Off to bed for Zenna, we have 8 swappers with a handful more pending ref checks.    Thanks for your patience, guys!

can i see some past example of bookmarks? just to give me an idea on how they have been done.

[HolidayArtSwap]

Just waiting on a couple more references to respond, I will have the partner lists out no later than this weekend!   

[ZennaBug]

We have a great participant list this year, I can't wait to get the lists out and get started!

Sure thing!  Here's the bookmarks I made a couple years ago when we did bookmarks last.    We had an odd number of swappers, so I made two, you don't have to make more than the one.

You can put your own twist on your own bookmarks, however you feel will look best.  I'm lucky and have a laminator at work (one of the perks of being a teacher... ), so my bookmark will be laminated.  Some people add tassles, some make their bookmark digitally and then print it; the sky's the limit.  The only real requirement is that your bookmark be sturdy enough to actually use as a bookmark.

The bookmark on the left was sent to me by Zenna and I loved it! Still do, and I am actually using it, right now!

[ZennaBug]

Awww, thanks!    I'm happy to hear that it has held up so well and that you like it. 

[Griffin]

Haha, emuel - that's awesome! And I don't even think our personas look that similar.

Any news on the partners yet? For international mail there's less than two weeks to the recommended shipping date (the one our postal company gives, that is - which is Dec 13th, or later if it's within Europe).

Are we going to list favourite ponies for our partners to pick from, or will it be a complete surprise? I guess it's always safe to draw their persona if they have one... if no wishlists are provided. I'm fine with anything, surprises are fun.

Hoorah, last references came in!  Partner list will go out within the hour.  Stay tuned!

In the signup forms, everyone provided favorite ponies for their partner.    We are ready to go!

*ETA*  Partners assigned, you should all have a PM in your inbox!

Thanks for your patience, guys!    Getting the swap up and running was a whole lot easier last year when I worked part time.  With 3 jobs, it took a little longer than I had intended this year.    Feel free to pelt me with fakies.



If you need help, ideas, have questions, or want to chat about the swap, your best bet is to PM this account, as I check in here more often than the HAS account.

Yeah I just realized, I'm such a dork    

Got my partner, thanks! ^^ Eeep, now I just have to find the time to start working on this.

// I also realized I should've given my parents' address instead as I'm spending the holiday there...    It's nothing serious but my partner would probably like to know the bookmark arrived safely, and I can't give them an update until January... unless I receive it before I go, of course.

question for partner.
would you like the bookmarker laminated. if yes. gloss or matte?

[MikeysGrrrl]

Woohoo, I got my partner! Super excited

Now to just find some time to do it, less than 2 weeks to go before it needs to be mailed out and so many commissions on the go, oh my It's all good, I work quite well under pressure

would you like the bookmarker laminated. if yes. gloss or matte?
I'm happy either way, laminating I think would make the bookmark last longer, however since it's done on cardstock it's fairly sturdy so it's up to you partner
