Problems with ravynscry (formerly titled "Prop Swap Closed and totals final!!!")

Jan 31, 2007

    1. Hi all,

      I was thinking that alot of people like to swap it's fun. I know we do alot of one on one swaps so here is the thing I would like to do a Central Swap. That means that you would be place in a group of no more than ten. You would make ten of the same item and send your items to me and I would send them out. You would send out ten items and get ten back. You would also send shipping I would think $5 across the board for the states and international would cover it.

      But I want it to be open to everyone and to save on shipping I would need someone who isn't in the states to be the central swap mommy or daddy for Europe.

      As I said it would be groups of ten (that means you will send out 9 items.) The groups will be broken into three different groups Large Dolls (60 cm range), Mini Dolls (45cm range), and Tiny doll(35 cm and under). You can join more than one group (You must make or buy a different item for each group you join. BUT..... Please do not sign up if you cannot fullfill your swap. Items could be made or bought and you will only need to make one item for each person. I will not set a price range so keep it honest, and swap things you would want to get.

      This will be a prop swap. I will be taking names from now until 2/14/07 you will have until the 28th of Feb to Post mark your items. This of course will slow us down as there will be some people that are out of the states. But I will post when I have recived each swap box and when they go out. If your items are not recived you will be marked as not swapped and you will not recived anything. (That is the beauty of a Central Point Swap. No one sends out and doesn't get back.)

      Suggested items are

      Books,Keys,pillows,food,drink, office supplies,and anything else that isn't clothing. Purses are acceptable.

      You will need to send this info in a PM to me:

      1 Your dolls name and what group he or she will be in.

      2 How many groups you would like to be in.

      3 which CP you have (ie States or Europe)

      4 Your mailing address. (Please Provied this info with your first PM)

      Feel free to PM me with questions.Also if you could please inclose your shipping with you items that would be wonderful. And if you want to sign up for two groups I will be glad to do that for you just as soon as the first group it full. 10 people to each group.

      Thank you
      Nicole :)

    2. Sounds fun!
       
    3. What if one isn't in the US or Europe?
       
    4. Dezarri,

      Where?

      Nicole
       
    5. I'm in Japan too, but this sounds fun! If there's an Asia group I'll join!
       
    6. I PM'ed you! Hopefully I'll be able to make ten things. xD
       
    7. I think if I could find one person out of the us they could host for everyone that isn't US or Canada. What do you think. I don't know what international shipping is. But I will go look now and find out if it isn't too high from the states I will host international as well.

      Nicole
       
    8. oh hi hate to hijack your thread but I have pm'ed you twice about the magazine.. are you not doing it anymore?
       
    9. I am so sorry I haven't been getting very many of my pms. I will be putting it on hold as I haven't been about to do much work on an outline and I didn't have but 3 or four offers for articals.

      Sorry,

      Nicole
       
    10. Ok,

      I checked the Global Priority Mail shipping and it says $4.25 and up so I think about $5 for global shipping would be ok. So I will make shipping $5 acroos the board for global and state side shipping. The items will have to be able to fit in the global mailing envelopes. How does that sound?

      Nicole
       
    11. oh weird because the 'read' receipts were coming back to me like you read them ! strange system huh?

      Okay well I hope it works out ! take care
       
    12. Hey no problem and I will let you know if anything changes. I don't know about this pm system I know it looses alot of my pms even the ones I try to send.
       
    13. we have three swappers so far.

      Nicole :)
       
    14. Do you have to make the items or could you find them in a store as well? *isn't very craftily inclined...*
       
    15. You can buy they or make them but all 10 have to be the same item. I am not so crafty either.

      Nicole :)
       
    16. Excellent. You can tentatively add me in. I needs to go hunting!
       
    17. Sure just pm me all the info I need from the first post.

      Nicole :)
       
    18. I think $5 shipping is acceptable, especially if it simplifies everything and makes everyone one big group.
       
    19. Can they have color variation, if they're all the same type of item? Example, a book, but with different color covers.
       
    20. interesting idea, I'd like to join but I'd have to figure out what to do
       
    21. Sure color variation is ok.

      Nicole :)
       
    22. *BUMP* Lets keep this one going.

      Nicole :)
       
    23. Please read first post to see when your swap items must be put in the mail by.

      Thank you

      Nicole :)
       
    24. I think I'll be able to do some stuff... maybe food?
      Who knows. I'll come up with something.

      Yay for props!
       
    25. There are now 5 for the large doll swap and just myself for the Mini dolls. Where are all my mini swappers?

      Nicole :)
       
    26. They'll come, I'm sure!
       
    27. BUMP for tonight
       
    28. BUMP for sunday
       
    29. Trying to keep this swap alive here. LOL

      Nicole
       
    30. Trying hard to think of something I could do ten of.*_*
       
    31. Pillows, books, mugs, printies (ie money, mail, packages.) Shop dollar stores.

      HTH

      Nicole
       
    32. Hmmm.. I'm thinking I'll make food. Yes.
      I just need to get some sculpey in the right colors! XD

      Yay!
       
    33. I know what I will be making. And if there isn't anyone that joins the mini doll group then at least I will have practice. LOL

      Nicole
       
    34. Another swapper added. Seven all together.

      Nicole
       
    35. Bump for monday.
       
    36. I'm in if Asian swappers are okay (located in Malaysia...)
       
    37. You sure are ok with me.
      Just send me the answers to the questions in the first post through pm.

      THank you
      Nicole
       
    38. Awesome. Sent the pm, let me know if you didn't get it.

      I wonder if it'll be adviseable to make a listing of who's making what so we don't get too many duplicates? I'm thinking there may be a lot of cakes and books...


       
    39. That sounds like a good idea, but I know a few people were going to buy things so I don't know if they will just buy something when they see it or if they already know what they want to get. I will add you to the list this evening.
      Nicole
       
    40. I can't wait for this to get underway!

      Is it okay to make scarves? I know they might be considered clothes, but I love making wee scarves. ^_^
       
    41. I was thinking of making one of a kind scrapbooks. Will that be ok?
       
    42. ...though I suggested making the list, I'm sadly one of those who is gonna buy some stuffs when I see it... ^^;;; because I don't know if the mini-pliers I saw last time will
      still be around when I finally go buy it.

      ah well, just thought it'd be a useful reference so we don't all end up buying the same stuff.

      I was thinking of pliers and insects and glass jars... does that work for feminine dollies as well? Or perhaps I should know how many would prefer a girlier gift?
       
    43. Scarves are ok too. I was trying to stay away from things like pants or shirts. But accessories are ok in this swap as well.

      Nicole :)
       
    44. Scrapooks are wonderful.

      And I think jinlin anything you chooses would be cool by me as I am in you swap group and I am not picky. I doubt anyone else will be.

      I still and trying to decide what item I will do.

      NIcole :)

      BTW, If you would like to tell us what you will be making or buying I will gladly put i by your name.
       
    45. So far I plan on making miniature chocolates.
       
    46. I'll see if I can make ten bunnies. Just simple stuffed bunnies. That okay? Anyone prefer teddy bears instead?
      (non-jointed) :sweat (not enough time to make ten jointed ones)
       
    47. Hi all,

      I have made a few additions to the list. And have a few things to add about the swap. I will be pming my mailing addy to those already joined this evening. Also if you could please inclose your shipping with you items that would be wonderful.

      And if you want to sign up for two groups I will be glad to do that for you just as soon as the first group it full. 10 people to each group.

      Thank you

      Nicole :)

    50. I will have another addition to the list tonight.

      Nicole
       
    51. I have another swapper added.

      Nicole :)
       
    52. One of our swappers would like to know if all msd's have s hooks in their wrists.

      Nicole
       
    53. will be making updates to the swap list this evening.

      Nicole
       
    54. If you mean specifically Volks Mini Super Dollfies, yeah...

      If you mean Minis in general, then no. Doc's definitely do not have them (not sure about Petsha though).
       
    55. Thanks for the info I shall pass it along.

      Nicole
       
    56. I want in! :apig: Sent you a PM with requested info.
       
    57. Pm'd you. I would like to join when it gets up and running.
       
    58. I didn't get your pm? Must be the pming system again.

      Nicole :)
       
    59. I think I'd like to join. I'm sure I can come up with something to make. Unfortunatly, all of the good props I can think of would be for MSD, and Iv'e got an SD... drat.
      But there's only one spot left....
      *Indecisive much*
      Edit Yes! I've got a great idea! *goes to send pm!*
       
    60. Woo! I finished all my items... made some food (I wont tell you what kind. Let it be a surprise!) our of sculpey. Just have to bake it and package it!

      This is so fun!
