Holiday Ornament Swap 2011

Welcome to the Holiday Ornament Swap 2011!
Today is the beginning of sign ups, the sign up window will close on Sunday, November 6th.
The guidelines are simple:

1.     Sign up for the swap by sending an email with the following information to:  whisperedonesecret@gmail.com

- NAME
- FULL MAILING ADDRESS
- EMAIL
- web or blog address link (only one site please)


2. On November 14th you'll receive an email with the addresses of 5-10 other swap partners to send your   ornaments to.


3. Design a handmade ornament that you can create multiples of and make your ornaments.


4. Package your ornaments well...especially if you create anything fragile.


5. Send one of your ornaments to each person on the list of 5-10 other participants in your group by December 12th.
 

 If you would like to share photos of the ornaments you make and receive, please do so in the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/holidayornamentswap2011/

 You will need a flickr account to upload photos. A flickr account is free and easy to set up.

What sort of materials can be used?
Any craft or art material!  It is only limited by your imagination!
 Please do not send food products.

Will my address be on the internet anywhere?
~No. The only people who will receive your address are the people you are swapping with.

What about shipping costs?
~You are responsible for shipping costs for your ornaments...just as others are paying to ship ornaments to you.

****A note on international shipping****
If you package your ornaments accordingly, shipping prices really aren't that much different considering the weight of your ornament. Be sure to read your countries shipping policies as well.
 Please note that certain countries have restrictions as far as importing grains, beans, or other like materials, so please take that into consideration if you are making ornaments to ship internationally.
