HURRY HURRY!! 2 DAYS LEFT TO JOIN THE SECRET PAL SWAP

Don't miss out on the best swap ever! Our "Secret Pal Swap" sign up is over on January 28th.

Do you like to receive surprises? Things that you always wanted? Stuff you can use through the weekend? It's a great way to make a new scrapping friend. Nothing brightens someones day than to find a wrapped gift on their workstation or to hear their name called that they have a gift at the help desk waiting for them.

Make the weekend more fun! Join the secret pal swap. Contact Joanie at joanie3@hotmail.com

BUILD A SCRAPBOOK PAGE SWAP

Let's try something new this time. When you sign up, you'll tell us what you will be working on at the weekend.  (Example: my sons 7th Spiderman birthday: wild wasabi cardstock, I like chip board or I am working on Christmas and I like to use Cherry Cobbler and Holly Jolly paper with Christmas die cuts.) Whoever gets you would put a package together for you so you could make approximately 4 pages.

To sign up you will have to send me your name and e-mail address. I will send you a short questionnaire so the person who get you will know what you are working on and will need. you also could send a layout if you want to be really CREATIVE. If you have any questions or to sign up, please contact Joanie at joanie3@hotmail.com. This swap will close on Jan 31st.

CARD SWAP

Lets change things up a bit!

What are the cards we use the most? It's January, so I'm sure no one want to see a Christmas Card and  Valentine's Day will be over by the time of the swap. I'm thinking BIRTHDAY!

It's all about birthdays this time. Little Girl Birthday, Little Boy birthday, Sweet 16, Male Birthday, Female Birthday, Over the Hill Birthday, Happy 100th brithday, whatever makes you happy because it's about Happy Birthdays. If you would like to sign up please contact JOANIE at joanie3@hotmail.com before Feb 4th. There is no need to pick what card you will be making; it's designers choice. There will be a limit on this swap.

Thank You,

SECRET PAL SWAP

One Big highlight from our crop weekends is the ever popular, secret pal swap.  How cool will it be when your name is called out to pick up a surprise at the help desk, or you find a little gift on your scrapping space when you leave for a little while?  Here is a chance to get some goodies that you want but wouldn't go out and get for yourself.  You'll create a "wish list" of supplies and things you would like to have for the weekend.

Here is how it works:

  As a secret pal, you will fill out a questionnaire "privately" to the coordinator of the swap.  The Swap coordinator will put all the participants names in a hat and give each person a pal.  You will then receive your pals questionnaire to learn more about her.  You may or may not know them, but either way, you’ll want to keep yourself secret!!!  You’ll want to make your secret pal feel very special by giving her gifts before and (especially) during the weekend.  You may want to send her a card or 2 before hand, buy her some scrapping supplies (I think chocolate counts for this, too!!) to give her during the weekend, and don’t forget - hand made gifts are always fun too!!  We suggest keeping the total amount of money that you spend around $40.  Keep in mind, someone will be giving YOU gifts all weekend too!!!  On Saturday night, we will have a “reveal”, so you can finally introduce and/or reveal yourself to your secret pal as well as find out who your pal was.

To participate, please send me a PRIVATE EMAIL at joanie3@hotmail.com  no later than Jan 28th. Your secret pal will be given to you on or about Jan 31st 2011.  You will receive a questionnaire at that time with details about your secret pal.  If you have any questions, please email Joanie at joanie3@hotmail.com.  You'll want to be attending the crop at least for Saturday, as Saturday night at 10pm will be the big reveal.

• we will do our best to match you up with scrappers who have the same package as you (so if you are not at the crop on Friday, your secret pal will also be someone who is not there on Friday)

• usually people like to get lots of little gifts, as opposed to one big one, but it is up to you how you "give"
• be creative & have fun and you'll be sure to leave the crop with a few new friends!!!!

Please make sure you come back to our blog often, as we will be posting reminders and other important crop info, especially as the crop gets closer.  If your friends have not visited us yet, you’ll want to tell them to now.  

Don’t forget – to join this swap, you need to send a PRIVATE EMAIL JOANIE at joanie3@hotmail.com  .  I will then send you a questionnaire to fill out & return to me so your secret pal will know a little bit about you!!!

Join in the fun!!!

Joanie

Your Swap Coordinator

.  Once your questionnaire is sent to you please send it back within 24 hours so you don't forget about it. Your secret pal will be sent out to you around January 31st.

Fall Crop Weekend and Secret Pals get ready!

 ARE YOU GETTING READY FOR SOME ME TIME? I know I am. So much to do and plan. And if you and I don't get everything done and pack in time, Who cares?? It's a girls' getaway and ME TIME!!

I'm so excited about the new Santa's Workshop and more!! I hope all you Secret Pal Gals are getting ready. This swap is a great way to meet other croppers. If you haven't sent a card to your pal don't worry, you have many chances to give a card. You can leave cards and little notes at her desk, throughout Friday and Saturday.  Bring them to the help desk or to me and I will put them on her desk, and we'll just keep her guessing until the reveal! Are you excited about the reveal? I know I cannot wait to see some of your faces! It will be great!!

See You Friday, Donna Rutkowski
