UPDATE: MARCH 25th.........This swap is now full. I will be mailing the box soon!
I am starting a 2nd round to the 12 X 12 patterned paper swap. This will be an easy swap, as you do not have to make anything! All you have to do is go through your patterned paper, and decide with what you are willing to part. I have done that already, and have come up with more than enough paper to do this swap! As discussed at the end of the first round, I donated over 1/2 of the paper that came back to me to a shelter at which I volunteer. I, myself, kept 23 pieces of paper, as I had started the original swap with 65. That left me with 100 pieces of paper with which to do this round. There is some really great 12 X 12 patterned paper to choose from in this round, from several different paper companies. I think we will all be able to find something we like.
So, this is how we will begin: After we have our list of participants, I will fill a medium sized flat rate box from the PO with 12 X 12 patterned paper protected by a plastic bag. I will include mailing labels for all the people in the swap inside the box in order of when they sign up. I will mail the box to the first person on my list. That person will remove the paper they wish to keep, and replace it with at least the same amount of paper they took out. They will then mail the box to the next person on the list.
Tracking Numbers must be used, posted on the thread, and PM'd to me. .
You may keep the box for three days, mailing the third day after the first day you receive it. If you cannot mail the box within this timeframe, please do not join this swap. It is just not fair to the other participants. I do, however, understand that there may be extenuating circumstances, so if something arises that keeps you from mailing in time, just PM me to explain, and I will let the next person on the list know.
If you are on the Flaker list, this is not the swap for you. If you are new to the Message Board, and want to join, WELCOME!!, and let me know that you are new. I will need some extra information from you to ensure your participation. So, to all that wish to join, YAY!, and follow the directions below:
1) Post on thread you want to join, then PM me your MB name, your real name, your address, and your e-mail address.
2) When you receive the box of paper, try to go through it immediately. Take out the paper you wish to keep, and add at least that amount back.
3) Please no torn, or ripped, or otherwise damaged paper. 12 X 12 patterned paper only. Please include paper comparible in quality and weight as what you take out.
4) Within 3 days, package remaining paper in included plastic bag/bags, and box up. Use included mailing address label to mail to next person on list.
5)
Get a Tracking Number, this protects you, and shows that you HAVE mailed the package, and allows the person receiving to track it.
6) If we are getting too much paper to fit in the box, please let me know. I have a large padded envelope I can mail to you that the paper will fit in, and that should last the remainder of the swap. If the box itself is damaged or looking a little worse for wear, please replace it with a new box from the Post Office. They are free.
7) Post that you have mailed the package, include the Tracking Number. Also, PM me the Tracking Number.
8)
Have fun!After the box makes it's way back to me, I will donate whatever is remaining to the same shelter, OR, should there be enough interest, I am willing to host one more round.
I WILL REPORT FLAKERS!! So, please just do not do that!
I will have sign ups until Fri., March. 29th, OR until we reach 12 participants, whichever comes first. I will then mail the box no later than Sat., March 30th. Thanks for joining this swap! Blessings, GG
