KEEP IT SIMPLE SWAP: HOT PAD RULES General Swap Requirements: Each swapper is required to send ONE COTTON HOT PAD. No additional items may be included in your swap package. We're keeping it simple--send just the one item and nothing else.Potholders must be made of cotton, as cotton is not flammable, and acrylic will melt. Swap Dates: This swap starts 8 September 2014 and ends 15 October 2014. All packages must be received by the ending date, so the mailing deadline for this exchange is 8 October 2014. All packages MUST be in the mail by 8 October 2014 (mailing deadline). Remember: Crochetville admin limits Villagers to two swaps at one time. If you are already signed up for two swaps, one must be completed before the KISS Potholder swap starts for you to be eligible to swap. See the Swap Guidelines. A swap will count as completed if you have mailed your final package and delivery confirmation information shows your package has been received OR your swap partner has posted a thank-you in the swap thread. GUIDELINES: Here are the rules. Please read them thoroughly before signing up. 1. Please submit a survey if you want to participate in this exchange.

You will receive a confirmation email when your survey is received, and your username will be added to the list of swappers posted below. Surveys can be submitted until 4 p.m. EST on 5 September 2014. 2. It is not required that you answer all the questions on the survey (except for name, address, and Crochetville nickname, etc.), but it is a good way for your partner to know your other preferences: favorite color, allergies, etc. 3. By submitting a swap survey, you agree to follow all Swap Guidelines and general forum guidelines. 3. Partner assignments will be e-mailed to you by 8 Septmber 2014.

E-mail the coordinator, Janet at auntbubbELs at nyc dot rr dot com, when you receive your partner information at the start of the swap, and when you send and receive your exchange item(s) so that she can keep record of who sent and received. This is in addition to posting to the swap thread that you mailed or received. Lots of messages are posted to the swap thread daily. Please don’t make the swap coordinator go through all those messages to see if you sent/received your package!!!Remember, these emails are now required of all Crochetville swappers! Failure to do so will result in the accumulation of reputation points. 5. Please thank your partner for their thoughtfulness when you receive your package. It will make his or her day. **Thank-you’s MUST be posted on the swap thread, but you can post links to your blog forphotos, etc., if you choose. Thank-you’s are REQUIRED!!**Please also thank your partner personally with a private email, as well as a post to the swap thread. The private thank-you lets your partner know that their package has been received, and the public thank-you lets the other swappers know what you received and adds to everyone’s enjoyment of the exchange. Both public and private thank-you’s are required. 6. Make sure your postage and receiver's address are correct before mailing. Mark your package with Crochetville KISS Potholder. Do not forget that delivery confirmation (or other proof of shipping) is required whenever it is available, and the delivery confirmation must be emailed to the swap coordinator.

If your package is not postmarked by the Mailing Deadline of 8 October 2014, you will be subject to the consequences listed in the Swap Guidelines. Please contact the swap coordinator BEFORE the mailing deadline passes if there is a problem. 9. Since we are an international group, everyone is more than welcome to participate. That means that your exchange partner may live across the world and packages may take longer to arrive and cost more to ship. Keep this in mind when mailing items. 10. Most importantly, have fun!
