Edit: ok, here's the deal.
I can't count. I laid out one too many piles on the floor (14).
So now I have an extra swap as I've been making a note of who sent what and who would get what (not getting back one of your own).
Since this is done (palm to forehead), maybe it would be cool to do a RAK to someone in 2peas who's had a rough go of it.
I would just need to know who included the big paperclip and who sent the swap in a plastic bag with pumpkins (inside is a tiny portrait that goes back and forth to a skull when you move it).
If you're ok with this, let me know!

I'm doing process of elimination and am down to 2. I know who they are and I think I posted earlier in the thread. Learning now to keep the signed notes with the swap, just in case!

OK, I figured it out!!!
Woot!!
If you want yours back, let me know and I won't send it out as a RAK.
You can do it privately, NO JUDGEMENT!!!

I wish I hadn't forgotten to label mine and put in the "extras" though. ☹️

gramma please tell me you sent 14 and that they were all the same. Otherwise, everything is sorted. I have to double check I did it right. I will put everything in plastic bags and label tomorrow after work.

I love that you are all stalking!!! I opened up every single item today and I am floored by the creativity and work everyone has put into these. Just wow. I want to explain mine without spoilers. I made every single one. I misted, cut, and stitched the big one. The round one I punched. The not paper one is from "craft leather" I got at Dollar Tree. It's too fun. One I made from the packaging from the Ali Edwards Halloween kit from last year. And the last one I stamped on and cut out that thing that's on it. Inside is a wax seal that my daughter made. She's really into that still! And now she's doing multiple colors. Everyone also got a little ghostie card that joblackford made. Looks like watercolor. She mailed me those so everyone could have a little something extra. I hope to have enough light to take photos tomorrow. I won't share until everyone's has been delivered. Thanks to you all for participating. It is so fun to get all the packages and more fun to have these special bits to put in my album.

I'm looking forward to seeing them, too, because I just don't understand at all what this swap is about.

I'm looking forward to seeing them, too, because I just don't understand at all what this swap is about. Last year's was amazing! And the Christmas one too. If you look back to last year's threads, you can see all the diff stuff that was swapped....cards, tags, embellishments, ephemera, etc. Blemon had a loose "theme" for each of them, but basically it was fall/halloween for the one and holdiay/winter/christmas non-religious for the other. The only rule is max size is 5 x 7. There were several pics of how ppl used what they got in October dailys and December dailys, as well as scrapbook pages. These were the first swaps I ever participated in and I was totally blown away by all the creativity. There were tears. For real. Bummed I had to miss out on this one!!!

This is really not that much extra work for me so I want to do Christmas too. I think 13 is a good number but I could make a couple extra if we get more signing up. When this is all said and done, I'll set up a new thread. I think I'll make the deadline a little earlier so that people who do Dec Daily can get them in time to prep some pages in advance.

This is my official sign me up for the Christmas swap post, please! 😉 My swap will now be arriving tomorrow instead of Monday. My mail traveled north of Pittsburgh originally, then decided to hop on a plane to Florida it seems. I am excited to get it early!

I am 1.5 hours south of pittsburgh so all of our mail goes up there before anywhere else, even back here! It's crazy. I do not have the capacity to keep track of Christmas swaps in this thread so I'm going to have to start new one. You guys keep me on my toes!! Ha.
