If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new thread posted by n2scraplvr. She's posted an amazing collection of house blocks, some by pattern, some similar to what we're doing here. Great inspiration! Be forewarned - there are LOTS of pictures! Really fun to see.

Hi Rachel, are you the person I talk to with regard joining up with the Funky Neighborhood swap? If so I would like to know how it works for international members. Can you please let me know what I need to now, does that make sense? I have read the info at the begining, general rules etc but it does not mention members from overseas, I understand if it is too difficult with the money thing.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Gal! Hope you decide to join us!

I hope you join us too! How fun.

Oh and I've decided to make s'more tiki houses since I have enough of that background fabric for a set. They are pretty darned cute.

Hi Gal!

For international swappers, you can mail your sets to me, then I will swap your items, take them to the PO, weigh them, and tell you how much it will cost in US dollars to mail to you. You can pay this amount to me by paypal (plus the 4% fees paypal charges), and once the funds clear I will mail for you. Just bear in mind that you would want to mail by June 15th to ensure your blocks are here on time. If this is okay with you, just let me know and I will add you to the list!!

Cheers!
Rachel

Here is the block I made this morning, it will finish at 6x12.

Thank you so much, I shall check out Pay Pal, in the mean time I have been trying to put a house together, Mmmmmmm, not a easy as I thought it would be! I have been working on it this afternoon....... I wouldn't want to post anything I have created yet! Lol! Shall keep you posted, sure is a fun idea, shall keep working on it!

Gal

Haha that's great Athena! Love the watchdog.

They do take a little bit to work out, but once you get it, it's actually super easy!! As you can see from my post above, the roofs don't even have to be pointed!! Just have fun and feel free to post your progress here for some great tips, even if you don't end up joining we'd love to help!! :)
