Aloha Fun RAK Changed to: Aloha Fun RAK Swappers....

Ok Gang... For those of you that have been following me, and joining in on the Aloha Fun RAK's monthly, I thank you sincerely! It is a fun and enjoyable ride. I am now thinking about "uping" it, and making it MORE fun for all of us. I've created a "group" on Facebook, called "Aloha Fun RAK Swappers". There are going to be a few changes on how I will operate the Aloha Fun RAK monthly. Recently, there has been "no shows" or "misplaced mail" and even "miscommunication" between RAKer's and myself, and so I have decided that I should take more control on how this monthly RAKin' is being handled, as well as changing it to become more like a SWAP. So please hear me out.... here is how it'll work:

• Open to ALL to sign up and join. You don't need a Facebook account if you want to join in, you can just comment on where I post the sign up. However, if you would like to view EVERYONE project created, you will need to sign up with Facebook and join the group.
• There will still be a monthly theme....
  
• You must create 5 of the SAME card.
• Send ALL 5 cards to me, in a plastic bag (ziploc), along with a self address stamped envelope with the stamp being the same amount that you used to mail the entire package to me.
• Please upload your photos to the Facebook Group, so that everyone in the group can view each others projects.
  
• At the time the Swap CLOSES, I will distribute and send out the cards accordingly.
  
• You will receive 5 different cards in return.
  
• Please have the name of the swap written on the outside of the envie, or the inside on a piece of paper.
  

So what do you think?? Wanna join the fun?? I am going to take sign ups NOW, for the month of November - the them is "Giving Thanks". My address and all of this info will be posted on the Facebook Group, so that you can always refer to it in case you've misplace it.

I'm excited about this swap....

Aloha Fun RAK - October Sign Up **OPEN**

Hi Blog! It's already October, and time for another Aloha Fun RAK sign up!! Woooo Hoooo!! The year is going by so quickly, I can't believe how fast that it is going, and October is here already!! First off, before I begin to let everyone know what the theme is for the month of October, I'd like to do a lil' toot toot of myself. Remember I created a card for Tiddly Inks to try for a spot on her web store? Well guess what?? My card was chosen!! I was so thrilled when Christy told me that she had chosen my card, I was really stoked and just so blessed that she had chosen the card that I created. What a blessing, huh?? Here is a screen shot of Tiddly Ink's Store featuring my card sample on the 1st page - you can also click the image to go there live:


Ok, with that being said, I can now tell ya what the theme is for October's Aloha Fun RAK. The theme is to create anything "Tiddly Inks". Now wait a minute... I know you're thinking, "Ya mean I have to buy a Tiddly Ink image, Jen? What is this, some kinda advertising scam??"... my answer is simply, "NO!". My girlfriend, Christy, the owner of Tiddly Inks, creates a Tiddly Inks freebie once a week, and you can use any of these to create your October Aloha Fun RAK creation (if you haven't already fallen in love with them, and purchased a bunch like me!!!). The catch to this is that in order for you to get your freebie(s), you just need to sign up for the Tiddly Inks Paper Craft Planet Group, and you will receive notifications when Christy posts a new freebie - I bet if you went there now, you'll see a freebie that you can download. Otherwise, if you love Christy's work, you can easily access all of her other images on her site, and the BEST thing, is that there is always an ONGOING 20% off discount. Unbelievable!! She's got 100's of selections, and they are just toooo darn cute, I love cute, and I know you do too, and I am sure there is something for each and every one of us out there.

Ok, so now that you know that the theme is for the month of October, now to sign up. Comment here and let me know if you are in. If you are not sure about the Aloha RAK, simply click on the banner above, and you will be taken to the page where I give you all the details of this fun monthly swap thing. Deadline is Friday, October 8th, 2010.
