WHAT CAN YOU SHARE THAT IS WINTER/SNOW RELATED?
That is the theme of this year’s swap. Here are a few suggestions and I know you can think of many many more. So much is determined by your own winter/snow experiences:
- Skis
- Ice Skates
- Igloos
- Snowshovels
- Snowglobes
- Ski boots
- Snowboard
- Snowpeople (men,women, kids)
- Warm fireplaces
- Firewood
- Hot chocolate
- Snow hats
- Ear muffs
- Snowshoes
- Mittens
- Snowfort
- Snowballs
- Icicles
- Parka/Jacket
- Sweater
Here are the guidelines for each entry:
1. You can participate one time in each of the scales of swaps (1”, ½”, ¼”), if you want, or you can just enter one scale.
2. Send an email to Barbara Thornton-Hill, bathca@gmail.com to notify her of:
a. Your intent to participate and what scale(s) you will be sending.
b. Your shipping address
3. SIGN UPS WILL CLOSE ON OCTOBER 10TH. Absolutely no entries after Oct 10th, 2025
THE PROCEDURE:
1. Think of what you will make.
2. You will send 11 finished items for each scale of swap you have signed up for. One of these items will be used for future fundraising or Prizes on Create. You will receive back 10 items for yourself. You will not receive your own item back so make an extra for yourself if you want one of your own. Value of your swaps should be between $5.00 and $10.00 if you were buying them at a miniature show or store. Be sure you would want to receive this item yourself as a swap.
3. Place EACH item in a very small bag or box with a label in it. LABEL should contain your name and email. (Recipients like to thank the others for their swap)
Barbara will send you her mailing address when you sign up for the swap. Send your 11 swaps and shipping payment ($7.50) so they will be received by Barbara no later than November 30th. At this time, due to unsure tariffs and shipping prices, we cannot include people outside of the US. We are so sorry about that and hope we can reinstate other countries next year.
4. Shipping Payment can be a check made out to Barbara Thornton-Hill OR Paypal to bathca@gmail.com
5. Deadline (absolutely NO extensions) for receipt of your swap items is November 30, 2025.
Packages need to be small so please make your swap as small as possible.
2025 Swap Coordinator: Barbara Thornton-Hill bathca@gmail.com
PS: If you decide to drop out of the swap, PLEASE let Barbara know.
