Remember 2 weeks ago when I said I had all this time to do all these things?
Well I didn’t do any of it! I didn’t even take a photo! lol
I’ll get myself together though. Super excited!!

I’ve been prepping my shop for a few weeks. It’ll be 99% art and card sets this year. I really wanted to do more figures and clay work…but the year got away from me. Still, I managed to stockpile quite a few items.
Also, this may be my only fall swap, so I’ll likely add items to the store as time allows.

I was able to get some things done and have my shop set up and ready in an email draft. However, the main item(s) that I’m most excited about and have spent weeks working on…well, I figured this last week would be all I’d need to get it finished. But nope. I didn’t get any work done on it this last week

I know that feeling well! My store is in a message draft as well so I can tweak it and add things in advance of the swap.

Yay! I haven’t been able to get online due to work being bonkers but I decided to randomly check today and STS is almost here! I’ll get some photos taken tonight of the items I have stocked up!

I’m excited! And I’m ready! I have 25 items ready to go but I need to find some Halloween stuff I made also. I have no idea where it went. 
And I forgot about half the stuff I made this past year. Lol. I just made it all then put it in a bag, unsure what I was going to do with it. I assumed give as gifts but that hasn’t happened. This is better.
Will a post be made in the “swaps" main board? And can we post our shops right away? I can’t remember how this all works.

Once you’ve sent in your questionnaire and it has been “approved” you can set up your shop. @irid3sc3nt will create another thread probably later today that is only our shops and it should show up on the active swap thread (not yet though).
Here is last years. The first post on that thread explains how to set up your shop and also how to claim items (you must message the seller and moderator with certain info and in a standardized way which is important for this swap.)
It sounds a little confusing, but starts to make sense after you do a couple.

I was going to have my river pebbles watercolor in STS but my husband saw me adding it to my STS box and pleaded to keep it. And thus my store is shrinking before I can even open it

I think it was mentioned in the swap rules, but as I was filling out my second spreadsheet I remembered to ask that y’all give concise titles for your items. I haven’t looked through the shops yet, this is just a general note.

My empty shop is closed, but posted! Hopefully I’ll be open for business within a few days!

I also plan to open my shop in a few days. I have items that just need a little finishing work and I want to get that done and posted before I open my shop.
I already have a mental list going of items I want. @gozer has some pieces I’ve been waiting for () and I know I’m gonna want everything in @Mountains_and_Clouds shop!

I opened my shop with some small paintings. I will add more tonight when I get home from work. I need to get batter pictures.
I also made my first claim from @AudiobookLover . Your little tree & book ornaments are so perfectly me! I love them. Had to have one.
