Description:

YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SWAP SHEETS THIS WEEK. YOU WILL SEND TO YOUR ASSIGNED PARTNER FIRST THEN FOLLOW THE SHEET I WILL EMAIL TO YOU ALL :)

THIS SWAP IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE PM ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START A GROUP NUMBER 2!! :)

Create a doll body or use a pre-made one. The doll will be sent to each participant in a round robin and each person will add her magic to the doll. We will add a journal to document the journey. Size is up to each person but I don't think they should be too big. (or small) EDITED TO SAY: WE WILL ONLY HAVE 10 in the first group, if more would like to join we will start a second group.

When the partners are assigned we send our own doll to our partner first, the hostess keeps a list and when the first partner is finished adding to the doll she PMs the hostess who will then tell her who to send to next (our addresses will be sent to the hostess when then swap starts), you can include a small journal if you would like folks to write about her journey. I think your doll should at least start with a face. What do you think? Any suggestions? Since our group isn't huge (yet :}) it shouldn't be too complicated.

Ok, any ideas that we need to add or ask just give a yell :)

dreamerkins 02/14/2008 #

is there a limit to how many can join?

ColourfulDaze 02/15/2008 #

Do you mean how many dolls you can send round?

ColourfulDaze 02/19/2008 #

Oh duh, took me a few days to read that properly dreamerkins...I would say maybe up to ten? How would that be?

ColourfulDaze 02/19/2008 #

Edited to say 10. This way it wont get out of control and we could have a second group if everyone wants to.

Chanel 02/19/2008 #

Okay I want to be sure I get this right:

We will create the body of the doll and add the face, then send it to the next person correct? Does the body have to be sewn and stuffed or will someone else down the line do that?

ColourfulDaze 02/19/2008 #

The body has to be sewn, stuffed and have a face on her/him. You can add anything else you want to but I think he/she at least needs a face to start his/her journey :)

ColourfulDaze 02/20/2008 #

Yippee, nine of us!!!

my thoughts about how long each person should have the doll was the same as yours ...one week. I have a question about additions to the doll. Do you have suggestions such as should the first person decide a theme for the doll, made a dress,etc ? Or should we just do whatever suits our fancy?

ColourfulDaze 02/20/2008 #

I have thought about this as well, lets have a vote...the choices are (unless you have another idea) 1. Whatever suits your fancy OR 2. A theme, but you have to have some kind of guidelines or story sent with your doll OR 3. You can do either/or, just send a note round with your baby stating which you prefer

ColourfulDaze 02/20/2008 #

EDITED to say this in better form, I hope.

I have thought about this as well, lets have a vote...the choices are (unless you have another idea)

Can anyone say this better? :)

ColourfulDaze 02/20/2008 #

Crud, that should be 1,

2.

1.

befana 02/20/2008 #

how about we all just choose one style such as funny, pretty , glamrous. goddess, country , folk ( you get the idea) or even surprise me. whatta you think???

Denise 02/20/2008 #

I prefer to have mine turn out to be whatever she is by the time she comes home.

ColourfulDaze 02/20/2008 #

Ok, then how about a note included that says what you would like, even if it is a few choices and if you do put a few choices the first to get the doll makes the choice?

befana 02/21/2008 #

good idea !!

alleycat 02/21/2008 #

I vote for a week.....and I want my doll to come back as a surprize....so what ever anyone adds should just be what they are inspired to add, be it a little or alot. I will probably create some sort of "story" for her in the journal that I send along with her. My Question is how do we rate each other for this swap? Not that I need the ratings or anything, I was just wondering how that would work!

ColourfulDaze 02/21/2008 #

Another good question alleycat...any ideas?

ColourfulDaze 02/21/2008 #

About ratings: Maybe when you receive each doll you could set up a private swap to keep track and when you get your doll back use the ratings?

ColourfulDaze 02/25/2008 #

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PERSONAL EMAILS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THIS SWAP IS GOING TO WORK. IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE IT PLEASE PM ME BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR DOLLS OUT.

ColourfulDaze 02/26/2008 #

The completed Swap Chart is now on it's way to each of your emails, please let me know if you do not get it! Let the swaps begin :)

ColourfulDaze 02/26/2008 #

Apparently the attachment it too large for a lot of emails, so...go to this link and PM me for the password so you can see the chart. If you DID get the emailed chart please let me know. Thanks everyone for your patience!!

ColourfulDaze 02/26/2008 #

Duh...here is the link.. http://tangledtoast.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/10/

ColourfulDaze 02/28/2008 #

Ok, P1 is your assigned partner, you send your doll to her when she gets it she lets you know and then sends YOUR doll on to the number 2 person. Example.Me, my partner (P1) is jstubbs, I send her my doll, then she sends MY doll to the 2 person who is Chanel, the Chanel sends MY doll to the 3 person who is Denise....does that make more sense? Please send some sort of tag or have it in your journal which alphabet letter you are, ex. me, I am J

ColourfulDaze 02/29/2008 #

My art doll is on her way to her first destination.

BastCrystal 03/ 2/2008 #

Hi there!

I'd like my doll to have a pagan/Goddess theme. I'm including a journal with a little story. You can surprise me with her embellishments. :-)

This should be fun!

ColourfulDaze 03/ 5/2008 #

The chart has been revised, Joanna saw an error in it and fixed it for us so I will email it out again...sorry about that :)

ColourfulDaze 03/ 5/2008 #

The chart at the top of this swap is the correct chart now, I know it is small but hopefully you can see the numbers well enough to change your charts. The names stay the same.

jstubbs 03/ 5/2008 #

Because Bugtussle sent me her doll so fast, I gave her a new hair style and sent her on her way. I am ready for the next doll, send her on. I'm love'n this!

ColourfulDaze 03/ 7/2008 #

It's wonderful Joanna!! :)

ColourfulDaze 03/27/2008 #

Oh yes by the way, go ahead and rate your partner when you receive her doll in the start of the RR okay...I forgot to mention that...:P
