Added some little bird notecards to my shop.
Those are cute! If they are still available after GB mails my current pending claims, Iāll have to snag some! I love your cute birdies.
They are so cute!
I wonāt be able to get to the post office until this weekend, otherwise I would claim a set right now!
Haha! I had points available and snagged some (I thinkā¦)
To send to me??
Thanks, everyone!
I can make more if the ones you wanted are gone, or I can do a custom set too.
Have fun this weekend! I had the most STS messages todayā¦ 18!
I sent 1/3 of those! Haha.
Sent all my claims and then spent all my points.
adorable!!
and @Lynx , you are really good at keeping our little STS economy going! It is tempting for me to hoard points, but I need to remember that if we all spread the points around, it is more fun for everybody! And it all works out at the end
Many years I donāt seem to make many sales (or it feels that way), but this year I have, so I am having a ton of fun spending. (And donāt feel I have to hoard as much.)
Itās been a bit difficult to tell apart some of the messages. Would yāall please send separate messages for each of the claimed, sent, received? Please put CLAIM, SENT, or RECEIVED in the title as well. I donāt mind having lots of messages when it helps me keep the swap easily organized. Thank you and have a fun Sunday!
Will do!
So itās better to start a new message for each phase of the process?
(Rather than hitting reply)
Iām sure Iāve been part of the confusionā¦. Sorry!
Yes, a new message for each step is helpful. You can copy/paste from the running list.
Itās nice to be able to batch process all claims, etc, then I donāt have to keep switching brain gears
I like to copy the current message, hit reply, hit the plus sign that lets me āreply to group in new messageā (or something like that), then change the pm title.
@irid3sc3nt I save all my Ornament Swap (which has a lot of messages like this one) into a tab on my computer browser bar. I have a folder for each participant and when they send mesages, I bookmark them into that folder. I can edit the bookmark title (message title) when I do that or even after the fact. For example, the bookmark title may say: lynx to abc for xyz SENT. This makes it so easy for me to go back and search for certain messages if I need to.
Thanks for explaining how you copy a message and change subject line.
I get confused when it gives me options on how to do the message!
Also @irid3sc3nt
For your patience & explanation
That was the bit I had completely failed to figure out how to do, thanks!
I have done some bookmarking like that for my partner Qs if I didnāt print them out or thereās too much info to write down (right now I have only sticky notes at my ādeskā). It would be nice to have folders within our messages, but itās probably annoying to create that system on this site or sweets would have done it by now, I think.
I usually have something recorded on one of the spreadsheets or on the swap list and I occasionally check yāalls lists under your shops, but claims can slip if theyāre at the bottom of a message chain.
Iām happy with being this swap organizer. Iām mostly disappointed in myself for not making more stuff over the summer. Iām making more stuff as the swap goes on, plus for other swaps.
I wonder if thereās a way to do a google form or similar. It wouldnāt be part of the site so it might not be a great idea. It might also be hard if not everyone was using it. But google forms respondes go directly into a google sheet which could make it really easy to track everything.
Hmmm. I havenāt used google forms before.
