Future mix-up participants
(this is where I will list all participants, even if you are not participating in the current mix-up)
Money will be due by April 25th
I will be purchasing 12 plain canvas aprons and 'fabric paint' pens. I will decorate them with our 'Mixed-up theme' that you all will decide on in April posts. I will then put them into a box and we will begin mailing them to each participant priority mail. When you get the box of aprons, you will sign your DG name, and do whatever lil decoration you want to add to all 12 aprons. Put a self addressed label in the box (so I can send you back your Apron) and then mail it to the next person on the list. Once the box of aprons and labels's has travelled to all 12 participants, it will then be sent back to me (12 weeks later?) and I will mail an apron to each participant. The Aprons are approx $4 and the shipping (depending on who participates and us postal rates) is approx $5 to each DGer. I will be posting a total price after I purchase the Aprons. I am hoping to keep the cost at or below $10 per person. This will be a fun usable souvenier of our nutty group of swappers! :o) This swap will be limited to 12 participants and open to original members first before anyone else is allowed to participate. Please let me know if you will be participating so I can add your name to the list below.
This is a mixed sunflower seed swap. Sunflower seeds will be mailed to LorraineR (address is in address exchange) in a bubble envelope. Please include a return label addressed to you and at least 3 $.41 stamps. Lorraine will mix all the seeds together and divide them between participants and mail them back out to you by mid May. Get creative! there are red, yellow, orange, brown and cream colored sunflowers, even some white ones too! :o) Let me know if you are participating in the Sunflower trade and I will add your name to the participants list.
And remember... The Mighty Oak was just a lil nut...who stood it's ground!
