This is a swap for general pet themed items. Each swapper will create 2 elements from the list below per spot. Here is a link to last years' Pet Swap hosted by KatDisney - 2007 Pet Swap.
You are limited to signing up for 2 groups total if I have never swapped with you before. Otherwise, you may sign up for one spot in each category type on your first round of sign-ups. Once everyone has a chance to sign up for their chosen spots, I will open the remaining spots.
Important Dates:
Sign-ups close: 7/28/08
Mail Date: 8/25/08
Due Date: 9/2/08
Check-in Dates:
7/28
8/11
8/25 - Mail by date
9/2 - Due date
NOTE: I will ask you to check in every 2 weeks (by posting a check-in by date in the thread title). If you miss a check-in, I will PM you. If I haven't heard from you in 3 days, I will angel your spots. It is your responsibility to let me know beforehand if you will be gone for a check-in.
Packing and Labeling Instructions: Package your items individually in Ziploc bags and place all of your bags for each group in its own, gallon size Ziploc bag. Please don't use anything smaller than a gallon bag as your return pieces might be larger than those you send. Please be sure to package each group separately. Include your name, DIS name and group number on each larger bag.
Mailing Instructions: Write your DIS name and the name of the swap on the outside of your mailing container. If you are in 4 or more groups, please send $9.80 in cash/check for a flat rate box. If you are in 3 or fewer groups, send $4.85 in your choice of method (cash/check/stamp) for a flat rate envelope. If you want delivery confirmation, don't forget to send in the extra money for that as well as a completed DC slip. If you send cash, DC is free since I print labels online.
Please dont send metered or click-it/ship-it postage some hostesses have had issues with these.
Contact Info: PM me with your name, address, email address and phone number if you havent swapped with me before. I will only use the latter two in case of emergency but I MUST have a way to reach you outside of the boards. I will PM my contact info to everyone after the swap closes. 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 ASAP so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help as needed.
Last but not least, HAVE FUN! I know we all stress about our work and that is OK. The important thing to remember is that you just need to make something you would be proud to have in your own albums and everyone will love it. If you get stumped or have a question, anyone on here would be happy to help; all you have to do is ask.
