Paper Doll Swap

Welcome!
 I am so happy you decided to join in and play dolls with us!
 This swap is dedicated to creating homemade paper dolls to swap out with other paperdoll lovers around the world. You need not be a "perfect" doll maker,but please,try your best,follow the guidelines (only a few)and most of all,have fun!

Every other month(or monthly-will take a vote on this) we will have a new theme doll and after all joining names are received,I will partner you up and give you your partners mailing address. Please remember this is open worldwide, so you may have a partner in another country. 

This swap is NOT a mandatory month to month, please feel free to jump in and out when you can. ") 

We all have issues come up in life, but if you a no show with no warning,you will not be invited back to swap. This I have to be strict with in fairness and out of respect for the others who are playing. Thank you for understanding~ 
******************************************************************************

Up next are a few guidelines and go-overs below.

• Please read all of these and before signing up,leave your name as well as "I agree" in the comments below.
•  Dolls must adhere to current theme for the swap
• Please mail out 1 week before due date,and email your partner when your dolly goes out in the mail. Wrap her/him gently,so as not to get beat up by the postal service.
• Please remember there may be first timers here. Be encouraging and helpful.
• Depending on the number of swappers, you may get the same partner at some point.

• On the back of your doll,please be sure to write:

1. Doll's name
2. Theme
3. Artist's name~you!
4. Date

 I have created a Pinterest board which I will send you an invitation to once we begin swapping.
