Mine is fine with me.
Do you have anything in particular you want in the Diecut Blue as I'll be cutting them with my CR and I'm looking for some idea's.

Hi all! Just had a nice morning scrapping & trying to get black stuff!! Have realised that it's not quite as easy as I thought to actually get black stuff so am going to be innovative! Having said that much more fun that way anyway!! Have got some bits so will start bagging!! Are we meant to say what we want to receive (Ie I really cant stand orange so would avoid it!) or is that complicating matters...!!
Poet Crafty
18-03-2006, 06:09 PM
Hi Can I swap the green surprise bag? Thanks this is my first swapp too - we are swap virgins !!!!
Poet Crafty
18-03-2006, 06:13 PM
Oh right I get it now - just ignore me - you already have someone doing this. Sorry I will get the hang of this at some point !!!!
Are we meant to say what we want to receive (Ie I really cant stand orange so would avoid it!) or is that complicating matters...!!
As far as I can see you are only in the black and white group, so what you will get back will all be black and white. You would only get orange items if you additionally signed up for the yellow and orange group.
Hope that clarifies things.
Oh right I get it now - just ignore me - you already have someone doing this. Sorry I will get the hang of this at some point !!!!
If you sign up to send in 10 bags for one of the items still unspoken for in the blue and green group, then you will get back a mix of blue and green goodies :)

Hi ..
if you have a lok at my post..message ..on the first page of this swap it gives a list of the items included in the swap...what doesnt have someones name next to it is still available...
this is a group swap,so its different to if you have something and you want to swap it with an individual for something in return...in this you send off say..100 white brads ..in bags ..10 in each..then you get one of those bags back and a bag each of what everyone else in your group has sent me..
i think thats kind of how to understand it...
if you want to join thats ok..we were all new to begin with and this is a good way to make friends and build up your stash...but it does need a little commitment from you..ie ,if you 'sign up' to a group swap like this you need to follow the guidelines and requests set by the host(thats me)..ie,posted by deadline..in seperate bags etc...
ok?

Ali M
18-03-2006, 07:25 PM
Can i do yellow brads/eyelets (or orange )
My very first sap.be gentle with me too
welcome to the swap...i have put you on the list for yellow brads/eyelets...you can send a mixture of the 2 or just one or the other..to a cost of approx £5...split this equally into 10 bags...put your UKS name on each bag(makes job easier for me ..esp with a tot who likes to help!!!)..put them all in one of those jiffy envelopes along with aaddress label of your address (I do mine on the pc & print off)..and enough stamps for the post back to you...this might be a little more than what you are paying to send yours as brads/eyelets are pretty light...and pop inthe post to me..I shall be sending my addy by pm to every one in due course..then when Ive recieved all your groups goodies i shall share them out n send them back to you using the envelope you sent them to me in!!
Any questions ask away on here or send me a pm....
this is my first swap as host so hope it goes well for both of us!!

19-03-2006, 02:40 PM
If youve already signed up for one group and want another of the places thats yet to be filled then let me know ...
and I thought I would make a slight change in the white/black group to nclude buttons with the blossoms....so either buttons and or blossoms...wasnt sure if you can get black blossoms or if anyone would use them!!!
Hi Ali Can you add me to a second group then please - I will do purple die cuts . Hpe thats Ok x

Thanks Anita..shes a little brighter at the mo and is a bit happier for me to leave the room but still keeping her dosed up a bit...
only a few places left now...
Cherida and Anita have filled another 2 spaces...(thats whys theres a * by their names to remind me!!!!!)
Its hard work when theyre poorly isnt it ... take care both of you. How are you coping with hosting 2 swaps ? Ive today had my second one put up , its all very exciting!
can I take the blue blossoms as a 2nd group please?
Ali M
19-03-2006, 03:06 PM
Of course Cheryl..I will add you now...
xx
Thanks :wub:
Was actually about to 'checkout' with a sponsor as I saw you'd opened this up for seconds -- so my order has been amended to include my needs for this :lol:
Will hold off posting my pink brads until I have the blue blossoms ready as well :)
Ali M
19-03-2006, 03:13 PM
I think so many new swaps went up within a few days most people have signed up for what they wanted so I think Ive spread the word in my team,on the Lurve thread and in general scrapping and I think if others had wanted to join then they would have by now...
Its great to see that for some this is their first swap and its a great way for a new comer to UKS to 'get to know' other members..in a smaller group...
Ali M
19-03-2006, 03:21 PM
Its hard work when theyre poorly isnt it ... take care both of you. How are you coping with hosting 2 swaps ? Ive today had my second one put up , its all very exciting!
my other swap only has 2 places left to fill and I think Ive ironed out the early hiccups..will be glad when they are both filled though as its been a bit tricky getting on here as much as Id have liked with Abi beeing poorly...but this ones nearly full ..
then the onslaught of the packages arriving will be fun...must remember to keep note book at hand as Im sure Abi will be eager to open every thing..at 2 and a half she does so love to help Mummy!!

Please can you all check that I have you down on the list for what youve asked for??
Beesbabe1975 has just pointed out a mistake I made with what I said in the thread re allocating something to someone and Id put them in the wrong slot and when she ,bless her ,asked for something she thoought wasnt taken I put her name by itr only for her to ,thankfully,read through the thread and she realised my mistake...does that make sense???So please can you check!!!
Im sooo sorry Beesbabe...I hope thers something available that suits you ,and like i said in pm I will reimburse you if you have already spent out..

if you havent got any small resealable bags then just some sandwich bags or even some small envelopes ..or just sort of make an envelope with some printer paper...as long as you put your uKS name on them I will know where/who they are from...
please remeber to include an address label for me to attach for the return trip and stamps too..
Hope you enjoy your first swap..I hope it wont take too long for all the parcels to reach me then they will soon be on there way back to you with the rest of the goodies from your group...
I will let you know when they are with me Pinkfairy..
thanks

When sending your parcels to me can you please include 2 first class stamps fror the postage back..some of the diecuts might be weighty as might the suprise...if youve already posted dont worry..i shall sort those..

Toni H
21-03-2006, 12:13 PM
Have done film strip in black 12" long could be folded but couldn't say if they would be ok to be use in one piece. Had tried to be different but not worked out!!! If every one lets me know if they would prefer 2 x 6" or 1 X 12" i'll do my best to sort before sending them and will mark the bags for who wanted what. Hope this is of help.

have bagged up orange and yellow together will post tomorrow
just realised that i will get double everything orange and yellow as i am in the same colour group twice. would it be toooo complicated if i could get one of the others who are in this twice to swap one colour grouip with me or is everyone else adverse to yellow and orange. i'm not suggesting we change what is being bought by us but what is being received by us......
let me know although this would be subject to finding some one who really wants yellow and orange rather than what they are down for
i know fish face won't be running to swap she dislkies orange with a passion to say the least
of to bed now

When you posted to do the same group twice i had thought you must love yellow & orange thats why I left a post asking if you minded being in the same group twice...but maybe there is someone who doesnt mind getting yours back and you theres..so lets see what we can do eh?
So can anyone help Happy snapper out?
It will mean you still sending same colour items as you already chosen but getting yellow & orange ones bck..so obviously someone not already in that group..
Just leave a post on here for me and that troublesome Happy snapper to see...

Good to read that a nice person jumped in to the rescue! Sorry DD has been poorly bad (as they say here in Wales where the sheep are many & the postage quick!!) & hope she's feeling better soon. Ear ache is agony & no doubt exhausting for all...

Help, I'm really struggling to find just green goodies for my surprise bags for £5, everything is mixed and it would cost me a fortune to buy enough to take the green bits out and split them between 10 people.
Can anyone recommend some tips or even websites? Please! :)

****black/white group...
please can you try to send your goodies in an envelope large enough to hold somethimg 12 inches long...as one of the die cuts is that long...dont worry if youve already posted to me and yours wasnt a 'big un'..I shall just swap around some of the envelopes,if others dont mind that..***

Grrrrrrr getting annoyed now! I bought some nice black eyelets on 22nd March and have still not received them! I was told that the first lot must have got lost in the post and they would send some more but still not had them. Must be really unlucky to loose 2 lots in the post. I am getting a bit angry now! I have the other bits all together in their little bags waiting for these to come and then they can be posted!

I mailed the seller AGAIN yesterday and they have assured me that they were posted on Friday. But I find it really hard to believe that two lots of the same things could go missing in the post in a space of 2 weeks! If they are not here today then I'll just have to look for something else. Its just sooo frustrating!

05-04-2006, 12:49 PM
Poor you sarah...
I think sometimes some people forget or just cant be bothered...then when you 'remind' them they blame it on RM..
Delivery today of green die cuts...they look really good,nice selection too..

I was wondering if anyone could lend me the benefit of their wisdom? Having enthusiastically signed up for white die-cuts/ paper embellishments I've been at a bit of a loss to find much in the way of white paper embellishments - I can do a variety of sizzix die cuts but I wondered if anyone could give me a few more ideas??

envelopes? how about vellum tags too- they can be white :) also some white flowers

marie ...a variety of sizzix die cuts will be just great...Im sure theres plenty of people in the swap who dont have a die cutter of some sort...and with the dies being white they wil be easy to ink/chalk etc...and if they are the sort of dies that go well on LO even better..ie,envelopes,file folders,buckles etc..etc..
any probs just let me know..

I don't think I look old enough to be your Mum - and I certainly don't act old!! Well not really. I can always blame memory loss on all those goodies I'm still finding from NEC - no wonder the purse was empty!!
