    My SP is definitely not closeby but not that far away either! She's going to be fun to shop for. Not a lot of info but enough to go on!

    Good morning! It's great to see everyone so enthusiastic for shopping right after the holidays. I have everything for my pal except for making her something but I have to first pull myself away from hand quilting a top my mother in law had. I just finished binding one of her quilts and have 5 more to quilt after this one not including all the tops I have.

    Everyone have a great day and have fun shopping and/or creating.

    I'm not quite understanding. If we get a secret pal on the 28th & send by the 30th.....where is time to read what they like & shop for that? Maybe I'm missing something, wouldn't be the 1st time:-)

    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:
    EMail Address:
    Address:
    Phone Number:
    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:
    Additional Information:
    Can you mail international?
    Favorite thing:
    Least favorite thing:

    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 26th of each month, and names will be paired on the 27th and sent out by the 28th.

    Packages need to be sent out by the 30th of January if you are in the United states and are sending to someone in the US. If you live international, or are sending to International, please send by the 20th. 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. Sorry to be hard nosed but it's not right and it's been happening a lot here lately and we will not be allowed to do secret swaps anymore.

    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 19 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 particpate 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 Patrice J.

    Thanks!
    Suzanne
    Merry Christmas Suzanne, Checking to see if I gave you all info? Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!! Hug's Shawn

    Have fun with your partner and let me know if you have the person you had last month.

    The packages need to be mailed no later than the 30th of January. You can go here http://www.quiltingboard.com/group_a...jsp?gracnum=97 and should be able to see your partners name and info.

    If this link doesn't work, go to the main page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and go to group activities and find January Secret Pal Swap.
