That's easy, just follow these simple steps and you will soon be swapping!

I hope that everyone has fun and comes back over and over again for more swapping......


So.....here's the scoop! To join any swap;
  • Just email me a message at calcrochetnut@msn.com


  • Put your name, mailing address (guarantee to use for swapping only), email address, and your blog or url (if you have one) .


  • Then add a line or two about yourself....like is this your first swap, do you knit,crochet, or do another craft, maybe you love to read, pen pal, or like me do it all....tell me anything you want.

  • Then copy and paste the short questions "Wish List" to your blog, so your partner will learn a little about you...if you don't have a blog you or I can post a little about you on the main swap blog, just let me know in your email to me so I can link your name and blog with your "Wish List" to the "Wish List."


  • Once you are accepted for the swap I will list your name in the right column and link your blog to your name.

Rules:

  1. If you sign up for a swap, please make sure that you will be able to keep your commitment and send a package by the end of the swap month in which you signed up for.
  2. Each month the swaps will be open for sign ups till the 6th.
  3. On approximately the 8th of the month the partners will be assigned and posted on the blog.
  4. You must send your package by the end of that month.
  5. You also need to email your partner to say "Hello" and [CC the hostess] to let them know that their package is on the way and post it on the blog.
  6. If you are posting your questions on your own blog please let your partner know.
  7. Once you receive your package you MUST post a picture on the blog and your thank you! This is very important!!!
  8. Every month there will be voting for the best packages and the winner will receive a prize from the hostess. Be sure to cast your votes by posting on the blog or by email.
  9. Each month will have a different theme so be sure to watch the posting on the blog for details.
  10. Each swapper who has their own blog will be linked to their name under the monthly swappers
  11. If you fail to send out your package by the end of the month and do not contact your partner, or the hostess by the 10th of the following month, then an angel will be assigned to send to your assigned partner. If you want to send a package after that date you will need to send your package to the angel who took your place in the swap!
  12. If you fail to send a package in any month you will then have to send a Just in Case "JIC" package to the hostess to hold for you in order to participate in any future swaps.
  13. A "JIC" package will be used in place of any packages that are not sent.
  14. If you sign up and fail to send a package more than 2 times you will be banned from swapping on this blog.
  15. If you have a problem because of any life circumstance and are unable to send your package you must contact the hostess and your partner to stay in good standing with this swap blog.
  16. The swapping is for fun and to be fair to all our swappers the rules have to be adhered to by all!
