Yarnigras! Annual Zombie Doll Swap!!!!

                                                                 



SURPRISE!   I'm hosting my annual Zombie Doll Swap a little early this year!  Feel free to spread the word!!!  

Can you believe I've been hosting Halloween/Zombie swaps for 12 years?  I'm sort of blown away.  I have made so many good friends through this old blog!!!  Okay, so on to the announcement, this year the theme is:

                    "MAD MAD MAD MEN ZOMBIES"


I've wanted to do a "Mad Men" style zombie doll swap for ages simply because my husband was in advertising so we watched (and loved) the show!  I finally decided this year is the year. Can you just see Don Draper as a zombie?  I mean, with the sheer amount of booze in his system, he already walked like one!

Here is what we are swapping: 


1.)You will create one cocktail/beverage themed zombie doll, complete with cocktail or beverage and then add a minimum of 3 tuck ins to round out the package.  

2.)Tuck ins need to be Zombie/Halloween/Cocktail/Beverage themed in nature.  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 is designer's choice this time.  It needs to be handmade and at LEAST 6 inches in height/length.  REMEMBER that the COCKTAIL is the main event here so it needs to be part of the doll.

This is a USA swap only.
The sign up close date is July 30th so I can announce partners that weekend or the first week of August.  I retain the right to close the swap early if I choose so please don't wait to join up.

Ship date is September 11th so the dolls can arrive to their new homes by the 1st week of October.

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 cocktails/beverages for your partner to choose 1 from. 
3. Colors you decorate with for Halloween 
4. Choose either "creepy" or "cute" style
5. List what you decorate with at Halloween
6. List any things you collect for Halloween/Fall for "tuck in" ideas.

Please read:

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 Halloween colors. 
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!
