The view from the kitchen window.
The view on the table in front of me.To be completely honest I was expecting between 20 and 30 sign ups, so 108 is slightly overwhelming for a disorganised person like me.
I have written your names and details on little bits of paper and then made groups with the little bits of paper, kind of like a wedding table arrangement.
Bren said it is slower this way but I don't do spreadsheets and excel and stuff.
Thanks so much for all your comments and emails of support and encouragement. Thanks for the offers of help and presents too. Can anyone pick up my girls from school in an hour and make dinner for my family?
I am slowly getting there and should be finished emailing you your partner's details by tonight or tomorrow morning.
And then....let the swaps begin. XX
108 - PHEWEY!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should look at creating a general swap spreadsheet that anyone can use for future swaps!
108! Amazing! Looking forward to seeing it all happen :)
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHITE!!! 108!!! give yourself more time- what's the rush? I think if you give us our partner by the end of the week that will be totally fine!!!
ReplyDelete.... and I noticed I am not on the side bar??? did you loose me?? have a slid under the couch..... behind the door.....
ReplyDeleteWow so jealous of your kitchen window view - those little duckies are SOOOO cute! I have a thing for duckies at the moment :) Good luck with the swap - how awesome to have so many people interested, well done.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cath, take your time. We will wait patiently. No hurry here
ReplyDeletePS: I did post this comment already well thought I did so if I appear twice it's not because I have a personality disorder or short term memory loss
oh no, i'm too late :(
ReplyDeleteoh no, i'm too late :(
ReplyDelete108! You should have saked me for a hand...love excel!
ReplyDeleteWell done Kate on getting so many people for your pincushion swap. I am so excited to make mine and my swappee is a lovely person (from what I have read so far). Can we post them off as soon as we finish our pincushion or do we need to wait for a certain date to post them off at the same time. I think I may have found my pattern to make!
ReplyDeleteWOW, thats a great response. I didn't enter, happy with our little swap we did for now but if you get any swappers that drop out or don't send let me know and I'll do you an emergency pin cushion. xx
ReplyDeleteI got my email from you today and I knew that I was commenter 90 something for your swap. I was going to reply to you and say "Gee, you must be sending out about 100 emails today", and I was right! I decided not to bother you and let you get on with the job. Those ducks are surely a sign for you, its mother Kate out in front and us coming along behind with our pin cushions. Love it.
ReplyDeleteso, what shall i make for dinner?
ReplyDelete♥
Love your work!!
ReplyDeleteIm kinda glad I didnt enter now. I would have been number 109 as I saw it late monday morning.
ReplyDeleteI did want to though!
Wow! That is so impressive! What a huge swap. So excited. I have already started on mine! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll pull it all together in no time, wow HUGE task though! I'm sorry I missed the boat...
ReplyDeletelove your feathery friends - it's late in the season for little ones!

Wow 108! That is a fabulous amount of beautiful goodness going into the world. You are so fabulous for putting this all together and I only wish I was closer so that I could help out.

ReplyDeleteHoly shaMOLY! This is massive Kate. Thanks for co-ordinating, you're a star.
