I dont have it either :-) I'm waiting for delivery of my buttons so as soon as they come i shall send them out to everyone. They look lovely and i hope i will have a good mix for everyone. If you're still waiting of people to fill places my sister has just joined the site but so far only has two posts (not as chatty as me ;-) if you were willing and ok with it she could fill a space in one of the girls groups?
scrapperkat
10-12-2005, 03:02 PM
Little Lamb - okay that shouldn't be a problem. Blossoms is filled, and possibly one other, I'll let you know (just sorting out what everyone is doing.)
Have I included everyone? Let me know if I've missed anyone!
Once each group fills I'll send you my address, we're nearly there guys be patient!
lap1926

scrapperkat
11-12-2005, 09:04 PM
Right everyone!
I have sent everyone in Girls group 1 my name and address. Let me know if any problems! Oh and I have asked for two first class stamps to post your goodies back to you but if you are doing more than one group please allow three or four stamps. I'll return any not used!!!!!
The spaces left are: boy metal embellishments x 2, boy eyelets (due to someone having to drop out - was there someone who originally requested this?), boy rubons, girl rubons and girl diecuts. SO NOT A LOT TO GO!!!!!!!!!
katie squirrel
11-12-2005, 09:26 PM

LadyScrap
18-12-2005, 02:14 PM
Glad you got them and all ok. I was a bit worried.
I have never cut so many out in one go, and my poor hand certainly did suffer. I think I am going to be on the look out for a Pink Squeeze in the NY as they reckon they are much easier to use. Shall have to have a look on Ebay and see whats about.
Have a great week everyone. This is the last Sunday before Christmas yikes !!!!!
I'm working on mine slowly, as I'm down for TWO sets for this swap!!!!
And I've spent all this weekend die-cutting for family Christmas cards.........

Haven't been shopping yet as have back problems at moment and sinsus headaches, hoping to go on Wednesday to get Girl metal embellies.
scrapheather
19-12-2005, 11:46 PM
Is there any places left on this swap?
Looks like metal embellishments for boys group 1 or rub-ons for girls group 2 left.
There's a list on the first page, and the spaces left are in blue. It says metal embellishments for boys group 2 are also available, but smartiepants indicated about 4 posts back that she might be picking that one up.
Hope this helps.....

I'm glad they arrived OK Kat - ooh its exciting now - can't wait!!!
Sorry for holding a couple of the groups up on here. Had a few probs at home over Christmas, which meant I've had to work on my die-cuts since I went back to work. Meant to put them in the post yesterday, but grand-daughter had to go to hospital (has kidney problems, so high temps have to be checked for urinary infections) and I totally forgot when we got home. And I forgot to take them to work today (only realised at lunch when I got to the PO and they weren't in my bag!!!!)
Rang hubby and asked him to post for me, but got home just after PO closed to find he hasn't done -- couldn't figure out my instructions about the return postage and didn't want to phone me back!!!
Hopefully I've now explained it to him, as I'm in meetings all day tomorrow so can't get to the PO -- so I'm at his mercy again. But I just might get home in enough time to get to the PO before they close if he bottles out again, as the last meeting hopefully won't run on with it being a Friday :blink:
Hope you'll all forgive me :(

NO!!
joke - there are far more important things in life than swaps sounds like you are just getting your priorities right - there is no hurry as far as i am concerned so dont get too stressed - hope the meeting goes well and doesnt go on to long - also hope you have a nice weekend to look forward to - some scrapping at least
take care

Hi
I received my goody bag this morning. Thanks for organising this swap Kat and thanks to all those who took part. I have found some uses for some of the things I received already.
kate2962
14-01-2006, 01:58 PM
mine arrived this morning too - thanks Kate for organizing and also to everyone in the group as there is teriffic stuff in there
Scrappin Sarah
14-01-2006, 10:35 PM
Can't wait to receive mine - its so exciting!!!
Well, mine definitely went in the post on Friday. I managed to find some stamps around the house, so all hubby had to do was take it in to get a certifcate of posting! They went first class, but anything posted late in the day (after 3pm!) round us seems to take an extra day to arrive at the moment, and he was at the dermatology clinic all morning :( Hopefully they will arrive on Monday!?!?!?
I'm hoping some of you find uses for some of the die cuts... I had hours of fun cutting them, but hubby and son thought I was nuts doing so many of the same thing (especially as one lot for the girls is the same as for the boys, with some of the bits done in a different colour to change the 'sex' of them!)

cheryl i'm sure they will be lovely... :D i'm really glad i joined this swap even though it was at the end...! (i'd assumed it was full for ages...) i just hope the group 2 boys arn't disappointed with my tiny bag for them... metal embellishments.... i guess that is why that category had stayed empty for a long while - you don't seem to get that much for your money... :unsure:

you don't seem to get that much for your moneyI had the same problem so went slighty over with the price. :rolleyes:

Theresa I'm in group 2 boys and whatever you've given is going to be super. They are expensive as I know I had a little look for them when I joined this swap.
katie squirrel
15-01-2006, 06:41 PM
Dont worry theresa.... I have no idea how you can get metal embellies for 10 bags for a fiver!>?!?? Am sure they will be fab - cant wait to get mine.... am doing my first cj to do with mums of boys so for once I have pretty good timing!! lol!
theresa b
15-01-2006, 06:49 PM

15-01-2006, 06:50 PM
Shes in my team but hasn't been on the team thread for ages.Infact I'm in kats team so she knows her too. :rolleyes:
I know metal embellishments are expensive, but couldn't take that one on as they're really hard to find around me and I didn't fancy trying to get them on-line :(

Mine arrived yesterday, thanks eveyone who particpated. It was a lovely goodie bag and I received lots of things I havent got.
It's a lovely way of builing your stash up isnt it? Especially as I had a new grandson last month and have taken some great photo's.
Well Done Everyone !!! and Well done Kat for organising, really appreciated !!!
scrapperkat
16-01-2006, 02:02 PM
I'm glad everyone's enjoying their bits!
I received cheryls die cuts today so that's another group completed. We are just waiting on heathers bits so I've pm'd her, she hasn't been around for a while, but has popped on today so hopefully she'll see it soon.
I will hopefully post out the girl group 2 this afternoon, else I may do both groups tomorrow.
Theresa don't worry your bits are lovely. I'm sure everyone will be happy with their new stash :)
Thanks for letting me know mine got there (eventually!) -- I will now stop nagging hubby, as he's been very evasive when asked for the certificate of posting (have a feeling he may have forgotten to get one :( )

Do we get a rating for taking part in the swap? and do we have to rate anyone?
Re swap feedback
As I understand the rules, 1 person (and 1 only) should leave for the host -- which Scrappin Sarah says she has done
It is then up to the host as to whether or not they want to go to the trouble of rating everyone who took part. I've had for some of the other swaps I took part in, but don't think I've had for all of them.....
scrapperkat
18-01-2006, 02:23 PM
Oh of course I'll rate everyone!
I've had trouble posting two so far - Jacquelines (I keep going out without your address :( Sorry) and stephs (I somehow lost your stamps standing at the PO and I didn't take and change so I'll buy more today or tomorrow and post it!) hopefully they'll forgive me!
I spoke to craftycuthbert she is just sending her bits so sorry Boy group2 hopefully it should come any day now.
kate2962
18-01-2006, 03:25 PM
That's great thanks Kat -i didn't do it for the rating but as i have been involved now in several things sometime i get rated and other times i dont so wasn't sure how it worked!!

happy to go along with what the majority wants... just really could do with the bits though... am already on journal number 3 in the CJ I am in... and was hoping to have these embellies to use..... perhaps if dont hear from heather... either just go with the 9 lots back or if someone wants to step in I am not bothered either way..
scrapperkat
03-02-2006, 10:22 PM
Heather has pm'd me to say the bits were in the post today. Again, so sorry everyone for the delay, will post them out asap after I receive them.
