Hi Molly, we'd love to have you involved, but im obligated to tell you that it seems you dont meet the minumum rules for the swap :(

This swap is no newbies i’m afraid, to join you’ll have to have:
*Completed the Newbie vs Vet Swap
*Have A well filled out profile with at least 1 project and 1 favourite.

The second rule is purely for your partners benefit but its still the rule- sorry luv!

I'll be extending the deadline now as I need a little more time to finish off other swaps, so theres time for you to get your projects published! ^_^

Hi again, seeing as we are running a little low on partners for this swap id love to.keep Mollysue in! Libby/ Dizzy can you confirm you'd be happy to swap with Molly?

Already sent you a message but I'd be happy to swap with her :)

Thanks Dizzy- Yep, I replied to your message, just think its better to have these discussions in the open sometimes!

Yeah that's fine with me. (Sorry about the late reply). So are you posting partners today then Hayley, or still keeping the extra week sign up? (I don't mind either way).

Cool, I know I keep messing with the swap deadlines with this one, sorry gals! Im house hunting and working on an article with July 1st deadline so I snowed myself under a little, but should hae more free time as of 2nd July- If its okay I think i will post parnters on 2nd July and then have the deadline for end of July still- you can of course send out earlier if you want too.

Thats fine. I've probably gonna start crafting this week, as I'm going on hol and want something to take with me.

You ladies rock, i did complete the newbie vet swap and i have a couple projects I am trying to post but i cant get my camera to load pics on my computer, :(

Partners are up! :) Contact your partner with your address unless you've already got it. Happy Crafting!

Sweet partners are up :) also has anyone else noticed the ad for wooden totoros on the side of this post, they've even fitted the ads into the theme of the swap lol

Oh yeah I hadn't noticed that ad. I can't decide if that's really cool or really creepy?

Contacting MollySue ....

A little of both I think Libby! ^__^

Dizzy/Applegrass- can you email me your addy? Not sure which of your profiles to message you on!

My bought item arrived today! Its very cute! I want one for me now! I've almost finished my first handmade item too.

I bought my item today too!!!! ^_^

It's so hard to pick one, I did manage to fill my etsy favorites up and I am pretty sure i know what i am going to get :)

Hey Dizzy, I'm moving 4th August- so let me know before you ship and i'll give you the best address to send to!

Hey y'all- Just checking in! Hows everyone getting on with their swaps? If you like- you can post a teaser picture here for your partner! ^_^

Making for this swap is on my back burner this week as I have a wedding gift to make for Thursday (I do like to leave things to the last minute), but it will have my undivided attention again next week : )

bought the last item i needed for creating yesterday and waiting for my etsy item, this is a fun swap but i have way to many ideas and everything i make i have to make one for myself :)

Me too Molly Sue- I always end up saying- this was the test one! And keep it for myself and make another (usually better one!)

Got the etsy item in the mail today and it is so cute! Got a couple things to finish up and It will be in the mail by the weekend :)

remember to post a teaser pic if you can Molly sue!

Should have it mailed some time next week when I've finished the last few things :)

I am moving on 4th August! So if you dont mind- can you hold off on posting for another week or so? I'll PM you my new address now x
