Okay, I am going to try my hand at this swap hosting thing (with great support from StitchIsOurHero and PrincessNancy). I have two swaps for you tonight - so here goes the first.

Everyone is invited to participate in the Disney Couples Swap!!

Due date is August 12th (that is when I need to receive your package. I will wait one week to return them just in case someone’s doesn‘t arrive on schedule). I know that is a while from now, but that will give schools a chance to get started and the pace to even out for those of us who have to deal with education!

I have chosen the couples, so that you are sure to get enough elements to decorate a page. I have also kept the groups small, so you can easily join more than one group. Okay – now for the details!

1. Choose a Disney couple…or two…or three.
2. Select an element (see below). You will make 5 of each element.
3. PM me as soon as possible with your DIS name, name and address so I can pre-address the return envelopes.
4. Post your progress status on the Progress thread, which I will start after the slots are filled.
5. Check the progress thread for your status. I will update it with approximate regularity.
6. Packing Instructions - use a Ziploc for each person and put the element for that person into their bag, with their DIS name and group number on the outside. You’ll have 5 bags for each group, so please put those in a single Ziploc bag and write your DIS name on the outside of that bag. Be sure to include your name and your DIS name in your envelope.
7. Mailing Instructions - Please use the Flat Rate Envelopes ($4.05) or the Flat Rate Box ($8.10) to mail your packages of goodies to me! Include $4.05 for envelope postage (or stamps if you don't want to send cash) to return your items or $8.10 for the box postage. On the outside of your box/envelope please include your DIS name and Swap name in the bottom corner!
8. PM me if you have problems, need to drop out, or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes). Just let me know so I can make arrangements for an angel or other help.
9. There will only be 5 people per group with a total of 8 groups.
10. Most importantly HAVE FUN!! :banana:

Ok - here are the elements to choose from:

Element Selection:

-1 Topper - 8 inches wide
-1 Border - vertical, 11 inches in length/width
-2 journaling boxes - double matted, embellished - with at least a 2x2 writing area
-4 Embellished squares - double matted
-2 Frames - embellished
-2 Photo Mats - double matted and embellished
-2 Tags - double matted - must include either fibers or eyelets in the holes
-1 Box ‘n’ Tag - 1 of each- Above rules apply

-1 Paper Piecing
-1 Matted Poem or song Lyric - double matted and embellished - At least 4x4 space (no handwriting please)
-Eyelets/brads/buttons/charms AND fiber/ribbon - (6 per person AND 1 yard)


OH – one last hint – the new Disney Romance stamps that are at the post office have 5 stamps each of four couples – Mickey and Minnie, Belle and Beast, Lady and the Tramp, and Cinderella and Prince Charming – for $7.40, a bargain!

Dyan...I know. I realized the title might be a bit, well, provocative. But the swap is filling up, so at least people are looking. :teeth:

Let's see, what else...

PixieDust32, in Group F, the shaker box was already being done. I saved you the last slot in the group, if you want it, just let me know what other element you might want to do. Or if you don't want the slot, I will open it back up.

YodasMom, in Group E, the matted poem was already being done, I did the same as I did for PixieDust. So if you want the slot, just let us know what element you might want. And, Group F was already full. I'm sorry.

Thanks everybody, for jumping in!

I got your pm about the space available for the Incredibles and I would like to take it. Unless it has been taken. I had a few questions about how this works. Lets say I just did 1 couple how many of what do I get back. I am not trying to be greedy, I just was trying to explain it to someone and I got really confused :confused3

Hey Kristin, this is probably easier than it sounds. You make 5 of your elements (I think you said you were making photo mats, and one element is two, possibly coordinated, mats). So you would make 5 sets, put them in zip locks (see packing instructions) and mail them to me (mailing instructions are somewhere - I know I have them on the progress thread). When I get all of the packages, I will break down the groups so that every person will get back one set of their own stuff, plus one set from each of the four other people in that group. So, in this case, when you meet Mr. and Mrs. Incredible in the World, you will have 5 cool elements to put on a scrapbook page with your pictures and your autograph - or just to intersperse with pictures.

I hope that makes sense! There are a lot of these ladies who are MUCH better at this than I. You might also check out the Sticky thread about swapping for newbies - that has helped me a lot!
