Welcome to the Disney Event Swap 
1. There will be a mini-kit group (1 photo mat, 1 journal box, 1 title/topper and 1 extra element) and several single element groups.
2. Sign-ups will be open from July 11, 2011 (noon eastern) until July 15th, 2011. Due Date is September 19, 2011.
3. PM me with your DIS name, name and address - only if I have not swapped with you before.
4. Post your status on the Progress thread - which will be posted after the slots are filled.
5. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with ship info and received info.
6. PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
7. HAVE FUN!!
Newbies are welcome, but, I will limit you to three groups.
I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible.
Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS (the bag MUST close) with your DISname, name and group letter. Do not address your items to a particular swapper. (That makes it harder for me to sort!) Your label should look like this:

Cheryl Hammer
Group A
Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) bag and label. Please use the gallon bag (or larger) -- your items may fit in a smaller bag, but the items you receive back might not. Please mark all bags w/ above information.
Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after September 10, 2011. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. * I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9x6x2) - $5.20, Medium/Standard box $10.95, Large - $14.95. *Please note the recent increase in shipping rates.* . If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70. And I am not responsible to for postal errors. ** Please include a return address label -- either a USPS priority mail label that you have addressed, or the little ones you would put on envelope. (This cuts down on errors.)**
DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.

Let me know if I forgot anything or there is another category you want to add. I'll add more groups if we need them. Also let me know if you need a sign-up buddy. The sign-ups won't start until noon eastern because I need to drop Rachel of at camp and I won't be back until then.
