Shoebox Project Information:

All shoeboxes should be Fall/Winter Holiday Themed.

This is the only mandatory part of the day which will take place on our schedule in the morning and afternoon.

**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*

� 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 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 estimate having approx. 5 -6 people at each table and will give final numbers when we have a final count.

Hi Joanne:

Thanks!

one more
 

Add celeste chase please

just a thought, any way since we are just doing a limited amount of people, and since it is so far away, how about increasing the amount of shoe boxes like they do in Syracuse. I don't mind helping out new stampers. We do 20 in Syracuse and have 5 swaps, Since you are doing only 4 swaps??? just a thought? In Illion, we did 25 in one day.

Hi, Becky.
Joanne and I have been talking about pushing the numbers a bit since we have had so many requests. There could also be some additions to the swaps. Keep checking (better yet be sure you subscribe to the thread and accept emails) for further info.
Who says its so far away?!?! LOL. It's close for me.
Beth

Thanks Beth, 4 swaps is fine with me since Syracuse is Nov. 7th and Rochester is just before you. I will keep watching on the thread. Have a nice Sunday. Loved your gift exchange yesterday :)

I hope I put down on my registration which swaps I'm doing. I'm doing all four-NVR, SU only, 3D, & Gift tags.

Thanks!
TiggyPince aka Linda Churchill :)

hi joaane.
 

I almost forgot about this event!!!! Put me down for su only and nvr swaps.
If u need any help,let me know.

Also, i will get a few donations,too!!

Are you still limiting it to 25 as I want to start on my projects? I see there are 28 names now but is it still the first 25 that pay? How do you subscribe to the thread and accept emails? I just always check back here once a week but is there an easier way? Thanks

I see you have people marked as paid CH. I thought you wanted money orders?
