Alrighty, here is the last list, that was put together by TJeffers and Lurch and I have gone ahead and added those who wanted to be added. In the mean time though, I suggest that everyone that still wishes to participate in the next Mini Swap give a shout out so that we can make certain that the interest (or even knowledge of the swap) is still there and so we can get this setup proper and make certain everyone has a go. If you talk to anyone on this regularly, maybe take a moment to holler at them and let them know that this is getting underway.
After reading through all the posts, the only individual that I found that didn\'t send out a miniature was \'Draconis\'. Anyone know anything else about this or is it just one of those things that \'slipped through\'. Was he sent a miniature in return or was he left out of the loop entirely through inactivity?
So far, these are the individuals who have painted and posted their miniatures. Frustrated Father, ipaintminis, Wiccanpony, Spacemunkie, Tidoco2222, James9847 and Fizl. That\'s seven completed and posted miniatures out of thirty seven participants. If there is anyone that I have missed, please holler.
So, to add a little bit more organization to this, lets go ahead and continue to agree that January the 15th will be the official \'end\' date of the Miniature Exchange #1. Everyone that can get a picture of a completed miniature up and out should go ahead and do so, but if you have to take a little bit of extra time, well so be it. Nothing is hardcoded on this.
Miniature Exchange #2 will officially begin on February 1st and will go on until March 15th. That being said, everyone that is interested in joining the second exchange should holler and be heard by ... say the 22nd of January. That will give us fourteen days from now, and seven days from the official end of the first miniature swap. On the 23rd of January, those participating will be randomly placed together to send out a miniature (only one is required but many people are sending more than one - your choice, don\'t feel obligated) and it will be up to you to PM that individual to get an address. Try and get the miniature out in a timely manner as everyone deserves as much time as possible but don\'t feel like you need to overnight the miniature in order for it to get there.
After the paring up, just send off the miniature and wait for one of your own to come to your door. Most people got theirs within the first week or so. Also, if you have any problems with shipping to other countries, go ahead and let us know ahead of time so that we can try to accomodate. Honestly though, I\'ve shipped quite a few things back and forth between Canada, France and England of late and it really isn\'t all that much more to send it. Besides, maybe you\'ll get a miniature thats a \'hard to get\' from where its getting sent from. Never know.
Overall, this is meant to be fun and I\'ve stepped up to organizing this a bit since TJeffers has been gone for a bit (though I see he just came back in the time that I\'ve been writing this - hola). The only reason we\'re even looking at a deadline is so that others can get in on the fun and so we can keep the action going, otherwise we\'ll end up pushing it back that \'one\' more time. Seriously though, if you participate, even if you are going through three swaps and you finally post the pictures of the ones you finally got around to from six months ago, that\'s all well and good. It\'s supposed to be fun.
So, if you see something that needs to be addressed, changed or added, holler long and loud. Also, remember to let the others know about it so that as many that want to join can. For those of you that still have a ?? by your name, fill us in if you would. Helps keep things organized.
