☽ Sisters ☾ Ostara Altar: Pick 3!

Wowsers! We have essentially the same swap up. Even the same picture. Interesting... Lol.

Eep! I signed up for this swap on the gwe and then saw this posted and thought it was gwe swap since it had the same image and description. I signed up thinking maybe I hadn't clicked ok for the gwe swap or something, I didn't even realize it was two separate swaps. I will have to pass this time as I don't think I can do two of the exact same swaps at this time, sorry.

@Tiffaknee lol ikr? I thought it was hilarious when you hosted your swap a few days after me =)

Hmm. Yes quite hilarious of a coincidence. I'm in your group and never got a message about this swap. I checked my messages from you and I have all of your group messages (I never delete my inbox) announcing all of your swaps up except this one. The last one I have from you was Feb. 1st stating two new e-swaps. I had no knowledge of you creating this and surely could have come up with a different kind of Ostara swap for my members (and you, you're a member) had I received notice that you made yours, first, if that's what you're saying. And I'm quite sure I sent out a group message about my swap to you about this. I could have taken it down had you told me you already made a version of this. I thought wow, I guess great minds think alike? I remember when I started creating Sabbat altar swaps for my group with a "pick 3" theme to them a few months ago and them being really successful because it was a new version of doing altar swaps on SB. And we have decided to do pick 3's for the Sabbat's since. :) All Pagan groups on here have done altar swaps, but I got a lot of great feedback from other swappers when we suggested expanding on it by letting the partners choose their own items to send from a list. But then again, I got the "Pick 3" idea from a mail art swap, too. It's always fun when you make things unique to your groups. :) I'll be sure to make sure our swaps aren't too similar anymore from now on, because I don't always get messages about them and don't check if a swap exists before I create it. And this way, any members we might share have the opportunity to join different swaps in different groups. Regardless of the odd mishap, I'm happy to see that people are enjoying the ideas and joining swaps. =)

@Tiffaknee actually, the only thought in my mind was that we're on the exact same wavelength. I was going to message you about how funny that we chose the same pic [The very first row of 'Ostara' in Google images'] after your group message, but then I decided nah, it wasn't such a big deal to me =) We've always known we think pretty similar, don't we?

I know, I know. :) But I'm a super sensitive empath and just wanted to clarify that I had no idea this existed, and don't intend for you to have less members in it because they joined mine, or vice versa. I really was astonished at how similar we type, etc. When I saw yours, I said to myself, "yup, that was the prettiest picture in google images, and the two, light and dark hares for stability is perfect." And I don't know how to tell what dates swaps were made, so I sensed that you may have perceived tension in my comment in thinking it was meant to be "competitive" or something when it was truly just a funny discovery for me. Just wanted to clear my air. It's all good, sistah.

Ahaha Tiff, I know! There's definitely no hard feelings on my end. Whenever we chat we're like 'I was thinking the exact same thing', so I wasn't too surprised to see we had a similar swap thought up!

However, I hadn't realized your group was specifically doing pick 3's for Sabbats. I just chose that for Ostara because I was entirely too lazy to think up something complex like last year's garden swap [on Q&P], and pick 3's are pretty easy to do =) So I've decided on a different way to do Sabbat swaps from now on~ sending ya a message!
