Shoebox Project Information:
This is the only mandatory part of the day which will take place first on our schedule
**Please have your shoebox completely prepared and ready to go when you arrive for the gathering. Unfortunately, I have had complaints in past years of people not having their shoebox projects ready for their table mates to work on, making this reminder necessary. If you don't arrive with a completed and ready to go shoebox project, your table mates are not obligated to allow you to do the project they have prepared. Being prepared means having all of the elements of your pre planned project prepared and ready for your table mates. 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*
• 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!
• 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 6 extra completed shoe box projects. You will use one as your sample at your table, two for hostess gifts and three for door prizes. Several people commented last year that they would like to bring a couple more prepared shoebox projects for door prizes, so this year we will have three complete sets of shoebox projects to use as door prizes.
• You may make other projects keeping in mind it should not take more than 10-12 minutes to complete.
• We estimate having approx. 8 people at each table and will give final numbers when we have a final count.
Swaps
Please follow the requirements below and if you are joining the SU only, pleaseuse only current SU products. We consider current SU product as product in anySU catalog that is current up until the date of the gathering. 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.
We will have 5 swaps:
1. Full card swap – SU only
2. Full card swap – NVR
3. 6x6 recipe swap
4. 3D Item swap
Swaps are not mandatory – you may participate in as few or as many as you would like. Please remember to showcase your best work using quality products. You must use at least two layers and one embellishment on each swap – thanks!!
Handmade Gift Exchange
There has been discussion in the past year or two regarding the handmade gift exchange. Several have asked if we could change to ANY handmade gift vs. a paper crafted gift. We are going to give trial run this year for ANY handmade gift and see how it goes. To clarify, you may still bring a paper crafted handmade gift to exchange if you choose, however any handmade gift is acceptable. We can discuss at the gathering what we would prefer in the future. For those wishing to participate, please bring a handmade gift with a value of approx. $5.00. Please be sure your gift is wrapped with your name so the person who receives it knows who to thank!!

We will do a Secret Sister again this year if there is interest. There will be information forms at the registration table for those wishing to participate.
We decided as a group last year that the minimum secret sister requirements are as follows:
-a card on her birthday -one card for each season (winter, spring, summer, fall) -a papercrafted gift with a $5 value at the reveal at next years gathering
I have attached the All About Me Secret Sister sheet below for you to fill out prior to the gathering if you would like. We will have them at the gathering as well, however some find it challenging to find the time to fill it out during our event as we are so busy crafting!
We want to keep it simple, so please feel free to do as much as you want, but above would be the minimum.
If you have a Secret Sister from last years gathering, please don't forget to bring her a paper crafted gift as stated above for our reveal!! __________________

If any of you would like to bring garage sale items, please feel free, but at your own risk. If there is enough of an interest and somebody would like to coordinate a schedule to monitor the items for sale, please let me know.__________________
