New MM swap--Due June 1

twinsmom1 · Post by **twinsmom1** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 12:13 am

Please read all INSTRUCTIONS carefully, I ask this only because when directions are followed we have some amazing swaps in the end. I personally see a major difference when directions are not taken seriously, I know this is all in good fun, however we want these items to be something we get in return that we will use. There are some extremely talented people on this board and I love everyones work, all I ask is that we make this our "best" work. This swap I will only allow BAZZILL or TEXTURED like Bazzill cardstock to be used, please do not sign up for spots if you dont plan on using these items. I am not trying to be picky but we are getting a lot of flimsy items in swaps, not due to the fault of swappers just that paper doesnt seem to hold up as well. Please dont think I am attacking anyone that is not the reasoning behind this. Please follow directions on all items, when it says embellish item please no less than 2 Embellishments per item. Postage for this swap will be $4.65 if you have more than 1 spot please 2 spots ad an additional $2 and 3 Spots make a flat rate of $8.95. I have noticed that postage on some things has gone over, while I dont mind helping cover it I simply cant continue to do so.THESE SWAPS ARE DUE June 1, 2008PLEASE FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS including the 2 gallon bags for each SWAP you are signed up for. Please include $8.95 postage if you are in ALL SWAPS NO EXCEPTIONS!! Please include a self addressed return label, 2 gallon bag, what the items are for, swap name, due date, and the spot you have in it as well and number of players. This is extremely helpful to hostesses when we sort so that we understand what swap it is for. If POSTAGE is not included in your swap items your items WILL NOT BE MAILED back to you until postage is received. These swap items will only be held for a short amount of time as well, after a month these items will be put up for payment to anyone willing to pay postage. Please do not "hold your item" for the swap, SEND ALL SPOTS with the swap it makes it easier to sort so the hostess doesnt think she is short one. Please DO NOT send partial amounts please send all items at once, getting paper is extremely difficult to keep track if its coming from several different places and in one's and two's. If you have a paper spot and have it sent directly from the company that is fine, however dont forget to send your baggies and postage as well. This can be easliy forgotten after a time period. PLEASE BAG all small items including, RIBBON, BRADS, BUTTONS, METAL ITEMS, DECOS, SLIDE MOUNTS, FLOSS BOBBINS, PRIMAS, BLING, anything that could get lost easily.If you need an ANGEL for any spot you sign up for please give all hostesses a FAIR amount of time ahead in order to find an angel for your spot. This is only fair and causes less damage control when its close to the closing date.HERE WE GO GALS let the sign ups begin!!Elizabeth line           berry    Floral dot stripe1.

OK call me a complete blonde but maybe i'm missing the actual WHAT to do in one of these swaps!! lol. I'm new to this site and have done plenty of swaps in other groups, but am confused here right now.

. Do you just pick one of the items and you'll send in a certain number of those items and then you'll get back one of each of the items or do you actually make something with th product you chose??

Ok I'd like to join this!!

I'll take a patterned paper spot on BOTH !!
