- The day you receive the box, post a message in the newsgroup and let
us know. Not only will this keep people updated on its progress, but may
also get other people interested in participating.
- At that time, announce the next two names on the mailing list (in
order). The next recipient will have to respond in the group before you
mail. If the next recipient fails to respond, move her name to the bottom
of the list and mail to the second recipient, provided she has responded
to the announcement.
- Participants will be limited to ladies who have been active posters to
the newsgroup for at least 3 months. There will be no "add-on"
participants. They can sign up to participate on the next mailing.
- During the time you have the scrapbox, it should be held in a
non-smoking area. Unless you have an emergency, if you don’t mail the box
within 72 hours, you will not be allowed to participate again. You do not
need to send it UPS or Fed/Ex. The postal service should be sufficient.
Remember that this isn’t supposed to be costly to you.
- To that end, remember to put in ONLY as many items as you take out.
This is with the sensible distinction that if you put in a baggie with 30
teddy bear punchies, it should only count as one item instead of 30. While
lots of extras are nice, in the interest of keeping the shipping cost to a
reasonable amount, please just replace the items you remove and save the
extra items for future rounds of the box.
- Please do not feel you have to go out and buy new items for the box.
"Nearly New" is perfectly acceptable. Of course, the other side of the
coin is also true. Do not simply add in junk items. We all know that small
bits and pieces of paper are the natural by-product of this hobby. We all
have lots of these items. They do not need to be put into the scrapbox.
Only scrapbooking items should be included in the box. Other craft type
materials should be excluded.
- If you have particularly heavy items such as magazines, put a note
stating it is available in the box and remove an item for yourself. Make
sure you include your contact information on the note. When a recipient is
interested in your item, she will contact you for shipment. Remember that
magazines can be sent media rate mail so the additional cost you will
incur will be minimal.
