February Hipmama Craft Swap

Ok I'm here let's do this thang. :-D

yay!

So...any wishlists out there? I'm a lover of buddhas, mix CDs, octopi, poetry, chinese medicine, and other stuff that I will think about and come back with. I am not a lover super religious stuff nor frilly lacey things. Once again, something I need to think about a little bit more...

ok ladies, I've never done this before, especially through such a fancy set up... what kind of things do people want??

ok, i'm the odd gal out - what happens now? i had a dream about this last night, so i thought i should sign up.

what now??

sq, i read it and thought you said that you WERE a lover of super religous stuff....and i thought to myself - "wow, that doesnt sound like SQ" and then realized i was right!

i've never done this before either....

Here I am! Now we're an even ten! :) I just got some beautiful and spring-like fabric at the thrift shop so I'm raring to go!

so glad everyone is here!! the day it will swap partners is Thursday (this is also the last day to join) I can back that up and the due date if you all want me too. i'm excited!!

so what does everyone want?? i'm kind of wingin' it over here.

I like the idea of mix cds - especially if they are labeled and can turn me onto new music! Ummmmm, I like photography and tattoos and babies and ummmm organic and natural things... this is really hard for some reason, I can't think of whatelse to point out. I guess I like whatever I'm gonna get! Now you guys have to tell us what you like.

Would you hotties kindly update your profiles when you have time (I know you have a lot of it...yeah, yeah...but I figured I'd ask. LOL)? I use profiles as a crutch, and I feel like I have nothin' to lean on here.

SQ I didn't even realize there were profiles here!! I'll update mine asap.

Our HM profile or is there a swap bot profile?

Oh...there's a swap bot profile. It asks some silly questions like favorite movies and stuff, but it ends up being a good way to gauge what kind of stuff, or maybe designs to use when you're making the craft. You know...I like to make my stuff sort of personalized.

hi I'm on board too! I don't feel like editing my profile further, but my interests in terms of imagery or colors are such as: India, elephants, hanuman, yin yang, buddhist, tibetan, etc trees, flowers, butterflies, spirals, polka dots, 'mod' shapes, glitter, dragonflies.. earthy shades (plum, ivory, brown, burgundy, olive, forest), blues, pinks, black, or totally rainbow. no neons. all eras except the 80's in terms of fashion trends I live in a warm climate

yah, that's about it. can't wait to get craftin

I'm in

Okay, I am in my first swap, I guess I need to edit my profile, now how do I proceed? Does someone choose me, or the other way around?

i updated my profile. damn those things are hard - how can i fit all the good stuff about me in there????

Okay, I think I get it now. I love mix cd's, I love foody things, crafts are great too! Clothes prob out of the ? for me I am plus-sized. I am pretty easy to please.

You're profile is so cute jenjonk. haha

WMS...I ashamedly like Tori Amos too. Just so ya know.

good, glad its not just me too..lol :)

hey- i like tori, too. who doesn't?

thanks sq...

i like tori, but mostly her old stuff. it reminds me of high school.

Okay, hmm I had to re-sign up for this website. But I see my comments are still here.......hmmm.

WMS- You are signed up twice. Let me know which account you want to keep. I pm'd you on hipmama.

Ok, I will wait a little longer... How stoked do you think I am that first thing Thursday morning, I check to see who I got in the swap so that I can start crafting :)

ok. whos my partner.....its thursday!!!

Sorry..lol I am so computer retarded sometimes!

omg i'm obsessed!!! i check this thing every 5 mins......WHO IS MY PARTNER???? (i need to go have a shower.)

how do we know?

calm down ladies! :) swaping now......

thanks mt!

I love color~all of them actually, deep, bright, pastels with deep colors but not on their own (most of the time). I am having a hard time even thinking of things I don't like~ I am vegan so preferably no animal bits I have a wicked metal allergy. I guess it's nickel, gives me a horrible rash especially on my neck. I have very limited space so anything that is functional is best but if someone makes me a paper mache bust, I'll put up a shelf.

O.K., Here I am and I've finally filled out a profile and I checked up on my partner. I believe some performance anxiety has begun to set in too.....:)

umm, ya. i'm with you meg!

hey what's wrong with Tori Amos? i LOOOOOOVE her. she is my all-time favorite musician ever!!!!!!!

by the way, partner, i'll actually fill out my profile now!

Soooooo Do we ask our partner what they might like or do we keep our partners in the dark? Hmmm cause my partners profile is blank.. So I'm in the dark.. lol

PortlandMama- You can ask if you want to!! I am about to... I suck at suprises. I just think most people like to make it a suprise.

I would love to make it a surprise.. But what I plan on making requires measurements from my partner.. lol

Hi everybody. Things are going pretty well here and I will be setting up a new user id on HM in the next couple of days. One thing that would help would be an idea of my swap partner's favorite colors. (hint-hint)

Hmmm...hint taken. I love GREEN. Oh yeah, and GREEN. I think GREEN is pretty good too. When green, green and green aren't around, I like brown, red, orange and yellow.

i like darker colors rather than pastels. i like warm colors like reds and pinks, but i like dark blues too. i love brown.

i love them all. bright happy colors and small flower prints (calicos) are my favorite.

ok, i like earthy colours...incase anyone needs to know.. :)

I also like earthy colors, but I'm not picky... but the real question is - what kind if music does my swapee like???

deep blues, purples, and greens I loooove rich colors.

I have all my music in my profile...

Meeshel..Does that mean I am your swapee?? Hmm I think I am, I love all sorts of music, alternative, rock, I love old 80's pop stuff. And of course Tori Amos, hmm did I mention that already??? I hope my swapee likes to eat??lol

Ladies-- I can't get on hipmama. Yikes.... the withdrawl. I am pretty sure this baby is coming sooner than expected. My craft may ship out a little bit late due to bedrest and possibly BIRTH! I'll update more when I can get on Hipmama again.

I know, I was locked out earlier too. Good luck MT and happy baby birthin!

item sent! Yay

okay...shipping tomorrow...sorry it was late AND disclaimer -- if it rains again tomorrow i won\'t be getting to the post office...

and to my swap buddy -- sorry i never filled out my profile

totally spaced on that

hello!! im shipping it out today..i'm sorry that its a day late. I had the postage purchased, and then lost some of it. So today is the day!!

and its coming from canada, so it might be a week or probably more!

mine went out this morning...only a day late due the storm as it had been finished for a few days

now i am awaiting a prize in my mailbox ;)

yikes! mine is being sent out monday the 26th. for some reason I had it in my head that the deadline was the 28th at the end of the month, it\'s even in my calendar! you\'ll get it this week, swap buddy.

Should we post here once we get our goodies?? I was just wondering if my swap person had recieved thier stuff yet??

Hey WMS...did you send the jam to meeshel? she posted about it on HM.
