Christmas time's a coming SWAP...ANYTHING w/a tag.

[stampin-sunnychick]

I am such a procrastinator when it comes to making Christmas goodies...cards, gifts...etc. I end up finishing up the night before I go to whichever family event that is planned for the very next day. YEAH! Crazy I know...SO let's do a Christmas Swap that helps give me(us) a jump start on this Holiday Season.

SWAP IDEAS: there is no limit to your imagination but let's make it a duo creation. ANYTHING & a TAG (does not have to match)...IE: Card & a Tag, Bookmark & a Tag, Gift Card Holder & a Tag...you get the idea. For those that are not Tag Makers...an ATC will be accepted. Tags can be similar to a tiny little card if you so choose.

QUANTITY: this will depend on the amount of participants. I will let you know ASAP. If necessary we will break up into two groups. I really like 5-6 per group it just makes preparation much simplier for each of us.

VENDOR: Everything is welcome. Just use good quality products. PLEASE no flimsy cardstock.

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP: SEPTEMBER 15th

DUE DATE: OCTOBER 30th

MAILING INSTRUCTIONS: Please place your swap in a baggie or plastic wrap, for waterproof purposes. Please include enough postage + 1 stamp (which will be returned if not needed) to send your package back to you.

OTHER NOTES: COME JOIN US...Everyone is welcome. VIP: NO FLAKERS PLEASE!!! IF YOU HAVE any problems and can't fulfill the requirements PM me ASAP & I can help you work it out. Late is doable total flakeout...not cool!

THANKS SO MUCH!

[stampin-sunnychick]

:)

[Norma Kennedy]

O.k. Im gonna start on this this week. I just want to make sure I get it right.

I am doing 5 tags and 5 cards for 5 people ?

[stampin-sunnychick]

Girls we have six participating...so you will need to make six of each. I am playing along with this one...Thanks so much!

[stampin-sunnychick]

6 days left...is anyone besides Holly done yet?

(you go Holly!)

[Norma Kennedy]

eeekkk I completely forgot about this.

I will work on it on Tuesday and mail by Saturday.

[Barb]

Yikes! I think I miss read! I made only 5 of the things and I thought the tags were to be on the cards or whatever! I didn't make one for myself. Isn't 5 correct if you're not making one for yourself?

[stampin-sunnychick]

You should make six if you want to keep one for yourself...if not, 5 will work fine. That will just save me from sending yours back to you. I have rec'd Holly's...hopefully everyone else trickles in this week.

[melissab1872]

I can't believe I forgot all about this! I will get crackin'!! Where do I send them?? And, do they all have to be the same?

[Norma Kennedy]

Ok I almost done and Hubby said he will run out and get them mailed out in the morning for me .....:mickey2:


Tracy Ill need your addy.

[stampin-sunnychick]

Girls all the goodies have been mailed...please let me know when you receive them! You will love your little goodie boxes!

[melissab1872]

WOW! I just received my box!! You ladies are amazing!! EVERYTHING is adorable!!

[stampin-sunnychick]

Wow that was fast! I am so happy to hear that you liked everything...I honestly, didn't think anyone could dislike the goodies.

[melissab1872]

I feel like a dope though! I forgot to include my envelopes with the cards! Sorry ladies!! DUH!!

[Barb]

I didn't do the whole thing right :) I put the TAG on the thingie, instead of it being separate! sorry girls!

[stampin-sunnychick]

Barb,
It was your perception nothing wrong in that...I thought it looked great. Both items were included just joined together- which I thought was a fabulous project. Thank You!

Melissa,
Girl it's not like we don't have a bazillion envies laying around our creative spaces. No worries...

Thank You both for participating and for being patient with our participants (& me)! :)
