Wee (has buttons left over but completed their collection, awesomely would still like to help those that are missing their button!)
I had originally planned to give until yesterday, September 9th, for folks to "sign up" but am willing to give it more time with the group's ok. If you're not in a rush it may be good to give it another week with its own thread on the forum.
If we go with that plan then our 'deadlines' will be September 16th to sign up. Mail your buttons and your wish list by September 23 then I'll get to work. How quickly I can turn-around shipping will be TOTALLY up to you guys! If I get buttons, I can sort. If buttons aren't mailed, I can't sort them. If you could post on here when you shipped them I can keep a tally of who sent vs who didn't. That way I know when I can confirm all buttons are/should have been received. This will let me seal up envelopes/boxes/parcels/carrier pigeons/gnomes and get them sent off to you.
The particulars of what I, your fearless organizer, will need:
- A container of your buttons mailed, to me. DM me for my address. I'm in the US, in Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh to be precise (go Steelers)
- With the buttons I need your list of 'wish list' buttons. Whatever buttons you absolutely desire to have should top that list
a. Use the Buttoneering website names as your name on your wish list.
b. Please list your buttons: "USERNAME: name of button" This will help me picture match and double check that I am sending you the RIGHT buttons.
- Keep in mind that the buttons you are able to receive are directly related to the buttons I am sent. Spread the word.
a. I will do my best to be fair. It is possible that other people will want the same buttons. I'll try to spread out high wishlist buttons over everybody.
b. Include any buttons you would like to receive, no matter how low down the list they are. I will only be sending what you ask for, so if Joe Schmo's button is one you're missing but not high on your list to receive it and you leave it off. You won't get it.
- I'll need your name (real one please) and address with the box
- Please sort your buttons and mark them with their name as it appears on the Buttoneering website.
- I am planning to send in padded envelopes unless you end up with a metric-fuck-ton (yes, that's a real measurement). I'll box up your ton of metric fucks and send them to you.
- If you, for some reason, want your valuable buttons insured/delivery confirmed I'll send them that way then send you a PayPal request for money. It'll be easiest that way.
- Once I have a better idea of how much $$ this will cost I may tack up a chip-in/paypal/something similar to request VOLUNTARY donations.
a. Joining doesn't mean you have to pay anything. It's not about that.
b. I may not ask any donations at all.
c. I love you all.
d. tl;dr?

Yes indeedy. I'd make your list in a general order of most to least wanted that way, even if I don't get THE button that you most want ever, you'll still be able to fill your button collection holes. #thatswhatshesaid
Also, I alphabetized the list. I decided G4amer should be alphabetically placed according to it's phonetik spelling.

Wee, yes, the mail in has begun.
I've added you all onto the Group Conversation, so I BELIEVE it should appear for you now. Let me know if it does not. Thanks!

Really awesome Wee sent along a massive amount of buttons with her own including some for people NOT involved in the remote swap. Keep that in mind when making your lists. I didn't make that clear enough, I don't think, there will be SOME buttons for people who aren't doing the remote swap.
Hubby and I are also doubling up our collection and canceling out duplicates to throw into the pile.
If you've already sent your buttons/list please do drop me a line if you want to change it. I know some people have sent a list but only included the people in the swap. I wanted the list with the "order of desire" to help fill holes... And I've so much buttony goodness with which to fill holes.
The AWESOME thing about this is that, because we're a small number, it means we can fill a lot more holes for a lot more people potentially. Yay! Buttons!

I am sorry to report that I could not make it to the post office today. Things got a little crazy, a mop was involved...
At any rate, I will do my best to get my buttons to the post office tomorrow morning, but I am judging a Magic: The Gathering pre-release at midnight tonight, so I have no idea what state I will be in come morning. (Yes, I am so much of a geek that I am a judge for Magic...) But I will priority mail them, and they should only take a day or two to get to you, as I am only a couple of states away from you.

"Sadly friends,
Work has kept me insanely busy, and I will not be able to participate in this particular soiree. However, I do have plenty of buttons and if you have your heart set on my Danger Mouse and or Penfold buttons, I can see what I can do of just sending it to you. Shoot me a PM and I will do my best.
Sorry for the late notice,
Dannicus"

SwordMage, I need your lists (Ghola Duncan) please.
Anybody who hasn't mailed, or has mailed and I haven't noted it as received, please drop me a note. I just want to make sure that I keep on top of who's still incoming.
That's fine Swae, just please get them to me ASAP
Thanks guys!

Luckily, between the tremendous bag Wee sent and mine and hubby's extras a lot of holes will be able to get filled for you guys, so that's good.
These are the extras left, aside from the ones mailed in from the participants:
