Description:
I've had several requests from newbies about joining the other round of this swap. This version is a FAST turnaround and smaller than the other. It's designed so new people can get ratings quickly. This In the Garden swap is all about things found in a garden. Examples include but aren't limited to, flowers, vines, gazebo, trellis, ladybugs, gardening gloves, etc. The swap is international. You'll have two partners. Pick any two things (any combination) from the list below and send to your partners. You'll be making up two packages, with two items to each person. They can be the same or different. Each package should contain a note introducing yourself to your partners and then any two of the following: a) a rubber stamp (mounted or unmounted) b) a notepad or journal c) 2 bookmarks (either storebought or handmade) d) 2 ATCs e) 10 stamped images f) 2 note cards with envelopes g) a package of buttons or embellishments h) 2-3 yards of patterned ribbon i) a surprise of your choosing Remember, the theme is In the Garden. Interpret as you wish. Dollar amount up to you. Storebought items should be new. Send packages you'd be thrilled to receive. Since the swap is themed, you don't have to wait to get your partners. You can start gathering and/or making your items now. This swap is open to unrated newbies, and anyone with a rating of 4.0 or higher. No 'no sends' allowed. ALL participants must have a completed profile. With the quick turnaround, you should be able to be rated by May 12.

Hi all: Welcome to this mini version of In the Garden. We'll be swapping fast so new people can get rated.

Joy to you all!

I have not gotten my swap partners yet and it is May 1. Who should I talk to about this?

Artistic 04/30/2007 #

Hi there! It's 2:10 a.m. EST on May 1, and the system apparently hasn't updated itself yet (I'm not sure what time zone it was created in -- apparently not East Coast USA). I logged on to start the partner assigning, but that option isn't available to me yet. I'll check back about midday.

Until later...
