Anyone Involved in More Than One Swap.....
 
Find that they need to keep track of things in a notebook? I just graduated from a notebook to using a white board to keep track of who I am sending what to! I wish I would have started using a computer file to write out info when I first started with Secret Santa last year. Such as who sent me what, too.

I know there are many ladies out there who are involved in many more swaps than I am. I am just wondering how others organize their swaps.

Since I host swaps, I keep a big notebook for those. A smaller one for info on swaps and trades I'm doing. :)

Absolutely I keep track! At one point I was participating in 8 or 9 various swaps. Yyyyeeeeoowwww!! I've cut back quite a bit but at that time I wrote down every swap and the due date - and any other important information - and had it taped on the wall in my quilting room. That was the only way I could stay organized.

Now that I host some swaps, I only participate in a few regular swaps. Otherwise, I'd lose my mind! Too late, you say? Perhaps . . . .

I use the computer. I have set up forms in excel to keep track of a lot of things: Christmas cards, birthdays, SS swap, quilt information, etc, etc, etc.

I was just using a small notebook, but I think I will start a larger notebook with separators, and hopefully I will be able to keep track better.

I have everything in my "to do" section of my email - pops up notifications etc to keep me on track

I keep things written in my monthly planner, and on a calendar by my chair.

Thanks to all for sharing how you keep your swaps organized. Too easy for things to be forgotten otherwise! I hate when that happens!

Check this out & print a calendar for keeping track.... It's really helped me...
