        Come on, everyone! Tomorrow’s Saturday… I’ll be drawing the names on Sunday morning (after dutifully sleeping in and having a decadent breakfast).

        PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU SIGN UP! It’s long, but pretty much exhaustive.

        The rules have changed a bit this time around: rather than a β€œdue date”, we’ll have a β€œship date”, meaning everyone will be mailing their painted piece on this date. Yes, we’ll have a whole bunch of pictures coming up all at once, but this will help avoid people falling short.

        The ship date is March 10.

        Prior to this date, so on February 29, I will send out a message to everyone, asking if the piece is ready. You will need to respond to me, with a picture of your piece, before March 6. If I do not get a response from you by that date, I will consider you out of the swap. In all, that’ll be a full 5 weeks to paint your piece.

        Once I do get a response – and herein lies my sneekiness – I will respond to you with the address of the person for whom you painted. That’s right! Once I’ve picked the names out of the hat, at first, I will only be sending you the forum name and color scheme of your swapee. That way, no one will mail out ahead of time and create confusion.

        If people do not respond, I will reshuffle – hence the picture of the piece. I’ll match the existing pieces as best as I can. Hopefully, I won’t need to do it at all.

        TO SIGN UP: you need to email me at dragonmedley@myfirehawk.ca. No PMs, please. It will make things much easier to manage. The sign-up is open until January 19. On the 20th, I will draw the names and email them to you.

        Make sure your forum name is the first thing in the subject line.
        Example: Dragonmedley – PYO swap/Sign me up/etc.
        I can work in alphabetical order like that; much easier to track everyone.

        I will need the following information:
        1. Your full name and address
        2. Indicate if you’re willing ship worldwide. We have members in the US, Canada, Switzerland, Finland, Iceland, UK…
        3. What you want. For example, colors or theme, the sculpt, if you have a preference. If you want a Muse, indicate it. Otherwise, we’ve agreed that the Muse will not be used.

        A few more rules to remember:
        β€’ You are responsible for buying a blank PYO and mailing it. In return, you will receive a painted piece.
        β€’ The person for whom you’re painting will more than likely not be painting for you. This in not an outright trade, but more like a β€œsecret Santa” exchange.
        β€’ If you’re shipping outside your country, make the value 10$; otherwise, the person will probably have to pay duties, even if you indicate that the package is a gift.
        β€’ We’ll have a big enough group, so I think I’ll be able to accommodate everyone. So, if you’re allergic to painting griffins, tell me. Same if you only want to paint a unicorn. However, don’t ask to have so-and-so paint your piece! This will be totally random. I will refer back to the previous swaps so you won’t be painting for the same person again (if you’ve participated before), but otherwise, what comes out of the hat is it.
        β€’ It may be redundant, but make sure you double-box the piece when you send it.
        β€’ Last but not least, do not post pictures, not even in your gallery, before the person gets the piece. When you receive your piece, please acknowledge it right away in the thread (I’ll create one separately from the sign-up thread). If you can, post pictures. If you can’t, mention it, and the person who painted it will more than probably be happy to post pictures.

        I FORGOT: Don’t forget to sign the felt pad!!!!!

              I like this method! It all but eliminates anyone not getting a piece and those that don’t finish their piece don’t get one! Very cool.

                      Maybe the next round. My bf bought two PYO pieces for me but they haven’t arrived yet and I need to get new paints.

                          That’s weird… It worked for the 6 other emails. Did you rekey or did you copy/paste? Try again and if it still give you attitude, PM me.

                            Some people will be placing an order just for the swap (I’m one of those), so you can still be in. There’s plenty of time!

                                  I just started to enter the emails I got so far; I’ve replied to confirm.
