Okay, I would like to see some
Disneyland specific swaps:
50th anniversary-I saw the Happiest Celebration, but I was too late, AND, I have two problems with it... I won't be able to get to WDW during the celebration, so I'd like it to be Disneyland specific, and I wasn't sure about the organization of it...how I would have worked that one. I've already been in one 50th anniversary swap, would like to be in another, I have an idea for gold painted slide mounts (and trust me, they look GOOD), OR, gold shaker boxes. I ran out of blue metallic paper to do mine in, though if I could find more, I would most certainly do shaker boxes. I got some really perfect stickers at DL for such a swap. So I'd prefer an element type swap for the 50th anniversary... I MIGHT be persuaded into hostessing, if I could cross post it to two Yahoo groups, Tracy Henry's Nutz4DisneySwapping, and Sue Benner and Michelle Figueria's DisneyDemocracy (oops, I hope I didn't just violate some TOS I forgot about!) As I'm pregnant, and due in Sept, hostessing swaps has NOT been a good thing for me as of late, so I've been refraining from it. However, if I were to keep the swap small, that would be fine, say 10 participants... if I could even get that many to sign up! The swap I'm in only had 8 signups. It's not back yet, we're waiting on one person to finish up her library pockets and tags. so I don't know how it'll all work into my book. The other thing I could do is a small kit swap, where you'd pick a theme or character (like I'd just pick a 50th anniversary theme, but you could pick Mickey, or Minnie, or Goofy,or the current fireworks etc.) and then make a kit to put either general 50th pics or photos of that 50th character in their 50th anniversay dress... I would think either way would work well... but the kits, as always, should be more "usuable" since they'd be designed to work as a 1 or 2 page layout. I'd keep it to groups of 5 at most, I would think... maybe a total of 2 or 3 groups (assuming I even had that much interest!) Or, as a final thought, a Bazzill swap, so everything would coordinate, but it'd still work as an element swap. I hate working with Bazzill, and I know some people feel it fades, but it DOES look lovely, and it does make sure everything coordinates. I have to run it through my wishblade 4 times though to get a complete cut, and that is annoying.
I manage to get to Disneyland a few times every year, but I only get to WDW once every 2-4 years, so I would just LOVE to have a DL only swap, with rides and attractions specific to Disneyland, like the above mentioned Mr Toad's wild ride, or the DL Tiki Room, or Indiana Jones, etc... so it could be VERY specific instead of having to be generally for that ride... like it could be Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters instead of having to be JUST Buzz Lightyear.
And I'm always up for a character swap... always. Ride swaps, too. My favorites are kit swaps and element swaps.
Well, that's all I have for now... sorry for being gone so long (if you want to see some of my work, it's under Shabree on 2peas.)
