**Specifications for Item(s) ( Theme, Size, Quantity, Colors? )
Since this is a sort of open swap I'd like to keep things equivalent to two cards worth of effort. For instance if you are sending a stamped image, please do three to four depending on whether you are doing embossing for us to color in as we wish, or three if you are doing embossing and finishing them with copics or pencils. Or if you are swapping a paper piecing , please send three.....Since there are so many possibilities I can't list all the equivalencies but I know we all do our best for each other! We can chat to decide if there's someone who comes up with something unique, so let your imagination go!

**Mailing Information ( Mailed To You or Individuals In The Swap )
There is no need to make extras for me, but please put each set into individual bags marked with your name to make sorting easier...also please send a stamped self addressed envelope large enough to accommodate anything that might be swapped like a border! etc.

2010 Night Owls Monthly Swap Rules (Updated 12/25/09)

1. PM or Email Pam, PamInColorado ( pamsgalsndolls@yahoo.com ) the Hostess Specs if you would like to Hostess a Swap or if you need to cancel Hostessing a swap. Please check the Swap List to see what months are available.

2. You must sign up for the monthly swaps by the 30th of the month BEFORE the swap. So, as an example, if you want to participate in the June swap you need to PM or email the Hostess by the 30th of May. We will allow late comers if you promise us pressies...J/K

3. All swap items can be mailed anytime during the month of the swap but must go postal, at the latest, by the last day of the month.

4. Hostess’s will receive double the goodies from each swap member as a Hostess Gift. If there are 10 members of the swap you will make 11 and send 2 to her.

5. You MUST be a Night Owl and on the Night Owls list OR a close friend/relative of a Night Owl to participate. Your close friends/relatives are most welcome to join, HOWEVER, if you vouch for someone, YOU will be responsible for their sends if they do not complete their obligation to the swap.

7. We do not want to open the swaps up to the general Cricut MB public. Lets keep them small and in the Night Owl group so we don’t have any “Flakers”. We all know and trust each other so that shouldn’t be an issue.

8. The most important rules of these swaps are to HAVE FUN and KISS (Keep It Super Simple). The purpose is to use the supplies we already have and not to have to spend a small fortune to be able to participate.

Individual Swap Specifications

April 2009 - Stephanies Punchie Swap - Closed
Punchies swap - Minimum of 6 per design. You can do as few or as many designs per person. Just make sure your designs and colors match up. No pink snowmen or mustard-colored butterflies. Ew. Borders are fine, I think maybe 2 of each at least 6" long per design. This way, they can go on cards or pieced on a page. You can do the same "sets" for everyone or break it up by person if you know someone might like something in particular. (I like dragonflies in bright colors, for example).

You should probably tuck your punchies in a zippy bag before putting them in the envie, just for security.
Anybody else who wants in, please PM me. I might miss it in a post. Deadline for sign up on this one should be Sunday the 12th, I think, in order to get them done and out by the 30th. Is that ok?

PM me with questions, too, if you want. As soon as I have the list together, I'll PM everyone signed up with totals and addies.

October Monthy SWAP

Hi Friends,
I've finally decided on the theme for our October SWAP, and I'm sure you've all figured it out since I was asking who has Cuttlebugs, etc... Anyway I want to host a Embossing/Die Cut SWAP. It'd be great to get some embossed sheets from folders we don't have. If you don't have embossing folders or the ability to emboss then send out die cuts you can make. Which ever you prefer. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions. As with the other SWAPS send all to me with SASE and I'll sort and send out to everyone on the list. PM or email me if you'd like to be in this SWAP. I know it's a bit in the future so no rush.

Valeri

Newsy News

Good Morning Everyone! I just wanted to do a quick post to let everyone know Stephinie (Mimi) got her 2nd Bughead in the Night Owls thread last night so don't forget to congratulate her!! Today Catie is teaching her first class, Cricut 101, and here's hoping it goes well for you Catie. Also Megan's PEA IS WALKING !! Yea Pea!! What a sweetie. Babies are so cute when they first start toddling along. Megan is also getting ready to move into her new house where she will have her own scraproom!! Yea Megan!! Her DH got it painted and it looks soooo good. I am so happy for her.

OK, about this blog. I set it up for the Night Owls to post news, pictures, swaps, basically anything you want to share with other Night Owls. I thought it would be nice for those who aren't able to be in the thread a lot to have a place to come and catch up quick and get swap info etc... In order to be able to post yourself, you just need to PM me your email address and I will send you an email giving you permission to post. If you have any problems figuring it out all you need to do is PM or email me and I will help you.

Tomorrow I am going to take some time and post all the swap info and rules etc... here. So this will be the place to go to find out what swaps are going on what month and info about those swaps such as requirements, Hostesses, being a Hostess etc... So check back tomorrow. OK, I am going to head out to my own craft room and get some work done. You all have a good day and I will see you in the thread!! Hugs, Pam
