havanaholly Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 At one point, just before our hub people burned out, we had one person for 1:12 swaps and another for 1:24 swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsea Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 What's a "hub" person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathrynated Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just a guess, but "hubs" are probably the people who collect all the items, and then send everything out to the participants, instead of everyone sending one item to everyone else.

havanaholly Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yup, that's what the hub does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbytsdy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Fantastic! I've never swapped before, so very interested-- already have ideas about things I could make... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 That was the issue we had. We wanted a trusted hub for sending the items to and to get them back. We have it settled but the person can't start just yet. Very, very soon though! I'm sure we will at some point hit all scales that Greenleaf carries ;) I know I personally dabble in all of the scales myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I remember making the offer to be a hub but it wasn't accepted. It was shortly before the swaps stopped. The offer still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyacinthB Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Asking again. What is a spring fling and what are the swaps I keep reading about??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigrandma10 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Asking again. What is a spring fling and what are the swaps I keep reading about??? Sue, Spring Fling is where Greenleaf offers a kit, once a year, to be made in a contest for creativity for prizes. A swap is an item home-made in a certain scale, sent to a "hub" person who collects all the swaps then returns them to all the people that have participate. So, if 20 people participate, you make 20 items the same, send to Hub and receive 20 different items. I know this was very wordy, hope you understood me. I can be confusing at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Med Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Is there a limit to the number of people who can join in? Are there any rules posted anywhere and can you opt in after you know the theme or do you have to do it before - canya tell I'm interested.

havanaholly Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Somewhere in the old swap threads one of the hubs posted how mini are too mini for a single hub. In addition to sending your items to the hub you need to send money for postage to resend your items out to everyone in the swap; you're making the same item for each person in the swap, so if a hundred or more people want to be in a swap each person has to make a hundred or so items, and the hub then has to make up a hundred or so packages of each different item to send back out; and that gets ridiculous at today's postage prices, so the number who participate in a given swap is usually limited.
