Angels: 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. I will not be asking for angels after Jan 8th. I will swap out between groups as best I can.
Packaging Instructions
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS THROUGH CAREFULLY. If you are unable to package and label as follows, I respectfully ask that you do not sign up for this swap. Items that are not packaged and labeled properly are an added burden to the hostess; it really slows down the sorting process and increases the chances of you not getting back the pieces you are entitled to.
Place each set of items in a Ziploc bag that is able to close. Label the bag with your DISname, name and group info:
123SA
Susan Billings
Group 1
Do not address the bags to the swappers in your group. Sounds strange, but it is easier to sort if the bags arent addressed.
Place the individual bags inside a gallon size or larger bag that is able to close. NO SMALLER. Although your items may fit in a quart size bag, the pieces you get back may not fit in a small bag. Label the outer bag also. The little paper slips that some of you use are fine. I appreciate your attention to the details here.
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.)
Mailing:
You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after January 22 [note this is the mail by date]. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2372067. I wont require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER January 22. 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 for postal 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.
Mini Page Kits:
3 elements from the list below, embellished at least once. One of the elements must incorporate a title. You could make a traditional topper, welded and shadowed title, an altered CD with the title on it, a tag or squares with the title etc and then 2 elements. Group sizes vary but the maximum is 6. You do not need to state your elements at sign ups.
Single Element Groups: state your element when you sign up (list below) -- no repeats with the exception of paper piecings (we will have to make sure we are not doing the same one) Group size = 6
