New! Spring Swap! 5+1 Due 3/23

LauraJean · 12-23-2011, 08:52 AM

Winter just started officially this week, so it's time to look forward to spring, especially for those of us (including me) that are not big fans of ice, snow, and cold weather!. This is a spring swap, think flowers, pastels, bright colors, sunshine, green grass, Easter, Mothers Day..... etc. Anything springy is fine. I hope you will decide to join us! There are two categories listed, cards and tags!

Descriptions: Full Size Card- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Please use at least 2 layers & 1 embellishment! If you make a size different than this, please include an envie. Tags can be any size ~ but please avoid the tiny-tinys

Please create something you would like to receive!

Quantity: 5+1 You will not get one of your own back, so make an extra one for yourself! The +1 is for me, I plan on donating my +1's cards to RMH of Madison.

Vendor Products: NVR on all but PLEASE use very good quality cardstock (preferably SU/PTI/GKD).

Due Date: ]Wednesday, March 23rd - these will be returned within a week!

Mailing instructions: Place swap cards in a large baggie for waterproof purposes. Write your real name, SCS name and swap name on a piece of paper or the baggie for identification purposes.

Swap Return: Please include self-addressed stamped envelope. The amount of postage on your SASE should be the same amount used to mail to hostess. Please include 2 additional stamps to insure enough postage to return swaps. Additional postage will be returned if not used. [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]PLEASE SEND ONLY POSTAGE STAMPS, NO DATED STAMPS OR METERED MAIL-[/COLOR]-My Post Office will not take them. If you would rather use Priority mail, please include one $4.95 priority stamp and a self-addressed priority label. I will provide priority envelope. If you are mailing from outside the US, please include $5 US (or more for mutiple spots) to cover return postage, and I will return whatever is left to you.

How are you doing Laura Jean? Too bad the Packers are doing so terrible this year! Oh yeah, I forget. It's the Vikings that are doing so terrible and the Packers are doing great! LOL

LauraJean · 12-26-2011, 04:38 PM

Home from Christmas on my dad's side.......we did not exchange gifts so it was lots of chatter, laughing and eating!

It was a great afternoon!

I think they need more than that! They have like two good players - Jared Allen and Adrian Peterson and occasionally Percy Harvin. They won on Saturday but I didn't realize they were playing until someone told me at church that they won.

Well, I wasn't going mention they need 50 players. LOL

Good morning everyone!! Getting ready for a job interview then playing in my craft room

. Hope everyone has a great day!

mamaws29 · 12-27-2011, 06:13 AM

Good morning everyone. I am in the beauty shop today but I don't think I will be very busy. I hope to clean off my work station in the craft room and design my thank yous for all my Christmas Happy's. It amazed me this year who did and who did not remember their hairdresser!!! Seems the ones who can most afford it do the least, LOL, maybe that is why they have it and I don't!
