FAVORITE CRAFTY THINGS EXCHANGE SIGN UP'S THIS EXCHANGE IS CLOSED

 THIS EXCHANGE IS CLOSED....thank you to all 25 of you that are playing along..........

Hello all..........
So I thought it would be fun to have a FAVORITE CRAFTY THINGS party through the US Mail.

You can see more of the project above by clicking here and LOADS of ideas at this Pinterest link.

This exchange is JUST FOR CRAFT ITEMS ONLY AND unfortunately this exchange is only open to US Craftors.

So here are all the details: 

You will choose just ONE FAVORITE CRAFTY ITEM to send to five different people.

To make it fair lets just pick a FAVORITE item that is no more then around $5.00 ....believe me there are lots of items that I use daily that are around 5 dollars or less: ink pads, pens, mini paper pads, certain embellishments etc.........(if it is a certain kind of say ribbon - maybe give at least a spool or at least a yard of it to each person)....

Depending on how many people sign up, I will put you in a group of five. So that means you will need to have at least 5 of the same item to be able to send to each person in your group.

Please email me your name and address to fabriccutups@prodigy.net by August  7th 2013. I will then get all the names together and place you in a group and send you your group names and addresses by no later then midnight August 10th 2013..........

PLEASE when sending me your name and address put FAVORITE THINGS EXCHANGE in the title for your email...........

All items will need to be shipped - postmarked to the 5 people in your group by August 26th 2013.

I have added a link below to receive for free two of the tags that you can use within your package. You can view the full set of A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS here......

Email me with any questions you may have...........
I love getting little surprises in the mail and it's all the better getting CRAFTY GOODIES...(SMILE)

Just click on the add to cart to get the tags for free.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE CRAFTY THINGS

There are a few crafty things that I simply love: kraft paper, brown ribbon, white gel pen, black zig pen, my minds eye paper....just to name a few.............

So I decided to use the new set and put together a favorite things for her and package it all up....I hope she likes my little brown paper bag tied with a bow gift........

I have added more shelves and jars.......
