Skippie
17-03-2006, 02:03 AM
Ok possible dumb question here sarah...but I just have to ask :blink:

Are we purchasing £5 worth of embellies and they're going to only one person (like a direct swap, via you) or are they to be split into 10 equal bags for everyone to share?

It's late, that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it :lol:

wssla00
17-03-2006, 02:06 AM
lol me too. Everyone who has pm'd me are splitting into ten equal bags but whatever gets sent to me will be divided up into the group of ten so ill make it work by hook or by crook lol

Skippie
17-03-2006, 02:09 AM

wssla00
17-03-2006, 02:41 PM
lol its quite fun looking you know. I think it reminds me of when i was a kid and had a little stocking to open first at christmas filled with things like dominoes and cards and balls and the like. That was the best!

wssla00
17-03-2006, 02:47 PM
wow that is such a lovelly site! I have bookmarked it! :)

wssla00
17-03-2006, 09:13 PM
OK guys we have some lovelly things coming through... If you want to post what you are getting ill add it to the frount page so you can see the stash growing!

OK guys we have some lovelly things coming through... If you want to post what you are getting ill add it to the frount page so you can see the stash growing!

I have changed my mind on my stuff....*taps finger on nose* so disregard my previous post. If anyone is deperate for the stuff i mentioned it is available from that three coloured US site! lol

wssla00
17-03-2006, 09:39 PM
i have just been approved for another swap it is a 6x6 page kit swap if anyone wants its here http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/...ad.php?t=99950

lol not a prob a womans perogative to change her mind i have done that many times today :)

Lynne W
17-03-2006, 09:59 PM
just saying hello, so I can bookmark this thread. No idea what i'm sending yet, have to go shopping!!! :D

wssla00
17-03-2006, 10:01 PM
lol great welcome! :)

AJH
17-03-2006, 11:50 PM
Im sending the following (all unaltered) each bag will have the same sort of mixture:

clock faces, guitar picks, few bottle caps each and some clear coloured small discs.

Thats what Ive bought anyway but will have a rummage and see if I have anything else I can add from my stash.

Hope these are OK for everyone.

wssla00
17-03-2006, 11:56 PM
They sound great :)

Skippie
18-03-2006, 01:04 AM
OK...I'm getting angry with myself....have just bagged up 10 seperate bags of things up, each with a mixture of embellies....then re-read the first thread! Am I packing 10 bags to be sent to each member in the group or one bag of goodies to be sent for one member ?

OMG I think I actually asked this last night...new excuse, but genuine. My Fibro is really giving me gip tonight :(

wssla00
18-03-2006, 01:10 AM
10 bags are great :) but if you want to just send it in a lump then ill sort it out. not a prob

Skippie
18-03-2006, 01:13 AM
:wub: you are one in a million and even though I'm sat here in pain you've just made my day :D

Was worried about it only being for one person and the poor so and so ending up with hundreds of things :lol:
I have sorted mine into 10 different bags :)

I can continue with my quest now....farewell fair maiden :lol:

oh and ta muchly :P

just_gilly
18-03-2006, 12:19 PM
flipping 'eck you are gonna have a right headache Sarah when you get all the stuff, I better rethink my stuff cos I was just doing one package, I'll piece together 10 smaller ones now, will have amongst other bits and bobs, some altered slide mounts, decorated bottle caps, clips, poker chips, mini dominoes

wssla00
18-03-2006, 02:33 PM
Not a prob ill organise it all and make up any deficits from my own stash so everyones equal. If its easier for you if you just want to sent the postage stamps i can get jiffy bags from poundland so it saves you having to send that along side your swap to save the weight.

just_gilly
18-03-2006, 06:22 PM
you could probably reuse the envelope/jiffy bag that we send the stuff in, if we send our name and address on a bit of paper or something to stick over the top.

wssla00
18-03-2006, 08:31 PM
Thats a good idea :) Im so dozy today

Everyone say hi to my adodtpee Audrey (Poet Crafty) she is joining us for the swap

Hi Girls! I was looking through my tins this afternoon and once I split the wooden discs between them there will still be space....I got a bargain on some round (unused!) beer coasters so will add a few to each tin as well to bump it up a bit! I have gone over the budget but got the tins & coasters in bulk so don't mind adding on!

This swap is such FUN!!!

Skippie

Even tho' I've been telling the world about the wee Scottish site - I've actually ordered my stuff form the OTHER site - too do with colours etc - couldn't resist the name strangely! ;-))

Could you add me to another group too please?? - its too good an opportunity to miss out on - means I can go back and check out my recommendation again.... :-)

A quick question - I know we need to stay below the £18 level to avoid being stung with duty - could you tell me what amount that is approx in dollars? My exchange brain isn't working tonight - how long does the stuff usually take to arrive???

wssla00
19-03-2006, 11:50 PM
Ill add you all :)

It is 31 dollars 60

Righty Ho!

Went to a Garden Centre at the weekend and found they now have a large craft area and some goods reduced in the sale, to boot :D

I have bought a large jar of "artistic quality glass mosaic tiles lightweight for all craft projects" in various shades of blue, so we should all get quite a few. Apparently they can be altered too, although I haven't tried this. Also found some spare bottle tops for altering that I can include.

Hope that's ok - if so, I will be bagging and posting them this week.

Getting excited now! :lol:

If they still haven't come by the end of the week I'll try and get more stuff off to you, but there won't be as much as I sent. There was a CD to alter, bottletops, Pegs, Dragonflies, Butterflies and a few other bits and pieces. Really disappointed it's gone walkabout!:(

Sorry folks - I had to go away unexpectedly and have just got back. I was going to send all the same thing - but is everyone sending a mixture- not sure if I'm doing this right. Will go and get some more bits so they are different if thats whats meant to happen.

Don't worry, I sent all the same, unusual brads, and I thought you would want more that one so each person gets about 6 I think! Its so hard to do it for a fiver though, mine went up to six but could easily have gone twice as high!

Hiya - it's been a frantic couple of weeks the last two of term and I've been away for a few days so I've not been on here much.
Having recommended the scottish site I ended up being lured into ordering from the multicoloured one, however I then got an email on the 19-3-06 to say it would be 7-10 days before my order was posted - 16days later - nothing - I've just emailed them to chase them up.
I think I'll probably do an order from the scottish site plus a couple of bits I've collected along the way but just to let you know I haven't forgotten...

04-04-2006, 11:32 PM
Not a prob guys. I understand the probs of the prices ive spend way over the fiver on each groups im in but its cool :) and the probs of posties. Honestly natalie its not a prob. Ill chase it up this week but im at work till friday and i can do it then

wssla00
11-04-2006, 06:41 PM
Great :) Recieved a package from moonstone this morning :) I was very cheeky and got the harry potter one for me in my group.

I was looking through the packets and i must say that everything that has come through is absolutely wonderful you are all such great swapees.

I do however have to let you know that some people arent sending enough postage. There is so much stuff coming through in each group that one stamp wont cover it. So all people left to send it i would say it will cost at least a quid postage. Any extra and i will put back in your packs.

I just wanted to share a few suprises and teases for you as well... i wont say what groups they are from there a a mixture from all groups just to keep you guessing but here are a few tasters of what are in the packs

Altered slidemounts
embossing rulers
big dominoes
clock parts
altered cds
dragonfly brads to colour in
guitar picks
tea cards
fish
fabric embellishments
pants
playing cards
charms
bottle caps
erasers
board books
stickers
to name a few things that have come through

wssla00
11-04-2006, 06:43 PM

Glad you like it! I'd like to see what people are going to do with one or two of the bits - In the end I split what I'd got between the 16 folks in groups 1 and 3 so some people might end up with two lots of more or less the same thing - (tho' there are some differences) Hope that's ok!!
