We're a small group, so instead of pairing everyone up we'll assign them randomly. (For instance, A gives to B, B gives to D, D gives to C, and C gives to A...) I'll PM everyone with the name of their partner. Once we close the sign up, I'm thinking three weeks to put it together and deliver or mail it. When you get your ball in, photograph it and post! If you want to report on the contents as you unwrap it, or even photograph the contents, that would be fun! Once you sign up, PM me with an address for shipping and the name to which it should be addressed. Then go to our newly-created "Swapper's Profile" forum and create a topic for yourself. I'll post mine so everyone has a model to follow. Put in whatever information you think the other person should know about you! Fave colors, other hobbies, single, married, kids, whatever! This is, of course, a learning process for us. If we seem to have totally missed the boat on something, let us know!

The Queen of Hearts Group: Admin Posts: 747 Member No.: 2 Joined: 10-February 07	Yeah, yeah...I'm a couple of days late... I've been sick. I'll call my mom tonight, and try and do the assignments tomorrow. (I didn't call her this weekend, so I don't know what she decided.)

The Queen of Hearts Group: Admin Posts: 747 Member No.: 2 Joined: 10-February 07	Partners assigned. (My mom can't do it this time.) See the second post... I juggled the list to separate Jenlar and Jasmine (mom and daughter) and Ishy and I, since I just gave her one... Any questions or problems? I will need shipping address for Kel and for the Jenlar household. PM me with the info. I can courier between the Atlanta peoples, but I will have to ship to Kel, and she'll have to send to Jasmine... Later today I'll post some magic yarn ball tips. Poor Ishy was my test subject, so her MYB wasn't as perfect as it should have been.

It was round, purple, and had stuff in it, so why was it not "perfect"?

The Queen of Hearts Group: Admin Posts: 747 Member No.: 2 Joined: 10-February 07	Well, the stuff isn't evenly distributed throughout the ball, actually...and too much of it wasn't securely wrapped! As evidenced by the fact that you were able to pick stuff out of it!

Sounds like a plan

The Queen of Hearts Group: Admin Posts: 747 Member No.: 2 Joined: 10-February 07	Okay, yarn finally arrived. MYB construction to commence shortly... I'm going to try shipping before I leave for our trip. Does everyone else think they can get theirs out by the end of next week? Oh, and in case anyone missed it, the list of partners is in the second post. Ishy
