Card Swap Details
• This is a full card swap.
• Cards should be a minimum of 2 layers of card stock and must include an embellishment.
• You will need to supply all materials necessary for your card - this includes card stock {cut to your cards size}, stamps, inks, embellishments, etc….
• Please use good quality materials.
• Put all the pieces necessary for the card into individual plastic baggies for each participant.
• Cards should be able to be completed in 10-15 minutes. If your card has many steps and requires more time, you may want to pre-stamp or preassemble some items for the other stampers to ensure everyone can finish all cards before the end of the day.
• If your card requires special instructions, please include those in each baggie.
• Include a few extra cardstock pieces/embellishments in case of mistakes.
• Bring a basic supply kit. This should include scissors, bone folder, adhesive, pop dots, paper cutter and anything else necessary to make your projects easy for you. Also bring something to carry your finished cards in.
• You need to bring enough supplies for each person attending. Final count will be posted October 24, 2010.
• Stamping will begin at 9 a.m. You may arrive at 8:30 a.m. to set up your card supplies (and garage sale items).
• The swap ends at 4 p.m. Since people stamp at different speeds, you will not be able to leave until everyone is done stamping. Stamping will end no later than 4 p.m.
• Cost is $15 per person.

Garage Sale Details
• Participating as a seller in the garage sale is optional and no additional cost (for those participating in the shoebox swap). There are only 16 garage sale seller slots available.

• Each seller will be limited to half of an 8 foot table (4 foot per seller). Please plan accordingly.

What's there to plan just make a card! lol

[tschristy]

I have updated the list of attendees, including who has paid.

Only 4 weeks until the swap!

We are filling up. Two weeks left to sign up.

[tschristy]

There are only 7 spaces left in the shoebox swap!

[SherryLL]

My check went postal today you should have it tomorrow.

[tschristy]

Thanks Sherry. I received more payments and registration forms today and updated the list.

[Forest Ranger]

I just found you... wish I could come. Unfortunately I'll be out of state helping my parents, since my dad is having surgery on Nov. 3.

I hope you'll do this again in the future and that I'll be able to attend.

[tschristy]

What a great response! There are 28 people participating in the shoebox swap. Please prepare kits for 28 people (this includes you).

There are 14 people who will have tables at the garage sale. I will be advertising in the local papers and also on Craig’s list. Hopefully we will have a good turnout for the sale.

You can begin setting up your shoebox swaps and garage sale items at 8:30 a.m. Please do not arrive any earlier than this as the room will not be set up and ready to go. We will begin stamping at 9 a.m. The shoebox swap will end at 4 p.m.

All events will be held in the Conference Center of LaQuinta Inn and Suites, 3303 East Kimberly Road, Davenport, IA. The conference center entrance is directly across from the hotel lobby (under the overhang). You do NOT need to enter the hotel.

If you haven’t sent payment and/or your registration form, please do so ASAP.

Looking forward to a fun day of stamping!

[tschristy]

There is less than a week until the shoebox swap/garage sale/card buffet. Hopefully everyone is designing, cutting and bagging all of their supplies and/or pricing their garage sale items.

I just wanted to send a quick email to let you know that the pop selections have changed. I will have the following beverages available:

water
Diet 7-UP
Diet Dr. Pepper
Diet Sunkist
Diet A & W
Diet Rite
Sunkist
7-UP
Dr. Pepper

So, if you are that person that just has to have her Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi or any other drink not listed, you may want to bring your own. I will also not be providing coffee so if you want that, you will need to bring your own!

See everyone soon!

Remember - enter at the door under the overhang directly into the conference center. You do NOT need to go into the hotel lobby.

Thanks.

[DELSE]

[SherryLL]

[wellstamping]

It looks like everyone had a good time. Wish I could have gone, but ended up in FL for a funeral. Hopefully, I'll be able to make the next one.

By the way, any talk of the next one?????

[Peg's]

Darn. Just saw this. I would have loved to come. I'm in the Quad Cities so this is right in my area.

[SherryLL]

Keep watch there will be more and they are all fairly close to you

[Forest Ranger]

When new shoebox swaps are scheduled in the Quad Cities, I'd love to hear about them. Will the news be posted in this thread? Or where should I be watching???

[wellstamping]
