NSSSS GUIDELINES

If you would like someone to share your scrapbooking accomplishments with personally.... someone to encourage you to do more pages, someone to exchange little gifts of encouragement with.... and best of all, someone from our wonderful newsgroup to get to know better... Join the Not So Secret Scrapbooking Sister (NSSSS) Swap.

The following guidelines have been established to help organize NSSSS and hopefully assuage hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

1. Commit to uplifting your NSSSS at least once each month during a three-month session with a surprise gift. Problems may arise from time to time. If you cannot meet this commitment, send your Not So Secret Scrapbook Sister Monitor (Monitor) e-mail. The important thing is to let your Monitor know as soon as possible. Hopefully, this will eliminate someone from having hurt feelings or being left out. Note: Feel free to send little surprises more often, but send something at least once a month. If after one month your NSSSS has not received/ heard anything from you, a friendly reminder will be sent to you. If no action is taken, the Monitor will assign a new NSSSS and your participation in this session will end.

1. Items must be sent via "Snail" mail. In other words, gifts must arrive at your NSSSS's home or mailing address. You may also send e-mail, postcards, greeting cards, virtual flowers real flowers and messages.

2. THANKS. PLEASE thank your NSSSS for EVERYTHING you receive. You may post these messages directly on the newsgroup. This is the only way she will know that you have received what she sent.

1. If at any time you wish to end your participation, notify your NSSSS and Monitor immediately.

2. If, after reading the guidelines, you would like to participate, please E-MAIL the following information to your Monitor: snipped-for-privacy@trilogentech.com Your Monitor will do her best to match you with another scrapbooker who shares your interests, scrapbooking level and is in the same gift range, however, the Monitor reserves the right to match scrapbookers without regard to criteria. If the match is not acceptable, contact Monitor as soon as possible.

1. Have fun and enjoy!

Each Sister will be paired with another scrapbooker (that's why we call it "Not So Secret" sisters).
