First, for those of you who said you did not get the "Welcome, You're In!" email, please check both your spam and deleted folders. I use MailChimp to send all the emails at once, and some mail protocols either don't like mass mailers, or your security settings for your email is set such that it kills it. If you follow this page, you should be just fine. I'll post what I sent in email here as well.
I have no idea if this will work, but if you aren't getting emails, please try to add yourself to my list (even though you're already on it) by clicking here. I tested it with an alternate ID but it still may or may not work -- some have been able to add themselves, so please do try that method. But if you keep your eye out here, you should be fine.
About partners -- I have to individually email every single one of you. I don't like putting everyone's email up for spammers to grab and have a hay day with. It takes a LOT of time to email the "here's your partner" email. Some of you may receive your partner BEFORE the 28th, so please keep a look out, and I will post partners and blog links here after I email you, too.
While I'm getting you all paired, please get your soups ready. I know some of you like to wait and see who you get before (because you just may have made a soup that they already kind of use!) but the extended waiting period between sign up and partner list means there should be NO LATE MAILINGS. Sorry to yell in all caps, but it is so important you get yourself as ready as you can. I absolutely know life can get in the way, so please start preparing now.
I'm now going to post the email I sent out last week that some of you say didn't arrive in your inbox.

I like to check out my partners page and blog to see what they usually works in as well as check out favorites and what not, so I can tailor their soup to them. That said, I sign up for international which means I need to be ready to mail quickly for it to arrive in plenty of time. So I have THREE soups sitting here, each in different colour palettes and materials, waiting for me to see which one is the best fit for my partner :) the hardest part now, is not playing with these soups myself since I really like all of them and keep getting ideas for them >.< LOL
ReplyDeleteSkye, you DON'T want to send them something tailored for them. You don't want to send them something that they would normally work with. I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely eagerly awaiting my BSBP partner but completely understand how life can get in the way so you just take your sweet time! Nobody is in a hurry :) I've already got one soup prepared and am hoping it will be the soup to send out to my partner. I know it's a good one because when I showed it to my mom she said, "Are you SURE you want to send that one out? It's so pretty....I want it." LOL
ReplyDeleteI am working on finding the coolest focal and clasp I can get and I am finding so many wonderful designs!!! Have a Blessed day!!!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO thank you Lori for posting this... EVERY bit of it has made my day!
ReplyDeleteYour book arrived in the mail today and I'm even in more awe of you...but how could that be...so excited to be part of this for the first time! What a wonderful world you created for beaders!
ReplyDeleteLori that is a monumental task! Wouldn't it be easier to pair people up in a Facebook group or event document and have people check there for their names. I think everyone that signed on did so through Facebook anyways?
ReplyDeleteTina, I don't know how to preserve people's privacy. I have to list emails so partners can get in touch, and putting out a 500 name list is a spammers delight.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I saw a button somewhere for the BSBP 2014, now I can't find it. Doh! Please can you direct me to the blog button so that I can wear it on my blog with pride! Thanks x
ReplyDeleteYour efficiency and organizational skills floor me (especially in view of your personal life).
ReplyDeleteMucho respect and admiration,
Shannon
