This thread is our primary means of communication. You'll want to check in often to be fully informed, so please SUBSCRIBE to this thread. Participant paid list and swap lists will be updated ONLY when registration forms with payments are received. It is fine to post here that you are coming and which swaps you're interested in, but lists will be updated only once your registration arrives. Thank you for understanding.
********************************* It's an entire day of stamping fun so plan to join us at the original Central New York Shoebox Swap.
Cost – $30.00 by check or PayPal Friends & Family when paid by February 27. Last chance for registration ($35.00) is 5 o'clock on March 27. This will give you plenty of time to complete your swaps and projects. Registration form is at the bottom of this post. There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else.
Please make up 14 project kits (plus oopsies) PLUS 2completed projects. You'll also want some extra parts for those "oopsies". The completed projects will be displayed at your table and on boards so that everyone can get pictures of all of them. The projects pinned to the boards will go home with me. (Thank you.)
SWAPS: Participate in none, one, some or all. It's up to you. All card swaps are full cards.
Stampin' Up! only full card (must be current SU! for this one) - FINAL COUNT 14 (amazing!!!)
Get Well/Feel Better/Thinking of You full card - NVR (NVR = no vendor requirement) - FINAL COUNT 10
Make a Scene full card - NVR - FINAL COUNT 10
Fun Fold full card - NVR - FINAL COUNT 12
Anything goes slim line full card (fits #6-3/4 small business envelope) - NVR - FINAL COUNT 12
Mandatory Shoebox (Table) Project – Bring your idea and all the supplies (precut but not pre-stamped or prepunched) needed for xx to make your project the day of the event. Quality products are mandatory. There are several threads that discuss qualities of a good swap. Please read them if you are unsure or ask here. Your shoebox project will be set out in the morning. You will work on your table's projects in the morning and move to a different table, graze, shop garage sale items and move to a different table in the afternoon. GOOD DIRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BE POSTED WITH YOUR SHOEBOX but you'll also briefly describe your project for the room at large. Yes, you are in essence a demo for the day! Make 14 kits plus 2 additional completed shoebox projects. Participation in the table shoebox project is mandatory. This project will generally be a full card, with layers and embellishment(s) or a simple 3D item. Please provide any special adhesive that's needed. Make these something you’d be thrilled to get yourself. Projects should take NO MORE THAN 10-15 minutes to complete. If you are unsure, time yourself or someone else doing your project.
Food – Please indicate on the registration sheet the food item you will bring to share. Please be specific; don’t just say “food”! Ideas: breakfast items, lunch items, including salads, desserts, and snacks. We love to try your food specialties! Water will be provided. If the food options are "uneven", I may be in touch to request that you make a change.
“Garage Sale” – Bring your stamps and stamping supplies to sell or trade. Current Stampin’ Up! items must be offered for trade only; you can sell retired items. Sorry but we can’t be responsible for missing items so bring things at your own risk. There is a very limited table space for garage sale items. If you are bringing a lot to sell, BYO table. Please have items priced and include your name somewhere obvious.
Goodie Bags – for everyone! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will all have the same value but may have variations in colors, etc. If you would like to donate to the goodie bags, please message me.
We'll happily accept door prizes (new condition and stamping related, please). It's fantastic that we can give so much away so please consider donating.
Other Stuff – Please bring your own LABELED items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can’t stamp without: favorite adhesive(s), bone folder, paper trimmer, scoring tool, scissors, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! If you leave something behind, I can't return it without a name to ID it. Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
Simple name tags will be provided.

Reason: update
Remember that you'll save $5 when you pay by February 27. Please try to send both your payment and registration form at the same time. Some have paid but not ID'd swaps, etc. and some have given details but not yet paid. It's going to be a mess to keep up if this keeps up! ;-)
Gayla wants to know if anyone is interested in a gift swap? You can respond here or send me a message. There will need to be a minimum of three to make it work. If you don't know what's involved in a swap like this, I will let Gayla chime in to explain.
This is a wonderful gathering but sorry to say with family obligations, I'm not able to attend but definitely will come in the fall. Thank for Linda for putting on a wonderful event.
