I sent out partners, and have a couple comments.
First, I paired up Tracey and Ms. Smart, before I saw they've traded recently. (doh!) If this is a problem, let's discuss it here and maybe another pair can switch with them.
Also, with tribe being all squirrelly, it might be a good idea to trade email addresses with your partner to continue conversations if tribe goes down.
Remember, with this trade, your mission is to be a Holiday Helper, so it's appropriate to communicate with your partner about what would make their holiday season happier!
The deadline for this trade is, of course, any time before or during the holiday season!
Happy Trading!

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 10:45 AMme too nubbee... yah.
hey I have been thinking christmas/ hannukah/ solstice/ winter. Is thanksgiving also included, or was that pretty much covered by the autumn trade?
Not to breed confusion I just want to be on the same page as everyone else. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 10:42 AMI think we've all traded recently, it's pretty much the same core group. I tried in the last trade not to stick people together that had traded recently and it was very very hard to do.

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 12:25 PMI am happy to trade with Tracey or anyone
You are all good tradees
:)
Here's to a good Holiday Helper trade!
What is all this about tribes going away? what's the scoop? -
-
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 12:51 PMThe scoop about that is just rumor. I'm just talking about if we're struck with a donut, we should have an alternate way to contact our partners besides snail mail!
Okay, question: I paired up 2 pairs who had traded with each other recently, Ms. Smart and Tracey and Mema and Lark. (BAD trade arranger! no biscuit!) Can we switch to Mema and Tracey and Ms. Smart and Lark? Let me know if this is a huge problem, or if all parties would rather stick with their originals. You can PM me if you prefer. Let's decide by tonight, so we can all start crafting! -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 1:55 PMI haven't started anything specific to Ms. Smart so if you'd like to switch the partners, just let me know. Either way works for me!

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 5:29 PMI haven't started anything yet either is fine with me whatever everyone else wants to do is OK with me. I really doesn't matter who my partner is just let me know if there is a change I will give it a few days before starting anything. -
-
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 5:33 PMMs S, Mema and Tracey have all agreed, and Lark PMed me, so the trade change is official! I'll resend info.
To clarify, it's now Mema and Tracey and Ms. Smart and Lark. Sorry for the confusion. Let the craftiness resume! -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 12, 2007 - 7:55 PMwell I've been jump started by all this chit chat about the trade today. Went out and got some odds n ends supplies (goodie goodie goodie!) and am setting up and playing with the stuff. -
-
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Sun, November 18, 2007 - 5:23 PMMine is done! Actually I screwed up the first one and made a second. So Tracey I am going to send both you will be able to make the messed up one work anyway. Bud couldn't see my mistake and to me it was so very obvious. Anyway if I get to town tomorrow I will package it up and get it in the mail to you. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, November 20, 2007 - 7:06 AMWow! Go, Mema! Not one, but TWO crafty trade items before some of us even have our ducks in a row. (Mine are milling about, but are not looking very much like a row at this point! At least they have an idea of what the row should look like!) -
-
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, November 20, 2007 - 9:23 AMmy ducks went out for coffee and that was like two days ago...I'm afraid the kind of trouble highly caffeinated ducks could cause... -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, November 20, 2007 - 9:28 AMI am done but didn't get anything in the mail as planned. Havent taken pictures as of yet. Now with Thanksgiving coming up I am extremely busy so will mail as soon as possible. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, November 20, 2007 - 6:10 PMGot the great idea - can see it in my minds eye - now to pin down the time to bring it into the real world.

Re: Holiday Helper Trade

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, November 21, 2007 - 6:13 PMOnly if the ducks know how to crochet and can follow a pattern. If so, I could use them. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, November 21, 2007 - 9:12 PMI just needed some caffeinated quakers - I have seen caffeinated gum, beverages, desserts, but no caffeine and salt.... -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, November 21, 2007 - 9:17 PMWell, I am Quaker, but it's 9:15pst and Im preggers so no caffeine for me.
Sorry :) -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Thu, November 22, 2007 - 2:15 PMOOPs - I should proof better - Quackers does not = Quaker. Although I have this odd mental image of hyperactive ducks and a jumpy nervous guy with a sick trying to get the ducks in a row......in a field littered with Starbucks cups. -
-
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Fri, November 23, 2007 - 12:46 AMI need some of those caffeinated quackers pronto. I am having such a bad fibromyalgia flare up, thanksgiving was a no-go. It may be slow goin's on my crafty projects for the holidays! But I be tryin, don't you doubt it! -
-
Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Sat, November 24, 2007 - 12:56 PMI just fired my ducks! They were all lined up, but went to the wrong place! Now I'm on plan B with no help from any poultry, caffeinated or no! Bad ducks!! -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Mon, November 26, 2007 - 9:45 AMWithout the help of caffinated ducks or Quakers, but with 4 days off work, I managed to get my creative juices to flow and actually started cutting yesterday. I am afraid I am rather obsessed, will see how it goes. -

I'm still clueless, sorry. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Fri, November 30, 2007 - 11:54 AMPin no worries...I'm still sort of clueless too...I am fine if this turns into a "hope you have a happy New Year" kind of trade...it gets done when it gets done and we all keep our sanity. -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Fri, November 30, 2007 - 8:51 AMThanks! Can't wait. I have the materials for yours and will be putting it all together this weekend. It's cold here at night and I don't have heat in my garage/work space so I've been seriously procrastinating. Oh and I have to clear a space to work too! Ha ha ha.
You'll have it before the holidays, I SWEAR. :) -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, December 4, 2007 - 1:45 PMI received my trade from Mema! Awesome. When they're lit, they look completely wonderful. Not just one, but two beautiful stained glass candle holders and recipes.
Thanks so much. Do you have pics to post or should I take a couple and post them?
Yours should be going out by the end of this week. I am sick right now, so small delay.
Thanks again! -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Sat, December 15, 2007 - 8:16 AMMine are ready to go out today! Funny, the first part was done in a flash, but it took FOREVER to get to finishing. Of course, I had people staying in my crafty room and my crafty bits boxes stashed away in the garage, but they're ready for shipping.
Mema, the candle holders are gorgeous!! -

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 6:26 PMhow's everybody doing?

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 12:07 AMI'm totally lagging. I have one part of Mema's goody completed (Anne can vouch for me, she actually saw it!), but I've been super busy at work (I was out of town all last week and Monday)
It will be in the mail after this weekend, I PROMISE.

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 10:19 AMwell I am officially on bedrest due to mild hypertension, so Fangs gift may be a wee late because who knows when baby J will be here now! i promise to make it extra fabulous, even more fabulous than i had originally planned.

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 2:47 PMI'm getting worried - I finsihed mine and mailed it over a week ago - I haven't heard from Ms. Smart to say she got it....I hope I didn't mail it to the wrong place......
Nubbee- you take it easy - baby J needs that last little bit to bake. I know you feel pretty good - but listen when they say bed rest - I know all about it. I got yelled at for breaking my water picking up a sock when I wasn't supposed to be doing laundry.

Re: Holiday Helper Trade
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 5:16 PMrest well! think of me later. I'll get a gift made by a pregnant lady and then a Mom, all in one!
