The questionnaire has been started in another post and sticky'd to the top. Please only answer the questions in that topic. Leave more ideas and comments down in here.


and the rules once again;
Gift Swap Rules

If you would like to participate, please read the rules, then send Jiffymouse a pm with Craft Swap for the subject line, and your address (if I don’t already have it) along with your email address. Phone numbers are nice, but not required. Also the words "i agree to follow the rules" in the body. here are the rules:

1 - all members must be signed up by August 17.
2 – post your answers to the questionnaire in //www.agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/101486/gonew/1#UNREAD
3 - names will go out by pm on or before [color:#ff0000]to be determined
4 - all gifts must be mailed out by September 1, failure to do so will make you ineligible to participate in future gift swaps and could result in other penalties
5 - in the event of disaster striking you before you can mail out your box, notifying Jiffy as soon as possible will preserve your ability to play in the future. don't laugh, it could happen. we had 2 in another swap. please include the reason, even if it is just "i got snowed under and couldn't do it"
6 - gifts should be mailed with a tracking number when possible (even the post office offers that for only about 50 cents more) BUT...
7 - if you order your gift to be "direct shipped" please pm me when the order is placed, with the company name so i can post "so-and-so's gift has been ordered direct ship".
8 - finally - just like last time, that there is no specific amount, but please be mindful of other's budgets, and please make sure that you would be happy if you got what you sent out. if in doubt, $20-$30 VALUE is always a safe bet. and value is much more important than cost.
9 - post that you received your gift as soon as you get it, but at least within 3 days. pictures are great if you can!
10 - the administration of this board reserves the right to amend the rules as necessary. [/color]

oh, and i'll make calls today just for fun, later, when i leave the house. i don't have cell service here.

I got my naaaaaaaame!

I just got my name!!!

I clicked 'submit' and it told me this topic was locked !!!
It's brand new!!!

Now it says this topic has been deleted??!!!

I finally found where to go!!!! Yay!!!

Are you lost Shirley?

I got mine too!!! Yipppeeee Skippyyyyyyyy!!
I am supposed to be doing notes ( which I have procrastinated on)> HA!! They are going to wait one more day, I have to shop this day, hehe!! My hubby is just laughing.

Someone bump up the questionaires. I can't find them!

They are right under this topic!!

//www.agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/101486#Post101486

Thanks, i did finally find it. Iprinted out my person's wish list.
HAVE LIST--WILL SHOP

Funny when I read my persons questionnaire as they were all being submitted, i thought, ooh i have this and i have that and i have the other thing, that I haven't ever used or dont touch etc. I will be diving into my craft room when I go home.
Now..... what should i make her?????

THIS is why i love being the admin on these. you folks are so happy to go get something for someone else such a nice change from the gimmes of from so many people.

thank you

Wrennie...make them a mouse....if they don't have a cat, can't you fill it with pouporie (sp?! )?

I can hardly wait to go shopping for mine....I still have a $50 gift certificate to JoAnn Fabrics, left over from Christmas!!!

I actually have most of the items on %*#@$$^&^%%'s wish list on hand. So it's all good around here.

You don't have to spend the whole $50 on me

I don't know if the scent oils would make the yarn greasy feeling or looking?????

I dont know if she has a cat???

Pets weren't on the questions.

We also now know you have drawn the name of a "she". We are narrowing it down!

ummmmm Tina.... all of the players are "she".

pets would not have to be on the questionaire. Wrennie's "mice" would be a welcome addition to anyones house--don't ya think???

and OH!!! I got my name as well[color:#FF0000] !!!! [/color]

yea!!!! now I have to go back & read all the posts about the swaps since I have been "gone" to get myself up to date on my "person".

have list will shop---[color:#3333FF][color:#3333FF]great motto, Tina!!! [color:#FF0000]I think it works!!![/color][/color][/color]

Are you sure?

yes
Unless some man is posing in a womans name on that list.

That's what I was getting at.

I'll try not to Wrennie

Sorry, didn't think of that, but they would still like one even with cat nip even if they don't have a cat!!! I don't have a cat

gee hint hint, huh Shirley?!

Jiffys i just stuffed with polyfil. No nip, no potpourri, just fluff.

polyfill would be great Wren!

Glad YOU can spell poupou....whatever....!

No pets here, just goldfish in the pond.

My person will be easy to shop for I think!

and i LOVE my mouse!

woohoo! i got my name!!!!

gotta go shoppin!!! woohoo!

so does everyone know now? i know sarah and triss do, i made sure they got theirs before they left on their respective adventures this morning.

who else?

loz got her's,
christy has her's
wrennie has her's
shirley know's her's
~NL~ know's her's
tina know's her's

who have i missed?

Jiffy--I have mine--& I thought I said so in my post today??? maybe I should go check it!!!

you did, i just can't think straight..

Jessica, but she's not on until Monday probably, and Penny.

I went shopping for my pal tonight!

i got my name!!!!!!!!! it is @#%&*^^$$*(%#^&_() and it is so funny, i thought yesterday, "would'nt it be funny if i got her" and i did! hahahahahehehehe

wendy, i love those bouncing heads that change color!

someone on CH last nite said i could use hers, but we were having so much fun, i don't remember who SHE was. sibyl maybe?

How about jayhawk-Glenda? Has she got hers yet?!

i typed this in before but i don't know where, what is the deadline to have them in the mail?

Yes Shirley, I have mine.

Do you want to know who it is? Sorry, but I'm sworn to secrecy.

One of these days everyone will know because the secret will be out!!

september 1 unless you have a self-serve post office. then it has to leave your hands by labor day.

Okay, be prepared to be amazed. I have my name. My shopping is done--we spent all day in the big city and I got to go to all the stores that DH won't usually let me go and a few things for me kept slipping into my arms..... Just need a box and some postage funds and try to think of something to make....


Oooooh, Wreennnnnie, I have a lovely black cat.... He loves to attack things....

cat---cat?? one does not need a cat to obtain the "wrennie mouse"--do they?????

yep n i just added some fairy pics if ya wanna check em out

wow! people are shoppin already! i cant wait to shoparound lookin at this n thatn deciding on what to get for my swappy

i cant get past this one, it is the best ever!

wonder IF and how this could be my avitar???????

as for my pal, i will be crafting something i think she would like today.....wonder what it is......

Wendy, I got my signature button of my dragon by sending a picture to Bill and asking if he could make me one using that, and bless him, he did!!
But, I don't know about the Avatar. You can always ask!! Ask Cindy!!

You could probably get it for a signature button with Wendy across the bottom....still chose a Fairy for you Avatar??!!

I have great luck, everything I bought yesterday just went on sale today for half off. I think I'm going to go in and get a price adjustment and then BUY SOME MORE!!! Woooohoooo! I'm having far too much fun. Really. I hate shopping, so I shouldn't be enjoying this so much....

Oh nooo! I hope they give you the adjustment. If they say tough too late tell them you want to just return everything then.

well i know you did not get my name, everybody knows i have a cat OR TWO!

who does have my name?!?!?!?!

Yup. If they won't then I'll just return all of it and buy it all again at the sale price. Being as I've spent my life working retail as a cashier, I know what I can expect or do to get what is appropriate. And I can be very pleasant about it too. Most people are just nasty about such things.


Maybe I have your name, Wendy. Then again, maybe I don't.

Maybe I lied just so you think I don't have you. ANd maybe i didn't.

We'll give you 12 guesses! :LOL:

you guys are mean!

but i do like the wondering.....

uh.....i will give a hint as to who i got.....this person does.

Faerywatcher:

What a coincidence !!!!!!!
MY person does not live in the same state as me either!!!
who would have thought.

mean-----who----us??? naw.............


Good News, Good News.....

I get to go shopping today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

going to go get ready here in a few----I am gonna have SO much fun!!! its like Christmas in August for me....(I love to buy for others)

(oops Bill, I said that word).......Sorry---

Wel let me tell you, my person doesn't live in NY like me.

I got my name!

Who'd you get!!!!

Wrennie,------ naughty, naughty

She is naughty isn't she Carol?!?

Can't tell Wrennie!

I got it all done, officially! Now I'm just trying to think of things to make. I have a couple of ideas but I'm not sure how they'd turn out or if they would work for my special friend. Can you tell me if #$*%%*#$%! would be a good gift for $#*%&*_#%^? I think that she could use it, but would she like it?

Drats!

I think I would like it Sarah!

I've always wanted a #$*%%*#$%! {{ }}

I'm almost ready to send my package out to my person! It's not staying in my state, it's going to a different state! How's that for a hint!

Well then you didn't get Penny.

Could just be trying to throw you off. :wink:

I've been known to be sneaky like that.

What?! One of our members, sneaky? Surely not!

Nope, noone sneakyt here...

Been there, done that----

hey--I've just gotten back from my first shopping excursion. I thought it was gonna be so much fun---but i found it hard to buy things off of a list. Now, who would have thought. I would look at the item & go "now is this what my person meant"?? Apparently I am

BUT I am most of the way done, and then all I have to do is just see how soon i can get my handmade gift done. Yea!!!!!

I had the same problem, Junie. I just went for what I thought my person's personality matched best. I sure am wondering if I hit the mark or snot. And I've been extremely busy today (with the birthday party this evening) and I keep finding myself zoning out and thinking about what else I could/should get just to "be sure" it's what she meant.

Yep, sarah--I had to laugh--I was thinking the same thing--I was wandering around going--well I sure liked------but then it was not ME I was buying for---we shall see, perhpas with the next "trip" things will go better.

Eww, I Hope the box full of that ISN'T for me.

Admit it, Tina, you'd be surprised to open THAT box!

ewww..I hope I don't get that box, either!!!

As soon as my car gets back home (tomorrow or wed.) I will be off and running!!! Shop, shop, shop!! I have NO idea what to make!!!!!

i know what's in some of these boxes and i'm soooooo excited!

I just got a RAOK box (well envelope really) from my crochetville secret fairy godmother who knows me ALOT less than any of you, with NO ??aire to follow, and she did great. We have a lot more clues to go on. We will all do FINE!

wrennie? what's a RAOK box?

in a nutshell
C'ville has a Wishlist
You list 10 items you wish you had
crochet hooks
yarn
whatever
then any other member can grant you a wish and become yur "fairy god mother" FGM. Nothing is required or expected.
its cool
RAOK = Random Act Of Kindness
heres a link
oh poop
there are some things you cant see or do till you are a member for at least 30 or 60 days to be sure of your sincerity
lemme try, if not tomorrow I'll copy/paste more

i just got back from shopin n only got one thing! just means more shoppin to be done {without my kids!}
its hard cause i realy wanna get somthing my swapy will love!
and i had an idea of what to make, but wallmart didnt have what i needed so my sweet hubs took me to the wallmart in west virgina, but they didnt have it either gonna try other stores tomarrow

I think I know what I'm going to make. With the birthday party out of the way, I should be able to get the item(s) in question done in just a few days. And then it's off to the mailbox I go.

Does anyone want cake? I've got chocolate and vanilla, just made from scratch this morning. I hate cake, so please take it! Heeeey, maybe I could mail it? At least I'd be rid of it.

This is so much fun. I really love getting this package together and reading about everyone else doing the same.

Glad your party went smoothly. It is fun getting this box together. I hope my swappee likes the &*%%$# I got her and the 45867s to go with it. I hope she can ^&$#@@$%^% without $$^*%(@!~ her@#&^%.
