Touching Base

I'd like to remind everyone that the mailing date for your swap packages is September 15, which is just around the corner now! I'd also like to thank everyone--apparently everyone is keeping in touch with their partners on a regular basis, as I've not had any complaints from anyone! Just a suggestion--when you send your kit, pay a little extra for delivery confirmation! It's so worth it to know your kit has arrived safely!

Lots of great ideas are swirling around the Ravelry forum--I can't wait to see everyone's kits! There is a forum there to post pictures of your goodies--please take the time to post your pics and acknowledge your partner's hard work and generosity!

Thanks to our wonderful Coven leader, Lizabeth Cullen, for posting the Trivia Challenge--pskline was the winner and her prize is in the mail!

I'll also be starting another forum, asking if you want us to do a New Moon swap. Please take a minute to let us know if you're interested!

Trivia Time!!!

1. Name two experiences Edward wants Bella to have while still a human.

2. What day is Bella's Birthday?

3. What song do Bella and Edward share a love for? (They listen to it in his car together)

4. What was Edward dying of when Carlile saved him?

Twilight to be released early!

Hello Swappers!!

It appears that since the Harry Potter movie has been moved from December of 2008 to July of 2009, Summit entertainment has decided to release Twilight on November 21st!! I know you have probably all already seen this, but I wanted to spread the joy!! I also want to thank Hollye for getting the news to us on Ravelry! :)

We're Getting So Close

Tomorrow night. Midnight. Or Saturday morning when the local bookstore opens. Soon we're going to know how the story ends. Chapter discussions will begin on Sunday in the Ravelry forum. Are you ready?

Another Vendor Highlight

Sophie has some very unique book stitch markers. Visit her Etsy shop for pricing and ordering!

Swap Partners Sent Out!

I know many of you couldn't stand to wait any longer, so I sent out all swap partner emails this morning. We ended up with 60 participants in the swap! Each Coven member was partnered with a member of the Pack, with the exception of two young ladies, both Coven members, who will be swapping with each other. We were also left with two people on the Coven waiting list, but neither one was willing to go into the Pack, so they'll have to catch us next time around, if we end up doing a New Moon swap.

So, please check your emails, and let me know if you did not receive your partner's questionnaire. Also, please make contact with your partner asap and let me know if there are any conflicts (allergies, animal issues, etc.).

Also, today I gave your team leaders their passwords for the Lingr chat rooms. Please feel free to schedule team meetings at your convenience. A couple of times during the swap, I'll schedule meetings for all of us to meet together. I'll make sure to pick a couple of different times in the hopes that everyone will be able to participate in at least one.

Have fun with this ladies! Make sure to check back here often, as we'll have lots of stuff to post during the swap!

Fave Vendors

Every so often, before the swap officially starts, I will be showcasing a vendor who offers Twilight-themed merchandise. Please allow me to begin with our very own Josephine LeRouge, aka KnottieKnitter. Take a look at her most awesome stitch markers, and other assorted items, in her Etsy shop. Josephine, your stitch markers are TO DIE for!

I will also list the vendors in the right sidebar for future reference. Thanks to everyone who is out there making Twilight-themed stuff for us to swap and treasure!
