Since this is a longer swap I want everyone to know that they need to keep in contact both with
the organizer, co-organizer, and their partner. try to post to the thread at least once a
week and please don’t leave your partner or myself hanging if we pm you!
Please make sure you post in this thread for updates as soon as you sign-up/think about signing up.
*I will leave accurate feedback regarding sending on time, meeting swap requirements, and having
good communication with organizer and partner. My definition of good communication is sending pm's
to both organizer, co-organizer, and partner when BOTH sending AND receiving, answering pm's from
organizer, co-organizer, and partner in a timely manner (within 2 days), and letting organizer and
partner know if you will be out of town or if you know you will be unable to communicate for a set
amount of time.
...
To keep this easy for me, since this is my first organized swap, please send PMs to me as followed.

Are you someone that really wants to have one of these themes crafted for you, or are you ok if your
partner does a little stalking to come up with other themes you might like?
Are you someone that is really helped by having a set list to craft from, or do you prefer to be a
little freer and do some research/stalking?
Do you have any allergies severe enough to prevent you from being partnered with someone?
(ie, if you are only a tiny bit allergic to cats like me, don’t put it down, but if someone
sending something from a house with a cat will make you sick, please list it)
Do you have allergens like pets (list specific animal please) or smoking in your house?
If we end up with an odd number of swappers, would you be willing to participate in a
round robin?
do you have a wists or some other weblist?
is there anything else you'd like your partner to know?
