Joining the Next SwapGeneral Information: When 25 people have confirmed an interest in joining, we will bundle all the names and addresses into one email and forward that to all parties. You will then have a chance to discuss the new group among yourselves, choose a "list mom" if you feel you need one, and possibly set up a Yahoo group to share photos. To confirm that you'd like to be a part of the next group, please fill out this form. By sending this information, you are agreeing that it's okay for us to send your name, postal address, and email address to the other members of your group. We only collect names and addresses until we have a group of 25; as soon as your group is started, we'll delete your information to protect your privacy. It goes without saying, of course (but we'll say it anyway), that we do not rent, sell, give away,
trade or share your information with anyone for any reason. You won't receive any emails from us except the
one acknowledging your information and the later one with your group's names and addresses. Group #46 is filled as of April 20, 2008. Confirmed for Group #47: 20 members as of May 11, 2008 What are the group's rules? You will make those decisions, but here's how we did it. For Art2Mail, every member agrees to send a postcard to every other member sometime prior to the agreed-upon deadline. For a group of 25, that means that each person will make and mail 24 cards and receive 24. A deadline of three to six months after the group starts is usually a good goal; this is long enough to allow everyone time to make cards, but not so long that anyone forgets about it. The cards you send out can be all alike, all different, or some mixture of the two. I personally tend to make mine in batches of 5 or 6 that are similar but not identical -- maybe five with leaves on them, then five with flowers. That keeps my creativity fresh and I don't get bored making the same thing over and over. How do you make a card? There is a great illustrated step-by-step instruction page by Deb Richardson (not a member of our group) that will tell you all you need to know. Stop by and tell Deb I said Hi. :) The most important rule, though, is have fun! Thanks for asking about joining a group, and I hope you find it as much fun as I have over the past several years. |
