~MCN Super Swap~

[stellarella]

Ok, it has been suggested that something fun for us clothies to do would be a kind of MCN secret santa...(thanks Oscars mum :D )

So lets all put our names down here if you are interested.

It will be for products we make ourselves...so nappies, knitteds, cloth pads (maybe ??)...

We will think about guidelines later, like how much to spend on materials etc.

but for now lets get everyones names together and we can work out how to do it.

any suggestions on how to organise it all is appreciated :D

What I thought was...everyone can get their names down...then everyone PM the coordinator...maybe Oscars mum if she wants to or I am happy to do it...

so PM the coordinator a little bit of info (like gender, size, and maybe a brief guideline, like you want a knitted for example)...then I will try and pair people off accordingly...I might have to sit it out...we will see...or maybe I can just divide them into knitters and sewers and draw them out of a hat.

Then I will PM each member with their person and description. so you will know who you are making it for but not who is making it for you...

Does that sound ok??

[cheezelkat]

thats fine - but you have to participate too because you knit so beautifully!

Oh I forgot to say I could make 2 or 3 nappies for one knitted or 1 nappy for 1 nappy - I don't mind either way :D

[kymmy]

I think a little questionaire to answer would help.
And maybe a quideline on how much to spend on materials. Rather than having a cloth wipe being swapped for pair of longies for example.

[Little_Toad]

I'll be in it too.

I also have HEAPS of print and plain PUL that anyone can have for $5 a cut. (PM me and I'll send a link after I've moved this week)

Shoukd we put down if we want or if we make a certain type of nappy?
ie. I make pocket nappies.

Suggestion. we could list publicly what type of nappy we wantm gender , size etc and at the end, people on the list can choose who they would want to make the nappy for. Does it have to be anonymous?

I will leave it open a bit longer to give everyone a chance to be in who wants to...then we will start collating a little description of what we can offer and what we would like...then pair off.

But I think it would be kinda fun if we dont know who is making for who.

At the moment I'm only confident making pocket nappies and bibs :yes:
I can do an inserts for the pocket I make for someone too - and obviously if what I'm getting is 'worth' more (ie. something knitted), then I would do two or so.

How about we set a cost to $10 then it will be $5 postage so $15 all up?

So then if your nappy only costs $5 to make then you will swap 2

For the Knitters,

will $10 be enough to make something?

[♥Heaven Sent♥]

I wish i could do it but i cant knit or sew,i am getting a sewing machine soon so i can learn how to sew.

[Tea Lady]

I'd be keen too. . :) I think the $10 limit is a good idea. You could knit a soaker or beanie or something in non-fancy wool for $10 - the only thing is it would take a LOT longer to make than say a pocket nappy. Does this matter?

I've got a few different things I could make so I'm wondering if the questionnaire thing would be a good idea - we could say what things we would like (eg 3 options) and also what we're able to make. Also it might be good if we could put down if there is any special colour / theme we're particularly keen on in case anyone is feeling very creative!

i got some wool from spotlight , 100% one for a soaker and only cost $6 for 100g:thumbsup:

[HoopDeeDoo]

Yes this time issue is one to to into account. It doesn't take very long to make a nappy, compared to something knitted.

And also the quality of the materials. If I use Malden Mills fleece the materials will cost me more than say spotlight fleece, or plain PUL. Not that that bothers me though because I think it's all in the spirit of the game IYKWIM

[Little_Toad]

I just got a heap of suedcloth I ordered in August!! and some Cow print suedcloth that I can sell off too if people want it. I'll work out what it costs for a nappy size cut.

I've also got some Aplix so I could possibly make up some complete nappy packs and sell ithem for $10. I'm pretty sure that would be equal to what I paid for it.

[stellarella]

Well for me personally, I would prefer to use hand dyed yarn, or something a bit nicer and receive something of good quality back.

I think if we are all trying to make it as cheap as possible then that kind detracts from the idea.

Dont forget its about presenting a good quality example of your product to other people.

I also agree that knitting is very labour intensive so I wont be knitting longies for anyone...LOL :laughing: Takes me about 6 days.

Hopefully we can all produce something that we would be happy to receive in return without too many rules.

[Zada]

Maybe we should go $20 or something, $10 even to make a nappy would only be a simple one KWIM? For starters anyone wanting to use print PUL that alone for a cut is $6-$10+ same as malden mills fleece is around $7/cut

[stellarella]

Yeah $20 as a rough guideline is good.....I think most nappies cost about that and I would like to use slightly more expensive yarn.

[Zada]

yep id rather use good quality materials too rather than something that wont last long:yes:

[Tea Lady]

How about this: (I did it in a table which was much better but couldn't work out how to put a table on here sorry!)

[Shanaynay]

What about if we kind of set the limit as in what you would pay for an item from an online store?

Eg. A soaker would be about $30 (for a basic one, I know), a nice fitted or AIO would maybe be about the same, and say, pockets that I make I would only sell for $15 (if I did sell them), so I would make 2 of those. Or one pllus an insert. And maybe $30 would equal 3 or 3 cloth pads, or 5 liners.....

So the things that cost more in material would be balanced out by how long knitted stuff takes to do?
Does that make sense?

So

1 soaker = 1 AIO/fitted = 2 pockets = 1 pocket with insert = 5 cloth liners = 2 or 3 cloth pads etc etc....

And does anyone do kids clothing or anything? Cuz that would fit in there basically you just do whatever would sell for around $30?
But obviously it wouldn't cost us $30 to make the thing - anywhere between $6 for knitted stuff to I don't know, $15 for some of the nappies..... but it would all equal out because of the time invloved.


Does any of that even make sense?


Little toad - Id so be interested in some PUL and suedecloth, nappy kits! When you get a bit of time can you plz PM me cost and types etc...

[M&M'sMummy]

Ok, so around $30? Sounds better, I just wasnt sure if everyone could afford that but then we all pay that for a nappy or knitteds anyways hey:laughing: :laughing:

I like the idea of being $30 for the value if you were purchasing a ready made item - so it doesn't mean it will cost $30 as such to make, but you could sell it for $30 if it were for sale

1 soaker = 1 AIO = 1 fitted = 2 pockets = 1 pocket with insert = 5 cloth liners = 2 or 3 cloth pads - I think this is a fantastic scale :yes:

I was going to say that about the liners, but then I thought maybe she meant liners as in pads?

Maybe we should only do pads if someone puts that as the number one choice?

We have decided we are not doing longies as they are very labour intensive and no nappy takes 6 days to make :laughing: ...so in fairness anything knitted will be a soaker or shorties at the most....

The guidelines are that we should spend around $20 on materials....but we will create something which might sell for $30....

1 soaker = 1 fitted = 1 AIO = 1 pocket (with stuffer) = 2 pockets (no stuffers) = 5 cloth liners (for mums) = 3 (?) cloth pads

His sick at the moment, and I think he's probably lost a bit of wieght and he's sleeping a lot but I'll try and get the measurements today

[stellarella]

Great work ladies, keep em coming!

Ok so just a few things...

I think we will leave it open til Monday morning to get your details in (ie. act together :p )...so if everyone can please have their details and addy in by Monday morning (30th), I will allocate all the secret santas then send out PMs on Monday evening (30th)...

I think maybe 2 weeks is long enough for everyone to make their gifts...is that fair...too long?? Feedback please! :D

So maybe the 14th of May for all gifts to be posted...how does that sound??

I am quite happy to make it earlier but just wanted to give everyone plenty of time, its meant to be fun, not stressful. Im thinking of the knitters here...but even I can knit longies in less than a week.....so if we want it shorter let me know.

Last thing, if you need to update your details, please send me a PM with the updates because I have already started a word document with all this info and I wont notice if you just update within the thread...So yeah, if you have already changed something just send the changes through in a PM.

Thanks :D

well the 14th was posting day...so thats 2 weeks to get your materials and make it, you dont have to post it til the 14th.

What does everyone else think about the posting day??

We could extend it a couple of days to the wednesday or something...

I wouldn't mind making something a bit "girly", just for a change. But if not, then I don't mind really. Will aim to please!

[Hannahs Mum]

3 weeks would be better for me.
Ive gone back to work, 3 days a week.

[Tea Lady]

I might struggle with the 2 week thing too - we're away for awhile during that time (with no net access) plus it's not unusual for nappy supplies to take up to a week to arrive. If I'm doing something knitted I can make it on my holiday though which would be fun :)

[stellarella]

well I think even if you ordered the stuff on monday night or tuesday...it might take a week to arrive, you would still have a whole week to make the item...if its a nappy wouldnt it only take a day?? if its a soaker a week would be fine dont you think...

well lets see what everyone else thinks...

[Zada]

maybe make it 3 weeks just to be safe? Never know if aust post is gonna loose an order or something:no:

[stellarella]

oki, 3 weeks it is...i just thought most people would have the materials as i thought everyone made stuff regularly...but thats cool, plenty of time this way.

that means no one will have an excuse for not getting it made on time :p we dont want anyone waiting 6 weeks or missing out on getting their gift.

[Zada]

i have a couple of materials needa find out who im making for first:p

[stellarella]

Hi ladies, 24 hours to get your details in and PM me your addy to confirm your involvement in the super swap.

You will have to wait for the next one (if there is one) otherwise....

This is the template.....

If the rise, waist and thigh measurements are holding you back then just leave them out and give an average weight or maybe the size nappy they normally wear.

Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. I am still waiting on quite a few details from people but I have said the cut off is tomorrow morning.

Not sure if I should be tough and make it a strict deadline or be lenient and wait until everyone gets it together...what do you think...

Evil and strict :devil6:

[Zada]

i reckon like a circle kinda thing:p Like A gets D, D gets C, B gets A etc etc mainly base it on what ppl want and who can make that for them KWIM?

[stellarella]

its like a circle, not pairs...you will have no idea who your secret santa is until your pressie arrives in the post ;) :smiliedance:

[OM]

Nah got yours bekky...I have everyones except kimbaleo...hmmmm, tricky one, what should we do??

haha i'll pm you now

[Foxymoron]

:smiliedance: Bring it on! I'm sooooooooo excited!

[OM]

How's it going sorting it out Stellarella?

[stellarella]

aaaargggh, hard!!

Nah I think ive got it sorted, now I just have to send out 23 different PMs eeek :eek:

Hope oscar stays asleep a bit longer...

[cheezelkat]

Thanks stellarella!

I'm about to start my project now :D

[OM]

aaaargggh, hard!!

Nah I think ive got it sorted, now I just have to send out 23 different PMs eeek :eek:


Your a legend for organising this:thumbsup:

[stellarella]

I have sent out 9 but now oscar is awake, so I had better feed him lunch :rolleyes: :laughing:

Sorry to those who are still waiting...shouldnt be too long...

[stellarella]

Oh how annoying...I just finished sending out all the PMs but I forgot to mention how much we are spending....

MATERIALS - around $20
VALUE OF ITEM - something you would sell for around $30

As we have discussed before, we should try to put an example of our best work out there. Something you would love to receive in return.

Oh, I think I have managed to include everyone, PLEASE dont let me have made any mistakes or left anyone out :fingerscrossed:

If the highly unlikely situation arises that someone (god forbid) misses out, I will knit them a pair of longies...promise. ;)

[MumsieMel]

Got mine, thanks so much for organising this! :)

[Foxymoron]

:smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance:

hehehe maximum smiley quota!

I'm a happy girl, I've got mine and I can't wait to get sewing.

[HoopDeeDoo]

thanks so much Stellarella - I will get my thinking cap on.

for the person that got me I'm sorry I wasn't very good with giving the details

Waist: 47cm

Rise: 45cm ?

This was with a nappy on

He is pretty skinny and on the smaller size for his age.

He fits into a large BP on the almost the tighest setting, so a med or large size nappy.

He's got skinny thighs so he'll need tight elastic :thumbsup:

In size 0 or 1 clothing - thank goodness for big cloth bum nappies

[stellarella]

Could Hannahs Mum PM me your addy pls??
I just need to forward it on to your secret santa...think i have everyone elses....

Some people left out their names in their addresses...LOL

So perhaps you will get some fluffy mail addressed to your username...hehe.

Nah, I will chase it up further down the track closer to posting day.

I am going to open up a thread for showing off our pressies too....

Cant wait for 3 weeks time :smiliedance:

[Shanaynay]

Can't wait :smiliedance:
I hope the person I've got will like what I'm going to make their little one! :smiliedance:

lol @ username fluffy mail, I got some addressed to 'phineas' the otherday, even though I gave them my name! :laughing:

[Zada]

i have an idea too just gotta get to the shops:smiliedance:

[OM]

Ooh this is sooo exciting - still tryna think what I am going to make for my person.

[kymmy]

Thanks stellarella :D

[M&M'sMummy]

Thanks for organising this stellarella!

I have my outer fabric, Not just thinking about the rest.......

[ikis84]

Thanks so much for organising this stellarella! It is so fun... I can't wait to get to the shops to buy supplies! It will have to wait until the weekend as I have prac this week, good thing we have a few weeks!

[~Kimba~]

Ella you're a legend :thumbsup: thanks so much for organising this and thanks to Oscar's Mum for the original idea! :yes:

I wish there was a sneaky way I could find out what sort of colours etc my person likes best, as they didn't say! Hmmm I just hope they like what I come up with...:fingerscrossed:

[Tea Lady]

I think you'd be pretty safe with mission brown and pumpkin orange Kimba... everyone likes those colours don't they?? That's what my person's getting anyway ;) :p

Ooooh I can't wait to get cracking! :D

[stellarella]

Ooooh I have already started on my secret gift...I want to keep it for myself, its lovely :yes:

[GraceUnhearing]

i started knitting mine too
it looks sooo nice
i want to keep it
but Rylan wouldnt look good in pink!

can we show off what we have made on here (without saying who its for) or is it a surprise until the person we are making it for gets it?

[Shanaynay]

I don't know, but if all goes to plan I won't be able to show what I've made for my person here, because if I can find the material I want, it will be obvious :smiliedance:
I know that doesn't make much sense but it will when it's all done :D

[Zada]

same here phineas mine would be a dead give away:D

[stellarella]

I suppose if you want to you can, but the show off thread was going to be for the recipient to show off what they got.

I wont be showing mine off, I want my recipient to be the first to see it. :smiliedance:

[Little_Toad]

'm off to buy my materials today.
Very excited. Hope my recipient likes it,

[OM]

I finally figured out what I am making for my person.

[HoopDeeDoo]

I'm still not really sure where to start - I have lots of fabrics to choose from, just not sure which kind of colours to use. The person I got is very tallented - it's a bit scary - i hope they like it

[kirstenriley]

cripes....im really nervous now....lol

[cheezelkat]

The person I'm making for is very talented too, I can't wait to send it to her!

[Zada]

tell ya what since its taken me ages to think up this great idea, ill be peeved if the shop doesnt have what i want:laughing:

[Little_Toad]

I migbht even use my overlocker for this one!!

Lots of exciting stuff.

[ikis84]

ooohh, how exciting! I think that the recipient should be the first to see it - and they can show it off :D

[Foxymoron]

Yes I'm a bit nervy too LOL, many talented ladies here :thumbsup:

I have some lush material but I want to make sure my creation will be funky enough... not sure what to use for an outer yet.

[GraceUnhearing]

it is exciting

:smiliedance: :yelclap: :smiliedance:

mines getting to a good start!

[HoopDeeDoo]

I've started cutting out, but I'm stuck cause I need to leave the house to get matching threads :laughing:

[jembelina]

I can't wait to see all the finished products!!!
I can't sew or knit, but df is bringing me home knitting needles tonight so I can start to teach myself! I have all these ideas in my head, but can't do anything about them!!

[shed]

Got my stuff today and will start working on it tomorrow, if bubby gives me a minute's peace!

[kirstenriley]

i went and got my wool yesterday...DS helped me pick it out...it soo exciting...now im praying i dont stuff it up and that it turns out the way i have it pictured in my head....lol!!!!

[Tea Lady]

Mine's nearly finished :smiliedance:

Do we HAVE to wait till the posting date, or can we send it early??

[kymmy]

I think we are all posting on the same day. So people aren't waiting too long.

[Tea Lady]

Sounds fair :) (Plus then I can decide if I want to keep it and make my person something else!!! )

[Zada]

im a bit peeved now, went to spotlight knowing exactly what i wanted and well its not something difficult to be looking for, do ya think they had anything i was looking for?:banghead: I had like 3-4 things in mind none at all:thumbsdown:

Now i have to think of another brilliant idea:(

[HoopDeeDoo]

:smiliedance: :yelclap: :smiliedance:

I've finished!!!

It's sooo cool that Noah wants me to make him one :D

[Foxymoron]

You legend hoopdedoo!

I've not started but I know what I want to make now:thumbsup:

[cheezelkat]

I can't wait to see pics :D

I'm only 1/4 way through mine so far. Got other projects I'm rushing through first LOL

[shed]

I gotta tell ya, my first attempt SUCKS big time.

I won't tell you too much about what it is, but its something new to me and I really managed to stuff it up. It looks so homemade and amateurish.

On to Plan B.

[OM]

I am finished most of mine just have to get one part of it snapped:D

[HoopDeeDoo]

I could snap it for ya if you want to drive to Canberra :laughing:

[OM]

I could snap it for ya if you want to drive to Canberra :laughing:

Just to see you Hoop - why not, it's only what a good day and bit drive:p

[Zada]

i havent even started after spotlight spolied my idea:thumbsdown: Watching something on ebay hope it will get here in time:fingerscrossed:

[HoopDeeDoo]

Just to see you Hoop - why not, it's only what a good day and bit drive:p

Oh isn't that lovely that you'd drive all that way for little ol me, I'd love to see you too :D :hugs:

[Foxymoron]

I just got some of that Avlyn minkee in purple tie dye... but it won't arrive in time, I hope my other idea works out lol.

[Zada]

i found some minkee that would have been perfect but takes too long to get here

[GraceUnhearing]

i have just sewn up the legs on mine :)

it looks great i'd keep it but DS doesn't look good in pink
hahaha

im very happy with it!

[Foxymoron]

I've made a start on mine too, I just hope it works out!

[HoopDeeDoo]

maybe if everyone gets them finished sooner we can send them out sooner :confused: :D

[kymmy]

Well um should I admit I haven't started yet?. I do have the idea and just need to get on it. Hoping to finish it in the next week.

[Shanaynay]

I haven't started yet either :o
I do have an idea tho :D

[Zada]

i havent either waiting for mail to start

[bekkyboo]

Can i have a cry???

I had a great idea.... It got deflated...

And the awesomeness of the person i got is SO intimitdating that i havnet been able to start for fear of screwing uP!!!

I got some great material yesterday.... So ill get started soon... BUT MAN!!!! confidence is at a shocking low - i have to get my butt into gear.

[Foxymoron]

:eek: <-Is this you? LOL it's what I look like... I'm very afraid. Every stitch I did last night was s-l-o-w...
You'll be fine Beckyboo, you are awesome too ya know. :thumbsup:

[bekkyboo]

Yeah... I was like..... uhhhhh oooooooooo ..... Ive spent hours trawling through spotting thinking and thinking what to do.... I feel like making heaps just to make sure that at least 1 thing is right!

[HoopDeeDoo]

I felt/feel the same. I feel like I should make more, even though I know it's good, I'm still a bit worried. I don't want to let the person down :no:

[GraceUnhearing]

im finished a it looks great!! (if i do say so myself)

if i had a girl i'd keep it myself

i did get Ds to model it though
haha

DF wasnt impressed boys dont wear pink apparently

[M&M'sMummy]

Im still waiting on my materials, Hopefully they will be here by friday so I can sew in the weekend:fingerscrossed:

This is the best idea! So fun

[shed]

ooh, aren't we a funny lot, we are all so nervous about pleasing the recipient!! Its so funny because when I think about what I am receiving I think "it doesn't matter coz its just for fun" but when I think about what I am sending its like "it has to be perfect and she has to love it!"

I am going to have another go at mine today. Same thing but a bit better technically. The other one was awful. It would work but it has got too many mistakes in it.

[ikis84]

So true shed! I am not worried about what I am recieving, as it is just for fun, but I am being meticulous about what I am sending out! I was so annoyed today, I had a great idea, but couldn't find the particular thing I was looking for :banghead: I wish I was more skilled and could bring all my great ideas to fruition!

[stellarella]

Well I have not started either :o

I did finish something but decided I want to perfect my own pattern and knit it from that instead....so I might start tomorrow....

It wont take me long though...:fingerscrossed: Unless disaster strikes!

Can anyone who didnt get their recipients full address details PM me and I will chase it up for you...there were only a few people...:D

[MumsieMel]

Finished mine!!!

Hope my person likes them, im sooo nervous, :barf: all these talented people!!!! :thumbsup:

[Tea Lady]

Well I'm starting again I think.........:banghead: :rolleyes: :p


PS whoever has me, whatever you make will be just luffly :)

[ikis84]

Umm... I forget what the deadline is again, and couldn't be stuffed going through the thread to find out... can someone enlighten me please?

[shed]

oh, same here, whats the posting date? I thought it was the 14th but then there was some discussion on making it three weeks instead of two, which would make it the Monday after

[Shanaynay]

The PM says we send it out on Monday the 21st:yes:

[BiNdI86]

Finished mine!!!

Hope my person likes them, im sooo nervous, :barf: all these talented people!!!! :thumbsup:



oh!! I know how you feel. I think DH is sick of me saying "Do you REALLY think it's good??"

[stellarella]

Yep posting day is the 21st its a Monday.

Dont forget if you need any more details of your recipients to PM me...ta.

[OM]

I think my person will like it - otherwise they are welcome to lie and tell me they liked it when they really didn't:p

[~Kimba~]

Ooh I'm excited.

I hope my person likes theirs, and I hope it fits!!!

[Zada]

got the material today yay. Only thing ill be worried about is if it will fit:fingerscrossed:

[OM]

Only thing ill be worried about is if it will fit:fingerscrossed:

I am a little nervous about sizing too;)

[Jazuli]

Hi sorry to barge in. I have just found this thread, i would love to join in if its not too late, from the few pages i did read it sounds like it might be. I make a great AIO. i didnt feel like reading all 22 pages to see if it was too late.

[kymmy]

Hey Julie :wave:
Hopefully we can do another swap in the future. I would be up for that.

[GraceUnhearing]

Hi sorry to barge in. I have just found this thread, i would love to join in if its not too late, from the few pages i did read it sounds like it might be. I make a great AIO. i didnt feel like reading all 22 pages to see if it was too late.

we've all already got our 'person'
so yeah i think it would be to late.

i think if this one goes well we'll do another one :thumbsup:

or you could always just make me (DS) a AIO
hahahaha

[Little_Toad]

I started mine tonight thinking the closing date was on the 15th.

I could have had some sleep!!

Very excited about sending mne out, still have to get some more material.

I overspent so hope that's ok.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has made!!

[Hannahs Mum]

Im really happy with mine all ready to post.
Just worried about fit..

[wattle]

I've finished mine. Hope it fits ok, can't wait until posting day now. :yes:

[kirstenriley]

well im half finished mine, im pretty happy with it so far, although i think it might be a little too big...but better too big than too small right?....RIGHT????...

lol

[OM]

well im half finished mine, im pretty happy with it so far, although i think it might be a little too big...but better too big than too small right?....RIGHT????...

lol

Very true:thumbsup:

[Hannahs Mum]

So its in the mail......
Ive wrapped and posted it... now all I have to do is wait.:p

[stellarella]

Ummmm. I think I have announced on here that the posting date is the 21st May about 3 times.....

Just to re-iterate that...

As requested, the posting date is 21st May (which is next Monday)...everyone wanted 3 weeks to complete the item so that is why we made it 3 weeks... ;)

[HoopDeeDoo]

So does that mean I can send mine? :D

[Zada]

posted already?

[HoopDeeDoo]

Ok I'll wait :p

[stellarella]

LOL...initially I thought 2 weeks would be plenty, but quite a few people said it was not enough time so the date was set at 3 weeks to complete the item....

Please hold on another week so we can all post at the same time....:thumbsup:

ETA: Everyone got a PM with the posting date in it didnt they?? When I sent out the details of your recipient....(hope I remembered to do that, can someone confirm)

[kymmy]

It said 21st in my PM Stellarella :thumbsup:

I am thinking of mine a lot. Should finish it in the next few days so it has a chance to dry before posting.

[Hannahs Mum]

Opps I got the impression that today was the final day.
I sent it express post aswell.

[GraceUnhearing]

Opps I got the impression that today was the final day.
I sent it express post aswell.

i guess someone will get a surprise tomorrow then
haha

[Hannahs Mum]

:hugs: ohh well hope they like it.
I guess they are going to know its from me.:wizard:
No surprises there.

[Shanaynay]

Ooooo I hope i'm the lucky one to get something tomorrow :D

I haven't even started mine let alone posted it! But I do have the materials! I will def have it posted next Monday:yes:

[ikis84]

I really need the extra time :)

Whoever gets the surprise will just have to leave it unopened until next week, lmao... as if anyone would be able to handle the suspense!

Are we going to say who did what in the end?

[stellarella]

Yeah I thought we could all reveal ourselves with our package...maybe leave a little note..

:wizard: "SURPRISE: Your Secret Santa was stellarella" or something like that...whatever you want really...

[shed]

No, no reveal!!!

I don't want to know when I open it.

Lets just send them and then discuss the reveal later, when all the parcels are opened.

[GraceUnhearing]

i was going to send a letter with mine saying that i had made it.

what does everyone else think?

[OM]

I think put in a note if you want - if you want to wait then reveal later then do it then what does everyone else think?

I don't mind either way, but I would like to put in a note about what the materials are.
