This is so much fun it's where I spend all my Internet time. Thanks, Lori, for taking over. I'm sure you'll do wonderful and we are so greatful that you are willing to keep the fun going!

nurse bonnie 04-26-2011 07:15 PM

My sp'z package left last week for BC, Canada. I was so excited about this sp cuz she has the same sewing machine as I do. I just love mine and wouldn't trade it for anything. I use my friends Janome 11000 at her quilt shop, but I still prefer my 7700. OK now, that was 2 hints. Can you guess who was not forgotten?!?!

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.

You do need to send me a PM every month, as I cannot keep track very well of people signing up for more then 1 month. Please don't post a message on the thread about signing up, as I may not see it.

I would prefer that you resend your info, to make minor changes about holidays, personal preferences, etc.


If you would like to do it, please send me a pm with this information. If you are international, feel free to join!

if you are interested in joining, please send me a Private message with the following information. If I do not have a valid email or phone number, you can't participate.

Screen Name:
Real Name:
Address:
Address:
Favorite Colors:
Favorite Candy:
Your favorite notion/fabric line, etc:
Your least favorite color(s)
Least favorite candy
Least favorite notion/fabric line
Brand of sewing machine:
Is there anything you like to collect?
Besides quilting, what do you like to do?
Allergies:
Can you mail international?
Favorite thing:
Anything you would not like to receive:
What method are you currently using? (paper piecing, hand quilting ,FMQ, applique etc) :
Additional info (the more info you provide, the better):
email address:
phone number:


This form will be given to your secret pal. The more you put on there, the better she/he will be able to get things you'd like. Additional information may be helpful to them as well.

There is a 10 dollar budget for this swap. The 10 dollars can, or cannot include things from your stash. Postage isn't included in the ten dollars. The most important thing to remember with the budget is to have fun, but please do NOT spend more then $10.

If you want ideas on what to send, look at the previous swaps. Things that are always fun to get is fabric, notions, notepads, pens, postcards, handmade items, little things like that.

Sign ups will close the 2nd of May, and names will be paired on the 3rd and sent out.

Packages need to be sent out by the 16th of May. Send it as early as you'd like!

I really want to stress that if you sign up, please, PLEASE follow thru. It's a horrible feeling to not receive a package.

I will be keeping a list of people that don't follow thru.It is not right and it's been happening a lot here lately and we will not be allowed to do secret swaps anymore.

Something new this month has been added, due to misunderstandings and hurt feelings, once you get your package in the mail you will need to send a pm (private message) to the person who sent the package to you to acknowlege that you received it and to thank the sender. If you are new and do not know how to do this please contact me.

Please make sure that you put your real name and screen name inside the package so the person receiving the package knows who to thank.

1. you must ship your package using a method that provides tracking and delivery confirmation. You can purchase it at the post office or if you print postage, it is free for priority mail and 70 cents for all others.


2. if your pal does not receive her/his package within a reasonable time (14 days max for within the same country, 30 days for between countries) a public note that you failed to send must be added to the Group Activity matrix. if your pal is still empty handed after 14 more days Swap Coordinators are required to post negative feedback against your account. You will not be allowed to participate in any more Secret Pal swaps. Also, other coordinators will not allow you to participate in their swaps.

It's all about fun, so please have fun with it.

If you have questions, please pm me and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

This swap has been approved by PatriceJ.
Thanks!
Lori

Lori Peercy 04-26-2011 09:40 PM

I do not think that ANYONE can fill Suzannes Shoes! This is not as easy as it looks from our side of the screen lol! I am not complaining but I know now why Suzanne had to stop hosting the swap. We are up to 96 now!

Lori Peercy 04-26-2011 09:41 PM

I've gotton several messages saying my info is on here for everyone to read. I sent my message to a Lorie Peercy. I thought this was the right place to send it. Somehow it ended up in the wrong place. Would appreciate it if you would please remove it from where it shouldn't be. Not sure how to do that. I still want to take part in the swap. Thanks for your help.
