I hope you’re planning to join us at our next Central New York Shoebox Swap.
Here’s the info:

Mail your registration form and payment to Nancy Baker, address is on the form. There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else.
Here’s what’s planned.

PLEASE MAKE UP 14 KITS!!! PLUS 2 COMPLETED!
***********************************************
Mandatory Shoebox (Table) Project – Bring your idea and all the supplies (precut but not prestamped or prepunched) needed for EVERYONE to make your project the day of the event. Quality products are mandatory. There are several threads that discuss quality of swaps. Please read them if you are unsure. ALL the shoebox projects will be set out in the morning. You will proceed, in "round robin" fashion, to each of the projects and do ALL PROJECTS. YOU will move, YOUR PROJECT will not. GOOD DIRECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE POSTED ON YOUR SHOEBOX, you will not demo or be around for everyone to ask questions. When our final count is in, you will know how many kits to make. You will need to bring TWO extra completed shoebox projects (which includes a hostess thank you and one for your table so that everyone can follow it for directions). Participation in the table shoebox project is mandatory. This project will generally be a full card, with layers and embellishment(s) or a simple 3D item. Please provide any special adhesive that's needed. Make these something you’d be thrilled to get yourself. When you KNOW what your card or project is, please post a name for it here or send me a PM. We will all have a check off list the day of the event. Projects should take NO MORE THAN 10- 12 minutes to complete. If you are unsure, time someone else doing your project.
You WILL need 2 completed. One is for a sample at the table and one is for the hostess. I will try to complete all of the projects on the day of the event, but because of the hectic day may not be able to complete them all. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ...
Food – Please indicate on the registration sheet the food item you will bring to share. Please be specific; don’t just say “food”! Ideas: breakfast items, lunch items, including salads, desserts, and snacks. Water will be provided. We love to try your food specialties! We are ALWAYS in need of lunch type foods, please not ALL desserts! There is a refrigerator and a microwave. Crockpots are welcome too!!
“Garage Sale” – Bring your stamps and stamping supplies to sell or trade. Current Stampin’ Up! items must be offered for trade only; you can sell retired items. Sorry but we can’t be responsible for missing items so bring things at your own risk. There will be a LIMITED AMOUNT of table space for garage sale items. If you are bringing a lot to sell, you SHOULD bring your own table. There is no fee to sell/trade at this event. Please have items priced. It is annoying to have to ask.
Goodie Bags – for everyone! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will all have the same value with some variations in colors, etc. If you would like to donate to the goodie bags, please send me a private message. We'd be happy to include a coupon or flyer as well.
Gift Swap – For now … skipping the gift swap.
PLEASE consider donating a door prize. It would be lovely if we had enough for everyone.
Other Stuff – Please bring your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can’t stamp without, like: bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
NAMETAGS are helpful, but not mandatory.
SHARE THIS EVENT WITH A NEWBIE OR FRIEND. ALL ARE WELCOME.
Complete the registration form and forward with your $25 payment by May 3rd
All funds collected will be spent on the event, for the room, drinks/snacks, CHOCOLATE, and paper products etc. Your registration is complete when your payment is received. If you have any questions, please ask!
************ CONTEST ... CONTEST *************
THERE WILL ALSO BE A "BEST OF THE SHOEBOXES" AWARD.
Everyone will get one vote to choose your favorite shoebox project.
There will be a small prize for the winner.

OK - even though June 7th is our anniversary, I got the OK from hubby to attend. Yay!!!
I will let you know about food & swaps once I give it more thought.
I can't commit to June right now. I think that month is going to be nutso for me with Janneke graduating and family members inviting themselves over. I fully expect Chris to be in the Netherlands during all this chaos, because that would fit in with the scenario.

Hi Nancy, Let me know if you find a registration and check from me when you get back home. I'm almost positive I sent it already, but as I look back in my checkbook, I can't find the check #, so I might not have sent it yet. I have another registration and check ready to go, so let me know and I'll pop it in the mail by Monday so you get it in plenty of time. Keeping track of 5 adults over 80 years old, is keeping me very busy, in addition to working full time, 2 stamp clubs, 2 grandchildren, tax season, etc. Can't wait to spend a fun day with all of you!!
Hi Nancy - hope you had safe travels back home! I just venmo'd payment. You can sign me up for the No Sentiment swap. And I'll update later w/ my food choice.

I believe I'm updated until here. Lots of missing swaps and food and some payments.
I leave in 2 hours for 6,weeks. Please update everything here when possibly. Anything that gets mailed will be checked in on or about May 23rd ... well after swap closing date. I'm not so much concerned about payments, feel free to mail them, but swaps and food will NEED to be communicated here or email.
Can't wait to see everyone, it's been TOO long!
