Posting tonight for all you early birds out there
IF you have already joined these swaps once, please allow those who missed them to sign up first.
Due date is December 3, 2007. That is when I need to receive your package. Mail by date is November 26, 2007, to make sure your package arrives to me. I will sort them the week of December 3rd, and send them back out by December 10. That is a FIRM deadline because of the holidays.
NOTE: I will ask you to check in every 2 weeks (by posting a check-in by date in the thread title). If I haven't heard from you by November 19, I will send a pm to you. If the pm is not answered within 2 days, I will have to angel your spot.
1. 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 kit. Youll have 6 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag. - be sure to include your name, your DIS name. On the larger Ziploc bag please put your mailing address on your bag and include return postage.
2. Mailing Instructions- Mail in Priority Mailer & include postage (stamps or cash) to return your items. Delivery Confirmation is $0.65.
Please dont send metered or click-it/ship-it postage some hostesses have had issues with these. On the outside of your box/envelope please include your DIS name and Swap name in the bottom corner!
3. PM me with your name and address if you havent swapped with me before. 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.
4. Most importantly HAVE FUN!! I know we all get worried about our stuff sometimes. I know everything will be GREAT! Just make something you would be proud to have in your own albums, and everyone will love it!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do not sign up for more than you can handle. This is a huge swap and a lot of time and effort on my part. If you sign up for every group and need to drop out, that is 18 spots I would need to angel. If your packages are not in my hot little hands before Dec 10. I will not wait, I cant!
Ok - here are the elements to choose from (if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it). If you have questions about any of these elements, you can look at the swap glossary link at the top of the swaps board, the swap photo gallery link at the top of the swaps board, or pm me! I'll be happy to help!!
Please, no hand lettering on any items. You may use computer fonts, rub-ons, stamps, die cut letters, etc. Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, 3D stickers (matted stickers are ok, too), clip art, or embossing. All elements should be double-matted and embellished unless otherwise noted!!

4 embellished squares--largest mat should be no larger than 2"
