OK this is getting a little more difficult than I thought it would be so I am gonna simplify things. Each member will make their package and I will randomly draw to see who is matched with whom, then I will e-mail each member with the address of their swap person. You will not be getting a box from the same person you are sending one to! So go crazy with your awesome crafty selves and get your boxes ready. To keep things fair here is a list of guidelines:
1. Everything MUST fit into a Priority Mail Box 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8" domestic
shipping price for this package is $10.35
2. Each swapper should put together a box with at least 15 items (big or small) in
a color coordinated or themed package. Preferably this will be items you already
have on hand so that you don't spend too much money (should we set a spending
limit?)...
I will update this post as people reply.
Signing up for this SWAP will be done NO LATER THAN January 17.
Roll Call:
1. Me
2. scrap4you
3. Deana
4. frndly1
5. Winnie64
6. ilovebuttons
7. soccermom
Please PM me with your addresses.
Each member should copy and post the answers to the following questions...
My Favorite:
Color(s)
Flower
Food
Music
Animal
Season
Holiday
Travel Destination
One Scrapbook theme I DO NOT use is...

As far as colors go, my fav is the red family, anywhere from pink to maroon. For a secondary color, if needed, I would say blue. I certainly have a lot of yellow if anyone wants yellow, but I can probably come up with any color really if yellow isn't needed.

I might be interested, but how would this work? Would it be like a Secret Santa type deal where the hostess tells everyone else who to swap with? Just curious. I also think that we should give two colors that we like, that way we might get a bigger variety of things? Just a thought.. :)

I was thinking that each person could make a package, then send it to another member. Like Secret Sisters.

Something I have looked at buying for my scrapbook collection but put back is...Stickels, heard about it here, don't know what to use it for so I put it back. Anything else you would like to share...well, I am pretty much "out there" all over this forum, if you don't know me by now, you must be new!

Do the items have to be in original packaging? I take each item out of the packaging as soon as I get it so I can keep everything organized.
