I've gotten a couple of each style done, I'll probably have a mixed set 'cuz i'm having a hard time concentrating on one thing long enough to make 10, lol
I have my first set done for about two weeks now. I plan on at least one more set maybe two. Is anyone else doing more than one set? I was wondering if I will get some of my own back. Hope not. Jackie
Hey Jackie (r u my guild Jackie?), noone will receive any of their own back unless I just screw up, lol. (And of course, as long as they're acceptable swapage: well-constructed, created by you, true to the intent of the swap, etc.) In my own swaps I always make several different styles so to better accomodate the folks that send in multiples. Be aware tho', that if most people send in single sets you will get some duplicates back. I'll do my best to make it a mixed lot tho'. Best thing about sending multiple sets is you're guaranteed at least one from everybody.
Thank you, I think I understand. Thank you for being the leader of this swap! No, I don't think I am the Jackie from your guild. Unless you are in NW PA. Are you?
I was hoping to do more than one set, but at this point, I'll be happy with completing one set! Someone please stop me from buying more supplies!! I keep coming up with ideas and thinking: oh, I should buy some _____ to experiment with!
Mine are almost done - I will be mailing tomorrow after work. Toryam - I will be sending to your address in the row by row unless you tell me otherwise.

I have JS's beautiful dorset button charms in my greedy little hands & I WANT THEM ALL!! (the best part of being the hostess is I get first pick, lol) dont hate me
Irish - are you still into making the dorset buttons? I still have the one you sent for my first inchie swap! That was the first time I had ever heard of them
I have made more of the Dorsett buttons, but added french knots to the center....it resembles a bouquet then. I am frantically trying to make my bits work for the mail date tomorrow. I know, last minute...that's what I do!
You are going to have so much fun looking through all of the packages . I took some pictures of mine, but should have picked a different background to put them on, or taken them outside for natural light. I have a feeling that my two little ones are going to be as excited as me when my package of charms arrives in the mail.
Tory - I messed up and did not get mine mailed. Sorry - it was a crazy weekend and very few things went as planned. I will save them for the next round.

I shared the pictures of mine with a local friend and will be doing show and tell with my art quilt group the next time that we meet. I may end up with a local swap with some of my friends here .
I don't know what I'm going to do with mine...I might start a collector hat. JS is going to put her's on her chatelaine, I might have to copy her...(insert shrugging icon here)
I was in the pool Thursday preping to teach water aerobics at the community college.
Alex - tell us more about the art show! I bet it was a blast!
I don't know when I'll do another swap, feel free to host one if you'd like. Things are getting crazy here: lifeguarding on base & water aerobics starting at CC, DH looking for a new job, working on the old house and trying to sell this one. I'm trying to stay out of any new projects till after school starts again, lol. I actually sat on my horse for about 45 seconds last week, first time in about 6 months . Fortunately, he doesn't mind grazing and snoozing his life away, lol.
So I got my charms today! I LOVE them all! Are we posting pics of the ones we made and telling a little about them on another thread? thanks for hosting! i would consider hosting but have son's wedding in june and foot surgery right after that. maybe later in the year.
My package arrived today and my kids and I had a fun time taking a quick look through the charms before dance class .
We have a lot going on over the next month, but I would definitely participate in another swap. Wouldn't even mind hosting, but would need to wait until after June.
! I keep coming up with ideas and thinking: oh, I should buy some _____ to experiment with! 
I posted the ones I made on my blog.
