All right, folks. It has begun. Some of you have already gotten your buddy assignments by now- the rest of you don’t panic! I should have everyone sorted by the end of the week. It’s a daunting job- We had over 200 individuals participate, and many of you went for multiple buddies. There may be a few of you who end up buddieless, especially guys, but I’m working on it.

Many thanks to those who offered to ship internationally, BTW!

As promised, there is a public Flickr pool for you here: www.flickr.com/groups/giantridiculous. And yes, I’ll probably post some of the best ones here!

A final tally of the 16 countries participating:

-United States

-United Kingdom(England and Scotland)

-Australia

-Canada

-Sweden

-Belgium

-Denmark

-Finland

-the Netherlands

-Germany

-Russia

-Ireland

-Maylasia

-Singapore

-Uruguay

-Brazil

   Oh shucks! I meant to add that I would love to ship internationally. Count me in (if it’s not too much of a trouble now) for shipping internationally.

   I was wondering if I didn’t make the cut!

   Can’t wait to get my things all packed!

   Well I forgot to say that I would ship internationally too, in case I don’t have a buddy here!

   I looked up my person on Facebook and ended up selecting an entirely new batch of clothes to match her style. I don’t know if anyone noticed my second email that I could accomodate a second person, but right now, I definitely can, even international.

   As I said already, I have men’s wear to ship as well, since my boyfriend just gave me another “donate pile”.
   I can ship to US as well, I am in Canada.

   Ahh, I wish I could increase my swap to 2 people! I realized I have quite a lot of clothes to give away. Is it too late D:

    So frustrating. I want to join the swap but I only have 2 boxes of old hippy clothes my mom left me.

    If I’m not interested in floral and denim patchwork skirts, I doubt anyone here is either.

    I will DEFINITELY add some arts and crafts to my package.
