do. One of them she declined to allow me to do it oh well so be it. The other she said it needed some tweaking and that she would get in touch with me tomorrow, so we will see how that will go for it. Lousie, at least tell us which one got shot down! |
Teresa,
The swap that was shot down was a R.A.K. address swap. Basically only thing being swapped would be mailing addresses to be "saved" (sent via pm's ONLY). I will explain what it is that I DO on my own. When I am in a swap (and for those who wish to be put on my "list" outside of swaps), I "save" the addresses and put them on my list. Than at random times I will select one, two or even more "names" and just perform a R.A.K. (random act of kindness) by sending the person(s) a little note that says "thinking of you" or I have been known to send a little box of "goodies" or even just a fat quarter. But the thing is it is all random I may not send anything for a month or so, but than again I may send 1-20 (depending on what the budget is like) more in a month. I know it probably sounds confusing, but for me I have a "system" worked out that I have been using for over 3 years from another quilting group (cafemom). I LOVE reading the comments from those who receive something me because they are surprised by the randomness of it. But since that swap was shot down, I will continue to collect the addresses from the swaps I join and slowly build my list that way. One thing I do NOT do is SHARE anyones information unless I specifically have thats persons permission to share their address. In fact I have all that kind of information password protected on my computer even my family (mainly hubs) can not access the info. I take my friends person information such as their addresses seriously. So just be "warned" that if you have done ANY kind of swap with me it is HIGHLY likely that someday you might just receive a little something outside of any swaps.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I did that on another board I am a member but I would send things anonymously, I liked it better that way. |

Kris I love the wall hanging you made. Krystyna Daisy Mae's new outfit is divine. All the other doggies will be so jealous.
Juli how is your sister and the new baby? Is it a boy or girl? Mary any ideas how to handle the presser foot when I teach my granddaughter to sew? Should I put it on box and let her press it (shutters) or should I press the petal for her? Airwick I'm so glad that Charles is having fun doing the swap with us. |
