Honestly, how it’s counted confused me. But it looks like what I think is right? I appreciate your efforts!

I’d never done a STS before, so I can check it off my list! Thanks for hosting, @loves2experiment!

Haha…it can get messy pretty quickly :slight_smile:

Here’s a way to do a final count:

  • add up all the points for claims you have received (we’ll call this number x)
  • add the starting 3 loaner points to x (so we have x + 3)
  • add up all the points for claims you have made (we’ll call this number y)
  • subtract y from (x + 3)
  • if your final number is 3 points, you’re good to go. anything less than 3 points, you can expect more claims to even things out. anything more than 3 points, you need to go shopping.

okay, i need more caffeine…

scratch that…i’m overthinking things :frowning:

To get final count of points:

(3 + sum of points for claims you have received) - (sum of points for claims you have made) = final count of points

and yada, yada, yada about what to do if you have 3 points or more/less than 3 points.

We are done with claims for the swap…and there are no over/under claims to be made because every swapper is back at 3 points!!! Now we wait for the last batch of swap packages to arrive at their new homes.

Thanks for making this such an awesome round.
You guys rock! :slight_smile:

Yes, thank you. I am already looking forward to the fall swap. I need to remind myself to craft with this in mind so I have little extras made all year to add.

This is definitely one of my favourite swaps :smiley:
I participated in the very first round many, many moons ago and don’t think I’ve ever missed a round.
I love my STS peeps…they are what makes this swap a fun one to do…so thank you! I hope this has been an enjoyable swap for the newbies and returning STSers!

I hope you will be back in the future with another (or multiples) of the lovely bag you offered that I missed!
I am always on the hunt for more project bags & that was so pretty!
