So girls, we have 27 swappers in all! 27 very talented , creative and beautiful woman! yup thats us! talented! creative! and beautious!! The rules are... you have made a committment.. please do not let your partners down. put your heart into creating something especially sweet for your wonderful partner! if for some reason you suddenly find that you cant honor your committment contact me immediately so I can make sure your partner does not end up disappointed. I wouldnt make such a big deal about this except that I hosted a swap recently where a few people did not follow through! this has caused me to look over our list of girls very carefully! But I must say that I trust all of you!!♥♥
We have until Feb 29th to complete and mail our dolls. I would love it for everyone to take a picture of themselves with the doll they make and then again with the doll they recieve! ( this is my swap right? I can make up any rules I want! hahahaha !) ok.. You dont really have to do that, but dont you think it would be nice? Like awesomely nice and it would make me happy.. (not that you care how happy I am.. but I do!!!)
Your doll can be made from any medium and should be between 9 and 15 inches.. (I think thats what I said before!)
(I'm thinking my next swap will be for miniatures under 6 inches.. stay tuned girlfriends! I can hardly contain myself now that I've thought it!!!! I have a serious obsession with tiny things! Oh dear I have gone off on a tangent!)
Remember my dears, its a beat the winter blues swap.. think cheerful ! sunshiney ! sweet! hmmm.. am I leaving anything out?
I hope everyone is happy with their partners! I am thrilled with mine! Everyone should be happy! I really think we have a very creative group.
Oh I just love you all!! ♥♥
(my Im just full of sap tonight arent I?)
have a lovely! leave me lots of messages! (at least let my know you got the email with your partners info!!)

Viv-
Thanks again for setting this up. Yes, my partner and I have communicated and wouldn't you know..just a few days ago I was looking at her picturetrail albums and admiring her amazing dolls! Intimidated? Maybe. Intrigued? Certainly. Inspired? You bet!
Gotta get to work!

thanks for organizing this Viv - you sound like you are on top of swapping (and i know what a pain they are!)i hope no one disappoints. love the idea of the miniatures too - i like mini anything! great idea with the pictures.
Viv,
I too am thrilled with my swap partner. This is going to be very exciting for me. Now I haven't even gotten started and you already are talking about miniatures. oyyyyyyyy. That is one of my addictions. Been collecting and making miniature teddy bears and dolls and doll houses for 25 years. Now I can't wait for that swap either.

Hi Vivian!
Hope your hubby is getting well on his way to better health. Thought I would visit you, hope I make sense as it is way too late to be here but wanted to say HI! Glad your dolly swap is taking place, thought about it but too overloaded and have not attempted much sewing in years, some day soon though! (oh, there's always clay too!!) Also like your Valentine Tree, lovely!
It is really sad that some partners for your swap before did not follow through and could certainly see why you are being more thorough and cautious!!! a darn shame, you should get an extra treat, as you not only hosted the swap but there you was...making little gifties for the poor gals that did without because of some unwise (ugh!!!) craft partners!
bless yer heart!
hugs
Carol
I can't wait to see the creations!
Hi Viv,
Val here! I love the basket full of hearts that you sent. I took the basket apart and then put it back together again (for pictures). Then I took it apart to admire and touch everything again. My husband thinks I'm goofy. I'm like you though. Y'know how you keep admiring you Valentine's Tree?
Making dollies is way out of my league but I am really looking forward to following and admiring all the dolls from afar!
Hi Viv,
Sorry for not checking in, not used to visiting blogs yet.
My partner is just a sweetheart and I am having lots of fun deciding what kind of doll she would like the most!
Thank you Viv for all of your efforts with this swap. I am sure it has taken a lot of work on your part and I know we are all just so appreciative.
Sheila
Love my partner. We have been in contact with each other. I've started 3 dolls and didn't like them LOL. Love the 6 inch doll swap idea.
Carla
