[Phizzychick]

Sooooo excited to start this, I went out shopping for bits today, was fun!

[kinkyknit]

OMG.   

OK, I've PM-d Phizzychick and, if she'll have me, I've signed up!

[Phizzychick]

I can't wait, not at all till Friday, so if it's okay with you folks I'll pair up tonight so we can start crafting our Booshy swag. It's a fairly small swap and there's an even number and I think everyone is keen to just get on with it!

I've PM'd everyone that was interested in the idea I think they'd have signed up by now if they were interested!

So, watch out for an update later!

[gemjams]

Ah phizzychick you took the words right out of my mouth! I was just about to post saying that I couldnt wait any longer! And I have wednesday off uni so it will be perfect crafting time!

[Phizzychick]

[Phizzychick]

[gemjams]

Yeah me too! I got tickets yesterday for feb at Wimbledon(where i live) I'm sooooooo excited! I can't wait to see them in the flesh!

[Phizzychick]

I know!! Boosh live = too exciting...not to mention Vince live....mmmmm!

I couldn't get tickets for Manchester...so we're going to Southport (the next nearest place), so it's an adventure as well!

[spyderbaby]

So...if you're really keen to do this swap spyderbaby, I can swap with you too if you'd like? If you PM me your details I'll sign you up, no probs.

thanks, but the timing is all off for me - I have a lot on at the moment, and I'll be going away for the weekend before the deadline.  Plus, I'm notoriously sloppy with deadlines....
Someone make OLE GREGG though, for goodness' sake!  Or the moon...

[Phizzychick]

I was tempted by the mangina (well, not in THAT way) but it'd be way too gross and probably very very innapropriate!!

I love the moon sooo much, though I don't know why! So carefree and yet so full of himself...my boyfriend put shaving cream on his entire face once and did a sketch of him it was way too funny!

[Phizzychick]

...he was in the bath at the time though - it just wasn't right!!

Ah, it's moments like those we'll look back on fondly when we're old!

[spyderbaby]

I love the moon sooo much, though I don't know why! So carefree and yet so full of himself...my boyfriend put shaving cream on his entire face once and did a sketch of him it was way too funny!

Hahaha! Yeah, the moon rules.  "Neil Armstrong, walkin on me face..."

[Phizzychick]

How's it going guys? Since I had no queries about the info when I sent it I'm assuming you're all okay and busy crafting! Still sooooo excited doing this, and in my research I even found a Boosh shop...imagine that!!

[kinkyknit]

Boosh shop? Do tell!

Well, I am busy crafting. I was worried I wouldn't have enough ideas, but when I started writing them down, I realised I had about 20. So it's a case of trying to think what my lovely swap partner would like!

I do have a question, actually.  Do we all send on the 9th, or do we all send to receive on the 9th?

(SO excited! )

[Phizzychick]

I'm loving making Boosh stuff too!

The shop's not 'official' as such, but a few cute items...and lots of ideas... http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=55656

Post out on the 9th. Can't wait to see what you guys have made though!!

[kinkyknit]

OH MY GOD.

I have finished crafting.


_{...but have I really finished crafting?....}

[Phizzychick]

Ha ha, I love that bit!...but do I really love that bit?

Oh yeah, me too, me too!

[Phizzychick]

Okay, at the risk of sounding a tad mental and obsessed...again... I looked at this site: http://www.themightyboosh.inuk.com/titles.html

And it says that the Boosh logo type thing is a yeti. I always assumed it was a monkey, but I guess it could be a yeti seeing as no-one has really drawn one before?!

ps. 2 days to send-outs - yay!!!!!

[BananaAmbush]

Whoa! I always thought it was a monkey, too. Oooooh Phizzychick I just finished a craft for you. I want to show you so bad but it's a surprise! 

[kinkyknit]

ps. 2 days to send-outs - yay!!!!!

I'm ready! I'm ready!

(and trying not to pass out through excitement, and miss the posting day!)

[gemjams]

I'm running a but late kinkyknit    I might have to send it out on saturday because I don't want to rush it and you end up with a rubbush swap! I have done one big piece and one small and started the other big piece but i'm goingto see Lee Evans tonight and won't get back till late! Is it alright if I send a day late Phizzychick?

[Phizzychick]

Yup, that's fine, I'm sure kinkyknit would confirm the same, especially if it means you don't have to rush something! Thanks for letting me know.

You two are so lucky cos you'll get them next week!! It'll be unbearable waiting for the trans-atlantic flights to bring our swap goodies to us!

BananaAmbush - I can't wait to share goodies!!

[Stina]

i can't believe i missed this swap! i will never forgive myself to neglecting craftster the past few weeks. *sob* if anyone's up for a re-run later, count me in!

[PurpleHeather]

Do you guys have a gallery for this one up yet?  I'm intrigued   Noticed that it's on BBC3 late it night, but I'mnormally tucked up safe in bed by then!

[gemjams]

YAYYYAYAYA I received from kinkyknit today!!! I LOVE everything thankyou so much! One problem, my camera has decided to break so did you happen to take any piccies before you sent? Not to worry if you didn't I can borrow my sis's when she comes home in a couple of days.

[kinkyknit]

Phew!  I'm so glad you like your Boosh things!

I did take some photos, is there a gallery yet, Phizzychick? 

[Phizzychick]

There is...oh, err...there was! I'll set up another!

How exciting, can't wait to see!!
