Coloriffic OCTOBER 2007

October is one funky month! We're throwing caution to the wind and we're gonna mix orange with blue, any shade of blue but go for pumpkin orange!

WHO: you and whomever else who is apart of the flickr coloriffic swaporama group

WHAT: a monthly color themed handmade swap to a “secret" person. (no peeking!)

WHERE: all over the world

WHY: because it is fun!

WHEN: You can sign up now betwen September 1st and Septembert 5. Packages are to be sent between September 25 and October 5. NOT sooner and NOT later.

HOW: to play along you must first be a member of the coloriffic group. this swap is a password only swap. to get the password, E-MAIL jek, genny, teresa or julie k. To receive the password, you MUST include the following in your email. jek can be reached at jekinthebox AT gmail DOT com...

subject line must read: OCTOBER swap. Include a link to your flickr page, yer swap-bot page and at least one of the GET TO KNOW ME topics in the group pool. OR, you can add those links to yer swap-bot profile page and simply email an admin the link to yer profile. If your email does not include appropriate links you will NOT be given the password and we will NOT send you a correction email. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THE PASSWORD. this would not be fair to those who follow the directions.

does all that up there help?

COLORIFFIC SWAP-O-RAMA IS A MEMBERS ONLY SWAP

DON’T FORGET TO STICK YER FLICKR NAME SOMEWHERE ON YOUR SWAP-BOT PROFILE (no flickr name, no password!)

that way, the person who is sending to you will be able to spy and see what yer likes & dislikes are. also, visit the group pool over on flickr and add your two cents to any one of the GET TO KNOW ME topics. you can find out fabulous info on the person you are sending to and you can give us all a clue as to what makes YOU tick.

i think that covers all the bases except of course what type of package to send. there are 5 rules for a spiffy coloriffic package...

1. items must reflect the color theme of the month
2. there must be at least one handmade item
3. only send what you would LOVE to receive. think quality. be proud!
4. don’t make jek or genny be a bad cop. we HATE being bad cops! :)

5. HAVE FUN! happy school supply shopping! ~jek, genny, julie & teresa

6. handmade item

7. interesting/local candy, sweets or mints
8. something to craft wtih (yarn, paper, buttons, etc.)
9. something for vanity (lip balm, scented oil, candles, etc.)
10. something unique from where you live (local crafter or fun souvenir)
11. something to write with (pens, pencils, stationery, etc.)

and as always send a thank you via email or handwritten to the person who sent to you and post pictures of what you send AND receive! oh, and don't forget to rate yer person!
