UK swap group - PIF

[Lise Bu]

UK POSTAL PIF

Hi there all my lovely Brits - I thought it was about time we did a bit of postal swapping amongst ourselves. I am lucky enough to have been to a few live swaps and really enjoyed them. Unfortunately not everyone is able to make it to live swaps. So I thought it would be good to have a UK PIF.

For this swap - the person above you will 'advertise' what they are willing to make - if you fancy this then write in the thread that you would like it - you must then offer something to the other UK members in return.

For example:

I am willing to offer:

* Hearts
* Elephants
* Vintage ladies

Someone will then take one of the above mentioned cards and offer 3 of their own creations.

Trades will be arranged between members. Once you have agreed to make a card for someone please try to ensure that cards are made and posted within 2 weeks.

Right I think that is it - i'll start off:

I am willing to offer:

* design of my choice
* Flowers
* Cats

[Wulfcwen]

Ok I will make you a cats card

Will someone please make me in any meduim:

A Fantasy card of your choice

A Fairy or fairies of your choice.

Oriental card of your choice.

[Lise Bu]

Wulfcwen - I think u might have got things a little mixed up - I am offering the cats card - which means I would be making it and sending it to you. You then offer something you are willing to make for someone else. x

[LilMissFirefly]

[lilbad]

Cows

[Bright-Spark]

If I haven't jumped the queue on AnitaM, I would like Wolfcwen's Art Nouveau tree card, I offer:

[crafter412]

[Lise Bu]

Anita - you can jump in when u like hun - this thread will keep running, so when you have got the time and see a card you would like that is being offered - just go for it xx

[Loralou]

I would like a castle gate view!
I offer
A boat card
An insect card
A card made with friendly plastic

[Lise Bu]

I had added a poll to this thread.

I have been thinking about whether we should make it so that once you have played there must be 5 trades from other members before you are able to play again. I do not want to place these restrictions on the game if people do not want it. So please vote yes or no as to whether we should do this or not.

I will be governed by the majority of votes - I don't mind which way it goes. The poll will end in 10 days time.

I hope this makes sense x

[Loralou]

I think that would cause the thread to die, there aren't enough UK members to keep it active enough for that rule. The more people play, the more it pops up in the new posts search, the more people will see it.

[Lise Bu]
