MLPArena Card Swap 2012 - all cards mailed

[Princess-Sparkles]

Aww I wish I could draw for mine. My ponies are preparing for Christmas pictures to be on my cards. 

I did that one year - might do it again - might draw - we'll see how busy I get...

Just sent my pm! I've been goofing off, one of these years I'm going to miss the deadline. I've said it before, but the card swap is the only time I look forward to checking the mail. 
I'm not expecting to really get into the Christmas spirit this year (long story), I hope this will help me along & give me some much needed holiday cheer.

Aw man, I missed the deadline! I've been so busy IRL I totally forgot to keep an eye open for this swap. I had such a fun time last year...
Is there any way I can sneak in? *has cookies* 
Ah well, have fun everyone!

Looks like we're going to have 36 swappers this year There's one more survey left to come in, but the person hasn't been on for 2 weeks, so I'm not hopeful. But to be fair, there's still 1 more day before the deadline.

Partner lists will be coming out this weekend!

Yeahhhh!

I'm still working on getting stuff together for my cards. Odd question what material would be good for making little Christmas Santa hats?

[Marigold]

Felt?

[ponylady]

I say felt too!!

And I can't wait to get my partner and get started!!

I *think* I have a plan for my cards...but this weekend will see if my skills are up to it or not !

What do members of the card swap think about repeat sends?

Meaning, if you are on one person's list for 2012, they keep your address for 2013 and onward?

I had this idea last year, but didn't get around to asking it.

Perhaps the swap moderator could add to the questionnaire (next year), and we could all PM her this year (if she wants, I am in no way trying to drown her out of mind with this) on those who are willing or unwilling.  Or, perhaps just write in our cards, 'you may keep my address' or something similar.

I had so much fun last year (and know I will this year!) doing this that I wouldn't mind just sending everyone a card!  Well... everyone willing, of course.  (Okay, so this may actually be cost restrictive too, depending on how many people sign up.)

Anyhow, just a thought!

Yay, we have 37 confirmed swappers.
Group lists will be going out this weekend, once I get them sorted out and finalized.


I think if members choose to keep (or swap) addresses for future on their own, that's their choice. I know a number of members that keep addresses from transactions so they can keep contact with people they've worked with, and even send their own cards. That would be outside the swap. Just like members that hold private swaps with people they've swapped with before - thsoe are outside the swap. Plus it would be nearly a nightmare to keep that data from year to year - of who participants each year and what their preferences are.

It's a nice idea, but definitely something that is up to the individual to do themselves.

Can't wait to get started!!

Working on sending out the lists

Got my list! I'm excited to get started on my cards!

(I think fleece would work well for Santa hats too! )
