Pending a few questions I have hanging out there to people, these are the participants (subject to change if I don't get emails back from people, hint hint!!!!). Rick and I will be working on pairing people up (and I'll contact you in about a week) -- we have to:
a) Create three spreadsheets for the three reveal dates.
b) Cut and paste everyone who requested a date into those spreadsheets.
c) Evenly distribute the rest of the people across the three dates.
d) Match up those who will swap internationally.
e) Pair up the rest of the people, trying not to match same style to same style (as best as we can).
f) Check for any overlaps.
g) Create email distribution lists.
h) Email each of the 399 people who their partners are and what to do next.
i) Buy pie.

Girl......you must be half crazy! That is a LOT of work for you guys to take on.
Thanks for doing it!
Yeah! I am on the list. I am so excited.
Good lord, woman. I think I would go insane.
I think the scotch will definitively be needed o.o;
Whew, it sounds like a huge undertaking! Yes, I do believe pie and alcohol will be needed.
Oh YAY! You know when I see this list, I think 397 new bead friends!!!!
Thank you, Lori! Scotch is on me if we ever get to meet. :)
Man, I was exhausted before I even got to the bottom of the list. I only saw one thing wrong with your post -- it is not enough to "buy" pie. You must also "eat" pie and "drink" the scotch.
Don't forget that part.
Holy cow look at ALL those names! I'm thinking it's a darn good thing you've done this once or twice before :D Here's hoping it goes smoothly - knock on wood!!
lots of pie and scotch...I think a small slice and glass every night as a reward after dealing with this, should about do it... followed by a bigger slice and glass in celebration of finishing it lol
... then restock in time for the hop ;)
Enjoy your pie (and your scotch) Looks like a long night/weekend. :)
Wow - you are a Rock Star!! Good luck with your party and THANK YOU for bringing us all these wonderful artists! BTW - I see two Arlene Dean's on your list. Hope you enjoy the journey (and hope we'll see some of those lovely B&B finds in your creation) ~~T
YOU ARE AMAZING! And you definitely deserve some pie and scotch. Thanks for your hard work.
Anything is do-able with pie and scotch!
Mmmm, pie.
Thank you so much for organizing this extravaganza!
mmmmmmm pie. Scotch? nope just pie :)
Wow! I am excited to be on the huge list, but I am overwhelmed FOR you! I can't imagine having 400 comments on my blog, much less trying to match them up with dates, shipping, etc.
Thanks for working so hard to help everyone get to know each other. Hot soup!
Thank you Lori! I hope you don't need the scotch but better to be safe than sorry! LOL!
Scotch and Pie - make sure you have the pie first to soak up the scotch! Big job but thanks for hosting it - it is my first and I am looking forward to it.
If there is anything I can do to help you out, I am only about 1.5 hours away, ie; tell jokes to help you keep your sanity, make spread sheets, bring you pie, hold down the fort so you can rest your eyes, pour some scotch!
I know I am a day late, don't know how that happened because I have been looking forward to this for months! Is it possible to be included in the swap?
Thank you Lori
*big hug*
I wish you lived closer, because the women in my family specialize in MAKING pie. My mom's specialty is lemon meringue, although I like her baked peach pie the best. My specialty is mixed berry. That mix is combination of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry baked together. My oldest daughter always requests my pecan pie, although I do make a mean oatmeal pie for the kiddo who is allergic to nuts. My husband likes them all. What's YOUR favorite?!? I think you DESERVE one of each! Thanks for all of your work, Lori! --Diane
omg... the list is soooo long!!! big shoutout to you and rick for helping us organise all of this!
Lori,
You and Rick are amazing! Thank you again for all the hard work you do to put this on! Yes, I think pie and scotch are in order :)
Big hugs to you both!!!
I know I am late too, I posted yesterday, not sure if you saw. But if there is room, I would love to be included. email - designedbyvera@gmail.com
Thanks
Veralynne
you are my hero !!!!!
better move pie to the top of that list!!!!
m.e. :)
That is an epic list! I am so ready for this event. I treasure it so much, and you are such a wonderful muse and source of inspiration. You're the best! ♥
I am exhausted thinking about doing all of that! You are incredible. I am so excited to participate for the first time!
Hmmmmm what about Scotch pie??? LOL Thank you for doing this, you are such an amazing person! :-) Kris
Thank you for all of the wonderful work you do, Lori! You're a star - no wonder there are so many people joining this great swap.
You astound me! I think you should look for Scotch pie :)
I think that you should give out your address so that we can all ship you some pie.
By the way - love the new look of the blog! ~~T
I can't wait!!
