Zombies CRASH "The Order of Legendary Figures" Board Meeting!!!

 Here is what we are swapping: 

1.)You will create one Legendary Figure 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 before getting the tuck ins!

3.)The doll needs to be handmade and at LEAST 6 inches in height/length.   I have approved premade blank doll forms which are available 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.  One swapper asked if she could alter a regular doll and again, I'm okay with it...but it must be a different creation from it's "former self."  (If you have questions, ask!)

This is a USA swap only.
The sign up by date is April 13th so I can announce partners the following weekend.  (I retain the right to close the swap early if I choose so please don't wait to join up.)

Ship date is June 1st!  Feel free to ship earlier but PLEASE ship no later than 6/1/24 because our FALL swap is announced in August!

Please note if an "angel" swap is needed for any reason other than crisis, that swapper will not be invited back.  An "angel" is someone other than the original partner who graciously steps in to fulfill the swap. 

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. Include phone if you would like text updates. 

2. List of 3 favorite Legendary Figures for your partner to choose 1 character from.   

List of Legendary Figures are:  Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost, Santa Claus, Cupid, Baby New Year, Mother Nature, Father Time, The Grim Reaper, The Great Pumpkin, The Easter Bunny, Uncle Sam,  Leprechaun, Thanksgiving Turkey, The Sandman.  Most are considered icons for our major holidays, along with other icons associated with childhood.

3. Choose either "creepy" or "cute" style.

4. Small list of things you love to collect.

5. Small list of hobbies you need "supplies" for or to add to your "stash."

Please note:

My swaps are made to encourage creativity, not bust the bank.  That being said, your package should equate to a minimum of $30.00 before shipping.  

Please create a zombie doll that you feel certain your partner will adore and then 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!

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.
