YES - EVERYONE TRY TO POST A PIC!  That is part of the charm of the swaps for me - to be able to see what everyone gets! 

I posted mine to Karen last week - so should arrive near the end of this week altho sometimes they impress me with how fast stuff goes between us!

Had lots of fun making it - and I want to show some of the young kids around here how to do one because I think they would really like it!

Now I decided to look for some on the internet when I was trying to make mine - for ideas - and I found another type of button fairy called ” POCKET BUTTON FAIRY ” 

Maybe we can try one of those down the road?

Here - have a look from ‘Spirit’s Journey Designs ‘:... she makes fairies with button skirts and puts them into separate pockets which has a window, and the window has been made to resemble a jar so when the button fairy is in her pocket, the jar appears ‘full of buttons’!  Very pretty.

I not got mine yet Bev, don’t think Jane been around much .
Think there was a pic of the one i made not seen any more

Well I am sure everyone is going to start posting their pictures soon - as the post man starts to deliver our ‘fairies’!

I also - and I am not a big fairy fanatic - but I am considering putting the cutest fairy door beside the front door and maybe one inside the hallway!  They are the cutest things these fairy doors!  Then I can pretend to the children who come over, that I am leaving little things by the fairy door for them to have….should be fun!

What has happened to this swap doesn’t seem to be
much fairies on the go, would be lovely if everyone
would take a pic and get their fairies off to members.
it closed June 16th

Maybe without a deadline about when to ‘send them “by”’ it gets loosely defined? And Time has a way of sweeping by us!

... but I can understand where it gets annoying at times…in the 3 of the ones I have been in, at any rate, I have no idea where some or all of my work has ended up. To this day, I hve no idea where my butterfly ATCs are, and even my last one, I know of where only 1 of the 2 Black & Whites made it to. Its odd.

So, maybe there should be a post about swap ettiquette?

I received mine ages ago and posted a pic on the appreciation site, I also sent mine and got a thank you for it.

Mine will be going out in the post tomorrow!  I’ve really struggled this time I’ve made about 3 because I’ve not been happy with them!!

I could be wrong,but I hought you also had experienced some troubles with swaps getting lost, and you’d had bad luck twice - can’t recall whether it was the 6x6 or ATCs? Or am I crazy? 

Bev, half of mine are lost too you not the only one

yes Shelley that is the proper way to do it,well done hun

Oh, I know I’m not the only one - I have seen some sites where they have ‘ratings’ for their members - and you need a minimum rating to be able to take part in swaps, etc. I guess they must of had people not living up to their commitments or something…..anyways, I don’t want to get too far off the topic….cause this is the ‘fairy’ topic…..

Anyone see my idea above about the pocket button fairy? 

I would organize it but we all know that’s futile being where I am! [I want to be a Hostess, darn!]  Just thought it would be a nice addition to the collection!

Yes I saw it Bev it looks lovely hun.
Don’t think I will be doing any more fairy swaps,
I would rather keep up with ATC’s i enjoy them more.
You could always do some sort of swap put a poll up
to see if there is any interest, the ATC’s are all taken up
for this year though. xx

In-ter-es-ting dahlinks! Ha ha ......I might actually be the opposite as of late, as I find the button fairy different for now and I am trying to cut back with my swaps in general….I have spent waaaaay too much on postage lately…

But for the button fairies, I could be persuaded to do more!

yes Freehartz I didn’t receive my first one but I did receive this one!!!!.  I also got one ATC mangled and one missing

I received my buttonfairy today and she’s lovely. Thanks Heather,Will post picture soon as i find the camera!
