If you would like someone to share your scrapbooking accomplishments with personally.... someone to encourage you to do more pages, someone to exchange little gifts of encouragement with.... and best of all, someone from our wonderful OZ newsgroup to get to know better... Join the OZsome Scrapbooking Sister (OZss) Swap.

The following guidelines have been established to help keep the swap organized and hopefully assuage hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

1. Commit to uplifting your OZsome sister at least once each month during a three-month session with a surprise gift.  Problems may arise from time to time.  If you cannot meet this commitment, send your OZsome Monitor (Monitor) e-mail.   The important thing is to let your Monitor know as soon as possible.  Hopefully, this will eliminate someone from having hurt feelings or being left out.  Note: Feel free to send little surprises more often, but send something at least once a month.  If after one month your OZss has not received/ heard anything from you, a friendly reminder will be sent to you.  If no action is taken, the Monitor will assign a new sister and your participation in this session will end.
2. Items must be sent via "Snail" mail. In other words, gifts must arrive at your OZss's  home or mailing address.  You may also send e-mail, postcards, greeting cards, virtual flowers, real flowers, chocolate, recipes, messages, etc.
3. THANKS.  PLEASE thank your OZss for EVERYTHING you receive.  You may post these messages directly on the newsgroup and/or you may thank them with personal e-mail.
4. If at any time you wish to end your participation, notify your OZss and the Monitor immediately.
5. Your Monitor will do her best to match you with another scrapbooker who shares your interests, scrapbooking level and is in the same gift range, however, the Monitor reserves the right to match scrapbookers without regard to criteria.  If the match is not acceptable, contact Monitor as soon as possible.  Your OZsome sister will also have you for and OZsome sister.
6. Have fun and enjoy!
