I like the way Amy does it doing to random lottos at the beginning of the month.. depending on how many she thinks she can do in the month. You could even auction a couple pairs too for people who dont want to wait. <BR/><BR/>I love your longies and would love a pair, so i think if you didnt like that idea, you could also just go ahead and give slots to those who post in your blog! :giggle: <BR/><BR/>Just kidding of course... Im a definite fan of your knitting though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120344932719914655.post-44022603717556284542008-07-30T20:39:00.000-07:002008-07-30T20:39:00.000-07:00Yes!

But, I'm going to sleep on it one more night. :)<BR/>I don't ever want anymore than I feel I can keep up on. And yes, with two toddlers...life is sometimes silly! :DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103852547598311880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120344932719914655.post-35430896991330077052008-07-30T19:23:00.000-07:002008-07-30T19:23:00.000-07:00Oh Monica- when you get it figured out please let ...Oh Monica- when you get it figured out please let me know! lol! For me, I just go by the date requested. Deposits are important I think and show that the buyer is not just window shopping. It's so hard to judge how long a wait can be because being a mom of little ones can be so unpredictable. I think maybe closing the list once you think it would be more than a 6-8 week wait would be smart since so much can happen in that time period. But as I said, I'm still figuring it out. I think it'd be easier on the WAHM-end to keep slots through HC, or Crankypants style. But limit it to a number so it's always in your control. Eh - was that even helpful?! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120344932719914655.post-87542889967569485432008-07-29T22:16:00.000-07:002008-07-29T22:16:00.000-07:00Hmmm...I can see how this would be a tough issue. ...Hmmm...I can see how this would be a tough issue. I think that maybe the best way to handle this would be to give custom slots to the first people who leave comments on each blog post. It would probably be a good idea to have this policy start, oh, about 5 minutes ago :)<BR/>Of course, if that doesn't sound appealing (but really, why wouldn't it?) you could handle your customs the same way crankypants does, and let everyone sign up over a few hour period each month, and then use a number generator to randomly select as many people as you can take on. Or else do it the old-fashioned hyenacart way and just have the spots go live at a certain time and whoever has the fastest fingers gets them. If you do have any space on your list for longies though, I think I would probably start by giving that mama with the haikus a slot. She sounds pretty cool. ;) Good luck with however you decide to tackle the stocking issue!marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768511912044910800noreply@blogger.com
