It must be because your "Faerie book swap" has caused the web site to crash, but I can't get on the page to sign up for your swap.
I'll try again in the a.m. I am so glad to be a part of an other one of your swaps. Thanks Judi

I love fairies..count me in. Do you want 8 double sided pages that are the same or all 8 different?

Karla Nathan


Since the pages go to different people, it doesnt matter. Do them any way you wish!

Susan G

I would really LOVE,Love, and love to join this swap. (Kim knows me)
But first I'd like to know what the $20.00 is for?

I do not think it will cost $20.00 to ship this, especially if we go with priority flat rate ($11.00) or BOOK RATE...which would be much cheaper. (as these will be books)

PLEASE reply and I can go from there.
Thanks so much,
Susan

Karla Nathan


Well, I have expenses involved besides postage. With about 100 books to make, I go through a lot of supplies. I use vintage wallpaper on the front and back covers, pay for color copies, plus printer ink for the labels. I buy rings to bind them, add ribbons, a charm, and embellish the books too. There are a few dollars left over, which could be considered profit, but if you consider the hours and hours I spend on the swap, it doesnt come near covering my time, so its not as much of a profit as it is an offset against my losses. Because when I work in these, it takes me away from my regular work.


But I do love swaps, and enjoy the process. Ive hosted many in the past and charged much less for participating, but was in the hole on them. If I want to host big swaps, I have to cover all of my expenses, plus at least some of my time. If I only had twenty or so swappers, it wouldnt be such a big deal, but with this many involved, it becomes a huge task.


No, its not $20 to ship the books. Overseas books can add up, approximately a dollar an ounce, but it is less for domestic shipping, of course. But I cant use book rate, these are not traditional books.


I am not trying to cheat anyone or take advantage of swappers, just trying to keep it fair for myself.

Misses Peach

Hello Karla...my faerie pages are alomost done and will be in the mail to you next week...just wanted to update you. I have so enjoyed making them...gathering the crepe paper edges was time consuming so it has taken me longer to finish them than I expected, but they will not arrive late!
Faerie hugs from the other, formerly from Kansas, Karla

Jackie

Karla, i just found you! WOW! i am going to try and put mine together in time for the swap...wish me luck!

Mike

My niece is going to be a fairy for Halloween. Is there a unique name for guys that are fairy's or can fairy's be both guys and girls?
