hello there & welcome to the AUGUST
A5 goodybag swap
.
the theme is........... ONE FOR THE BOYS !!!
CHOSEN BY 62% OF THE VOTING POLE..
so the bag will be set on a theme of ANYTHING MALE ORIENTATED !!!
Make your bag up to include colours male coloured or themed papers, card, male toppers, images, decoupage, buttons, ribbon, charms, die cuts, brads, gems, card candy, feathers..etc etc etc if its suitable for a boy shot it in !!.... because many people can have similar items.. see if there is anything you have that might be of the unusual to add to your bag!! like fancy ribbon for example or an unusual topper. dont forget there are lil boys as well as grown men so cutsey stuff can be included too... this might help..
sports
cars and boats and trains and planes
computers and gaming
teddies
baby boy
teenage boy stuff
animals
military
ohh lala!!
musical instruments
travel
gardening
steampunk
soo... the destructions as usual....
A goody bag example....
The goody bag is made up into a clear plastic A5 card bag (or a food bag if you dont have any card bags) add contents to whatever matches the given theme. If you havent a lot that matches the theme pad it out with things that might match up with what you DO have x The amount you put in is up to you but remember to always give what you would like to recieve,,, also if you give LOTS please dont expect that you will get the same amount back xx (i know some of us are very generous x)
some swappers include a card to their partner as well as the bag - this is completely your choice to do so and not required (but nice xx)
i always follow the motto of
"give what you would like to recieve.."
NEWSFLASH !!!
can i say ladies that if you are struggling to make up a decent pack out of themed items just shove a few other bits in to pad it out...
always give what you would like to recieve -
imagine you are opening the packet you are giving!!
would you like this pack???
DO YOU THINK YOUVE PUT ENOUGH IN IT?? xxxxxx
look at what others send you.. is your bag as good???
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE UNABLE TO JOIN IN THE SWAP BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THEMED ITEMS IN YOUR STASH (ESPECIALLY WITH MORE SPECIALISED THEMES) PLEASE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE YOU MIGHT STILL BE ABLE TO JOIN IN BY DOING A SUPRISE BAG SWAP....
" EVERYONE PLEASE READ- TERM AND CONDITIONS OF SWAP!!!!"
Add your name below if you want to join in the swap
(ONLY ADD YOUR NAME IF YOU WISH TO COMMIT YOURSELF TO THE SWAP)
IF SOMETHING COMES UP AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMMIT PLEASE pm ME SO YOUR NAME CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST.
a partners list will be posted in a week or so when you find out your partner, pm them to swap addies and away you go xxxx
Please try to post your bag to your partner within a week or so of swapping or let your partner know if you will have any delays - IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT TO SEND A MESSAGE.
Please use the partners/thank you thread to confirm you have contacted your partner to swap addresses, then again to confirm posting and again on reciept and completion of your swap.
PLEASE HONOUR YOUR DESISION TO JOIN
once you have had your names paired with a partner as the swap is then between yourselves.
THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF PEOPLE LEFT DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE PARTNERS HAVE NOT RESPONDED. Although this is a rare occurance it DOES happen. If your partner does not hear from you expect to be contacted via PM with a reminder... if you do not respond to this and do not complete your swap you will be excluded from any futher swaps and your name passed to other swap hosts on the forum. this unfortunate action is to protect the other swap members who swap on good faith.
PLEASE DONT DISSAPOINT YOUR PARTNER..
please ensure that when you post your goody bags to your partner you use correct postage by having your bags correctly weighed before posting
xxx
please note - due to many 'newbie' people adding their name to swaps and then not responding to partners AGAIN - i am unfortunately again having to suspend newbies from joining unless they have an established profile with proof of their crafting. By the term 'Newbies' I mean people new to the forum who have just started posting- not new swappers. This is to protect those ladies who enter the swap on faith that their partners will honour their parts in the swap and to keep it fair to all...... if newbies ask to join i will make a decision based on those that know them personally and can vouch for them (so if you are new and want to join and someine els on the site knows you pls let me know who it is) or what can be seen in their profiles.
any questions please dont hesitate to PM me xxxx
