gotgrey]

Oh PJ I would LOVE to be your partner in this swap!  I would be more than HAPPY to make a Snuffy for you!  You and your kids crack me up!  I didn't know they loved the stuffies I made so much, that they have discussions over them!    

[scarlet_nights]

Hey wait a minute yall I organize the Jim Henson swaps. Its etiquette to ask the prior organizer if they want to organize the swap again. I was planing on doing another one after the 2 Im organizing are finished.

[mama24boyz]

I haven't done a Jim Henson swap before but I think it sounds fun!!

[gozer]

When will that be Scarlet_nights? I am trying to organize my swaps so I have enough space for everything.    And how many points did you plan on doing?

[pjr107]

Now ladies.... there is enough of Jim to go around.....no squabbling over him....

hehehehe

[scarlet_nights]

I was going to start signups sometimes in march and it will be 3 points with option for extras.

[gotgrey]

March, 3 points, extras optional sounds good to me.

I was just offering to organize to be helpful since no one else was offering. No one has ever asked me and I don't expect anyone to as I don't own the swaps I organize.

Looking forward to seeing the gallery.

[gotgrey]

Well said Spikefan.  You put it much more elequently than I could have.  Sometimes I let my emotions speak for me, instead of my mind.  I would like to see you join.  Please join!  Don't just stalk the gallery. 

[gozer]

 Three points is perfect! I always see the most awesome swaps but then they make them so large I get intimidated away. You never know how crazy life can get and mine tends to do that.   

[gotgrey]

Believe me gozer, I KNOW how crazy life can get!     Life will just be rolling smoothly along, then, BAM a huge sink hole opens up in the middle of the road and swallows me up!!!   

[Sharalee]

I might like to do this one. I was in one a year ago I think it was. It was a lot of fun!
"Spikefan" Yes I hope you join in, when it open ups!
Yes I too know how life can mess things up & get crazy, but we just have to pull our boot straps up LOL  & move on! 

[tamalama]

I want in on this if it happens, I adore JH.  I really love Pepe the prawn 

[gozer]

 Hello, I was just checking to see if anything else had happened with this swap. I still wanted to do it!

[teapotdnky]

Is there an organizer for this one? I haven't done a Jim Henson swap in years!

[mama24boyz]

That's the tricky question, but I would love to do this one too!!

[gotgrey]

Me three!

[KittyHerman]

I would love a Jim Henson swap

[spikefan]

I've sent a message to scarlet_nights to see if she still wanted to organize, but haven't heard back yet. If she isn't going to organize I'll see about getting a signup started for this.

[gozer]

 I sent one to her last week as well and haven't heard back. Hope all is okay with her!

 And I might not be able to join now. I might be organizing another swap (just mentioned it a couple hours ago onthe board) and with that plus another swap (IYP) I am going to be in I don't think I could do this one now. So much for trying to plan. 

[gotgrey]

Spikefan, it would be AWESOME if you could organize!!!  I would join!  And gozer, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE join!  The more swaps the merrier I always say.   

[gotgrey]

Raise your hand if you would like to be my guinea pig and receive a Kermit plushie, and possibly something quilted.  I'm branching out and trying, gulp, something new.   

[mama24boyz]

I LOVE quilted items!!!  But then I may be hogging you gotgrey 

[gotgrey]

Hog away mama24boyz!   

[spikefan]

I received a message back from scarlet_nights and she is unable to organize right now. I'm able to organize at any time so when would be best for everyone.

I hope you change your mind gozer, we'd love to have you.
 

[gotgrey]

I'm good any time!  Bring on the green!  Er, uh Kermit and his friends I mean.   

[mama24boyz]

Yup, Kermit and all the classic sesame street characters from when I was a kid, not the new stuff and muppet show and fraggle rock and of course LABYRINTH!!!

[teapotdnky]

I can't wait, I've done a few Jim Henson swaps in the past and some of my favorite things I've ever made were for those swaps!

[pjr107]

I need some Henson in my life....
-pj

[calixita]

Fun!!!!  But hopefully not too soon!  I've got 2 swaps to finish and the end of the school year to deal with.  But I love Jim Henson!!

[spikefan]

I was thinking of signups from 4/24 until 5/8, with sendouts on 6/5. Is that too soon? It would only be a 3pt swap with 4 weeks of crafting time. Would that work out for everyone?

[gotgrey]

That would work for me!!!

[teapotdnky]

I'm down!

[spikefan]

Decided to go ahead and get this up while I was getting the Supernatural swap up.

Swap is open! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=422933.0
