WOW - September is just around the corner and it is time to SIGN-UP to be a Secret Pal.
* So DO NOT DELAY!!!! PLEASE Remember the Following ...
* Secret Pal's are meant to be a source of encouragement. A time to get to know a pal a little bit better
* IT IS A COMMITTMENT and it needs to be taken seriously. If you are a person who can not make a block within 10 days and send it with a note about you with a FQ then please DO NOT sign up.
* Be Thankful, Appreciative, SECRET and COMMUNICATE. Please DO NOT BREAK the HEART of your SP or my HEART.
Here are the STEPS to FOLLOW:
* Sign up HERE by the 31st of August
* I will PM you your Pals name the night of August 31st
* Go to the HINTS Thread (top of Swaps page) to look for your pals info.
* You will then make ONLY ONE 12.5" block of your choosing using HER COLORS and hopefully fabric likes, i.e. 1930's or batiks.
* When you have finished your block send it to her along with a FQ of GOOD quality fabrics PLUS a NOTE telling her about YOU. Please NO see-through fabrics. (Be careful of JoAnn's FQ's) If you have a question to ask her please PM me. I will PM you the answer.
* Please TAKE A PICTURE of the block/Fat Quarter you made for her.
* MAIL BY the 10th of September - First Class with Tracking# is OK
* PM me your Tracking#. THIS IS A MUST. If your package does not arrive then you will be able to investigate where it might be.
* DO NOT POST on the thread that you mailed. It is a secret till the end of the month when I reveal ALL names. You can leave sneaky hints
* POST a "THANK YOU TO MY SP" as soon as YOU RECEIVE your package. DO NOT SAY HER NAME. THIS WILL KEEP IT A SECRET FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
* Do emergencies arise? Yes the do - so when you sign up please keep watch as to who else signs up, check out her hints page for her colors and pick some fabrics that she would like. This way you will be ready to MAIL 2 FQ's in her colors with a note letting her know why you were not able to make her a block. We all have fabric in our stash to share with a friend.
* THIS IS IT - NOTHING MORE. JUST ONE BLOCK
ABSOLUTELY NO EXTRA's (unless it is her birthday month). This keeps the expense down and EQUAL among everyone. FUN and FAST!! SIGN-UP now so you can start looking for a block you would like to make for a Pal.
If you are a NEWBIE to our Monthly Secret Pals I will need your contact info. Real name - Forum name - Address - Phone Number - Email address and Friend me on Facebook if you have an account. I will not share any info you give me with your SP other than your name and address. I just need as many way's to reach you as possible
HUGS HUGS and BLESSINGS to you ALL for a GREAT SP MONTH!!!
