I've illustrated my list with some elegant vintage ladies, found here. Feel free to imagine that they represent our beautiful swappers! The beauties are to distract us from the fact that there is some boring admin to do now...j
Please read through the list and see if I need any more information from you, or if I've got your details right. For some people I'd like to know a bit more about what language of magazine you'd like to recieve. For others, I'd like to have your postal and email addresses so that I can pass these on to your swap partners.

Well, swappers - as you can see I need some individual details from you, and I also need to know what you all think about the North/South divide - can we manage to send ones from the correct seasons to the people in the opposite hemisphere? Also, does anyone want Liz's needlework magazine? Please let me know your details and your thoughts, and then I'll get you all paired up!

Wow Floss! Thank you for all your efforts, this swap seemed to be so easy at first, but I see it's causing you a bad headache, eh?
I think you have all my details then...I wouldn't mind to read about a different season, it's lovely to know what happens on the other side of the world (..that's why I follow Mrs Red Gingham ;-)
If Lizzie is happy to receive an Italian magazine(please specify what she'd like to receive), my crafty aunt would be very pleased to be given an English needlework magazine!
Thank you!
My goodness, Floss, you have worked hard on this. I am sure everybody will really appreciate it though, it was a wonderful idea.
Love the vintage ladies, aren't they all so very pretty? I really adore these old postcards/photos,they are so charming.
I'll get in touch with Michela re the mag, if thats ok with you? Hug to Michela, lol, she is always up for anything, isn't she?
Hi Floss, I will be sending out a German magazine. And would accept one in any language.
I also really wouldn't mind a needlework magazine. I am open to new ventures.
As for the the North-South divide, hopefully our dear blog friends like to live vicariously as much as I do :) Winter / Summer will come round soon!
I'm happy to receive anything in return as well :-)
Thanks for all your hard work Floss!
Hi Floss - have emailed you :)
Thankyou for all your hard work :)
Ohooo Floss you have been busy and what beautiful images, thank you for sharing :) No preference at all as to what season comes my way, a french one sounds nice :) I shall probably be sending an old back copy of Country Living from a few years ago, I have a couple of very pretty ones in mind, so if someone wants something very up to date, maybe I am not the best choice. A little pink would be nice but not essential
Love and hugs

Dear Floss, what a wonderful collection of vintage beauties you have here. I am so sorry I was not able to join the swap. The only mags I could find were old fly fishing ones (very curious) my own sewing mags need to live with me and my only other is the one you sent me! We did a bit of a purge before winter set in. Sending it all to charity shops. Ah well, still you are doing a great job with all the details.
Love your old sewing machine, my grandmother had one similar, I think my mom has it now (I hope) have a great day!
You've done a tremendous amount of organizing here, Floss. Everything looks great.
To clarify - I would like a non-American magazine (and non-Canadian). Most of our magazines come from the US. A French magazine would be wonderful.

Hi Floss, and thanks for all hard work organising this. Just to confirm that I am sending an English magazine, and I'm happy to receive anything in English or French. I am a little partial to all things American (this includes my husband) so anything from across the pond would be good. I don't however want to make your life any more complicated and anything would be lovely. :-) xx
Thank you everyone - I've noted what you've said!
Hi floss!
What a lot of hard work you are putting into this lovely swap!
I'm happy to have a magazine from anywhere, but in English please if that's possible. I shall email you my details!

Hi Floss. I'm not fussy about which season so please don't worry about that. Would prefer one in English but really, if it's becoming a pain, don't worry about that either. I echo what everyone has said, which is well done you and a big thank you!
I am attempting to email my address to you, no luck so far but will keep trying.

Wow Floss, that was a lot of work for you. I'm emailing you my address. Thanks so much for doing this! Karen
You lovely people need to understand that I like to have a little project in hand, so don't worry about me working too hard!
Well done for organising this Floss. Happy to accept anything in English or French. If it is Antipodean, I am not bothered what season!
Looks very good Floss....I'm happy to receive any from anywhere as long as they are in English.
Most of mine are to do with sewing, gardening or country lifestyle.
Hello Floss
Thank you for putting such a lot of work into this - we're all going to have such a nice surprise when we open our packages. I will accept any magazine from anywhere, so let it shake out as it may - you can leave my til last if you need to. I look forward to finding out who'll get my offering and what I'll have in return.
Hi Floss, I'm not fussed about the season. Mine will be a summer one is that ok? I really don't what I get I'm just happy to be involved! Thanks for this fun swap, Beck xo ps I'm assuming you have my address still? x
Hi Floss,
oh my gosh what a big job this is turning out to be for you! I am really happy to fit in wherever you may have a gap, whatever I get is fine. Will send you my postal address.
Thanks so much for organising this huge mag swap!
Just popping in to say well done you for such valiant work! I have in my head a picture of a huge piece of thick paper with names and lines and languages and lush joy waiting to wing away! Hope you're drinking enough coffee!
It's on Microsoft Excel actually, but otherwise you're about right!
Oh my goodness Floss, what a mammoth project you have here! I'm sure you'll get there in the end and there will be happy ladies reading lovely magazines all over the world.
Hi,Floss! Thank you for asking and doing well this organization's hard works.Arigato!
So I will send a mag in japanese. and happy to accept anything in English or French. Because my sister is studying French so it seems helpful for her either.:)
And I'm not sure what others want to see a japanese mag though..Glad to let me know,please.
Thanks
hi floss i cant find your email contact, so i will just give you my email address here, its
mandylwarren@gmail.com
The vintage ladies are Lovely.ThankYou so much for sharing all these beautiful, beautiful images xx It's a Wonderful collection, I have so enjoyed looking at them :o)
The magazine swap sounds exciting, unfortunatly I am unable to commit to something like that at the moment, but it's a fab idea and I am sure all the ladies involved will Love it.
p.s. I was thinking there that this was a regular swap, but if it's just a one off (am confused) and You need another mag to make up the numbers I could probably send an edition of country living magazine (summer issue) if anyone is interested.
Hi Floss
I just read Your Lovely comment. ThankYou xx
And please do get back to me if You need to x
Hope You and Yours have a Super weekend
Hugs
Sumea
