This swap is for anyone who would love to send and receive some cookies in the mail. Actually, anything that you can bake or make that will arrive fresh is encouraged. Brownies, fudge, candy, truffles, bark...as long as it is yummy and will stand up to shipping you can send it.
SWAP REQUIREMENTSWe will be swapping 2 dozen home made cookies, the recipe(s) and one small bought or crafted item.
You can choose to send as many different kinds of cookies as you like. Bar cookies such as brownies and candies such as fudge or caramels are also welcome. Just make sure that they are able to withstand shipping. The cookies must arrive fresh and in tact.
Don’t forget the recipes! Please include the recipe for each type of treat you are sending. You will be able to specify what size (if any) recipe cards you would like.
The small item should be cooking/baking or kitchen related. As a guideline, Craftster says a small item takes less than 2 hours to make or costs under $10 to buy. Some ideas are recipe books, dishcloths/towels, measuring cups, spatulas, wooden spoons, oven mitts etc…You will be able to specify your likes and dislikes in the questionnaire.
SHIPPING*Please put lots of care into how your cookies are shipped. We don't want our partners to receive a box of crumbs (unless you say so in your questionnaire
).
Here is a link with some information on how to mail cookies safely. If you have any other shipping suggestions please share them in this thread.
*Ideally, the cookies should be shipped Priority Mail so they remain as fresh as possible. Lets try and keep shipping times under one week. This can be discussed between partners. I would also like to try to keep shipping within our own countries.
*The last few cookie swaps have included mostly U.S. and Canadian swappers. Anyone outside of North America you are more than welcome and are encouraged to join this swap. We will do our best to find appropriate swap partners for you.
*
Take Note: If your partner receives a box full of crumbs and it is obvious that the cookies were not properly packaged you will be required to resend.COMMUNICATIONPlease let
me and your partner know when:
1. You have shipped. Include your DC# or equivalent tracking # in the PM.
2. You have received.
3. You will be late. Have respect.
*This will be a really quick swap but while you are waiting for your partners and cookies to arrive you can always share your excitement and anxiousness in this thread.
FEEDBACKI will give you
positive feedback when your partner has received the:
1. Properly stored and shipped cookies,
2. recipes &
3. one small extra.
*Please do not join this swap if you are unable to ship by the send date of August 29 2011. If something does arise and you are unable to send by that date you must let both me and your partner know.
*You will have until 11:00 pm CST on August 29 2011 to communicate your shipping status to both me and your partner. Failure to do so will result in negative feedback.
*Temporary negative feedback will be given on September 12 2011 (or 2 weeks past your communicated late shipping date) if your package has not arrived. This is per craftster swap rules.
