Check out the Ephemera Swap on the Canadian Swappers group!
Hi Di- I'm just wondering if you received my postcard from the 080808 swap yet? Let me know and if not, I'll send you a new one. Thanks
HI there
I have every swap in my calendar on my computer with due dates & reminders ~ Since I work from Home & am on the computer frequently this works for me ~ I also print off each swap the week before it has to be sent & have a corresponding basket to collect items for each set up in my gift cupboard in my craft room...I sign up for things that interest me & once I have an idea I start working on it right away (or planning for my next shopping trip) every thing goes in it's appropriate swap basket ~ I also have in my gift cupboard items I have purchased, pens, glue sticks, sticker, tea, coffee etc...the extras ~ I love to shop so when I see something interesting & unusual I purchase it & place in the cupboard ~ I eventually have someone that it suits perfectly ~ I love to gift people so I guess this makes it easy for me ~ hope that answers your question ~ hugs Diana aka farmer di
wooh! how do you keep track of all those swaps you are in? that's a lot!
Thanks for joining my "CROWNS" ATC Swap..I hope you enjoy!
