Just over two weeks ago, I volunteered to co-ordinate this year's Annual
Card Exchange.
And then a little later I also celebrated my 50th birthday. Many thanks
to those all those friends who sent me e-mails.
So far, there are 30 participants & I will be accepting names for two
more weeks.
So I am posting the rules again, for anyone who didn't read them before.
Here are the basic rules of the 2008 Annual Card Exchange:
Lacemakers participating in the exchange will swap one card with another
lacemaker. The card itself can be handmade or purchased, but there must
be some lace on or in it & the lace can be any type of lace - hardanger,
tatted, knitted, needle or bobbin lace.
The card must be mailed by December 5th at the latest, so that it will
arrive before Christmas. Please keep in mind that overseas postal
deliveries can take a little longer in December.
Each participant may sign up for 1, 2 or 3 exchanges.
Please give this serious consideration - sign up ONLY if you are willing
to make some lace & send the card before the deadline. It is extremely
disappointing to send a card & not to receive a card in return. This has
happened in previous years, but if for some reason a participant cannot
meet their commitment, then please notify me asap.
An e-mail needs to be sent to the sender as soon as the card has been
received, & a scan needs to be sent to Jenny Brandis who has kindly
offered, again, to host photos of the cards. Senders & recipients can
decide who sends the scan or photo.
If you are interested in participating, please send a private e-mail to
me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- please do NOT send your request to the list.
Send me your name, postal & e-mail addresses, as well as how many cards
to be exchanged. The only preference that I will accept is that of
sending a card within your own country. I will send a confirmation that
I have received your request to participate.
I will accept names from now until October 15th, and you can start
making lace for your card(s) as soon as you like. Please don't
procrastinate.
I will send out notifications on Monday, October 20th. Participants
should then confirm this notification with me & their "trading/swapping"
partner.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Yours lacefully,
Pene
