what sort of timescale are you planning on for items to be sent out?

meridian · 07/03/2008 16:40

nbg-- I was thinking about the first two weeks of april.. but i can extend it to the end of.. only because I'm going away for 3 weeks of April... won't be back till the day before my birthday so probably won't get much done while there.....

oooh well if its the end of april I'll join in.
But don't change it just for me.

My fair is on the 9th april so I'm working like mad to get enough stock for that atm.

rantinghousewife · 09/03/2008 20:37

Oh yes, am up for that. Will sign on the blog!

JackBlackRoady · 10/03/2008 12:36

i've signed up! i loved doing the Easter swap (or, as some will call it, the Eater swap!)

GreebosWhiskers · 10/03/2008 15:01

With all that chocolate winging back & forth 'twas an easy mistake to make.

Gingermonkey · 10/03/2008 15:03

I signed up on the blog - so I'm in!

jeangenie · 11/03/2008 18:32

hey meridian - I was wondering if you want signups from outside MN crafters? cos if you do maybe we could all mention the swap on our blogs and see if we drive any traffic to it, I'd imagine lots of people could be interested...of course if you want it to stay entre nous that's fine too

meridian · 11/03/2008 19:03

jg- other would be fine.. not many people actually visit mine but feel free to blog about it from your blog! i'm not so outgoing in the blogsphere but i really should try to do more.

rantinghousewife · 11/03/2008 20:37

Meri, really, my ds finds the recipe section most interesting and his normal thing is world of warcraft. Think the crafting passes him by though

Gingermonkey · 12/03/2008 13:29

meri - I've blogged about your swap, so if JG does it too hopefully we'll get a few more takers!!!

meridian · 13/03/2008 09:11

ranting- thanks thats made my day.. and thats for the mention gm now up to ten people signed up so far!

OP posts:
Nbg · 13/03/2008 12:50

Ok I'm in

(must be bloody mad)

dizzyday07 · 13/03/2008 13:51

I'd add the swap details to my blog but my only visitors don't comment they just leave viruses for me!!

I'll add my name to the pot too but heaven knows what I'll make - maybe another origami bag in Charles Rennie Mackintosh fabric!!!

jeangenie · 13/03/2008 13:51

I blogged you last night, at last!
