Due Date: May 22, 2010. This is when I need to receive your package. The mail by date is May 15 to make sure the package arrives to me on time.
Required check-ins will be:
April 2nd: verify groups and pm info to me
April 23rd: Last call for angels
May 1st: Let me know when you expect to be mailing
May 15th: Mail date

Requirements: 2 elements from the list below
Groups A,B,C,D, & E each include a ride, show, attraction, other entertainment and a general DHS spot. Groups G are photo ops located throughout DHS.
1. Choose your group. I will open additional groups if the initial one fills. (If group A fills, I will open group A1 with the same choices). If you have a request for a spot in a group that hasnt opened yet, please list it. I will fill the groups in the order you post. Please limit yourself to 2 groups if you haven't swapped with me before.
2. PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email, and phone number - these will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you.
3. Post your status on the progress thread every 2 weeks. Check in dates will be listed.
4. Packing/Mailing Instructions: use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label on the outside of each bag. Include your name, DISname and group number. Youll have 4, 5 or 6 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag for each group you are in. Include your return postage, please. If you want delivery confirmation, don't forget to send in the extra money for that as well as a completed slip. Please write your DISname on the outside of your package. Please include an address label for your return package if you have one.

DHS swap/Group A
Do not individually address the bags -- it is easier to swap out without names on the bags.
5. Do not send click-it/ship-it postage.
6. PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
Element List -- choose 2
Here are the elements to choose from (if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it). If you have questions about any of these elements, you can look at the swap glossary link at the top of the swaps board, the swap photo gallery link at the top of the swaps board, or PM me.
Please, no hand lettering on any items. You may use computer fonts, rub-ons, stamps, die cut letters, etc. Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, 3D stickers (matted stickers are ok, too), clip art, glitter/embossed/shiny/shimmer paper, inking, tearing, embossing (dry & heat), or extra layer of any paper. All elements should be double-matted and embellished in some other way unless otherwise noted. If you dont know if yours is okay, ask me.

If you have another idea, near clarification or if I have written something that just doesn't make any sense, please post or PM to let me know!
Please note: If you choose the general DHS spot, please keep it general.
Altered Letter Groups L-Q: Make a 4 inch letter, matted, and embellished at least once. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative.
Altered Letter Groups R-Y: Make your letters 2 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. Your top letter is cut at 2 inches and the mat can be the shadow. Each group will have it's own color scheme. Please stick to the color scheme selected for each group.
