or all that have showed interest I have PM you. But anyone else that wants to be involved details are below.
So far we have 35 people that want to take part. Very exciting. So anyone please join in, It will be fun and exciting. :dance:

BEAR AND CRITTER SWAP

Thanks to everyone that has been interested in a bear swap. The bear swap is going ahead. Please copy and paste form below and email it to me wazzabears@bigpond.com . No later than the 10th Nov. Once all forms are in I will email you, your swap partners name, address and email. You must make contact asap.

The swap will happen in sections: Hobbyist and Professional, and 6inch -under, 7 inch to 13 inch and 14inch – over. This will be drawn from a hat.
If we get enough people I can add another section on what type of bears you collect.
The DEADLINE for postage will be 28th Feb 2009. You must be able to post international and via Airmail 5- 10 day delivery. (Not snail mail that takes 2 months). You can insure your bear BUT you need to communicate with your partner about that and you both agree to do so. You pay for the postage to send your bear to your partner.
You must stay in regular communication with you partner and MUST SEND BEAR ON THE SAME DAY.
If you put down you make 14inch - over you must stick to that and not make a mini bear.
This bear must be made especially for your partner and not one that has been sitting around waiting to be sold.
When you fill in the form you are agreeing to stick by the rules I have put in place. By not doing so you will get a call from me and as I live the other side of the planet it will be in the middle of the night. Please don’t disappoint. It’s only fair. ENJOY!!! When bears start arriving, Please let me know and I will start a new topic on TT and we can show off our bears. THANKS EVERYONE.
