[lace] 2016 Arachne Bookmark Exchange

[Lin Hudren]

All Exchange Partners have been assigned and emails sent out.  If you
signed up and did not receive notice of your partner, please contact me
personally (linhud...@gmail.com).  I may have typed your email address
incorrectly but I can "reply" to you accurately if I know.



I found during the holidays that there is such a thing in the USA of a
"global stamp" which last year cost $1.15 which I request for my cards and
bookmarks to mail out overseas.  Just ask for it rather than have them make
you fill out the forms or even "weigh" the envelope.  I use a card as
padding for them.  These go for one regular stamp intercontinental as well.



If you still wish to participate, contact me and I will work it out.



I do hope you have fun.  Please let me know if your partner has not yet
been responsive and remember to send photos to Jenny Brandis at
je...@brandis.com.au.  To see why we share our photos with Jenny, check
these out:  http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2012bookmarks/index.html or

 Thank you.  Enjoy
and happy lacemaking.  Thank you for participating.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Wow, what a wonderful response so far and many days yet to join in the
fun.  I wish to thank those who have been responsive so far for your faith
in me doing the job.  I hope many more of you will join in the fun.  There
is nothing like the sense of accomplishment for making a project happen.
Bookmarks are treasures in life and bring smiles to all who use and/or
admire them and share the pleasure of a gift from afar with those near.



If you are curious, you can go to:
http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2012bookmarks/index.html or
http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2013bookmarks/index.html or
http://brandis.com.au/arachne/2015bookmarks/index.html to view previous
years' exchanges.  There are many more browsing opportunities for ideas
and/or just to drool and get inspired.  Jenny graciously devotes her time
and energy to allowing all of us to see what, as a group, we
accomplish.  If you have not signed up yet, come join in the fun.



As a reminder, this year the schedule will go like this:

March 1-18   Sign Ups

March 20  Exchange partner assignments made and emailed out

June 1  All bookmarks should be in the mail (receipt by 7-10 days
after this)



Same rules apply as the previous bookmark and card exchanges:  send in
name, snail mail address, email address, how many bookmarks you want to
make and any geographical preferences to me at *linhud...@gmail.com
*.  After making your bookmark(s) please take a
picture and email directly to Jenny Brandis (je...@brandis.com.au) who once
again is a dear heart and will be posting all on her web site or to me (
linhud...@gmail.com).  If you wonder if your partner was able to send in a
photo of her bookmark to you, just send one upon receipt and Jenny will
make sure everyone is represented.



If you have any questions or preferences, please feel free to email me at
linhud...@gmail.com.

This is just too much fun for one person to take by themselves.  Come take
a bit of it for yourself.  Happy lacemaking.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Hello Everyone.



Firstly, I would like to thank all those participants in the bookmark
exchange last year as it was rushed and everyone managed to make it
happen.  So, this year I am compensating by stretching it out a bit
longer.  We had an awesome turnout which just adds to the wonderfulness of
Aracheans.  Let's let the fun begin again.



This year the schedule will go like this:

March 1-18   Sign Ups

March 20  Exchange partner assignments made and emailed out

June 1  All bookmarks should be in the mail (receipt 7-10 days
after this)



Same rules apply as the previous bookmark and card exchanges:  send in
name, snail mail address, email address, how many bookmarks you wish to
make and any geographical preferences to me at *linhud...@gmail.com
*.  After making your bookmark(s) please take a
picture and email directly to Jenny Brandis (je...@brandis.com.au) who once
again is a dear heart and will be posting all on her web site and/or to me (
linhud...@gmail.com) and I will forward to her.  If you wonder if your
partner was able to send in a photo of her bookmark to you, just send a
photo upon receipt and Jenny will make sure everyone is represented
accordingly.  We will be following up to make sure we get photos of all of
them so if you think you will have a problem, just let me know.  Thanks.



Last year Jenny updated all the patterns submitted to her on the bookmark
and card exchange web pages.  If you submit your pattern to her, I am sure
she will be most happy to add that to the accumulation from over the
years.  These are much appreciated for inspiration and eye candy.  Thank
you.



Any problems, just let me know.  If you are going to be late, please let
your partner and myself know.  If you have to drop out for some reason,
please personally contact me (linhud...@gmail.com) as soon as possible so I
can ensure everyone has a partner.  Thank you.


If this is your first time or you are participating for an additional time,
you are going to have lots of fun.  Any type of lace and pattern is
appropriate.  Any skill level is welcome.  This is creative license at its
best.  Don't be shy.  This is your time to shine.

Thanks and enjoy as much as I plan to.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali
