Supplies
Basic supply kit - scissors, wet and dry adhesives, bone folder, dimensionals
Shoebox Project Information:
This is the only mandatory part of the day which will take place on our schedule in the morning and afternoon.
All shoebox projects should have individual pre-made kits so participants can take the supplies in case they don't finish all swaps. For each kit, put all of the precut paper pieces, ribbons and embellishments needed to make your project into a ziplock style bag, an envelope to keep the finished project in or even a junk mail return envelope. It’s much quicker to have all of the pieces already sorted out and bagged than it is to have to dig through multiple bags of supplies looking for what you need. You will need an extra bag or envelope with extra pieces for “oopsies”.

FINAL COUNT ON SHOEBOXES IS 20 kits
**Please have your shoebox completely prepared and ready to go when you arrive for the gathering. Unfortunately, there have been complaints at past events of people not having their shoebox projects ready for their tablemates to work on, making this reminder necessary. If you don't arrive with a completed and ready to go shoebox project, your tablemates are not obligated to allow you to do the project they have prepared. Prepared means having all of the elements of your pre planned project prepared and ready for your tablemates. Tossing a bunch of random supplies on the table and instructing people to "create whatever they would like" is not acceptable. Please be considerate of others and extend the courtesy of having your shoebox project ready when you arrive. Thanks!!**
*Your shoebox project can be anything stamped*
FINAL COUNT ON SHOEBOXES IS 20 kits
• If you are making a card, we will make FULL cards using at least one embellishment (ribbon, brads, buttons, etc).• Quality CS is a MUST! This means your base cardstock should be strong enough to hold up your card for display.
• Please have all card pieces pre-cut.
• Please bring stamps or other items for your project
• Please include instructions (aka: recipes), tips and any other important information.
• Please bring four extra completed shoe box projects. You will use one as your sample at your table, two for hostess gifts and one for a door prize.
• You may make other projects keeping in mind it should not take more than 10-12 mins to complete.
We will be voting on the best shoebox project for a prize.
Swaps
Please note that if you sign up for a swap and do not fulfill your commitment, you will not receive any swaps from the others in your group. Check your counts before the day of the event to be sure you have the correct number.

Card candy is a sheet of embellishments you make. Card candy can be used to embellish cards, make tags, dress up scrapbook pages, etc.
How does it work? You make ONE SET of 5-6 (minimum) coordinated embellishments FOR EACH SWAPPER, adhere them to a sheet of acetate or waxed paper or parchment paper, bag them up and add a cute topper. That means, if there are 8 ladies in the swap, you will make 8 identical sets of at least 5-6 embellishments and package them. If there are 4 swappers, you make 4 sets, etc.
Card candy should have a theme or be coordinated, ie baby theme, birthday, season, etc. or a variety of color coordinated embellishments ie all shades of blue or black and white or pink and purple. You can be as creative as you want.
We ask that your card candy be dimensional (2-3 layer minimum) with some bling or buttons, brads, ribbon, beads, feathers.....whatever makes it just right. Make something you’d be happy to receive. See samples below.

Hi Joanne
Can the Holiday tags and the holiday recipes for the fall palooza be for any holiday or just Christmas? Thanks. I want to use my down time to start preparing ahead of time. Have a great night.
Have some openings for the Hamburg event for August 25th at the Hamburg fairgrounds. Class of 5 cards for 10.00. Please contact me direct since I didn't put it on the thread this year. Have the option of 4 swaps to participate in, my e-mail is [email protected].

I have a friend who can 2 years ago, Janet Hephner, she loved it and had such a good time. She is slated to have brain surgery in a few weeks so I;; sign her up. It would give her something to look forward to so much. She has 3 surgeries in a row but should be OK by October. If not, I'll cover for her and make her swaps too.

Have you contacted Elizabeth Von Han, she usually comes but was even late with signing up for Hamburg. I will put it in my up coming events at Hamburg on August 25th if that isn't to late.

Hi Joanne,
I believe I met you on Saturday at the Stamp and Scrap Fair. If I didn’t meet you, I met someone else who is a part of this group. I am very interested and excited to join you all on Oct. 19th. I did send you an email with all my details. This is my first time sending a message through a forum. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do. I’d love to have the opportunity to meet new people, get new ideas and share some of mine.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Pam and welcome. We spoke to and met many wonderful crafters at this event. We shared information with several gals and look forward to meeting you. We have a great group and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. See you at Palooza.
