Baby Theme Embellishment Box
This box will be filled with various embellishments based upon a baby theme (both boy and girl).
I will follow Deb's plan of action to get started. Participants may either mail me $5 worth of embellishments or $5 for me to go buy embellishments. Anyone who desired to send more than the minimum amount are more than welcome to.
All items will need to be sorted into baggies.
Embellishments can include:
buttons, eyelets, brads, snaps, charms, beads, fibers/ribbon/lace (1 yard pieces in individual baggies), label holders, safety pins, handmade tags and paper piecings, clips, 3D stickers (i.e. Jolee's, etc), letter tiles/charms/beads/etc, and sticker sheets (only full sheets)
Here are the rest of the details:
Sign up deadline: September 1
Sign up instructions: Please send me an e-mail (slmcbeth AT verizon DOT net) which includes your snail-mail address to let me know you are joining the list.
Deadline to have your donations to me: September 15. Please e-mail me when you have mailed out your contribution to get the box started.
The box will leave my house within three days of receiving the last contribution or September 19 (whichever comes first). I will try to work out the route so that the box will be sent from you to the next closest person to save postage. It might not always work out that way, but I will try my best.
When the box reaches you, take out what you want, but replace the items one-for-one. You do not have to replace an item with an identical item, but let's please try to be fair to the participants at the halfway point and beyond. If you see there are lots of a particular item such as stickers, please do not replace what you take out with that type of item. The last person will not be happy with an entire box of stickers.
When you receive the box and take out what you want, please post a note to the newsgroup letting everyone know you have the box and what you found in it you wanted to trade for. The box will need to leave your hands within one week of receiving it. Please, also e-mail the next person on the list to let them know when it will be heading their way.
A swapbox is sent out based upon the honor system. If you do not think you can send it on in a timely manner, please consider sitting it out. Realistically the box should travel from person to person every couple of weeks - giving one week in transit and one week in hand.
Eligibility: You must be an active member of RCS for 3 months.
I will e-mail my snail-mail address out to all participants after the sign-up deadline. If you join and want to send items sooner, my address in also on the RCS snail-mail list.
This is the first swapbox I have hosted. So if you have any suggestions or concerns, please let me know.
