The Kids Card Swap with Sairabee was flawless. First of all, the cards were all top quality. Sara did an excellent job of keeping everyone informed and returning our swaps on time.
I want to express appreciation to LaLatty. I recently participated in my first swap and she was the hostess. She has graciously answered all of my many questions and made me feel welcome. She's been absolutely super!!! I have enjoyed her swap so much I've signed up for others. I hope I'll be on here again very soon singing the praises of even more hostesses!!!
I want to squeal and holler for a fantastic hostess - Kmensley!!! She hosted the Ode to Summer swap that I've participated in and she's been super!!! She's quickly responded to my posts, even when I wasn't asking, and she's been a real encouragement to me as a fairly new swapper. I hope to participate in another of her swaps soon. Thanks Kadie!!!
I'd love to give a shout out to Kadie = Kmensley! Her Ode To Summer swap was super fun, she worked HARD and pulled it all together while juggling other hats to wear, made the swap one to remember! What a great group of gals, the cards were DIVINE (lots to case, lol!) and I can't say enough GOOD THINGS - sniff, sniff! It was my first swap and I was on pins and needles and terrified of all the things I was doing wrong <smile!> but she was so refreshing & kind & sweet! I can't wait to swap with her again and just have to say what a wonderful blessing to the SCS she is! Big hugs to you, Kadie!!
XOXOXOXOXO
I've just been part of a very large Swap and the hostess - chris1josh1 - has done an outstanding job. She's been so gracious with the swappers and has kept us well-informed. It's been great fun! (And in addition to all that - I got some pretty incredible cards.) Thanks Heather!!!
Kudos for Kadie: kmensley! I just sent in my first cards to my first card swap, Summer Soiree. I am so excited and Kadie has been so kind and helpful. Actually, it was her helpfulness on another forum that led me to her forum on the card swap and helped me decide to try it.
I would like to thank paper 73 for the mother goose swap. Lots of fun and she did a great job of keeping all informed with her little goosey updates!! Thanks Barb!
I just received my first swap from a wonderful and encouraging hostess, Jessica, jaltman1978. She was so sweet and helpful and I especially want to say thank you for taking a chance on a newbie and letting me join your swap. It was a great experience and I can see how it can be addicting.

I want to shout out for momof2girls for the great swap she hosted. Forums at Splitcoaststampers This was a very large image swap and I know she had dozens and dozens of images to swap for us.
I have learned that she has been slammed with a lot of things going on in her personal life that has really made it difficult to get this done. She has hung in there and made sure that every swapper is happy and despite all of the things she is dealing with, she is getting this swap finished. Sometimes life gets in the way for all of us and I think we can all relate.
Allison (aka momof2girls), thanks for a great swap!
LaLatty has been an amazing swap hostess. She is always quick with responses and answered my many questions as hers was the first swap I ever did. I have done two swaps with her and both have been fun and well organized. She also has posted photos of all the cards and recipes she receives in the swap making it easy to thank others who participated and just fun to see what everyone else did.
Thanks, Patty!

xoxoxoxo
Blessings!
Oh my goodness...I just made my way over here to this thread and *sniff sniffle** you girls have blessed my heart so much! Thanks for the recognition, it does mean a lot to me, but really the swaps I've hosted would be nothing without YOU!!
Thanks to all you FANTASTIC Swappers!! It has been a BLAST to swap with you, gain insight into new techniques, see your creative minds at work and to simply chat and enjoy your friendships. Thanks, Dearies!! You're the best!!
I would th thank PANDESSA for all the hard work she did to host the Glitter Card Candy swap!
She did an awesome job and swapped them out right away and got them back to us!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I find a new place on here every time I log on. And this is one place I am glad I found. I want to thank Rose for the swap we just completed and received back, it was the 4 x 6 recipe card dividers. It was a great experience. I will be doing more. Rose made it so easy and she had our cards back to us very quickly. Thanks Rose.

Wanted to commend Ticketbelle (Michelle) for doing such a fabulous job with hostessing the Any Critter Goes Image Swap. This was a first hostessing swap for Michelle and she did a superlative job and it was so easy and a lot of fun. Yay, Michelle, I'll be more than happy to be in one of your swaps again!
I feel bad I cannot remember who the hostess was...but I was in the Halloween swap & just wanted to say WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!! This was my 1st swap & I had so much fun. This is addicting! My hostess got the cards back very quickly & I am just so impressed with everyone's talent. Every single card I got just was awesome!! I hope mine were ok. You guys rock! Thanks so very much, Dawn
swap managers marcia4Christ, pmr, and sunshine have been making super intros for newbies by communicating often, inviting questions, reliably checking in often and answering with terminology acceptable to newbies!! Yeah! Each gal has creatively added to the return mix and contributed well beyond time and energy. That's why an inquiry after marcia4christ. . . she had to move over 1200 miles following her last swap. Everything okay out there in box village, Marcia? mtstamper23
I would like to give a big shout out to Tiffany Murphy, a SU! Demonstrator in Idaho! She always has the best workshops (not that I have been to any others...) but none the less she is amazing! Way to go Tiff! Keep up the creative-ness!!! :mrgreen:
[QUOTE=khall;4671467]I love a hostess who:
keeps swaps bumped and current
tries to get swappers and fill swaps
updates original posts

who particpates in swaps
I simply have to say a big thanks to Dena, Bean 88, who embodies everything that is listed above. It's always a pleasure to participate in one of her swaps.
She's enthusiastic, encouraging, and has hosted some of the very biggest "little " swaps around. Mmmmwah to our inchie queen!

Ditto on bean88 as a hostess. She has wrangled some really huge swaps and some crabby people with grace and strength. Always on time-always encouraging. Lurve U beanie!
For sure, Dena, Bean88, is an awesome hostess---she deserves kudos for her skills at managing some Mega-swaps here on SCS. I love participating in her swaps as they are always so imaginative, the posts on her threads are all so fun to read---she keeps the threads alive with frequent posts and encouragement. She's a hostess extraordinaire.
Would like to recognize the two latest swaps I have participated in:: Ohio Mary and arkansawjamie both were above and beyond in fulfilling their duties and keeping everything moving. so far I haven't been disappointed in any of the swaps I have participated in but those were the last two and since they both had snowmen (my favorite kind) they really stuck out.

I want to comment Ticketbelle (aka Michelle) for hosting an outstanding "Request your return image" swap. I received all the images requested and they were perfect! Great job, Michelle!
I would just like to brag on a great hostess. Her name is Kel (KAcopan). She hosted a swap for stocking/gifts. It was awesome. She was so organized and helpful.
