Update 10-29-12: TO MY EAST COAST SWAPPERS...I totally understand hurricane weather as I myself am originally from New Orleans. Therefore, for those of you who are involved in this storm, please know that your safety is more important than getting a frame in the mail. Just try to mail as soon as you possibly can after this storm passes. I know your partner will be totally understanding. Those of you who have a partner on the east coast, feel free to wait a couple of days before mailing so it doesn't get lost in the mail.

UPDATE 10/22/12: Ladies these are due to be mailed on November 2 for receipt by your partner no later than November 1. Also PLEASE POST PHOTOS when you receive your frame.

I haven't done one of these in almost a year...here's the link to one of my previous ones (photos toward end of thread): http://main.cricut.com/c...PLETED---NO-FLAKERS.aspx

With the holidays upon us, it's a great time to make one of these. Plus I should be settled into my new house by then.

Here’s the rules:

Mail date: November 2, 2012
Due Date: November 10, 2012
This will be a partner swap and you can have more than one partner. Please ask questions of your partner to get to know her and/or her style. I want this to be a fun, drama free swap.

**Purchase a picture frame (preferably the $1.00 ones from Michael’s or from a thrift store or wherever), just don’t go overboard on the cost of the frame and don’t go larger than one that holds a 5 x 7 photo.
**Use what you have in your stash to decorate the frame...I just don’t want anyone having to put a ton of money into altering a $1.00 frame.
**You can either leave the opening blank for a photo to be inserted or put a saying or something (you and your partner can decide how you want to do it).
**Delivery confirmation numbers must be sent to Hostess and Partner when ready to mail.
**You must post a photo of your frame when you receive it.

Here's a few questions to ask your partner:

1. What color(s) would you like your frame?
2. What style would you like your frame?
3. Do you want insert left open for photo or do you want a saying in the frame?
4. Would you be willing to send a photo to your partner to match colors with frame?

Please get to know your partner and their style. I want this to be a fun swap and everyone get what they like/want.
