Zombies on Vacation!!!


 


I felt it was a good time to announce a new zombie doll swap!!! 

             "ZOMBIES ON VACATION" 


I've wanted to do a "vacation" themed zombie doll swap for awhile and think summer is a great time because vacations are on everybody's mind.  One thing, vacations include all seasons!  Think of all the fun places we have all gone....even "staycations" can be a blast.  One of my favorite places to go is the local zoo and aquarium.....

You get the idea so here is what we are swapping: 


1.)You will create one vacation themed zombie doll from your partner's choice list and then add 3 tuck ins (goodies) to round out the package.  

2.)The tuck ins can be handmade, purchased, thrifted, re-gifted, etc. as long as they are clean and undamaged. 
*Please check out the answers to your partner's list to help you out.

3.)The doll needs to be handmade and at LEAST 6 inches in height/length.  Given that summer flies, premade blank doll forms are acceptable to use as a base but you must hand make all the details and elements that make it into a zombie.  I found some at Joann's and Hobby Lobby.
If you have questions, ask!

This is a USA swap only.
The sign up by date is April 16th so I can announce partners right after Easter.  (I retain the right to close the swap early if I choose so please don't wait to join up.)

Ship date is June 11th so the dolls can arrive to their new homes before the official start of SUMMER!  Feel free to ship earlier but I’m pushing the shipping deadline due to people going  on vacations😂

If you want to join leave a comment here and then email me at valpowery(at) yahoo(dot)com with the answers to these questions:

1. Name and address
2. List of 3 favorite vacations for your partner to choose 1 from. 
3. Choose either "creepy" or "cute" style
4. Small list of things you collect 
5. Small list crafts/hobby items you like to keep handy in your stash
(#4 and 5 will help with tuck in goodies.)

Please note:

My swaps are made to encourage creativity, not bust the bank.  That being said, your package should equate to about $30.00 before shipping.  
Please create a zombie doll that you feel certain your partner will adore and wrap it up in tissue. 
Also, be careful when wrapping items for shipping so they don't get damaged.  No one wants a busted up Zombie package. 
When shipping, I suggest using tracking and make note of the date mailed.  If the doll does not arrive within 10 business days of shipping, you will be responsible for making and sending a NEW zombie doll package.  
As always, thanks for participating and feel free to use the badge to help spread the word!
