MAY 22 My April month is really booked, and this would give us enough time to get everyone's ideas distributed before those Disney vacations planned for the summer. Lots of creative potential here, so let's get crackin'!!

Originally Posted By LadyKluck Hopemax you make the best stuff - I can't wait to see what you'll come up with! I also have an idea/thought/wish. AFTER this one is over, can we do a Disney Babies swap? Most all of us that are preggers are due this summer or after arent we? Maybe we could have it be due in July or so? I think it would be awesome to have a swap that was both Disney and Baby themed - at least I think it would be hecka easier to put together a baby scrapbook if most of the work was already done. What do ya'll think of that?
Originally Posted By hopemax Thank you Klucky! I've never did any swapping before we started doing the ones here. I guess I am a little paranoid about my own work. Especially when I see stuff like Pennyring's Indy pieces, and Disney Chica's Trader Sam. Those were fabulous. Everyone did a great job last time. I think I have a good idea for my borders, which is why I went with Rafiki. I do have to give my DH credit. I wanted to someone a little atypical, but prominent in the park and he suggested his 2nd favorite character.

And in her album are many other swap pictures.

Originally Posted By DreamFairy kala, it really is alot of fun and you do get some amazing handi work in return. Ann, i agree, you know ya wanna! hopemax, ditto, your work is AMAZING! I wish I had just an ounce of your creativity.
Originally Posted By smedley how would you guys feel about me trying this from the UK? I know it gives me less time to do it, I've not done a swap before, but looking at the pictures, I think I might be at least able to do something reasonable. If so, can we have an update on what's still available? I realise I will have to include additional costs for the return postage.
Originally Posted By smedley Thanks DreamFairy It's up to 999Haunts as she's the host, I'll wait for her to come back with confirmation and hopefully an updated list, I'm thinking I'd like to try the tags and the embellished squares, but I'm not sure if they're still available lol.
Originally Posted By smedley Ok, I think I checked what is available correctly. If it'd ok'd by 999Haunts (as she is the host) and I'm allowed to join, then my choices would be : A Journal boxes 2 per person B Embellished squares 2 per person and I'd be doing Mickey (I know not the most original, but I have some fun things I could use). I will check back to see if I get signed off to join
