General Swap Tips:
- Put your name and e-mail address on the back of your items.
- Be sure to include your return address somewhere inside your packet.
- Put your swap items in a baggie inside the envelope to avoid water damage.
- Please do NOT send metered postage strips.
- Send loose postage, do not attach to return envelope.
- Write the swap name outside of your packet to assist the host/ess in sorting.

UK & IRELAND SWAP

THEME: Anything to do with England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Think Big
Ben, cathedrals, Kings and Queens, Bagpipes, plaids and clans, Celtic
designs/symbols, St Patrick Day designs, medieval knights and castles etc.

You can make anything you want - cards, tags, matchboxes, books, dominoes etc.

You are welcome to make extra sets if we have enough players. Each set,
however, must be different. You can use the same stamps or design but your
creations must be different or changed in some way.

DUE DATE: Postmarked August 31.

The swap out deadline is exactly 10 days after the
postmark date. Please ensure that you mail your swap in time for them to
reach my house for this deadline. Late swaps will be returned.

POSTAGE REQUIREMENTS: Send Self Addressed Stamped Envelope with the same postage as it takes for you
to mail them to me - please include extra postage in case your returning swap
is heavier (will be returned if not used). Generally swaps need 83c or $1.06
so please don't just send 60c!

Please make sure that your SASE is no smaller than 6 x 9 mailer, preferably
bigger to allow for larger sized returned items. No meter strips.
Put your artwork in a plastic bag for protection against rain damage.
Include your name/email/stamp credits. Please write the name of the swap on
your envelope.

INTERNATIONAL SWAPPERS:
Please send an envelope that is no smaller than 15cm x 23cm - preferably bigger
to allow for larger returning items. Please send no less than 6 International
Return/Response Coupons for the return postage that can be purchased from your
post office. One coupon equals 80 US cents and any unused coupons will be returned. Please
make sure that your post office stamps your coupons otherwise the US post
office won't accept them. If you are unable to get the coupons then please send
$5 US Dollars and I will return any portion that is unused. I will also do my
best to try and arrange a trade for you for items from your Country in return
for covering your postage.

Proposal will be posted on more than one list so be prepared to Swap with each
other.

Email me to sign-up at bruntol@cox.net.
Please provide 2 contact email addresses just in case one of them stops
working. I would also like to know which group you saw this swap on :)
You will receive my mailing address in all the swap updates.

If you need to drop out then please let me know as soon as you can. Just shout
if you need help or need something clarified!

Happy Stamping!
