Please include a mailing label or piece of paper with your address neatly written. I will cover your envelopes but please include 1 U.S. dollar for 1 group, or 2 U.S. dollars for 2 groups. I can take PayPal if this is easier for you. If this is not possible, please let me know – I would hate for anyone to miss out!
Cards must be in my hands by July 15, 2016. I know from experience that life can get in the way, but please contact me as soon as possible if something comes up so we can get it handled right away. If your cards arrive late without communication, you will be given a neutral iTrader by me. Your cards will be returned to you and it will be up to you to honor the trade with your fellow group members or risk 4 negative iTraders. Non-receipt of cards will earn NEGATIVE iTraders from ALL group members and host.
If you want to post your cards to the thread for all to enjoy please do, but it is not required. However, if they get lost in the mail, you will have proof that you did get them done. When you receive your cards for the swap, remember to leave iTrader for the Host (me) AND each person you receive a card from.
I would love a hostess card to add to my collection!! It is not required but always appreciated!
