Swap Question

[GrammieMame]

I'm new to this board and am an avid scrapbooker and Disney goer. I just read about the swaps and wonder how the final products are sent to the various people involved in the swap. Does the coordinator get everyone's address and be responsible to send to everyone. Does each person get everyone else's address and be responsible for the mailing to each? Some of the stuff must be pretty fragile. How do you mail paper piecings, borders, etc. without them getting messed up?

Hello and welcome to this board!!
Swapping is a lot of fun-once you start you will be hooked!
The hostess is responsible for setting out details of the swap-what is to be made and by when and how many. Everyone sends there contribution into the hostess-they also include a self adressed return envelope.Once everyone has sent in their items the hostess "swaps" everything out-pops in the return envelope and sends it back to you. So if you are in a swap with 10 people, each of them will make 10 of one item,since eveyone is doing a different item you will send in 10 of the same and get back 10 different things! Clear as mud hey!

I have added the following link which does a very good job of explaining swapping!

Let us know if you have and other questions!

Thanks! This sounds like lots of fun. I have pictures from 2 major Disney trips (with grandchildren), plus about 6 smaller "grown-up" trips. I have been accumulating Disney "stuff" for about 3 years, but am so bogged down with current non-Disney pictures that I just can't seem to get started. I love this site. It will inspire me to get going.
