SWAP RULES:
The Recipe Swap is a monthly swap where we have either 2 or 3 partners and we share recipes by (snail) mail. It is great fun and an excellent way of getting to know some of the people on the Taste of Home board.
Some ladies buy recipe cards and other make them on the computer. At the end of this email I will include a list of Recipe Card making web sites.
Now I will post the rules so you can get a feel for the swap.
1) You will send to each partner, 5 recipes (they can be hand written, typed, printed from the computer, etc.)
(2) You will send to each partner, 5 BLANK recipe cards (they can be any size, and either blank or printed). [For those of you who do not use the blank recipe cards, you can always pass them along to future swap partners as your 5 blank cards, so please don't feel that you don't want to participate because you don't need blank recipe cards.]
(3) All of your mailings must be done on or before the 15th of the current month . That way, it will give the USPS at least 2 full weeks to deliver the packages to your partners.
(4) I will post a "sent" thread if you want to post the day that you send so your partner will have an idea of when to expect their recipes. This is fun since we only post the state it is being sent to and we don't know our partner's names. It will also work to guesstimate arrival.
(5) I will post a "received" thread where you can thank you partner and let them know they arrived, since they will be anxiously awaiting confirmation that you received them. It only takes a minute to say thank you to your partner and it means a great deal to them to know you received your recipes, so please remember to thank your partners.
(6) Lastly, I understand that life happens and if for some reason you can't send or you know you will be late in sending for an unexplained reason, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP.
If I have to send out emails on three separate occasions to find out whether or not you've sent your recipes or not then you will be suspended from the swap for 3 months. I understand that sometimes you cannot do it for whatever reason, but at least let me know so that your partner and I are not left wondering what's happening. If, after you are allowed to return to the swap, I have to send out emails on 3 more occasions then you will be dropped from the swap.
That is about it! We also ask that you do not post the Recipes you receive in the swap on the Taste of Home board as some of the ladies send out the same recipes every month. If requested, I can keep track of who you mail to and let you know when you have gone through the list in case you want to change your recipes.
I need your BB name, your real name and your mailng address. I also need to know if you would like 2 or 3 partners.
You can email me at TOH.Recipe.Swap at gmail dot com and put Recipe Swap sign ups in the subject line.
Here is the list of Recipe Card making sites.
