Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
This event will be held on the second floor. There is one flight of stairs and no elevator. Please plan accordingly. ALSO ... This is the primary means of communications. You will want to check in often to be fully informed. I will update the participant list and swap lists ONLY when registration forms are received. It is nice to post here that you are coming and what swaps you are interested in ... but lists will be updated when I receive your registration. THANKS!!
*********************************

I hope you’re planning to join us at our next Central New York Shoebox Swap.
Here’s the info:

Mail your registration form and payment to Nancy Baker (address is on the form and NOT the same location as the event). There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else.
The address for mailing your registration is NOT THE SAME AS THE LOCATION OF THE EVENT!!
Here’s what’s planned.
PLEASE MAKE UP 18 KITS!!! (plus ooopsies!!) PLUS 2 COMPLETED! ONE for a sample at your table location, ONE for the Hostess.
Mandatory Swap(s) (just ONE of these is mandatory) – Participating in at least one of these swaps is part of the “price” of admission so everyone must participate in a swap (plus the shoebox table project is also required). You can, however, participate in any one, some or all of these swaps.

PLEASE MAKE UP 18 KITS!!! PLUS 2 COMPLETED!
***********************************************
Mandatory Shoebox (Table) Project – Bring your idea and all the supplies (precut but not prestamped or prepunched) needed for EVERYONE to make your project the day of the event. Quality products are mandatory. There are several threads that discuss quality of swaps. Please read them if you are unsure. ALL the shoebox projects will be set out in the morning. You will proceed, in "round robin" fashion, to each of the projects and do ALL PROJECTS. YOU will move, YOUR PROJECT will not. GOOD DIRECTIONS WILL NEED TO BE POSTED ON YOUR SHOEBOX, you will not demo or be around for everyone to ask questions. When our final count is in, you will know how many kits to make. You will need to bring TWO extra completed shoebox projects (which includes a hostess thank you and one for your table so that everyone can follow it for directions). 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. When you KNOW what your card or project is, please post a name for it here or send me a PM. We will all have a check off list the day of the event. Projects should take NO MORE THAN 10- 12 minutes to complete. If you are unsure, time someone else doing your project.
You WILL need 2 completed. One is for a sample at the table and one is for the hostess. I will try to complete all of the projects on the day of the event, but because of the hectic day may not be able to complete them all. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ...
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. Water will be provided. We love to try your food specialties! We will have coffee, IF YOU MAKE IT!! There is a refrigerator and a microwave. Crockpots are welcome too!!
“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 will be a LIMITED AMOUNT of table space for garage sale items. If you are bringing a lot to sell, you SHOULD bring your own table. There is no fee to sell/trade at this event. Please have items priced. It is annoying to have to ask.
Goodie Bags – for everyone! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will all have the same value with some variations in colors, etc. If you would like to donate to the goodie bags, please send me a private message. We'd be happy to include a coupon or flyer as well.
Gift Swap – For now … skipping the gift swap.
PLEASE consider donating a door prize. It would be lovely if we had enough for everyone.
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, like: bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
NAMETAGS are helpful, but not mandatory.
SHARE THIS EVENT WITH A NEWBIE OR FRIEND. ALL ARE WELCOME.
Complete the registration form and forward with your $25 payment by FEBRUARY 23RD.
All funds collected will be spent on the event, for the room, drinks/snacks, CHOCOLATE, and paper products etc. Your registration is complete when your payment is received. If you have any questions, please ask!
************ CONTEST ... CONTEST *************
THERE WILL ALSO BE A "BEST OF THE SHOEBOXES" AWARD.

Checking the date to see if I can drive to this, 2 and a half hours to get there but well worth the trip. Just posted a gathering I'm going to try to do. May 13th in Oakfield, just outside of Batavia. Stampapalooza will not be happening this year so trying to do something for our side of the state this spring.
