Welcome to the GIBBS Happy Mail Swap!

This blog is for the GIBBS Happy Mail Swap.  Only those who have been invited will be able to view the posts and make posts of their own.  The swap will operate on a monthly basis (i.e., you sign up for one month at a time meaning you can sit out a month if you know you will be too busy).

FEBRUARY HAPPY MAIL!!  Please post your wishes as a COMMENT to this post!


SHIPPING DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, FEB. 23rd!!

DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT IS MARCH 2ND!!

You must ship your items no later than February 23rd with DC#.   The item MUST be received by March 2nd or you cannot participate in the next round.  Signups for the March round will start at the end of February.

WISHING (signups close on February 4th):
1. You post a wish list of 3-5 handmade items you would like to receive in the COMMENTS of this post. 
2. Include your name and mailing address in your post.
3. You wait for someone else to grant your wishes. They will not post that they will grant your wishes. It is meant to be a surprise.
4. You receive a surprise in the mail.
5. Please post as soon as you receive your package and let us all know what wonderful goodies you received!

Wish List Ideas:  Cards, ATCs, Decoration, Banner, Photo Mats, Layouts, Stamped Images, Cuttlebug Embossed Papers, Tags,  Altered Journal, Swap/Address Book, Perpetual Calendar, Mini Album, Journaling Spots, Handmade Flowers or Embellishments.

GRANTING:
1. You read through the posts and choose at least two people you would like grant wishes for.  (You will get assigned 1 person).  If you want to grant for more than 1 person, please indicate and provide additional names in case some are already taken.
2. You wait for me to confirm that person has not already been selected and then you begin crafting.  Assignments will be made on approximately February 5th.
3. You mail their wish BEFORE THE DEADLINE, notify me that you have shipped and wait for their thanks.

NOTES:
The idea of this is to be surprised with happy mailboxes! I will be keeping track of wishes granted and will expect that they are received. If they are not received you will not be allowed to play in future months.
PLEASE make sure to thank your grantor as soon as you receive your package!  It is RUDE to not say thank you!

Circumstances happen…… IF YOU CAN NOT SEND BY THE SHIPPING DATE YOU MUST CONTACT ME ASAP! PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE DEADLINE DATE TO PM ME SAYING YOU CAN’T SHIP.  IF I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU BY FEBRUARY 23RD I WILL EXPECT THAT YOU HAVE SHIPPED TO YOUR WISHER. IF YOUR ITEMS ARE NOT RECEIVED BY MARCH 2ND YOU CANNOT SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT MONTH.

IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THROUGH (AND HONESTLY RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN OR NOT) PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP! THERE IS NO FLAKER LIST, HOWEVER YOU CANNOT SIGN UP UNTIL YOU FULFILLED YOUR PREVIOUS MONTH'S OBLIGATION.
