September KIAE Swap/Challenge-Bringing in the Harvest

[Looser]

Looks like my cohost (& pal) April will not be able to host our Sept. fun-for-all.  Here's hoping she'll be back with us when she's able, but that means I'm your host for Sept. 

Let's start with deadlines... Sept. 30 is the deadline for uploading projects to the Sept. KIAE Album

Envelope size: Whatever you put in your kit must be in a regular envelope. 4x9 or 5x7--one envelope per kit. No special envelopes (padded, etc.

Kit contents: You must include a minimum of 3 stamped images in your kit and each image must be stamped at least twice. You must make 2 identical kits. One to keep & one to send. Otherwise you are free to put anything you wish in your envvelopes.

Project requirements: You will make & share a minmum of 2 projects--one from your kept kit & one from your received kit. The 'required' projects must employ at least 3 items from the kit. Additional projects are permitted & need not employ the 3 items or be subject to the 'theme'.

Theme: The required projects' theme is 'Harvest'. Up to you to interpret the theme & you're free to build your kit using the theme.

Mailing addresses: If you don't have a mailing address for your swapmate, contact them via PM.

If I've neglected any vital info please let me know. All updates & such will be provided in this OP.

Update Since our theme is Harvest and lots of us have been posting on recipes' threads, I propose that we each make one of our required projects to include a recipe as a part of it. Zucchini bread, anyone?

Swapmates:

Looser > LeighAnn
LeighAnn > SWLady
SWLady > Sadie
Sadie > Neysa
Neysa > Craftnerd
Craftnerd > Heidi

Most of us already have mailing addresses for one-another. If you need an address for someone, PM them, please.

Yay for KIAE!  Boo that CG won't be able to join us. 

I am in.  I like the Harvest theme.  As soon as Labor Day comes and goes, I am all ready for Fall things. 

Thanks for hosting, Looser.

[Craft Nerd]

You have until Sept. 30 to sign up for the swap. Swapmates will be posted by Sept. 2.

I assume you mean we have until August 30 to sign up.

Sign me up.

Count me in. I have the perfect scarecrow image somewhere for this one. Love the harvest theme.

Thanks,
Neysa

Daniel- thanks for hosting for us. Much appreciated.

[CarefreeSadie]

Thank you for hosting Looser.  I sure wish everybody would heal up so Carribeangirl could join us again. 

Sign me up and I will see how this goes!  LOL

[Looser]

Thanx for catching my goof, Sarah. I fixed the sign up date.

Fall is my favorite season & 'Harvest' just seems like a good theme.

Nice to see all of the sign ups. Now's a good time to start gathering (harvesting) what you'll put in your kit. And it's just fine to add a few things that might not immediately make you think of Fall or Harvest. Gotta keep us on our toes, eh?

Although we have a theme, I did not put in any other curve balls. So let me ask y'all, "Would you like a curve ball for at least one of the required projects"?

[SWLady]

Ooo, count me in too! I love fall/harvest! I think I can find stuff to make a kit like that 

[Craft Nerd]

Hmm, a curve ball from Daniel.     That could be either a lot of fun or really scary.    I'll be brave and say sure to a curve ball.

[lovepug2]

Ooh, sign me up please!

Thank you for hosting Daniel. I'm so sorry to hear that Apri is still recovering and her mother isn't doing well.
I hope she will be back with us soon. Good thoughts and prayers are headed her way.

[Looser]

Terrific! With SWLady & Pug we currently have 7 swappers!

I have a 'fun' project curve ball in mind. I'll update the OP. 

[Craft Nerd]

Cool curve ball.  I actually have a pumpkin pie recipe stamp.   

[neyw]

ideas, ideas, ideas.  Gotta love Dave for making me think hard.

[Looser]

ideas, ideas, ideas.  Gotta love Dave for making me think hard.

LOL, Neysa. Tell 'Dave' that Daniel says "hello".

Glad y'all seem to like the recipe 'curve'. I have a few ideas for how I might deal with the requirement--preprinted recipe cards or ones cut from food packaging (boxes & cans) is looking very attractive at this time. And... 'recipes' needn't necessarily be food-related. 

[CarefreeSadie]

Question?  Do I need to include a recipe in my sent envelope?  I have no idea how that is supposed to work.  Are the things I send then supposed to be harvest-cooking based?  Questions questions questions!  LOL
