All right - the more the merrier! Be sure to check out the CURDS Get Together for October in Appleton - log cabin, Archivers, Atlas Coffee Mill, maybe some classes, maybe some swaps - YES, now I can't wait for the summer to pass by!
I'm so excited for Hartford now that I've been trying to think of what I want to do for my optional swaps! Diane and Robyn you Swapin' Goddesses if you hear of anything between now and August let me know. I still want to sign up for the one in Milwaukee too. This is very addictive!
BIG HUGS!!
Mel
When is the one in Milwaukee?? Is there a thread for it?
You make one card up completely as your sample. Usually with a Shoe Box Swap you make kits (baggie with all the paper and embellishment components for your card for the number of participants that will be making the card, and Complete cards for the number of participants that will just take your completed card. All this is put into a box, along with the stamps, ink pads, punches, scissors, special glue, scissors, stamp cleaning pad or baby wipes, etc. that will be required to complete the card. A few weeks before the event you'll find out how many complete and how many kits you will need.
For yourself, bring a pair of scissors and your favorite adhesive to put the cards together with.
When you arrive, you are given a station to set up your Shoe Box at. When everyone is set up you pick a spot of a card you need to make and put it together. When done with that one, you move to another one that you have to make, until you have made all the cards you are supposed to make. Before, during or after, you can go and collect one completed card from each of the stations that you aren't supposed to make the card.
During all this, you visit, eat, and have fun.
Also be sure that your project matches the criteria the hostess has in Post #1.
It's really not as difficult as it sounds, and we'll help with your questions. After you attend your first one, you'll figure everything out.
Hope to see you at the event.

Thanks for your ?s. I always feel if one person has a ? then others probably do too. Markers, chalks, ink, etc. anything used to "decorate" the card is supplied by the person that "owns" the card. Robyn did a great job explaining so thank you very much Robyn. If you have any more ?s please ask. We want all particpants or interested peeps feel welcome and not scared to participate.
Time is really going fast so I hope those of you interested in coming are getting excited. Anyone that is interested in coming, I hope you are filling out your registration forms as we speak lol. We want this to be exciting and fun for all levels of talent. If this is anyones first shoebox please don't be afraid. This is our first time hosting an event too. But this will be a great time. Hope to hear from all of you soon.
Just in to do a bump job and small update. I have started to pick up door prizes so you will have alot a nice options and great things to choose from. I am happy to see that we have more interest but just waiting to get their registrations in the mail.

Awesome! Can't wait to have fun. Wow, your idea already. You're way ahead of me lol. Someday I won't wait until the night before lol. I hope you friend can come but if not I totally understand. I wish I could attend some of the "curds" outings but when you work 2 jobs things don't always work out. As far as the lottery, it is a WOW item that you make or alter. Some examples are paint cans, boxes, frames, or anything that you might give as a gift to someone. It can also be a group of things in a basket. I have seen so many different items and maybe some1 else in this thread can give some better ideas. This item or group of items should be a min. of $10. You supplie an item you get one in return. Just like an exchange. Any more ? let me know.
Sending in registrations for my friend and me today! I have another who might come too. We're leaving from Brookfield and will probably have room in the van if anyone wants to carpool...
Yes there is gonna be a rummage for anyone interested in participating just bring the items marked with your name or initials so people can locate you when they are interestes in a purchase.
The check in my name is fine. I live at the address but we live 2 houses away from each other so it would get to either 1 of us since our postman knows us and family. Thanks for keeping us posted and I will let you know when I receive your reg.

I hope that I can go! I am still waiting to see if the dates will work out. I remember my first shoebox swap! I agonized over it to make sure I was bringing a WOW that all would like... I hope they did!
I'm so glad I finally checked in on SCS!!! It's been a while! I am going to check my calendar and also with my other gal pals to see if I can come! Hope you all are doing well! Shoebox date is set for October 17th. Preferred registrations will go out at the end of July so watch your email ladies for your personal invite from yours truly! Hope you are having a FABULOUS summer!!
Robin, I hope this day would work for you. You still have about a month to decide. We are wanting every1 to come and have tons of fun. If this time does 't work for you mayb our next shoebox would work for you. I would be nice to have a couple set every year so that we always know when to see every1.
Carrie!!! Wow how exciting is it to see you. Tiff and I are looking so forward to Oct. You will hopefully have it on a day I can come. I work one wkend a month and it always seems that things I want to do land up on that wkend. There seems to be ppl that are interested in checking out your shoebox that have not participated b4. Keep us all posted and talk to you soon.
Ok ladies, we've been shopping. We have some nice things that we think you'll be happy with for prizes. I hope to have some more registrations in the mail soon since we are down to less then a month for the deadline. Time is creepin up way too fast.
