Check-In Dates:
Please verify your groups are correct, and send me your Name, DISname, address, phone number and email address. I have swapped with many of you before, so I have many addresses, but I may be missing an email or a phone number, so please send.

If you miss a check-in, I will PM/email you. If I do not hear from you 48 hours after that, your spots will be angeled. If you are going to be away for a check-in, let me know. For the March 1 check-in, please be specific with your progress, and list the groups you still need to finish and an anticipated mailing date (If you have not mailed already). I want to have a good sense that you will be able to accomplish your groups on time, or if we are going to need angels.
Packaging: Place your completed element in a Ziploc with your DISname, name and group number. Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size bag, and label with the same. Since I am running both the Paper Piecing and Flocking swaps concurrently, please also list which swap that bag is for [Flock or Paper Piecing (PP) ]
Postage: Here are the prices for Flat Rate Priority Mail Shipping. Envelope - $4.95, Small Box - $4.95 (this is a new item for 2009), Standard box – $10.35, Large - $13.95. You may send to me, by any method you choose, but I would prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. However, if you want me to send by a different method, we can work that out. I won’t require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER the swap due date. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.65, and a filled out slip. If you are in the Paper Piecing swap too, I will send everything back in one box, so make sure you send enough to cover postage for both swaps (regular flat rate should be fine, for most people)
DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.
Due Date: This swap is due March 7, 2009. Your package should be in the mail by February 28 if sending first class, March 3 if you are sending Priority. I intend to only wait one week for packages that have been delayed by our lovely postal system, before I swap out. If you mail, March 8 or later, you must send Priority and you must include DC so I can verify the shipment and keep tabs on its status. I know emergencies can happen, and those will be handled on a case by case basis. However, Murphy’s Law seems to go into effect quite regularly around here. It seems like the longer we wait to start our groups the greater the chances of something bad happening. I will have a hard time holding up the return for someone who has a majority of their work still to do, at a time when they should be focusing on whatever issue is causing the delay in the first place.
Elements: Your Paper piecing should be a minimum of 4" in one direction. These should be able to fit in an 8x8 book, so don't go any larger than that. Even Cricut paper piecings have variable levels of difficulty. If your piece is fairly simple (3 colors plus base) consider mounting your piece on a tag, matted shape, etc, use the shadow feature, etc.
Groups Sizes: Groups are 6 people except those listed below
A: Make 3
B: Make 4
C: Make 5
D: Make 5

This is my Tinkerbell for Group E:
Once she's sitting on the mushroom, the whole thing measures about 6 1/2 inches high.
