2010 SWAPS.

With a new found determination to keep this forum rocking, I've decided that we will have at least one swap a month going. If any of you want to host another though, feel free. Details of each will be posted each month, but this is your basic list. If you don't like this idea, or come up with better subjects, just tell me and I'll scrap it or change it.

Each swap will start at the beginning of the month and you'll have until the end of the third week of the month to finish it. The last week of each month will be for sign up for the next month. (except January as that's already sorted).

sounds good to me lorraine

OOOHHH me likee this one very much.
Something to look forward to each month.

Oh, now this is great Lou. Thanks for the inspiration.

sounds fab, you can count on me joining in and I will enjoy all these.

The best thing of all is you feeling like it again.

What a good idea!

I agree with Maria about the 'best thing' as well.

Oh my, oh dear, oh gulp. What can I afford to miss out of this lot.
Decembers look terrific, will the instructions be up in August then I might have time to do it? No way I'll be able to in Dec, unless I have a personality change and get things ready early, nonono.

Lorraine this is simply fantastic ... I love the idea of having a swap each month (with possibly some odd ones thrown in by others in between). What inspiration, eh? I shall do my utmost to do every single one, except possibly May when I shall be in Shanghai for a long spell ... still, who knows, I may get it done even so! I will be sure to give it a darned good go. Thank you so much.

This looks wonderful - thank heavens it's become obvious that we need to get my craftroom fitted out as the next job in the house! So I might actually be able to get to my stuff and take part in some of these. Meanwhile, I guess I could always host a swap that I didn't actually take part in.....

looks fab. Will there be seperate threads for each then, to sign up etc. I'm likely to forget otherwise, what with my head being all thick and daft.

LOL Aprils gonna be a good one, doing inchies and twinchies. Best find a rule out then

Good idea, hopefully by August I'll be able to join in.

Hopefully there will be some guidelines each month - e.g. what, how many,
themes etc. I'll go with the flow.

Oh yeah - sorry - missed that bit

I think, for me, one of my new year's resolutions is going to be to read Lorraine's posts thoroughly!! Several times I have been like you, Steph, and missed a bit then raised the question. She'll have you and I struck off as old crumblies if we're not careful!!!!!

Not a chance - she'll be there one day herself - sooooooooon.

You speak for yourself, Steph and Patty.

And don't worry, you're not the only ones that skim my posts, lol. I think my writing style must be VERY boring.

I love the idea of being able to see what is coming up. Thanks Lou

I don't normally skim read - I either just missed that line out or misread it.
You are not boring AT ALL. Silly sausage.

Well, I'm glad you all like the idea.

Oooh some great ideas Lou , i will try my best to do them all.

Liking the ideas of this too and will try and join as many as I can.

Have posted February's up.

Now, a thought. I'm sure you're all aware that I like to host my swaps right through. But, I'm also aware that this means double postage for you all. So, if any of you object to this, please, please tell me.

I promise I'll try and force myself to do some direct swaps sometimes too, lol.

it never even occured to me. maybe we could take it in turns if anyone is worried about it.

no problem for me, my only concern is that its alot of work for you.

I hadn't given it a thought either. Just the idea of a monthly swap
was fabulous. Folks know what is entailed, so if they don't have
to take part.

id not even thought about it to be honest ,its only a few pence every time anyway ,well the odd one goes to over £1.but not many

Oh, that's good. I just wanted to check.

Was you worrying there Lorraine !!!! Stop it thats my job
