Whatever it is that you're currently doing, take one, put it in a box and wait for your partner's address. Do the usual and PM me your info. Let's do a rather quick turnaround so no one stresses overmuch. I can be ready with mine in two weeks tops. If I give out addresses at the end of next week (that'd be March 29th-ish) Would everyone be ready?
Remember, you're not making anything FOR someone, so you don't need names in advance. If you're in, go ahead and PM me, but you don't even have to say here if you're in. That could be fun, not knowing who's in and who's not. I won't mention who's in. You don't even have to tell me until next week. One person and myself are already committed, so it's on. I won't even tell you if it's round robin or straight trade!
Ready? GO!!!

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade
Mon, March 17, 2008 - 4:53 PMI'm hoping people will have something if not done, then at least well on the way by the end of March. Remember, you are not making this FOR someone in particular and it should be something you're already working on. Just for the heck of it, send me a PM when you're ready to ship. I'll send out addresses next weekend (the 29th) I've got a running list of everyone, but may check in later to be sure I haven't somehow forgotten someone! -

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade
Sat, March 22, 2008 - 4:50 PMI'm extending the deadline for joining in, since we're all still getting stuff ready and don't need names until we're ready to ship. Let's say everyone get ready to ship by next weekend and I'll get names out next week sometime. -

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade
Sat, March 29, 2008 - 4:54 PMI've sent off your trade recipient in a pm. If you didn't get one, you didn't send me your information. If you did and I lost it, pm me and we'll work something out. I did a round robin based on the order people sent me thir information. Don't tell anyone who you're sending your stuff to. If you have any questions or need to contact your person, PM me. -

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade
Sat, April 5, 2008 - 4:50 PMWell, Patty completely blew my mind with what she sent me. I hardly have words for it. She must have put so much work into it. It puts what I'm sending to my trade partner to shame. Drat!
She sent me TWO quilted table pieces. One I may hang on the wall. Her Mom started that one long ago, and Patty finished it.
I am going to post pics to the album.
I can't thank you enough Patty! What an exciting package to open!

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade
Fri, April 11, 2008 - 3:54 PMHow's everyone doing? I got mine to Peggy. Part of it is what I had intended to give as a trade item and part of it is something I finished up for her that I've been working on FOREVER!!!
PM me if you're having troubles and I'll convey it to your recipient. -

Re: "That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade

Thank you Kathleen!!!
