I just got done with the DHS - I liked the Title with 2 elements
I also did the general of each section & did Street Signs for the titles (thought that fit DHS) that way each section has its own title for each section

I really like paper piecing elements so that is main thing - I love getting the other stuff so I can see what others use to help my books from looking alike and give alittle glitter

MK is going to be the biggie
we need each land, each ride, each character that usually shows up

I see alot of people doing the letters - those look really cute, I keep debating about them.

 

[rlovew]

I am not sure that I will do much of anything but I might do a group of some of the coming attractions- I think I have plenty of what has been there awhile.

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm swap free this year Susan...but if you need anything please let me know...

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

I need to fill in my stash,.

Cassey

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I still have so much stuff that I think I am going to be sitting out all the element and letter swaps this year.


That said, you know you can put me down as an angel. I work best with a shorter deadline.

 

[wdwmickey]

No swapping for me this year. My swap stash is so huge I don't have a place to put all of it and I have a ton of scrapping to do before Sarah graduates in May and then Rachel in May 2013. Oh my gosh where did the time go????

I'll be happy to angel.

Bummer! But, I totally understand. THanks for the angel offers.

 

[123SA]

I added groups. Please let me know if I have missed anything. I haven't been to WDW since Sept 2010, so I am not sure i have all of the changes right. I left out the characters because we have a character swap on the calendar.

I am thinking title plus 2 elements.

The Tiki Room is back to the original version after the renovations following the fire- no more Iago and Zazu. You may want to use the Stocks instead of the Christmas Shop in Liberty Square but other than that it looks good with what is currently in the parks. Dumbo moves later in the year and I don't know what is opening when in the new areas of Fantasyland.

[mommy2mrb]

I need to go through my stash also, but should be up for a group or two...definately Group K!!

 

[hffmnheidi]

I would be interested in single elements and mini kits because I need to fill up my stash again. As well as altered letters.

 

[cjsteiger]

I would love to participate in this swap. We are going to Disney in Feb. so I will need lots of stuff. I would prefer titles & icon or letters. Not sure what a mini kit is but if I saw an example I might be intrested. Yeah looking forward to swapping again.

 

[ckmom97]

I want to play! We never seem to hit all the attractions in each section except for Fantasyland, so I will probably stick to the 2 FL groups and the general Land group.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

I need to check and see what I have. I am good with either way. I prefer the single elements

 

[Arizona Rita]

Ive always wanted to try a single element swap. I may be in for this.

 

[Reddy]

thinking more on this one - I would say single or 2 elements for all but the last one - that needs to be Title & 1 element

 

[adtillma1]

I would definitately be interested in a couple of these groups. I like the idea of a title and one or two elements that coordinate.

 

[123SA]

Going through the list, it looks like 6 people expressed interest. I think I have 4 votes for single elements
4 votes for either title + 1 element, or any 2 elements.

(Some expressed interest in both kids of groups, so mores vote than people)

It doesn't look like we have enough interest to have both kinds of groups.

The lands group will definitely be title + one element of your choice.

Anyone else want to vote? I haven't included my vote in these tallies, so unless we have more input, I guess I'll be the tie breaker.

 

[ckmom97]

I have mixed feelings on this. For the most part, I prefer the title + groups because the items are coordinated. In this swap, I'd probably join more single element groups since we usually don't hit every attraction in each land. So either way works for me.
