Added some little bird notecards to my shop.

Those are cute! If they are still available after GB mails my current pending claims, I’ll have to snag some! I love your cute birdies.

They are so cute!
I won’t be able to get to the post office until this weekend, otherwise I would claim a set right now!

Thanks, everyone! 
I can make more if the ones you wanted are gone, or I can do a custom set too.

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 don’t 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 don’t feel I have to hoard as much.)

It’s been a bit difficult to tell apart some of the messages. Would y’all please send separate messages for each of the claimed, sent, received? Please put CLAIM, SENT, or RECEIVED in the title as well. I don’t mind having lots of messages when it helps me keep the swap easily organized. Thank you and have a fun Sunday!

So it’s better to start a new message for each phase of the process?
(Rather than hitting reply)
I’m sure I’ve been part of the confusion…. Sorry!

Yes, a new message for each step is helpful. You can copy/paste from the running list.
It’s nice to be able to batch process all claims, etc, then I don’t have to keep switching brain gears

I like to copy the current message, hit reply, hit the plus sign that lets me “reply to group in new message” (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 didn’t print them out or there’s too much info to write down (right now I have only sticky notes at my “desk”). It would be nice to have folders within our messages, but it’s 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 y’alls lists under your shops, but claims can slip if they’re at the bottom of a message chain.
I’m happy with being this swap organizer. I’m mostly disappointed in myself for not making more stuff over the summer. I’m making more stuff as the swap goes on, plus for other swaps.

I wonder if there’s a way to do a google form or similar. It wouldn’t 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 haven’t used google forms before.
