Details
{by PhantomPhan}
This swap is for anyone who'd like to get a collection of travel themed embelishments (just think of the use you could put them to with holidays coming up!!!). This could include brads, eyelets, ribbon, charms stickers etc. No round brads or plain items allowed. If you choose to do ribbon you will need to purchase a minimum of 10 metres split into 1m lengths.
Let me know what you're buying so we can keep everyone different! Label them with your UKScrappers name and your group number, and then send them to me. I'll do the rest (although it would be really helpful if you could include a label with your name and address!).
I'll do 3 groups of 10, but if there's enough demand I wil go to 4 groups, and that way I can split up any duplicate themes.
Completion By:
Send by 21st April 2006 in order for completion on 29th April 2006 (or as soon as each groups' are received)
**Please leave the first message below this for the host to post!**

Hi all
Firstly thank you for looking at my first swap that I have hosted, so please be gentle with me. I am initially do 3 groups of 10 people, but if the need arises then it will go to 4. When you pm me with your details could you please let me know what you are going to buy so that I can ensure there are no duplications, therefore I may rearrange the groups at any time.
For your items, you will be looking at spending around £5 on your swap stash to split between the 10 people in your group.
Also, please remember to send a return paid envelope or postage stamps to cover the return costs with your package and write your UKS name real name and group number on the package too.
Also, when you pm me can you let me know your address, strictly for my records.
Many thanks and have fun
Karen

Hiya Karen , puchased mygoodies late last night, actually thought Id posted here what I got but I didnt so I will now !!
I will be sending eyelets - seashells and suns, I also purchased some plain blue ones (thinking blue for the sea..!) but then re read the swap details and noticed that there should be no plain items. If its OK I will pop these in anywayas an extra and will die cut some letters for everyone to spell Travel / Holiday etc - any ideas from anyone as to other words would be gratefully received and I will pop these in with the eyelets. Does this sound Ok?

Am about to go and pm you all my addy. Thanks to those who have snet me their addy, but for those of you who haven't can you please send it to me so that I can get organised - this is just for my reference and willnot be passed to anyone else.
Well my mini postcards arrived today and i love them - they are just like minature postcards with writing and stamps on the back - hard to describe but I hope you love them as much as I do.
Anyway gonna go and pdate my other swap!!!!!

Hi,
Thanks for letting me join in swap - can't wait for the hols season to start :) Just realised that the vellum I said I can do is 12x12 sheets, so everyone in group 2 would need to send a large enough envelope for 12x12. Is that going to be ok for everyone?
PhantomPhan

Welcome Emma - thanks for joining
Debbie - that's fine I'm sure noone will mind at all!!!!
eblondie26

I'm going to cry :( had a big order placed with a us company for lots of stash, including my travel embellies.....anyway the order arrived today, but half of it's on backorder.....the papers I've been waiting on to do a lo, my travel embellies & some other embellies I was waiting on are all out of stock, the stuff I wasn't too bothered about of course is the bits that arrived in a nice big box today....was all excited untill I opened the box....now very disappointed :(
Was no shipping date for stuff on backorder, so might have to look elsewhere for my swap stuff :(
So please bear with me!
PhantomPhan
29-03-2006, 09:28 PM
Don't worry Edwina, it happens to us all - just keep me up to date and if we have to push the date back slightly I am sure everyone will understand - I know it has happened to us all before

Hi - just discovered that my parcel - which was due to arrive while I was away on holiday - has been lost in the post, and the supplier is now out of stack and not getting any more in - so I am going to have to trawl around to find something else too. This has never happened to me before - I am mortified! So sorry to everyone and promise I will get something sorted asap.

My goodies went out yesterday too. Each baggie has a label on with the words it contains, they are all the same except Beckies who asked for a specific title.

I received my goodies today ......
Have to say girls - i have taken part in many a swap but this is the first swap that i have truly enjoyed every single thing i got back. (usually there is 1 or 2 things that dont suit my style).
Big thank you to you all and to our fab host for organising the swap - thanks!!!!
Particularly LOVED your die cuts cw18 what a fab selection.
:-)
Glad you liked them..... I always worry with doing die cuts that they may not be to anyone else's taste :unsure:

I totally agree with this - my bag of goodies was waiting for when I came home today - the third really good thing to happen today. Love them all - but especially the die cut letters - they look just fantastic laid out - can't wait to use them!
Thanks everyone for a fantastic selection and of course to Karen for being a fab host.
