GHOSTS AND GOBLINS AND GADGETS, OH MY, FALL BROWN BAG SWAP QUESTIONS/ANSWERS (can be used for all swaps, not just BBS)

Hello everyone!

Since this is too voluminous for me to copy over to this wonderful new board, I am going to provide the link to the HUGE list of questions I compiled from may previous swaps, then I aksed them on one thread so that we could asnwer on one thread and have all the information together in one spot.

This can be used for ALL swaps, not just the Brown Bag Swaps and the best part is that you don't need to retype all the same information each time a swap is started.

Swappers, if you haven't already posted your answers, please feel free!

Okay, here is the link:

Thanks Marcia! I was going to email Kate and ask if she had the urls saved and I just forgot.

I think this is the best way to let everyone know about those threads because I sure don't have the time to copy them over here.

Morning...I have a question, it's probably simple, but not sure how to do it. How do I answer your questions, so I don't have to type the questions back to you....Hope someone understands my question. Kathy Jo

Kathy, you can highlight the questions, right click, copy and then paste into the reply box and then answer the questions.

hugs,
♥Marcia

Ok Marcia, I got that part to copy over to the reply, but when I start to answer the questions it told me that I didn't have any space left in reply. I only copied the first set of questions....Thanks, Marcia, for your help...can you help the computer "dummy" again? Kathy Jo

Kathy Jo, you did just fine. That is the way I answered my quiz. By just putting what applies to you it makes alot less reading too. By filling in the blanks it makes it more fun for your partner to shop.
