TINY PONY SWAP - SHIPPING TIME! :)

[lochnessmomster]

I hope everything went alright for your dad Tula.


I'm new to the swapping, but I've kinda set up a system that helps me. I have a crate with all my boxes in it, and I taped to each box a paper label. It has my partner, address and a list of all the items that go in the box. I have it set up like a check list, so I can go through it at anytime and fix things. It's worked so far...now if the end of this my partner gets the wrong box I didn't do well.

Wow, Mad... for being relatively new to swaps, you sure do have an organized system set up!  I'm so impressed!

I'm a check list girl, and I think organizing for all my different class periods has trained me well in multitasking with different objects. I always have different assignments sectioned off for each class.

Teach me! LOL. I am great at organizing and multi-tasking, but I lack the daily motivation.  It comes in spurts for me.  I have such a hard time maintaining momentum and keeping up with the most mundane of tasks.

Wow I do the same thing too. The name and address and the items checklist.  When I get stuff in the mail I ordered I check it off and once everything is in the box, its wrapped and closed up.  I also copy and paste my partners wish list into my computer so I can refer to it without going online and I always put the addy on their wishlist on my computer so i can reprint it should I lose the first one due to a dog that likes paper.  But all of this still makes me freak so I check and recheck the names and addy's to make sure the right box goes to the right person. Even all the organizational things I do to help myself, I never feel completely safe.  LOL

I definitely relate to this.  While I have been very organized with the swaps, I am still afraid of leaving something behind, putting something in the box that shouldn't be there, or sending it to the wrong place.  I think it's a normal fear, but it's easy to feel isolated.  It's always a good feeling to know you're not alone in something.

Ok I have a really stupid question, we don't have to gift wrap the candy, right? I've never done that in the other swaps I've been in, but I wasn't sure about this one.

You don't have to Ember, I'm not wrapping mine

I know, right?? Yum!!

[tulagirl]

Okay thanks alot..diet out the window. ROFLOL

[moonflower]

Wow, those cupcakes look fab!

I've nearly finished wrapping everything! There was a couple of little things that have not arrived yet but if they do not arrive in time it is not the end of the world, it just would have been good!

One thing that I really didn't think would turn up in time arrived this morning. It is really neat and I now want one for myself!

[tulagirl]

That happens to me sometimes too Moonflower. I usually end up buying myself things that I find for my partner...if I love it too.  Especially a pony I would never have thought I would like until it arrived and then I am say, "oh I have to get myself one of these."  I would say swaps have fed my collection quite a bit lol.
