It's been a good long while since we've done an exchange. Anyone in the mood?

            In general, there are a lot of administrative duties, and you will have to determine a mode and a theme

            Administering an exchange:
            - determine the mode of exchange/trade (see below)
            - determine the theme of the exchange/trade (see below)
            - set dates, timeline, and procedures
            - announce the exchange and solicit participants
            - conduct the exchange
            - post deadline reminders in the tribe, and email reminder to participants
            - ask for feedback from participants when it is over
            - have participants post photos in the albums on tribe

            Choose a mode of exchange/trade:

            - 20 things: Each participants makes 20 of something, and mails one to each of the 19 other participants on the list, keeps one for himself
            - Hub: each participant makes 20 of something, signs/tags their own and mails them all to the administrator. Include a postage paid return envelope. The administrator sorts a packet for each participant and mails a set of 20 to each participant.
            - Round Robin: a participant makes one thing and mails it to one participant on the list (assigned by administrator). in exchange, they receive one thing from a different participant
            - Exchange: a participant makes one thing and mails it to their partner (assigned by administrator), the partner mails them something in exchange

            Themes:
            - cards: each participant makes a card
            - color: have each participant make something, anything, in the assigned color
            - medium: have each participant make something in the assigned medium (paint, clay, yarn, beads, etc)
            - or any other ideas you might have

            Good luck!

              lobo you're wonderful!

              I went to see your blog and can see now what some of your friends mean by the ultimate organiser - I've got an apartment needs sorting out - fancy a trip to the UK? *wink*

              Right - I'm going to have a think about this and come up with something - I hope there are enough people on here to do this...
              *hugs and have a great rest of your week*

    I would love to. I signed up for this a couple years back, then it kind of fizzled. Glad to see I found it again. Are there any limitations on what the things are? I work in a wide variety of media.
