Disney Themed Pass It Forward Swap
This is swap is open. The dates for sign ups are Friday August 5th running until Wed. August 10th. Due date would be Friday Sept. 2nd. You do not make anything for this swap! You only need to sit down and sort through your swap stash. Because this swap is about trading items previously made here by our family of Dis board swappers, it is not open to newbies.
Do you have Disney themed items from previous DIS swaps that you know you just wont get around to using? Do you have duplicates that are beautifully made, but you just don't need that many? Then this is the swap you have been waiting for. Go through your already made items and pull out what you know you wont use or have a future need for. Sort your items and put them in groups of at least 5 (five) points and put them in a baggie. See listing below for points value of each item. I am using an established point 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. If you only need a few more things to fill a baggie, it's okay to add mats or tags that are not "Disney" related. Feel free to add extra items of other themes if you want to put in a little love and random acts of kindness.
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 our swaps.
3. Each baggie does not have to have coordinating items inside, but it would be nice if you can. Baggies grouped by theme or park are nice if you can.
4. No store bought items please. Only handmade swap pieces allowed.
5. Limit of 10 baggies per swapper.
6. Please label the outside of ALL of your baggies with your DISname prominently. This is so I dont send you back the items you were trading away.
7. You will get back the same number of baggies you send in.
8. Please send enough postage:
For a small flat rate envelope $5.20 that generally holds 5 baggies or less.
6 or more baggies will need $10.95 for a flat rate medium box return postage. Add $0.70 if you want Delivery Confirmation. Last yr. some swappers sent huge baggies (ranging from 15-60 points!!) stuffed with items and most people didn't send me enough postage to handle the return packages because they were not expecting to get back that much. If you plan to send stuffed baggies, send enough postage to get stuffed baggies back. If you send me alot, I'll try to give you bags back that are stuffed with alot.
9.These are due to me by Friday Sept. 2nd. I will have them swapped and mailed back out quickly.
10. Please PM me with your DISname, real name, address, email & phone number after sign ups.
