Inchies Due By: June 30, 2008
This will be: 10 for 10

I am ready to host a new inchies swap since mine just wrapped up.
How about a different kind this time, I was thinking about Butterflies today so lets do a " Colorfull Butterfly Swap ". This can be fun and funky as long as there are alot of colors in your butterflies in any medium that you prefer.

( LIMITED TO 15 PLAYERS: 10 - USA & 5 - INTERNATIONAL )

HERE ARE THE RULES:

1. Be sure you do your best work, this should be something that you would love to receive yourself.

2. Be sure they arrive at my house on or before the June 30, 2008 deadline. Any arriving after that day will be mailed back or swapped with other later arrivals.

3. USA Players - Please include a SASE with .59 cents postage

4. INTERNATIONAL Players - Please include a SAE ( I will cover the postage for your returns ). Extra Inchies or any other goodies are great but not required.

5. Please right your username and the name of the swap on the back of your mailing Envie and on the return Envie.

6. Be sure to right your name and date on the back of the inchies.

When you are ready to mail out then please pm me for my address. I will leave itraders for each one of you as I receive your inchies. I also will send pm's at times to remind you of when your inchies are due. Please post to the thread if you wish to join us and always post here as you are mailing those out and then I can be on the look out. It is also a big help to me for you to post to the thread as you receive your returns.

[princess06]

Robin, I'm sooo glad you came up with the idea for a colorfull butterfly inchies, my ideas are already brewing....., I also had a question about how to pack them off for mailing..., I've posted a thread in the members forum as well...whoops!.....

Any-whoo, I'm kind of new to "Inchies", and wanted to know if there was a proper way of packing them up for mailing....
Thank you for your troubles, and I hope you are feeling better:):)

[Robin]

So glad you are having fun coming up with ideas about your butterfly inchies.

As far as packing goes different people do different things. Some put the inchies in a card on some double side adheasive tape, I prefer to just put mine in a small envie, the inchies seem to tear easy when they are taped on.

We still need 1 more USA player!

[JAD]

OK Robin..I'm hooked..Sign me up :)

[jonquil]

Here are my inchies - have used pearl-ex powder on acetate and then attached them to a background I made. The shimmer doesn't show up so well in the scan

[Robin]

Jonquil - those look great! I will let you know when they arrive.

[Robin]

20 more days left to get those inchies to me so if you need my address then please pm me!

[Jitterbug]

My inchies are ready to fly to you. Is there any special way to package them?

[Robin]

Jitterbug - I will let you know when they arrive~

They are beautifull~

Anyway you wish to package them is fine!

[Robin]

I will be malings these returns out tommorow!

I have 1 player that I haven't received from but have been in contact with so when I receive hers I will swap those out with some of mine for a one on one trade. She had some family problems and as I said I had been in contact with her so she had not been avoiding me.

Hope everyone enjoys their returns and remember to leave rep points for those inchies you receive, the itraders should only be left for the hostess!

Thanks!
