You can only sign up if you have current (caught up) status in swaps...I love all of you but it really helped with lateness. If you really want it hurry up and catch up and let me know.2. You must contain the monkey paper below on any handmade item, with an exception of die cuts or paper piecings.3. You can only use bazzill brand cardstock on your items unless it is ok'd through me first...I prefer heavier style cardstock without the white core...4. I ask that you pour your heart into your work and this swap will be very successful.5. Last but not least...HAVE FUN!!!!6.
