Ho HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS 4 X 4 CHUNKY PAGE SWAP/Open/Due Date: January 18th
Due date: January 18, 2019
Number of Pages: 3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of Participants: 30
Open Medium (No digital please)
Ho Ho Ho Christmas Chunky Page 4 x 4 Swap
It is time for my annual Christmas Chunky Page swap. This is a Christmas related swap; anything that has to do with Christmas.
Chunkies should be 4 x 4 in size; securely made & sturdy. Embellishments are encouraged but if used they must be securely fastened & able to go through a mail machine with no problems. If you do add a lot of raised embellies or lots of fibers please remember to send a bit of extra postage to cover them going to a different artist. Please leave a half inch clear on the left side for binding purposes. Encase your chunky pages in protective plastic. Please use stickers minimally & especially not as the focal point. Please decorate the back side as well (can be more simple) & put your info on the back (Real name/A4A name/the swap name/chunky title/where you are from/date).
Beings that this is an open medium swap, it must be noted that all artists will be mailed what comes in regardless of what medium they use. A HD/HP artist may end up getting a collage chunky page & vice versa. A collage artist may end up getting a HD/HP Chunky Page. If this issue is a big problem for you then you can private message me & I'll see what I can do but honestly, this swap was a blast last year & everyone was really happy with the returns they got regardless of what the medium was. This should be fun not gloom & doom....
As far as envelopes are concerned; if you want me to re-use the envelope that you sent your swaps in I can do that or you can send a new envelope in with your swaps. Please make sure to send a LARGE ADDRESS LABEL so that your returns get back to you right away. Both US and international artists must pay for their own return postage; either well concealed cash (the amount that it took to mail your chunky pages to me)/US stamps/or you can private message me for my Pay Pal addy info. ESTIMATED postage costs:
US/Canada $3.25-$4 for three pages/$4-$5 for six pages
Everywhere else $4-$5 for three pages/$6-$7 for six pages (This is approximate)
Please mail chunky pages a week & half or two weeks before due date (even earlier due to heavy mail loads this time of year). I WILL BE SWAPPING OUT ON TIME. Host chunky pages are not mandatory but I would be tickled pink (or even red in this case) if I received one. Late chunky pages will be returned unswapped. No communication and no pages will result in Neutral ITrader. When you are ready to send please private message me for my addy info. After yo have received your chunky pages; the names of the artists in the swap will be linked so that you can easily give out You Rock points & ITrader for me.
If you have any questions, whatsoever, please feel free to ask. It is a good idea to go over the rules a couple of times so that you become comfortable in getting your swaps out appropriately. So let's make some fun!!

Hey!! Where are all of my regulars at???!!
-
Hi Collette, I would love to join this swap. I've been away for a while. thank Amelia (daisies)
-
Amelia!! It is so nice to hear from you. Yes!! It has been a while. I hope that all is well with you & yours?
-
-
Am going to keep this open for another few days but if I don't hear from anyone else will probably shut it down due to lack of interest. So disappointing but artists' interests change from time to time....
-
I would love to do this. I want to do 6 for 6.

Hi Monica!! Welcome aboard!! Happy to have you joining in=)
-
-
I'm in a 4x4 mood at the moment. If I get a good start today I will come back and join tonight or tomorrow.
-
Oh, that would be great, nightowl_too! Hope it works out=)
-
Yep, I'm making good progress so sign me up please. Thanks.

I have questions. Can each of my chunkys be the same since they will be going to separate people? And, do I put a dangly on them. If so, what corner does the dangly go on. Also, these get mailed in bubble wrap mailers right? I'm thinking they do.
-
Okay. Yes, they can be the same. Usually, I request that they all be different but in this case I'll be more lenient on that. It is up to you whether or not you want to put danglies on. Most artists in this swap do tend to add them but they are not mandatory. The danglies can go anywhere except the left side as most artists like to put their holes in either the top left hand spot or down the left hand side. They don't have to be mailed in bubble wrap; it costs more to send them that way but my own personal preference is to send them in bubble wrap as I think it is more protective of the swaps. Am glad to see you sign up=)
-
Bumping us back up the line....
-
I've been working away on mine. They are not all going to be the same after all. I hope more people join us.
-
Sounds good. When I get a free minute I'll send some invites out....
-
No new nothing! Must de-stash bit by bit!
-
Oh, yay!! Happy to see you joining in, suzyq!!
