June Secret Pal Swap - Sign-ups end May 31st at 8PM pst
 

This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can
choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner
every month, and the person you send to will be different than the person you
receive from. Failure to send you package after signing up will be cause to be banned from all future swaps. Please do not sign up if you cannot fulfill your obligation.

After receiving your Secret Pal’s details, go to work and put together a package with
something you think your pal would like. There is a $10.00 limit on this swap that does not
include what you have in your stash. Most swappers do not mind like-new stash items.
You will need to send ME (HAV4Boys) a PM when mailing and receiving. Also send a PM to your SP thanking them. This way I can keep my records straight.

Please take pictures and post in group as everyone likes to see what you get.

Packages need to be mailed out by June 15th, this is a Firm deadline. All International mailings must be mailed by June 10th FIRM. If you know that you cannot mail by that date, Please do not sign-up.

For international mailing it is very important that you mark your parcel as a 'Gift'. Usually on the Customs Declaration there's a box you can check. Also, the value should be $10 only (even if you send diamond necklace). The person receiving the package is liable for Import Duty, Tax and a Handling fee. This can cost the person receiving as much as $40.

Padded envelopes are much cheaper to send compared to small boxes. I'm not sure if
that’s true for every carrier or not.

You must have a phone # or email to sign up

If your pal does not receive her/his package within a reasonable time then I will need tracking information. If there is an exception on the mailing, you will need to inform me ASAP. No one enjoys not getting a package after they have sent one.

I'm in. Whew! Just made it under the deadline!

Hav4: You're rocking as a hostess :)

Pm coming your way

All the secret pals are out by 9:25 AM on June 1st. Whew.

Secret pal clue #1: So much mafia history in your town.

My secret pal’s city was once the capital of her state.

Okay, I don't believe Hav4 or Pamela have me.

I have someone I have mailed to before, but have never had her as a secret pal!

I have a secret pal with a foreign name. She enjoys surprises.

Good morning. I made it through working the election. I am a precinct officer and those 17 hour days are getting tougher. How is everyone?

The site is quiet. I mailed my package out to my SP today. Expected delivery in 3 days. Your not too far from me. One of my favorite foods comes from your state. I believe you have had me before, but I haven't had you. At least if my brain is thinking clearly on that. lol You don't have any fur babies. That's all the hints for today.

My secret pal has been sewing for more than half my life and seems to be quite addicted to it.

Well I'm for sure not catjo's pal of the month!

My gal Does have a fur baby. At least one!
She lives in a state with the "most photographed lighthouse in the nation"

Just a reminder to send me a PM when you send your secret pal package and when you receive your package. It would be greatly appreciated!

I mailed my swap package today! I have traded with this person before and my package is traveling far away.
A clue: My town is about 20 times higher above sea level tan yours!

Deborah

Just one more thing... I keep saying that and then I’ll get my SP package on its way. It doesn’t really have far to go and given where my SP lives, it’s no surprise that she’s the outdoorsy type.

Well I know I'm not pamela pal. I'm not much for outdoors anymore.
It shows my package to my pal has been delivered, but I haven't heard from her. Maybe she's been gone.

Reminder: Packages out by the 15th. Mine is waiting an item that will arrive on Wednesday, then it is on it's way West.

Hello Ladies sure do miss you all. Wanted to show you what I have been doing. Been able to get some sewing done. Here is a bag I made to carry my iPad and cords around with.

Also wanted to give everyone an update on my Quilt Diva, I almost have her complete just a few things I need to do first but here she is

I just received a wonderful package from Gaijin. A beautiful fairy panel, some wonder clips (can always use those), a kool snap pouch (that she made), a book (that I haven't read) by one of my favorite aurthors, (Lisa Gardner)some chocolates made in Japan. A large city fabric that has Lodon, Paris and Barcellona on a map ( this will probably the closest I will every get to these places), some super grunge fabric in the colors I love. I hope I didn't miss anything as the package was stuffed full. Deborah, thank you so much. BrendaK

i just love your quilt Diva Verna! Are those real earrings she is wearing?

sounds like a great package Brenda, you had me at ”fairy panel...”

Haven't had the chance to get to the post office, hoping tomorrow. Tight to the deadline for me this month, but I promise I am never late! :)

My person has a feedback score of less than 15.

No Pamela they are buttons. LOL
