MGM Element Swap
Get excited!! It’s the MGM element swap! DH & I love MGM, and I’m so geared up for this swap!
The due date for this swap is April 26th (that is when I need to receive your package). Please mail packages to me by April 19th. I will be mailing everything I have back to you on or before May 2nd –this is a FIRM date, since my work is CRAZY that next week (state testing time).
The Details
1. Choose a group. There are four to start with. Just let me know what ride/attraction you are choosing for your topic. For starters, please limit yourself to two groups, so that everyone interested can swap. If I have extra slots, I will, of course, open them up.
2. Choose two elements for each slot you select – see the list below. Post your choices of elements and topic. It will be fine if some of the elements duplicate within a group. Just think about what you want to receive back as you make your element selections.
3. PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email address, and phone numbers. Email and phone numbers will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you.
4. Post your weekly status on the Progress thread - which will be posted after the slots are filled. You must check in 2 weeks prior to the due date. If I have not heard from you by then I will send you a pm or an email. I WILL ANGEL YOUR SPOT IF I DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU WITHIN TWO DAYS OF THE PM OR EMAIL.
5. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with ship info and received info.
6. Packing Instructions - use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label each bag with your name so we know who made each element. You‘ll have 5 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag for each group you are in - be sure to include your name, your DIS name and your group number. Include $4.05 for postage (or stamps if you don't want to send cash) to return your items. Delivery Confirmation is $0.50. Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these.
7. 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.
8. There will be 5 people per group. There will be a total of 4 or 5 groups.
9. HAVE FUN!!

I assumed slide mounts on each one, but what other element do you want? You can let me know later if you want to wait to decide.
about the restaurants!! That's our favorite thing to do when anticipating the trips is think about the restaurants!! Tell your DH I understand!!
