Description:

I am hosting a similar swap for rolo cards in the Paper Cutz group - check it out if you are interested! I thought I would try hosting one in a group and hosting one as a private swap and see if either of them run more smoothly.

I am only inviting people with whom I have previously swapped (or have at least seen their work on Flickr) and know and trust and think will do a good job and will have fun and won't create drama and will send me lots of extras (HA!! Just wanted to see if you are paying attention).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've been thinking about a swap like this for a very long time and I think that I have finally figured out the logistics to be able to make it happen!

For this swap all participants will start out with a little supply kit that contains the same items as everyone else. The kit will be based around the Graphic45 paper stack called "Communique". I will add other items too - punchies, stickers, ribbon, embellishments, gems, brads, eyelets, charms, etc - I won't know for sure until I put the kits together.

You will be making THREE twinchies for each of THREE partners plus THREE more twinchies for me (that's to "pay" me back for the supply kit I will send you). So - make TWELVE total twinchies from your supply kit.

Start with the supply kit that I furnish to you and then add whatever else you want; however, be sure that you use enough items from the supply kit (and in big enough pieces) that it is obvious they are there. You don't HAVE to add anything to the supply kit if you choose not to.

Usual rules apply: * No sticker slapping (but stickers are definitely allowed) * Any medium(s) * Late sends and flakers will not be tolerated.

The fun of this swap will be starting with a supply kit and then seeing what your partners created using the same supplies! It would be FANTASTIC if everyone posted their completed twinchies in the "Twinchie Madness" Flickr group so we can all see ALL of the variety!

Dates: Sign Up Deadline: 10/11 I will send out supply kits by: 10/15 Send by Deadline for completed rolos: 11/14

I have tried to think this through as clearly as I can but please ask any questions you have and I will try to clarify. Thanks!

if i get laura as a partner i send you - laura- 6 twinchies?

Leashah 10/ 6/2011 #

I will need more time... :(

Too much at the beginning of November for me.

Fatherted 10/ 6/2011 #

1 week more would be cool, usually mail from usa to me take 5-10 days, but it can be more.

LauraAust 10/ 6/2011 #

Yep - if I get assigned as your partner you will send me a total of SIX twinchies!

Ok - I'll extend the "send by" date by a week!

I've never done twinchies before but I couldn't resist this. Thanks for the invite, Laura! Great swap concept.

Lishmo 10/ 9/2011 #

I love this idea Laura! Thank you very much for the invite. But, I can't do it! :( Dang it, I have company coming and this is such a busy time of year.

I can't wait to see pictures! Hope you do something like this again.

I too think this is an awesome idea and I signed up instantly. Unfortunately I have had to hang up my swapping shoes until Christmas as I'm getting married in 7 weeks and things are crazy busy in my world. If you run another one I will sign up without hesitation. I am so sad I won't get to play this time, I LOVE Graphic 45 supplies and have lots of things that could have complimented this swap. Have fun all. x

LauraAust 10/11/2011 #

@Zoe - I totally understand! From the looks of the popularity of this swap I'm sure I will be doing some more in the future (and I love Graphic 45 so am sure it will be making an appearance again!)! Thanks!

@Lishmo - once again, I understand! Maybe after the first of the year I will run some more swaps like this!

Leashah 10/19/2011 #

I got my kit! :D Love it!

PenguinParade 10/20/2011 #

Those kits are cool Laura! So excited!!

stephiedee 10/20/2011 #

Moosecastle 10/23/2011 #

Got the supplies yesterday - 1½ hour later all 12 twinchies were done!! It was so much fun; we gotta do more of these!! :)

Marryth 10/23/2011 #

I'm hoping mine will arrive tomorrow - I want to play, too! :D

Moosecastle 10/23/2011 #

Hmm nice to know that mail from the US to Denmark takes shorter time than US to Canada;)

Marryth 10/26/2011 #

Apparently, the Denmark postal system can run laps around Canada Post without even breaking a sweat - I keep hoping, 'Tomorrow!'...so, maybe tomorrow, the supplies will arrive? :P

Fatherted 10/27/2011 #

Gnarr i wanna play too!

Marryth 10/27/2011 #

Me too! Maybe tomorrow...lol

Marryth 10/31/2011 #

Looks like 'tomorrow' is today - my goodies arrived today! :D Fun stuff; can't wait to get going!
