As one who has had a hard time meeting the deadline on a recent swap, I have pulled out of another one as I knew I would not be able to make that deadline. The longer I can't sew, the further behind I am getting. I had already decided to refrain from swaps until I can get things caught up both sewing and everything else. Hopefully in two more weeks I will be able to begin.

Kim, I like your exercise plan and had been thinking about that very same idea. Just have to find a good pedometer! I am pulling for you to meet your goal.

As far as the picture part, I like to take a photo before I send out, just in case.

I would volunteer to resize and post photos for someone who struggles with that. A while back, Kim posted a couple of websites for optimizing and resizing photos which I have been using http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/ to do it since then.

When I can use both hands again ( to hold book and type at the same time), I am looking foward to playing with Photoshop Elements I got for Christmas and see what resizing I can do with that, if any.

I have joined the no-sew swap, and am curious if the hostess gets anything extra. Do we send a fat quarter or anything in exchange for her doing all the swapping?

i think it would be a very sweet & kind gesture to include a happy for the hostess when you send your strips . . .

perhaps hostess LindaO would like a tassel?? just a little food for thought . . . Big Grin Big Grin

It is definitely not necessary to send anything for the hostof a swap, though small surprises won't be turned DOWN! LOL!

dorian, debo posted a little tutorial on making your own tassel. i think she posted it in the no-sew strip swap thread. real easy - you can use embroidery floss and have your tassels color-coordinated! Big Grin
