Morning everyone !!!!!!!!!!!

[stillcrafting]

Morning. How is everyone today? It's bright and sunny here and I'm off out shopping soon. Been interesting reading the advent polls. Some of the things mentioned I'd either never heard of or never tried.

:thanks: for letting me join in with this swap :wub:

[Hollydot]

Very grey and miserable here, it's so dark it's like night time:o.
Been browsing the sponsors for ideas but think I will wait until I know who my swappee is.

[leigh11]

morning all :D

off out to a Think Pink Sale for breast cancer, so will check in later to make sure everyone is ok :D

[westiegirl]

Morning everyone i have been browsing a few sites getting ideas already

[danyaz]

hi all swappees,
lovely morning here, bit chilly but sunny.
thinking of things to buy also, love checking out the shops.

[CarolynUK]

Been looking around too - think I'll wait for my trip to Holland - the shops there usually have some lovely little bits available - great for this kind of swap... and things I've never seen over here too!

[leigh11]

afternoon all :D

hope you are all well :lol:

[Pennyk]

Evening Swapees I have been to a crop today and a few pretty bits came back with me- I hope I can contain myself and not use them for myself. I hope my swappee like that kind of thing- or do I? LOL

[Hysteri-CAL]

Thats the problem Penny, if I buy stash too early, I'll use it !!! :lol:

[tcoker]

Goodmorning everyone...started looking around yesterday while I popped out before work to the shop and got some ideas of some bits to get...I will wait until I know whom I am buying for because I know I will use what I get if I don't! :lol:

[leigh11]

morning all :D

glad to see everyone getting ready to stalk ;) ;)

we currently have 16 swappees :D :D

[Pennyk]

Morning Swapees, how we all doing this AM?

[Hysteri-CAL]

Morning everyone !

I've got a busy day today, so might not get back on again until tonight.

DS is in hospital (out of town) for the day tomorrow having tests (nothing too dramatic), so I'm having to go and stay at my mums as she lives nearer the hospital. Hence, my postings will be a bit sporadic - sorry Leigh ... but my mum does have internet access, so should be able to log on occasionally !

Will catch y'all later xxxxxxxxx

[leigh11]

no probs hun---we promise not to talk about you ;););)

[stillcrafting]

Do we??????? :wacko: Well, we'll only say nice things :lol:

Good afternoon. I've been busy this morning as I had my 8 month old nephew here without his parents for the first time. I was so pleased to be asked. He's just left and although he was teething, he was really good :wub:

[westiegirl]

afternoon everyone

Very cold blustery day out there today good job i am sat crafting :lol:

Cal hope all goes well for ds and the tests

Waves to everyone

[leigh11]

well, i managed to get a couple of 'non-crafty' bits today ready for my swap :D

[Pennyk]

I have got some more bits today- basic stuff that everyone would surely love.

[danyaz]

evening all, i had my dgd over to stay last night then had to get up at 6am so only got about 31/2 hours sleep, had to take my dd to a dentist in ramsgate for 8am to have 2 teeth removed under sedation, she is ok now.
just put together a wardrobe for dd, her and her bf are now sorting out her room, my bedroom/scraproom is a total mess as i have moved things around and am using an expedit unit as a sort of room divider which gives me extra storage too. looks ok i think.
will take me hours to sort out.

[Hollydot]

You've been busy Jackie :blink:.

Have the in-laws over for dinner at the moment, nice leg of lamb cooking nicely.

[danyaz]

we was going to have lamb but there was no lamb left in asda so oh got pork chops, yummy.

[Hysteri-CAL]

[Silverstar]

Oh b****r !!! :D

[leigh11]

[Silverstar]

I'm so jealous, I bet you'll get some fab stuff, just pack really light or you'll never get it all in.
I went to Canada in August but only got to find one small craft shop as we were so busy doing everything else.

[leigh11]

[Silverstar]

Perfect hols then. Who needs sightseeing anyway ? ;)

[leigh11]

Perfect hols then. Who needs sightseeing anyway ? ;)

[Silverstar]

[leigh11]

good thinking :lol::lol:

[Silverstar]

Glad I'm not the only loonie !! Obviously in good company on here :lol:

[leigh11]

[danyaz]

got some bits and pieces hopefully for my swappee, if not suitable then they are mine, all mine, lol.

[JerseyScraps]

I'm trying not to look at anything till I know who my swappee - otherwise there is twice the temptation for extra stash to fall into the basket:lol:

[Pennyk]

I'm trying not to look at anything till I know who my swappee - otherwise there is twice the temptation for extra stash to fall into the basket:lol:
Oh I thought that was the idea.:lol:

[stillcrafting]

I'm waiting until I know who m swapee is too as I'm sure one or two only digi scrap and I can't justify buying more stash for me ATM :(

[Silverstar]

Ooh Sarah you're being good :D

[Pennyk]

You girls are so very good at resisting temptation!!I think I need a lesson in that.

[leigh11]

i think we all do :lol::lol:

[westiegirl]

I am waiting til i know who i am buying for too i cant afford anything new for me so need to svae what i do have for my swappee how thoughtful is that :lol:

[Pennyk]

I am waiting til i know who i am buying for too i cant afford anything new for me so need to svae what i do have for my swappee how thoughtful is that :lol:
Very thoughtful of you Amanda:rolleyes: watch your halo and give it a bit of a polish.:lol:

[stillcrafting]

That's my reason too. Lack of cash for my own stash plus I really must start using what I have or I'll run out of space

[westiegirl]

I could def do with some new stash for myself but with christmas not bein so far away and limited amount of cash somats gotta give :lol:

Halo has been polished penny :)

I broke down and bought one little non crafty bit today and hopefully it will be suitable for my swappee :)

Asked the girls at the local womens centre where i run a card making group to save me loo rolls, went in the other day to a full carrier bag AND a black binliner FULL of them LOL... looks like everyone is getting loo roll books for xmas this year LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Silverstar]

I'm also saving loo rolls, but I'm making doggie Xmas crackers for the dog welfare charity I work for. Good job it is something people get through isn't it? ;)

[Hysteri-CAL]

:o :o :o :lol:

[Hysteri-CAL]

Ooooh how exciting is all this ................. can't wait for lunch time !!!

[Silverstar]

YOU can't wait:D I'm gutted cos I won't be near a pc until tonight:(

[Hysteri-CAL]

YOU can't wait:D I'm gutted cos I won't be near a pc until tonight:(


Have you not got an alternative email that I can send it to ??

[Silverstar]

'Fraid not cos I'll be working out in the field so to speak, doing the pet behaviour thing so not in one place too long.

[Silverstar]

Thanks for the thought though xx

[Hollydot]

The suspense is nearly killing me....

I have trips to 2 craft shops planned this week so hopefully will be able to buy my swappee some nice bits and pieces.:)

[Hysteri-CAL]

Awww thats a shame Wendy :(

Nicky - even i'm not sure who i'm sending to yet until lunchtime !!

[JerseyScraps]

Just had a thought - you know how you can see who has visited your profile recently. Once we get our swappees perhaps we should also visit other peoples profiles too otherwise it could give it away!

Do you think I might be over thinking this:lol:

[Hysteri-CAL]

I'm visiting everyone as we speak !!! :D

[Slayer Emma]

It's lunchtime..... :)

[Hysteri-CAL]

Emma - i'm giving the last person until just after 1. Apparently she works until 1 on a Tuesday and then spends the rest of the week without internet looking after an elderly relation - so I've decided to give her until about 1.15.

Again, I hope thats ok with everyone ????

[westiegirl]

I think thats fair enough Cal

Getting all excited now he he

I was told in another swap about visiting profiles to go to user cp and then click on edit options and click use invisible mode and then when you go to a persons profile your name doesnt show up

[JerseyScraps]

I didn't know you could do that...you learn something new every day! I have visited a few anyway as I was looking for ideas for the likes and dislikes last night so that should help anyway:lol:

[Slayer Emma]

Sorry, hope you don't think I was being cheeky, I'm just excited!!!

[Hysteri-CAL]

Sorry, hope you don't think I was being cheeky, I'm just excited!!!

Not at all Emma - I just want to be fair to everyone xx

[Hysteri-CAL]

Ok ... i've not heard, so if she wants to take part - then I'll do two swaps.

Right - i'll start PMing everyone now, so check your Inboxes aren't full - quackas in particular !!!!! :lol:

[westiegirl]

Thanks cal

[Slayer Emma]

Do you think you could fill in the rest of the polls please. I can only see what you'd like me to send you on the embellishment and tools ones :D

I'd hate to think that I'd send you something you hated!

[Hysteri-CAL]

Welcome to the Advent Santa xxxxxx

Right ... that should be it - everyone should have their swapees. Any problems then please, please, please do not suffer in silence - any problems or queries then please ask me.

If anybody hasn't got a swapee then let me know - fingers crossed that i've done it right !!!!!!!! :lol:

Right .......... lets all go and do some shopping !!!!!!!! YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hollydot]

[Advent Santa 08]

Santa here, with a message for Sonia2007.

I see you've been very good and filled out all of the advent polls which makes my job so much easier but the elves and I were wondering what non-scrapping things you like.
Do you like makeup, jewellery, scarves, socks etc?

[lacemaker]

Oh Avent Santa I have been a good girl :rolleyes:and have filled them all in. :)In the ribbon one you could only tick one but like all ribbon.
I am sure I will love any thing you send. If there is any thing else would :love: to hear from you
Hugs Daphne

message for carolynuk

hello from a freezing north pole, i am just checking my list and was wondering if you could help me with some information, here are the questions:
1/ i see you like chocolate, any particular brand?
2/ any particular bath goodies you like?
3/ would you like a mixture of gifts or all stash?
4/can you please tell me your top 5-10 items?

and remember i am watching to make sure you are good.

[danyaz]

ooooh, just popped on to see if there was any news as got a few quiet mins before the kids have dinner ( at work), and i have my swappee, hooray, time for shopping now.

[CarolynUK]

Hi there Santa - here are the answers!


1/ i see you like chocolate, any particular brand?
I am a wee bit of a chocoholic and love most chocolate apart from plain - and especially NUTTY chocolate!
Cadbury's/ Galaxy/ Green & Black/ Hotel Chocolat ....... all of them are very acceptable!

2/ any particular bath goodies you like?
I'm a big fan of bubbly baths and love anything that makes lots of bubbles - Lush bubble bars are great but even a Tesco value bubble bath is fun! The smellier the better as DH won't pinch it then! :D

3/ would you like a mixture of gifts or all stash?
A mixture please - variety is the spice of life!

4/can you please tell me your top 5-10 items?
Off the top of my head...
Cats Eye inkpads - I use lots of creamy brown and charcoal - and always run out.
Anything by Heidi Swapp
Blossoms and bling
Milky Bar chocolate
Swirly stamps
Brads
Basic Grey
A white journalling pen which actually works - my faithful sharpie is a bit thick sometimes.

[Advent Santa 08]

Santa is needing Juliwan to please say what types of non crafting goodies you like? Or would you prefer to have just crafting goodies for advent pressies?

[Advent Santa 08]

carolynuk,
thank you for your prompt reply, another quick question;

what scrapping tools/ machines do you have, i.e; cuttlebug, bind it all, etc

[Advent Santa 08]

HO HO HO!!!Santa is very pleased you have filled in all the polls, but has a few questions so he can get to know you a bit better!What sort of music/books/films/TV do you like? Do you like magazines, puzzles anything else like that? Do you have any other hobbies like gardening, playing cards etc?Do you have any pets?What other crafts do you like doing?What ages are your DDs? Santa is getting on a bit and forgets these things!Is there anything else Santa should know about you? Remember he is always watching!Be good, HO HO HO!!!
