synecdochicWhat 180 BPAL imps look like:
Part of my process involves making baggies for everyone's stuff, each carefully labelled with your name, invoice #, and count of what you ordered. I decided to pull frimps and put them in the baggies in advance of the big package getting here, since said big package is going to take a hell of a long time to decant and I wanted to save as much time as possible. Hence, laying out all the imps!
The top bit is all the GC imps I have in the frimps bin, in piles alphabetically. (Or rather, in piles by first letter of the scent name -- I don't sort more than that.) The ziplock baggie at the bottom is all the LE decants I have in the frimps bin.
I have a spreadsheet containing the names of all the things in the frimps bin, so I start by going through the signups and finding everyone who's given me a wishlist link (they get priority on the frimps, so that I'm not taking an imp that somebody wanted and putting it in the bag of somebody who hasn't expressed a preference) and cross-correlating the wishlist and the spreadsheet. When I find a hit, I take the imp out of the pile and off the inventory spreadsheet. Then, I go back and fill in everybody else's frimps from what I've got left over.
This time around, I think I was able to get at least one hit from nearly everybody who gave me a wishlist -- and hopefully everyone else will enjoy at least one of what you get instead!
