Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

Here are some ideas:

January- Winter Comfort Foods
Febuary- Valentine/Romantic Main Dishes
March- Easter/Passover
April- Spring Cooking
May- Mother's Day Desserts
June- Summer BBQ
July- Summer Desserts
Aug- Summer Fruits
Sept- Girl's Over for Lunch/Back to School
October- Hallowween Goodies
November- Thanksgiving Delights
December- Holiday Favorites

I would love to do this...but when would they be due and how many do we have to make?
I am already doing the holiday card swap- although I like this idea better since I love recipes.

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

we could pick a day of the month...lets just say the 20th to be due (for the next month?)

let me see if I can set up a webpage to set up a voting system...

i think starting with dec would be easiest...considering most of us are in the card swap

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

I set up a little website with polls...let me know what you think...

LIW Recipe Swap

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

very nice Erica...

Now, my question is do I have to EVERY month? There is no way I can promise to do January since I will have had the baby in late Nov/early Dec. But I could get working on Dec early. Also, would Dec's cards be for the month of Dec theme or the January theme? And how many are we making?

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

Looks good Erica! Thanks!!

Michele- you don't have to commit to each month, just what you are comfortable with.

According to the site, cards due in Novemeber will be December recipes. Cards due in December will be for January recipes, and so on.

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

we could work it out that who ever wants to join can do so but on a monthly basis. so that would mean that if 5 people join, each person would have to do 5 pages. If 15 people join, then its 15.

does that make sense?

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

I just threw in dates...so if they are not good please let me know!!!

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

also...I did all that for the polls...lol...but I thought it would be a good place to keep things together...

are there too many pop-ups? I will change it if there are

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

That site was a GREAT idea!!!

Thanks for making this so easy!!

michele31 Posted: Sep 12, 2003 02:50 PM

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

I know I could 5 cards in November, but 15 I am not sure. I have the baby coming later that month, plus I have to do 15 Holiday Cards for the holiday card swap. I guess I will see how sign-ups are going?

yabbobay Posted: Sep 12, 2003 02:54 PM

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

well right now there are 9 of us...(if you include yourself Michele) If we get more we can do a big and small group

FYI**

I will move the site tonight...to DH's server...this way there will be no popups.. =)

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

I can't believe I missed this thread!!!
I haven't been on much in the last few days...I would love to do this but I don't think I can do 16 holiday cards & this
great job on the site Erica-you're so organized! I can't wait to join one of your swaps!

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

If it is under 10 I am in Erica. I just don't want to bit off more than I can chew with the baby coming. I will probably send them off a bit early if that is okay.

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

Can you post some other card making sites too? I was searching but it is hard to find.

Re: scrapbook/card making recipe swap?

Here's a few:

Scrap Jazz Gallery

Lifetime Moments

Scrapbook.com

HTH

ETS: You can also do a search in these galleries for Holiday cards to get ideas as well. These links are to the recipe pages.
