{by Ria979902}

This swap is a surprise selection swap, the idea is you spend £5 on absolutely anything you'd like,whether its blossoms,brads,ribbons,buttons,aslong as it £5 of the same thing rather than a mixture of different embellishments (it can be different colours) and divide it into 10 bags and send it to me. I will then send you back 10 bags of other goodies for you to enjoy

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 people but may mix the bags around a bit so you all get a good selection

Completion By:

Send by 18th April 2006 in order for completion on 25th April 2006(or as soon as each groups' are received)

**Please leave the first message below this for the host to post!**

Have ordered my 'surprise' items. Hopefully something others won't have, as I've never seen them before -- but then I guess 8 months is still relatively new to scrapping :lol:

Well done you for thinking of it :wub:

[dedicatedtina]

thanks Maria for adding me to swap. am going out today to buy goodies!!!

Tina

[Lianne]

Thanks for adding me in Maria, now I just need to decide what to buy :D

[Ria979902]

phew that was a hectic few hours! can't believe how many people want to join this swap:D
Now which corner of the house can I take over ready for when all these parcels arrive-ummmmm??????

Haven't timed this very well as little ds is a big boy 4 today and his new toys have taken over most of the corners I could have pinched:lol: oh well no doubt I'll find somewhere:)

[chrismicbritt]

Ordered my suprises so when I get them I'll post them off,hopefully by the end of next week.Maria 5 groups means lots of envelopes to trip over,I know what its like:huh:

[Ria979902]

will i like them louise;):D

[chrismicbritt]

Ah I haven't bought what you thought I would Maria;)

[Ria979902]

NOOOOOOOOO I'm shocked:lol:

[Ria979902]

you'll be telling me you love using BG next:lol:

[chrismicbritt]

Well I'm still unsure on that one;) I know you will be thinking I've bought one of 2 obvious things but I haven't:P

[Ria979902]

well now I'm stumped.if it's not ****** or ******** what on earth can it be:lol::lol:

[dedicatedtina]

glutton for punishment maria!!!

If we here of someone being buried alive in envelopes we'll know who it is hehe!!!

Tina

[chrismicbritt]

Don't worry Maria I'm not too unpredictable if it isn't one of those things then I think its an obvious 3rd choice;) You've changed your avatar again,I know you'll be shocked at this but I dont know who he is:wacko:

[Michelles]

he is cute who ever he is.Oh **** i have just remembered i have not sent you the letters i promised maria sorry.

[Ria979902]

LOL Tina buried under a ton of embellishments what a way to go:lol:

Michelle don't you worry about that,my mojo has gone off again so haven't done a LO all week:lol:

I'm shocked that you wouldn't know who the gorgeous GERARD BUTLER is!!, I'm just glad Jules (blemoonjules) has signed up to this swap as she is probably more obsessed than me:lol:
he's a actor from scotland,he's been in timeline,reign of fire well loads of things and more recently as the phantom in the phantom of the opera although obviously not his best look:lol:
ummmmmmm

[chrismicbritt]

Ah there you go then thats who he is:wacko: I think I watch too much kids telly and not enough proper stuff:huh: Hes nice though whoever he is.;)

[Krystal Majik]

My shopping is done too and didnt get what I was going to get either, playing the stalking the postie game now so will post them off to you Maria as soon as I get them sorted out. Have never heard of your Scottish man but he's a dish I prefer the guy in the scotch beef advert though love a man in a kilt!!!

[Bluemoonjules]

Dunno what I am going to buy for this swap yet!!!

However, I've just had an invite from Maria to help her educate you about the gorgeous Mr Butler - (nice avatar pic Maria!).

He is a Glaswegian, born in 1969, 6ft 2, has green eyes and dark brown hair, prefers to be called Gerry.......

Currently completing a Spartan/Greek epic called 300 in which he has some unfortunate facial hair, but looks rather nice in leather shorts! I must go and throw some cold water over myself now......

[chrismicbritt]

I live a very sheltered life,have never seen him or the man in the Scottish Beef advert:( .Maybe I walk round with my eyes shut or maybe I'm so old now I dont even notice good looking men:huh: :wacko:

[suffolkscrapper]

im trying to remember what the heck i ordered in the flurry of swap signings i did yesterday roflmao so its going to be a suprise to me when i get whatever it is lmao!

[cw18]

give me a certain Irish gent anytime, don't think I'd suffer from Cold Feet anymore if I got close to him :lol:

[chrismicbritt]

Cherry I put 25 swaps on yesterday and another 2 today:huh:

[Bluemoonjules]

give me a certain Irish gent anytime, don't think I'd suffer from Cold Feet anymore if I got close to him :lol:

Oh, I like him too!!! Assuming you mean James Nesbitt! :wub:

[Ria979902]

give me a certain Irish gent anytime, don't think I'd suffer from Cold Feet anymore if I got close to him :lol:


well that was subtle cheryl who could guess who you're talking about:lol:

[cw18]

Oh, I like him too!!! Assuming you mean James Nesbitt! :wub:
drooooooooool :lol:

( actually, that's one smiley we're missing on here :unsure: )

[suffolkscrapper]

blimey louise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 25!!!

[Cherida]

Come on Louise age doesn't matter!! Even the voice of James Nesbitt and any male Scottish voice is Ok for me. Scottish , Irish I don't really care! And you know I'm older than you!! Cherida

[Cherida]

You've thrown me all off track now! I only popped in to refresh myself with details of this swap. Look at me now - I'll need cold water too.
I will go right back to the beginning. Cherida

[Ria979902]

I know Cherida it's disgusting isn't it,lowering the tone of my swap with all this talk of hunky scottish & irish actors:lol::lol:

shall we just forget the scrap related surprises and you can all send me posters of hunky blokes instead:lol::lol:

[Guillyflower]

Ok He's a dish :P but I have never seen him or the Scotch beef man :( What am I missing? I thought the main actor in hotel babylon was cute but can't remember his name either? I must be getting old :rolleyes: :lol:

[Hysteri-CAL]

Thanks for adding me to this swap !

[chrismicbritt]

Can't see the appeal of James Nesbit myself.Desperately trying to think of someone I fancy and can't come up with anyone:huh:

[chrismicbritt]

Ooh I know John Barrowman and Richard Hammond from Top Gear,he's cute.Phew thought there was something wrong with me then not fancying anyone.:unsure: :D

[Michelles]

Can't see the appeal of James Nesbit myself.Desperately trying to think of someone I fancy and can't come up with anyone:huh:


other than your Hubby of course

[chrismicbritt]

Ewww no don't fancy him:nono: :o :lol:

[suffolkscrapper]

ahhh louise likes the clean cut look then - personally i like em rough and ready roflmao so james nesbitt is definately appealing lol :D

[Hysteri-CAL]

personally i like em rough and ready roflmao so james nesbitt is definately appealing lol :D

Oooh I love em rough and ready - give me Jack Nicholson any day !! Please ? :D

[Ria979902]

rough and ready gets my vote too:lol:

gerry can do clean shaven too louise if thats any good to you:lol:

now where were we with this surprise selection swap????:lol:

[cw18]

personally i like em rough and ready roflmao so james nesbitt is definately appealing lol :D
I actually prefer him clean shaven as in Cold Feet, of which I have every series on DVD! Just been through the supermarket to try and find something for tea, and they had a load of CDs on sale at 99p each which included 'The Best of Cold Feet' -- so guess what I came out with :lol:

My kids (14, 17 and 22) take great delight in shouting 'Mum, your boyfriend's on the telly' every time the yellow page adverts are on........ and as for the stick they give me whenever there's a trailer for a program he's starring in --- well, I won't go there :wacko:

[chrismicbritt]

Forget the swap I am being educated in fanciable men;) :D

[cw18]

now where were we with this surprise selection swap????:lol:
Carole was saying her thanks for being added to the list :lol:

[Ria979902]

ahhhhhh yes that was it,now I can forget the swap and go back to the fanciable men:lol:

[chrismicbritt]

Want a few more suggestions so I can keep a look out for all these men on telly.;)

[Bluemoonjules]

The guy in Hotel Babylon was Max Beesley.

Trevor Eve is on TV in something soon - for the older man category I like him! Slightly scruffy blokes - clean but unshaven - will do fine! Yes, I know, the stubble, but hey....

Back to this swap then - easy, done, bagged up - mine will be in the post in the next few days.

[cw18]

Also have quite a soft spot for William L. Petersen and George Eads (a.k.a. Gil Grissom and Nick Stokes respectively in C.S.I).... and for some inexplicable reason also David Caruso (Lt. Horatio Caine in C.S.I Miami). Possibly explains why it has to be something really important before I miss a screening of either of these shows -- regardless of how many times I've seen the episode in question.

[PaulaG]

Ben affleck - lynx ad - yum!!!

[cw18]

Back to this swap then - easy, done, bagged up - mine will be in the post in the next few days.
Mine was ordered at 8:15 this morning, and upgraded to 'dispatched' by 10:47 -- many thanks Jillybeans. So could be here tomorrow for bagging and sending back out :D

[Lianne]

Oh you lot are all too quick- I need to get a move on and decide what I'm getting :D

[Hysteri-CAL]

I've ordered 2 lots of stuff coz I was unsure !

[AJH]

Wish I knew what to get.... all this talk of gorgeous men is putting me off........!

[Sky]

i've got my bits! need to get some more stamps! and i'll put them in the post on monday! :)

[Owl]

off shopping today. Must not buy more general stash as well!!

[~mable~]

ive got mine all baged and ready to go...just got to get dh to post them at work sometime next week:)

[cw18]

off shopping today. Must not buy more general stash as well!!
But surely that's the whole purpose of signing up for swaps? Means you have an excuse to go shopping :rolleyes:


My 'surprise' elements arrived this morning (thanks for the speedy delivery go to Jillybeans) and I want to keep them all myself :lol: Will try and get them packed up tonight :)

[Ali M]

I cant decide what to get...doohhhh!
Off to the nEC hobby crafts on the 2nd April...not sure if to leave till then cos wont want to hold anyone up...but what if i dont find anything there???

[chrismicbritt]

Ali it doesn't have to be anything too exciting,the surprise part is each group doesn't know what they are getting.;) :D I'm sure you'll find something nice.:)

[Ria979902]

well i know blossoms,ribbons,brads,etc.,etc., always go down well;):D

[Ali M]

mm,but as its sort of open to anyhting I was trying to think of something a bit different...got a pile of ironing...would it be ok to send that????

[chrismicbritt]

Blossoms and ribbons always go down VERY well Ali and rik rak too.None of which is what I've gone for this time.;)

[chrismicbritt]

Ali I don't need anymore ironing thats what I'm doing now,well supposedly.:P

[Ria979902]

Ali thanks all the same but you can keep your ironing:D, i try not to do any if I can help it

[Ria979902]

think i've now pm'd everyone with my address details if not let me know please:)

[chrismicbritt]

I didn't get them:unsure: Only joking I don't need them really.;) :D

[cw18]

I've not got them either -- but I do need them please....

[Ria979902]

Strange i spent ages pm'ing everyone 5 at a time and lots of you didn't get them-ummm, mind you I didn't bother sending my details to Louise cause she SHOULD know them off by heart by now like I do hers;)

[nikkimitch]

bought my things for this swap arrived today but far too lovely to share:lol: so i'll have to buy another lot the same :D :D and i am suposedly on a stash diet until the harrogate show:rolleyes:

[dedicatedtina]

Tina

[Ria979902]

Ooooooooooohhh lucky you Tina have a fantastic time:)

[chrismicbritt]

[lardyboy91]

i got my things today and i have them all sorted already! i will put into a envelope later post them monday
Amanda x
oh and yes i have your addy thanks

[dedicatedtina]

Only going for 3 days unfortunately. My parents live in Alicante and its my father's 81st birthday on Tuesday. back wednesday I'm afraid. I try to go reasonably often during off peaks times as flights are quite cheap with easyjet etc. Stay away during summer cos the prices shoot up and then go again in the autumn.

Tina

[alison1544]

got mine baged up will post monday!!!

[lojo7868]

I'm still wondering what to buy?

[AJH]

Me too, just cant decide......theres too much stuff !

[Hysteri-CAL]

I orderd mine last night, after a few G&T's unfortunately, and can't remember what I've bought. I know I bought two lots and then decided I didn't like them and ordered more ..... wonder what will turn up ???????

[jemm]

oh Carole that made me laugh - have done that so many times - so glad it's not just me - good job I can't decide what to buy as I have had a couple of glasses of wine tonight

[Hysteri-CAL]

Jemm - DON'T be tempted to shop then !!!

[jemm]

Carole - It doesn't take much to tempt me to shop - lol - just find it hard to let it go again once I have got it

[Hysteri-CAL]

Mine's normally once I've made something - I hate parting with things !!!

[jemm]

Oh I've never actually given any of my layouts away - can just about be forced to part with a card now and then.

[Hysteri-CAL]

Oooh not my LO's - although I made my mum an album for her 70th Birthday - but more the 'altered' things I make ... breaks my heart sometimes !!

Right, i've succumbed to the calling of my bed - nite nite Jemm. xx

[sandiejds]

Mine is in the post, Maria.

[Ria979902]

look forward to receiving it sandie-still need to clear a space for all these packages:lol:

[katesmad]

You're all so organised, I think i'm going to wait till I go to the NEC a week on thurs to pick up my goodies. Glad I'm not the only one who does a bit of alcohol induced shopping! LOL

[Bluemoonjules]

Maria - mine's in the post to you!

[Cherida]

Still haven't shopped yet. Have to build my confidence up and do so line - just scared that I'll never stop once I start! Going to NEC on 2nd April so will shop then at the lastest.
Cherida

[Cherida]

Just had another thought - may be shopping on line demands a drink or two before I start! Oh dear that could lethal. Cherida

[Ria979902]

Maria - mine's in the post to you!


Thanks Jules-now that is a gorgeous photo of Gerry:wub:

[chrismicbritt]

Not that Gerry again:rolleyes::lol: I'm still struggling trying to think of someone I really fancy.:rolleyes:

[Michelles]

it is John Barrowman or Donny for me

[chrismicbritt]

Have to agree with you on John Barrowman Michelle.;)

[Michelles]

He is the only man that makes me go weak at the knees,just ashame he bats for the other side

[chrismicbritt]

I know thats what James always says(hes jealous because I like him;) ) but it doesn't make him any less fanciable.

[Michelles]

I agree:wub: :wub: :wub:

[Ria979902]

I'll leave you two to fight over john barrowman then:lol: me & jules will stick with gerry:D.
I used to have a major crush on george michael in my early teens-well I was a 80's girl:D When I found out he was the other way inclined, our friend thought it was highly amusing as he is also gay and said he finally stands more of a chance with george than I did:lol::lol: but my crush actually stopped when i was about 16 so I didn't mind:D

[chrismicbritt]

Ooh no not George Michael,never liked him,I was in love with Curt Smith from Tears for Fears and Adam Ant,I was mad about him.I used to go round with a white stripe on my nose,why my mum never took a photo is beyond me.I looked an idiot.James can't stop laughing at the thought of it when i tell him.:rolleyes:

[Skippie]

Just joining in the chat if that's ok?
I have an embarrassing teeny crush to tell...as long as you don't all hold it against me? :lol:
I USED to really like Leo Sayer :blink:

[Ria979902]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh adam ant now you're talking:lol: I remember having a record player and adam and the ants album and a pair of navy cord pedal pushers one christmas,I had my hair cut short with a little rats tail at the back that I had plaited and tied with a bow-eeeewwwww so pleased i didn't have a photo of that one to haunt me,but I have got a photo with the white stripe across my chops somewhere!!!!!

[Ria979902]

Just joining in the chat if that's ok?
I have an embarrassing teeny crush to tell...as long as you don't all hold it against me? :lol:
I USED to really like Leo Sayer :blink:

LOL Anna-no we won't hold it against you as I will admit to going to see the nolans twice in concert!!!!!-don't ask me why:lol:, although I have to say you're probably on your own with the leo crush:lol:

[chrismicbritt]

How great Maria that you have a photo,dig it out we all want to see it.Christopher has got the Adam Ant greatest hits video and I often sit in his bedroom when its on swooning and thinking back to my childhood,ah memories:D OMG Anna I'm not laughing honestly but Leo Sayer!!!:huh: Takes some beating I think.

[chrismicbritt]

I once thought I fancied Mick Hucknall but soon came to my senses.:huh: :wacko:

[kara]

it was Jason Donovan for me when i was a teenie,

who is john barrowman?

[Ria979902]

I once thought I fancied Mick Hucknall but soon came to my senses.:huh: :wacko:

:lol:

[chrismicbritt]

Think the Mick Hucknall thing was because my 1st proper boyfriend loved Simply red so I associated them with him,well thats my excuse.;)

[chrismicbritt]

Kara didn't you watch Dancing on Ice,John Barrowman was on that?

[Ria979902]

who is john barrowman?

ask michelle or louise they're the ones with the crush,i didn't know who he was until he was on that ice skating reality programme,although i still dont know what he actually does!!!!;)

[chrismicbritt]

Years ago he was on a kids Saturday morning programme,been in lots of musicals at theatres and recently was Captain Jack in Dr Who.

[kara]

no. i didn't see the ice programme, kids baths and bedtimes mean i miss all the good things.

[kara]

i knew the rest of the 'hunks' you were chatting about, but not him. i would know him if i seen him, iykwim

[cw18]

LOL Anna-no we won't hold it against you as I will admit to going to see the nolans twice in concert!!!!!-don't ask me why:lol:, although I have to say you're probably on your own with the leo crush:lol:

I actually quite liked Leo Sayer too..... and loved listening to the Nolans.

In fact I have (or should have) some photos somewhere of the Nolan sisters in bridesmaid dresses!!!! One of their brothers married a girl who lived on the next estate over from my parents, and they had the wedding in our local church. I've never seen such a crowd outside the gates, and that was just locals as it didn't seen to attract much publicity.........

[Skippie]

He is kinda cute ;)

[Bluemoonjules]

Thanks Jules-now that is a gorgeous photo of Gerry:wub:

I changed it just for you, Ria! I SOOOO wish we had a drool smily!!!

Louise - I am so sorry that you can't think of someone you want to drool over! :( :P

Um - embarrassing crushes - yes, Donny - and I had the hots for Marc Bolan....

The College Years (New Romantics) - loads of blokes in make up and stupid clothes - but I did like Phil Oakey from the Human League. I looked like a cross between Kim Wilde and the early Madonna at the time, fishnets, fingerless gloves, big jewellery, too much make up and bed-head hair!:wacko:

[Skippie]

Have PMd you RIA re addy to send to :)

[dedicatedtina]

Have bagged up my goodies. will post them when I get back from Spain on Thursday. Haven't got enough stamps now.

Tina

[juliadunnit]

ive got mine all baged and ready to go...just got to get dh to post them at work sometime next week:)

Oh my - wasn't that the idea? :huh: I failed on my first swap, that £5 stash puchase was just to get me out of the house really wasn't it?? :lol: :lol:
Will be posting tomorrow. Am actually a bit nervous about whether you'll all like it:P

[juliadunnit]

Oh my again - I quoted the wrong thing!!!!! :lol:
It was Tracey saying that she hoped she wouldn't be tempted into buying any other stash....!:lol:

[Ria979902]

Received goodies from sandie & jules today-thanks for the extras,esp.the gerry photo Jules:wub: ;)

[suffolkscrapper]

im hoping that all the shopping i did last week starts to arrive today lol- you gotta love all those little parcels heheh

[Ria979902]

absolutely Cherry,thats why i keep ordering so much stuff simply cause I like receiving parcels from colin my postie:)-he now has back problems from carrying but as I keep telling him I'm keeping him in a job;)

[Bluemoonjules]

[Skippie]

Mine's all sent off now :D

[Kelley S]

I cant get mine until thursday or friday. OH has OfSTED in school at the moment so he wont be home until quite late so that means that means i wont be able to go to the shop until he's home to take me. Does that make sense? lol. Been a rough weekend (and no, not drinking, but with OH flapping obout OfSTED. lol).

[lojo7868]

[chrismicbritt]

Maria!! Robbie Coltrane,now that even beats Leo Sayer and I thought that was going to be difficult.:wacko:

[Michelles]

i had a crush on nigel havers in my younger days

[chrismicbritt]

Hes not too bad;) and I used to LOVE David Soul in Starsky and Hutch when i was little.:wub:

[Michelles]

Michelle I'm not that old!;) :lol:

[Bluemoonjules]

MaRIA!!!! Robbie Coltrane - admittedly he has that lovely Scottish accent ;) though..... mind you he was a lot slimmer when he was young (weren't we all!). I liked Robert Powell in his younger days (wonderful velvety voice!).

Louise - I sadly AM that old!

[Michelles]

[Lianne]

My most embarrrassing crush was Rick Astley. I used to love him. Knew all his songs etc and used to fall asleep looking at a massive poster of him next to my bed. But then i'm not too embarrassed about it after reading about Robbie Coltrane nd Leo Sayer! lol

I got my goodies today and will post in the morning. x

[Lianne]

pmsl Kelley :lol: I used to have a thing about Rick Astley. I think I was about 8 or 9 at the time and had a little badge of him pinned to my school tie- oh the shame :lol:

[Kelley S]

pmsl Kelley :lol: I used to have a thing about Rick Astley. I think I was about 8 or 9 at the time and had a little badge of him pinned to my school tie- oh the shame :lol:

I think i was about that age too! My mum used to tell me off for staring at the poster on the wall next to my bed instead of going to sleep! lol.
saw him the other day on the Just The 2 Of Us singing thing on BBC. He aint changed a bit!!!! But have taste now tho! lol

[jemm]

I am still stuck on what to get - maybe I could get loads of old copies of NME and smash hits, chop them up and share them out. LOL

[Ria979902]

i think maybe a couple of cheap 2006 hunks calenders send them to me and i'll send you out a hunk each:lol: forget the stash!!!!

failing that blossoms,ribbons,brads,anything will do:D

[Ria979902]

[joanne ward]

had to ask my DD what the green day singers name was(i know . i know but his name isn't what interests me!!!) billie -jo....he's a tad nicer than the 2 mentioned above IMHO anyways....bye girls, off to dream!!!

[Ria979902]

Joanne I didn't like rick astley far from it and I'm only saying robbie coltrane is just a nice bloke not fanciable!!!! before you all get a really wrong impression of me!!!:lol:

[chrismicbritt]
