SEPT/OCTOBER 2007 Shades of Red Swaparooni

Shades of Red Swap requirements:

1. You MUST BE at least 18 to play.

2. All SWAPPERS need to join this Color Me Happy Swaparooni flickr group. I WILL announce new SWAPS here, and I'll announce them at my personal blog, OMSH too.

3. This Shades of Red Swap is a one time SWAP. Sign-up is until midnight (CST) on August 28th. Swap buddies will be assigned by September 3rd. Swaps must be shipped by October 1st. That give you FOUR WEEKS to shop!

4. This SWAP has a minimum expenditure of $15.00. you must spend no less than $15.00 on each of your swaps. YOU CAN make something, but the little doo-dads, trinkets, knicks knacks that you buy should cost no less than $15.00. The $15.00 DOES NOT INCLUDE shipping.

6. This SWAP does NOT have a maximum expenditure, but please remember not to feel miffed if you get a $15.00 gift(s) and you send a $50.00 gift.

6. You need to create a list of likes/dislikes by the close of the sign-up, August 28, so that when you are assigned your swap-buddie will have SOME idea of what direction to go and not to go. Post your list at the flickr group under the "A Bit About Me" discussion thread. Again, this swap will require that you be a member of flickr to participate.

7. MOST IMPORTANT!!! You must tell ME you want in this swap by responding to this thread by midnight (CST) on August 28th! Then, using my flickr email or contact page, send your name, your flickr name (if you are not contacting me via flickr), your blog URL (if you have one), your physical address, and a contact email. This information will ONLY be given to your flickr buddie.

8. This is a Shades of Red Swap. That means that everything you send/receive needs to be in shades of red. Obviously there may be slight deviations, but the general theme is shades of red.

9. HAVE FUN! That is absolutely mandatory! YOU MUST HAVE FUN!

10. If you absolutely CANNOT ship Internationally, let me know ahead of time. I realize the shipping could be higher for some than others.

11. If you participated in the Blue & Brown Swap, and your package has not been shipped to your Swap Buddie yet, you cannot sign up for the Shades of Red Swap until it has hit the mail.

I would LOVE for you to invite more people, but again they MUST be members of flickr. You can use the flickr group invitation or send'em a personal email. OH! And please feel free to use the graphic above on your blog/website - grab the code here.

Oh.... I don't know what to do. I love red (we're big UGA fans)! But I'm also due to have a baby on Sept 23rd. Bad timing, huh? :o) I think I'll be sitting this one out. But .... maybe I should think about it a little longer. What do y'all think? This is my first pregnancy so I don't know what to expect.

the_angel_forever says:

Citystreams: How you feel after will depend on how things go with the birth. Most of the time you'll feel pretty good within a week or two - the lack of sleep thing is just the worst part to get used to. However, I think a nice cute package right after your new baby girl arrives would be a nice perk - don't you? Think about it and see if you will be able to swing the shopping online or before she comes. . . and we know your husband can take care of the shipping ;)

I am also debating things. As I sit here waiting to open the package from you I am not sure if I should do the next one. I should be saving money since I am a SAHM now, but at the same time it was SO much fun.

bethany actually  Pro User  says:

citystreams, could you enlist a friend to help you out? You would probably have the first couple of weeks of September to purchase things specific to your swap buddy, and you could start buying things now that you think anyone might like. Your friend could be a back-up in case you have the baby early or need bed rest or something. :-) I think whomever gets your name would probably have fun putting together a fun package for a first-time mama and baby--I know I would!

NC_Belle36  Pro User  says:

citystreams, I am echoing what Bethany said. Enlist a friend to help out. Start shopping now and if you don't ship before you deliver your enlisted friend can make the post office trip for you. I'm also sure that your swap buddy would understand if their package was a little late due to your circumstance!! I wouldn't mind a late package and I would love the opportunity to put together a 'various shades of red' package for a new mama and baby!!

Oh My Stinkin' Heck!  Pro User  says:

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry I got behind on this thread.
Let me answer some of the questions.

triple take - You need to click on the image and then click the "All Sizes" link above it. Once you do that you can select the size of the graphic you want to display on your blog and click on it. Below the photo will be a display of html that you can then copy and paste into your blog. Let me know if anything burps or doesn't work!

hockey7butterfly - ABSOLUTELY! We have several Canadians. If people don't want to ship internationally from the U.S. they state so. I even have Canadians asking to ship to Canadians only. No problem. I do the best I can with those that join each swap.

I never hear my accent. I sound like everyone around me. heh heh

citystreams - You've had a lot of good advice, so I'll just say we'd love to have you and we'll give you all the support you need.

Okay, REMEMBER if you haven't ever swapped AND I do not have your information listed above, send it on. If you HAVE swapped and nothing has changed ... just post here.

citystreams says:

Okay!! Y'all convinced me! I have a few good friends who would help me out in a pinch :o) So count me in Heather. I'll do my best to ship early rather than late.

Bethany, Belle and Holley - you're all so sweet! Thanks for the support and I'd be happy to swap with any of you. (And Holley it is a girl! I'm a BIG fan of smocking but not nearly skilled enough to do it myself. I'm so impressed that you're that talented!)

theSmockLady says:

OH, crap! Holley beat me to it. I was going to send a private e-mail asking OMSH to stick me with someone who has a little girl under two so I can send them something fall and fun and shades of red.

Citystreams, she does beautiful work. She taught me much of what I know.

But, of course, OMSH is the match-maker anyway. I have been inspired by the reds so maybe someone else has a little girl.

This is fabulous.
I'm working on a script that will make all this much easier, but it'll be a couple of swaps still before I can get it in place - likely at the 6th swap mark.

So far we've done well.
Glad there are some new faces!

Keep'em coming!

LOVELY LADIES.

IF YOU ARE NEW AND I DID NOT RECEIVE THE INFORMATION REQUESTED IN #7 ABOVE IN MY INBOX, I cannot match you for the swap.

There are too many of you guys to chase you down for emails and addresses.

If you haven't mailed me an email, address, full name and website, you are not yet in the swap.

Oh My Stinkin' Heck!  Pro User  says:

Oh wow - this has been a large and time-consuming matchup.

For those that have asked me to match them up with someone who has a little girl (there were two or three), I really can't go through and find out who has kiddos at what age.

If you have a preference for "who" to swap with, I'd be glad to consider it, but when it boils down to the bottom line I try to be as random as possible to be fair.

Okay, I have all the names matched up and will post them today. It'll take me a couple of days to get all the emails out! HA!
