You should have already received an email from me with your partner's address information and color preferences. If you haven't seen it, please check for it in your spam folder.

You can link to any of the participants who have blogs to say hello or get to know them better. I'm sure most of them can be reached through their blogs, but if you want or need their email address, just let me know and I'll share it with you.
I have created a special Flickr photo group to post images of your mats (click here to go to the group). When you have completed your mat, please post your photograph of it to the Flickr Mug Mat Swap Group by February 14th. If you don't have a blog, just take a photo and post it to the Flickr group.

Now, just a little more information:
  • Mug Mats should measure 6.5" x 10.5" (They'll fit in a flat rate priority mail envelope.)
  • Feel free to add a little something extra, if you'd like. (Chocolate, unless your partner is allergic, is always a good idea!)
  • Add a note to tell your partner a little about yourself and where you live.
  • Please have your mat mailed no later than February 14th. Earlier is better, especially if you're mailing out of the country because it takes longer to get there. (There are only a couple swap partners who live outside the US)
  • Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.
  • MOST OF ALL...HAVE FUN!!! I love that you're all participating, and hope that your partner will become a new friend if you don't already know them.
If you need a refresher course, you can click here to see the tutorial again. I think that covers everything. Time to pull out your fabrics, trims, and embellishments, and let your creative juices flow! Thanks again to everyone for participating!
