Pass It Forward - COMPLETE

[AlexWyattMommy]

Pass It Forward Swap
Due October 2nd.
Do you have items from previous swaps that you know you just won’t get around to using? Then this is the swap you have been waiting for. Go through your already made items and pull out what you know you won’t use or have a future need for. Sort your items and put them in groups of 5 (five) points and put them in a baggie. See listing below for points value of each item. I am using TPCShauna’s established system. If I am missing an item, just let me know.
Here are the rules:
1. Each baggie must be worth no less than 5 points. These items must be Disney related. This is to ensure the most use possible for the recipient. Feel free to add extra items of other themes if you want to put in RAK.
2. Each baggie must be filled with useable items. No folded, crumpled, unglued work please. Yes, you may send items made from another board or ones you made for yourself if they meet the basic requirements of most of our swaps.
3. Each baggie does not have to have matching items, but it would be nice if you can.
4. No store bought items please.
5. Limit of 10 baggies each. (this will fit comfortably in a flat rate envelope)
6. Please label the outside of your baggie with your DISname prominently. This is so I don’t send you back the items you were giving away.
7. You will get back the same number of baggies you send in.
8. Please send $4.80 for a flat rate return envelope. Add $0.65 if you want Delivery Confirmation.
9.These are due to me by October 2nd. I will have them swapped and mailed back out by October 6th.
10. Please PM me with your DISname, real name, address, email & phone number. I will make the labels up ahead of time.

I'll join. Do we say what themes we want? Or is it luck of the draw. Doesn't matter either way and I certainly don't know what I want.

Luck of the draw.

Please add me. I'll have to go through what I have and see what I come up with. Do we need to tell you in advance how many baggies we are sending?

 

[Mickster]

Sweet. Thanks!

Nope.

I'll play.

Question your rules state that there are no store bought items however some of the points are for brads,eyelets, fibers etc. Do you mean no new store bought items and its ok to send items that we have received with our swaps or do you not really want anything that is store bought in which case you may want to update your list.

My bad. I just copied & pasted Shauna's list. Thanks.

No problem I just noticed it. Looks better now.

I went ahead and put you in. I'm sure you can find some things you won't need.

Updated to here.

We did do it once last year, so I plan on doing at least once a year.


The basement is completely empty except for what is on the built in shelves and back storage area. Not sure what we are going to do. We need to find a professional and have them evaluate the problem. So it's gonna just sit unused for a while. Can't stand the clutter with all the basement stuff upstairs, but what can I do? There just isn't space to put it and the kids use it, so I can't do offsite storage.

I was just going through my stuff and it's hard to pull things out to give away!!! I like it all and want to keep it even though I know I'll never use some of it. I'm a packrat and I have a hard time getting rid of stuff since I always think "well someday you might need that," but I'm forcing myself to not hold onto swap items that I know I can't use.

Now for my question. How many points are altered paperclips? I've looked at the list a few times and don't see it, but there's a chance it's there and I'm just not seeing it!

I'm a pack rat too. Not sure how much I will really part with.

I'm going to go with 0.5 points per paperclip. The swaps seemed to make 3 or 4 of them, but I don't want to go lower than 0.5. Too much math isn't necessary.

Thanks AWM!
