NEW and OPEN - 6x6 - Complete Holiday Dinner Swap - PRIZES

misti.stowell · 06-30-2010, 04:27 PM

Christmas is less than 6 months away and it is never too early to start planning the great holiday dinners we are all going to cook for our families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I thought it would be great to host a swap for a complete holiday dinner. Each swap group will get an entire holiday dinner centered around a holiday favorite main course. You can enter more than one spot but please do a different recipe for each one. Lets put on our creative hats and have some fun.

Rules:
*NVR - on anything, just use a quality cardstock please.
*Minimum of 2 layers
*Please use at least one embellishment - punches, ribbon, brads, eyelets...etc **I would say no glitter since this is for our guys!** lol
*Stamping required somewhere on your design
*Please sign the back of your card so we know who made it
*Recipes must be typed not hand written
*6x6 cards only

Each spot is for 5+1 (make 6 cards total). You may sign up for as many spots as you like, but each one is 5+1 and you must use a different recipe & design for each spot. As long as everyone follows through on their commitment you will receive an entire dinner meal back.

Due IN MY HANDS by September 1, 2010. It is very important to make sure your swaps are mailed out in plenty of time to be here the latest on it's due date. It's not fair to make the other swappers wait! If you sign up please honor your commitment. I completely understand that sometimes life gets in the way, just please let me know and I will try to work with you as much as possible. If you are unable to complete, please let me know asap to allow time to find ANGELS! FLAKERS WILL BE REPORTED!!!

Please make sure to include either a prepaid flat rate priority envelope, self addressed or a first class one prepaid with the same postage it cost to mail yours to me. If doing first class please include at least 2 extra stamps (returned if not needed) just in case. Also, PLEASE when you mail these please place in a ziplock baggie and include your real name and your splitcoast name. Again, If you don't put your name on it I don't know who it belongs to!

Please send your finished swaps to:

Maybe even three helpings. Can you imagine if I was doing dessert you could have the whole thing.

Great, thanks! Only a salad to go and the Pork centered dinner is finished. Any takers?

Jabauer · 07-28-2010, 04:36 PM

For group 1 can it be a vegetable dish instead of a salad? We don't usually have salad with our turkey dinner.

Wondering that too, since I signed up for a second spot and haven't heard back. Working on these cards this weekend.

misti.stowell · 08-13-2010, 09:16 AM

Ladies,

First, I apologzie for not being on here lately, I have had a family emergency that took me out of the loop fro a while. I am back and trying to catch up on work as well as "fun" emails and work. I will update the front page tonight when I get home from work.

Also, don't worry if folks don't fill the dinners, my plan is to make cards for that set so everyone gets full sets.

Thank you for your patience and I can't wait to see all your wonderful creations.

Misti
