Also any Fredericks of Hollywood or Victoria's Secret can be inspirational.

No need to send an envelope. I will provide them. Just include a self addressed label and a 58 cent stamp if you are in the U.S. I will cover postage for international participants.

Dear Princessgene:

You are evil. I told myself I'm done signing up for new swaps until I finish all the ones I've committed to. And then you have to go and host a swap that I cannot resist. *sigh* Sign me up.

Bwwaaahhhhaaa I've got Ninnerfish now! :cool:

Welcome aboard Ninnerfish, Anonevyl, Livia, and Amerasu. Hopefully I'll be able to ensnare more participants into my swap.

Rec'd Livia's beautiful pinups today! I like the one on the envelope too!

If anyone else is interested in joining this swap, there is still room!

<bump>

I want more people to play in this!!!

C'mon - where are the dudes!!!!

princessgene

09-28-2007, 03:27 AM

Yay Anne! Like she said, Where are the dudes!!!!

insufficiently

09-28-2007, 05:10 PM

Okay, I can see ideas for this one :D If there's still room I'd like in, please.

princessgene

Great! You're added!

Anonevyl

10-15-2007, 03:46 PM

Hey Gene - I went ahead and added this to the calendar - I thought there was something I was missing.

princessgene

10-16-2007, 01:11 AM

Thanks...I haven't had much time to think about this swap. Hopefully after I get moved and everything, I can start concentrating on swaps.

Anonevyl

10-16-2007, 02:32 AM

I would not complain if you wanted to move the due date up.

EraserQueen

10-16-2007, 03:36 AM

If you did, I would join :D

Amerasu

10-16-2007, 10:33 AM

Thanks...I haven't had much time to think about this swap. Hopefully after I get moved and everything, I can start concentrating on swaps.

Yep, feel free to move the date. I think just about everyone could do with more time, lol. Me too!

princessgene

10-17-2007, 05:33 AM

That sounds like a good idea. How about we change the due date to December 1st instead. Will that work? I'd change it in the title but I don't think I can do that.

Amerasu

10-17-2007, 10:54 AM

Sounds great to me! I'll change it in the thread title for you :)

Anonevyl

10-18-2007, 06:28 AM

I went ahead and changed the date on the calendar.

princessgene

11-01-2007, 03:26 PM

Due date was changed to December 1st. Just wondering if there are any more interested participants who would like to join.

How are the current participants doing? Anyone want to share their work?

princessgene

11-09-2007, 07:44 PM

There is still time to sign up for this swap. Any more interested participants?

princessgene

11-19-2007, 07:31 PM

Silverhermit....I received your cards today! They are absolutely fantastic, awesome, fantabulous!!!! I don't know if I can part with your cards. They are sooooo GOOD! I might scan them if I get time so I can show them off, unless of course you already have them in your gallery.

princessgene

11-19-2007, 07:31 PM

Due date is December 1st....how is everyone else coming along with their cards?

SilverHermit

11-20-2007, 03:01 AM

I did make scans - I just haven't had a chance to put them in my gallery yet. They will probably appear there over the next week or so. Thanks for letting me know they arrived.

Amerasu

11-20-2007, 12:29 PM

I'm starting mine tonight and will send them over before the week is out so they should make it for Dec. 1 :)

Amerasu

11-24-2007, 08:49 PM

Cards are done and on the way. I do have your address so ignore my PM :)

Ninnerfish

11-26-2007, 12:39 PM

I've been trying to come up with something for this swap, but I'm just not happy with anything I've made. I love pinup girls, but apparently, I'm not so great at drawing them. I'm going to have to drop out of this one. Sorry.:(

Anonevyl

11-26-2007, 04:59 PM

Mine will be going out today. I can't post anything because my work computer keeps crashing. Hopefully I will get this resolved by way of the Uber Nerd who is coming this afternoon to take a look at it.

Blah.

Anyway - sorry to hear you're dropping out Ninner - I am sure whatever you'd come up with would be awesome.

rubypaleface

11-26-2007, 11:51 PM

Okay, so I am a HUGE idiot! I just found my cards all ready to be mailed under a pile of bills! So I am putting them in the mail tonight. So sorry if they end up being late, my brain has been missing lately :)

insufficiently

11-27-2007, 12:47 PM

I am unfortunately in the same boat with Ninner -- I finally got some cards to the inking stage and I bloody hate them. I'd like to shamefacedly request to withdraw, since I don't want to supply sub-par work to anyone.

(And yes, this is the second swap I've had to withdraw from in the past two months. RL is kicking my ass lately, but that's no excuse for being irresponsible -- I apologize, and I'll be careful not to sign up for any swaps going forward unless I KNOW I can get the work done. The cat swap is safe.)

EraserQueen

11-27-2007, 01:37 PM

insufficiently and Ninner: Can I have the cards you hate??? :D

Ninnerfish

11-27-2007, 03:19 PM

I'm truly ashamed of them. They are currently sharing garbage can land with my old bananas.

princessgene

11-28-2007, 06:11 AM

I can certainly understand if ninnerfish and insufficiently want to withdraw. But I bet the cards are not as bad as they claim. I'm with EQ...I'll take the cards you hate!

By the way...just a reminder that I have moved to a new address. If you sent your cards to the address on Palm street...that is not the correct address and it will take forever for the cards to be routed back to me. If you need my new address, please pm me for the new one. Thanks.

Anonevyl

11-28-2007, 06:34 AM

You've updated your new address with PotBelly I presume, because I got it from her since I wanted to send my cards immediately. I don't remember there being a Palm in the address she gave me so I hope they will be arriving shortly.

princessgene

11-28-2007, 06:36 AM

I certainly hope so. I'm not sure if I gave her my new address or not. I don't remember. I better let her know.

Anonevyl

12-04-2007, 08:56 PM

Hey Joy - just wondering if my cards got there ok?

princessgene

12-05-2007, 05:09 AM

Yay! I have received everyone's cards today and yesterday. I have to say all the cards are absolutely outstanding! I don't know how I will ever decide which ones to swap! I'd like to keep them all! You guys don't really want your returns now do you?....;)

Just so you know that I haven't run off with your cards, I won't be able to swap them out for a few days. I'm desperately trying to finish my Christmas gifts for the exchange in between working. Besides, I need a few more days to admire everyone's work!

Anonevyl

12-05-2007, 05:44 AM

Glad they arrived and that you liked them. Yay us!!!

princessgene

12-17-2007, 04:36 PM

Here are the scans of all the phenomenol pinupgirls:

princessgene

12-17-2007, 04:40 PM

Well finally that time has come when I must pick and choose and say goodbye to those lovely pinup girls I admired. Everyone's work is soooo outstanding! So be looking for your girls the end of this week or next depending on where you live. Thanks to everyone for participating. I will be leaving feedback hopefully tonight.

Amerasu

12-17-2007, 05:28 PM

Great cards!

EraserQueen

12-17-2007, 05:40 PM

Wow! They all look awesome :D

Anonevyl

12-17-2007, 07:40 PM

OMG - I have to have the Suzi Homemaker pin-up with the spatula. Faboo!!!

princessgene

12-25-2007, 06:42 AM

Just thought I'd check and see if anyone received their pinup cards. I sent them quite a while ago. If I didn't give you feedback for this swap, please let me know. Sometimes I am a bit forgetful.

Anonevyl

12-28-2007, 05:27 PM

Got my returns!!! They are all awesome! Thanks to Maria Magenta for Pin Up #2 (fantastic!!!), Livia for PinUp #4 (love the shoes!) and Silver Hermit for Pin Up #1 (gorgeous). And of course a big thanks to Joy for graciously hosting this very cool swap!
