Luvachicken Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I know I have mentioned the C word really, really early but I just needed a little something to do and I thought organising the Christmas swap would be a good idea, if "Ooops, word censored!"ody minds me doing it. I had my frozen shoulder operated on last Monday and now feel a bit better, with the rest of this week off, to catch up with my omlet friends. Resting has seen me think quite a lot about Christmas and wondering who would make what and having been taken out for soup at the weekend I saw that the garden centre had already cordoned off their area for Christmas, so I can't be thinking too early.

Cat tails Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yes yes yes! Please! I was just thinking about a swap a few days ago! (Maybe an autumn mini swap...?) I'm all up for the Christmas swap. Put my name down please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I haven't been on here for a while - life has been a bit hectic recently - but I could do with something to look forward to, so please count me in.

Luvachicken Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Gosh, thanks everyone I was expecting to be told off for thinking about it so early I know I make a list of everyone and keep adding those who want to take part and then tell you all your swappees but I don't know how to put the rules up or anything technical like that - don't worry though because I can do the PM part. Do I come up with a close by date and then check it is ok with everyone ? And a date for sending etc .....

Egluntyne Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It is kind of you to offer to run the swap luvachicken. Swap guidelines can be seen ~here~. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Eggers every time I see that strawberry it makes me smile! The cut off date is usually before the last posting sometime around the beginning of December. I have lots of thread to do things now luvachicken! Glad to see you are getting better.

Luvachicken Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thank you very much Egluntyne for posting the swap guidelines. I will pop to the post office to find out what the last posting dates are for here and abroad, now that I am allowed out and about, and also back to work tomorrow too. Valkyrie you would be impressed with my arm now, well a little bit anyway. I wonder what you will make with all that thread Christmas is coming ........

bluekarin Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ooh can I join in this year? I missed it last year and really loved seeing all the things made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have added you to the list bluekarin The last posting dates for the UK are 19th Dec and 18th Dec to the Netherlands, so I thought the last posting date for our parcels should be 11th Dec giving us plenty of time to get things made and sent. Cat tails, I can only seem to find last posting dates from the UK not from the Netherlands, does the 11th fit in with you ? It would be a good idea to get proof of postage when you send the parcel and if you could all let me know when you have posted and received your parcels that would be really helpful. I will ask for your addresses at a later date ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We don't really have something like a latest posting date. But it is said that it will take between 2 - 4 working days to get a package to the UK. So with the 11th of December it should give me enough time.

Luvachicken Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I was wondering if we should have a cut off date for Omleteers to join the Christmas swap ? I was thinking the 31st October, that way I can send all swap details on 1st November and that should give us all plenty of time to make and send. What do you all think ?
