Posted - Jul 28 2013 : 10:54:43 AM I will be hosting the new RAOK list.
I will need to have emailed to me your name, address if you would like to participate. You can post here that you'd like to join however, I will only be adding to the list those who contact me via email with the above info. This will be open until August 12th. Only those with their info to me by that time will be included. I will email the list to all the participants. Also if you have allergies to anything such as foods, scented items etc. add this to your info please. If you'd like to let us know your hobbies and such you can post those here or add them to your email.
UPDATE:
ROAK Etiquette
I just want to give everyone who is signing up some pointers on how we can make the RAOK swap a successful one that's fun for everyone!
When you sign up, you are agreeing to send a card, letter or a little something to someone on the list. You are not limited to one person as with a regular swap. Send to as many as you would like. This will go on indefinitely.
When you receive a gift, it is always nice to be acknowledged, so it really is imperative that you acknowledge and thank whomever sent you something. I cannot stress this enough! Please do this on the forum even if you send a private email. I expect everyone will have the courtesy to do this. This is the only way the giver will really know that you received whatever they took the time and thought to send you, since not everyone will use delivery confirmation.
That being said, this applies even if the package does have delivery confirmation. Delivery confirmation is only done to make sure the sender knows that the package was received. It is not ok to not acknowledge receiving something even if you assume they know you received it from checking their delivery confirmation.
I know that this may seem a bit much to some, but it is better to go into a swap knowing what is expected of us right from the start. This does not mean you have to send something to everyone on the list, nor does it mean you have to send something to the person who sent something to you.
Also, please do not wait to see if you are going to receive something before you send something out, that is not the point of this swap. We want to encourage and brighten someone else's day, with a RAOK!
I am looking forward to doing this and I hope all who sign up are too! Thanks to all who are participating...it should be lots of fun! ![](icons/icon_smile.gif)
Last and final tip: Bear with me this is the first time I have hosted the RAOK. One other "requirement" and I am only doing this to make things easier for those of us participating, you must be active on the forum.
Thanks to everyone who is joining in I know we will have a great time encouraging and getting to know one another better.

Cathy,
Thank you so much for thinking of me and sending me the link to "Shabby Chic Tiny Retreat"! I love it!!! It reminds me of a little retreat I saw in a MJF magazine sometime back that a lady had fixed almost completely by herself. I can't wait to look through the link...and oh the picket fences and the lace...I love. Have a wonderful day:):):)
Hugs!
