I am going to start a new thread for winner takes all here...new year new beginningsLOL

We need to outline a few guidelines in order to keep things fun, fair and functioning. I am not particularly good at things like this and this is really a community thread so feel free to jump in and let everybody know if things need to be changed.

The RULES are simple. Each person that plays each week agrees to send the winner of the week the item of the week.

Here are the details....

Each week, the leader/hostess will pick an item of the week of modest value $5-$8. The item should be broad enough that it can easily be obtained and would be liked by people on the MB. Once the item of the week has been set, each person is responsible, through the thread, to let the hostess know that they want to play for that item.

Through out the week the leader/hostess will 1.) keep the thread bumped 2.) being sure that all the players are being kept track of 3.) any questions are answered 4.) let others know that she has received her bounty.

On Sunday evening the leader/hostess will randomly draw the winner of the week. The winner will PM her address info the the rest of the players so that they know where to send the item of the week. The winner will then be the leader/hostess for the next week.

All players should have their packages mailed to the winner within a week. If there is a reason that your item will not be mailed please communicate with the winner. Once your item is mailed be sure to let the winner know it is on its way. If you use a DC, included it. If not, let the winner know what method you have used.

All items should be unused and have a value of $5-$8. When I find great deals on things I love and will pick up to one for me and one or 2 or 3 to swap. I have a swap stash and often swap to the winner from that stash. Some ladies like to use this swap as a opportunity to go out and buy new things for themselves and the winner. Either method, or whatever method you want is great. But this is not a used item swap.

Because this swap moves quickly it is important to check the thread often and leave communication. We are all busy and are usually more than willing to cut each other slack if necessary. But when you do not communicate with the thread it looks bad and lets others draw their own conclusions. Just so all are aware flakers and late senders may be reported.

I think that is it lets play!!!

This is my favorite swap because I don't really have to do much other than hope I win!! Since, I was the last winner and we took a break for the holidays it is up to me to kick off the New Year!

So this week in a salute to the new year --- lets play for Sparkle.

Who else is playing!

Yes you send it to the winner. The hostess does not have to send to the winner but she can.

i have a question about hosting the thread. Do we keep the next weeek on this thread? Also if so is there a way to automaticly go to the post where you left off instead of searching for the newest post/game? i have never been able to figure out that. i know how to get to newest post but not post since last visit. Also when picking an item is there a size limit? like if i wanted to pick 4x6 paper stacks would that be and ok size and weight? not sure if we are not supose to pick something heavy or large casue of shipping?

The shipping cost is above and beyond the cost meant to be spent on the item ($5-8). You can buy whatever you want its totally up to you. The last page is a good place to start when trying to find a new contest, it doesnt normally go back more then a page or 2.... there is no way (that I know of) to save to see the weeks new item that we are playing for.

Hope the above info is good.

Also can we possible extend the amount to $10?? Just because I know how popular glimmer mist is and we have had it as a item a few times on the old thread, but here its $10..... so is that a possibility. Glimmer mist is worth the price bump!!!

The $5-$8 is a suggested amount just to provide some consistency. If you are asking if you can send Glimmer Mist of this week I would say..... generosity is always appreciated when it comes to RAK. Like I tell my kids .... you can do what ever you can afford. Glimmer Mist certainly sparkles!!

If you are asking if you can use glimmer mist as an item of the week.... you can suggest anything for an item. People would certainly know that GM is slightly more expensive than what we have outlined here but people would be aware in advance and could opt in OR opt out, use a coupon, buy the 1 oz bottles etc. So there could be ways to get into the $5-$8 range. The hostess would just have to through out the idea and see who wanted to play.

My personal challenge is to do this RAK on 2 stamps or less and in an envelope that I have in my office. I would rather put money into extra stuff than the postage (you know the whole putting it to the man thing). So I probably would not do paper or glimmer mist but that has more to do with the postage than the expense. MANY people disagree with me on this!

Glad to see so many ladies are starting the New Year out with us.

Who else want to play!

Just to make sure I get this completely. Sorry if you feel as though you are repeating yourself.

A winner will be randomly picked on Sunday. We have a week from that date (1/9/11) to mail the item(s)?

Then being the winner, the winner this week will be the host starting 1/10/11? She/he will pick a word to use....any word?

Usually it is not just a word but an item...buttons, ribbons, sparkly stuff, bling, inks, whatever...like that.

Hope you join in!

Craftymomma... I am not sure if this got answered or not. The next game is typically in this the same thread. I don't know how to get to the begining of the week. I usually just look for the winner announcment and it is a usually a few posts one way or the other from there. There is no size limit that I know of. You can send whatever size item you want. As far as deciding on an item, people will play for what they want to play for and are aware of the size when they join. I am always amazed at how many people think differently than I doBigGrin. What seems completely logical to me is complete chaos to my sister somethings. So if you are the hostess throw the item out there, you will get plenty of feed back either way and make your decision from there. This game is meant to be fun!!!
