Hello all... this is my first time organising a swap, so please be gentle with me :)

There will be 3 groups of 10.

[PhantomPhan]

Can't believe I missed this ............ can you let me know if you another ........... please. Think I am too new to host one? what do you think?

[AJH]

Hi Karen , just to let you know that in the swap rules (at the top of the swaps page there is a thread) there is this ruling :

You must have a positive swap rating (i.e. taken part, completed and received a positive rating for a swap hosted by another UKScrapper) BEFORE you can host a swap yourself.

Hope this helps

xxx

[Looby Lou]

Thanks to every one for getting back to me with their colours :)

I can' remember who I have and haven't sent my addy to, so if you still need it could you PM me please?!?!?

Thanks heaps
Lou

[Ali M]

Lou...ive been and bought my yellow today ,but now i see that Scrappercat has also got yellow down..sorry...do you want to change us about or shall I drop out?
xx

[scrapheather]

Quick question, when I went to get my ric rac today there was some beautiful beaded ones.. are they okay to use on LOs?

[Looby Lou]

Ali M, I have moved you to a different group... :)

Heather, I can't see why you wouldn't be able to use beaded ric rac... suppose it depends on what kind of plastic it is... if you keep it off photos there wouldn't be a problem

[Ali M]

Thanks Lou..
will get mine in the post tomorrow or monday

[NELLIS10]

Lou, ric rac has arrived so will get it in the post this weekend at the latest. :D

[Ali M]

could some one pm me Louises addy so i can post today please??

[Looby Lou]

Hi all...
I am going to my parents tonight so won't be back online until Sunday evening...
Will PM my addy to those who have mentioned they don't have it...
