Noodle Shuffle Update July 3, 2007

• Noodle Shuffle Update July 3, 2007 - 2007-07-03 14:29:29-04
  Hello Noodle Shuffle Members,
  
  
  The excitement is growing. July first is here and many of the members are ready to GO!
  
  
  The theme this month is International Animals. Noodles need to be 100% COTTON, PRE-WASHED , then cut into strips that are 4 ½ inches by 22 inches. So cut your fabric down the middle, then cut your strips. Out of one yard of fabric you should get 16 noodles.
  
  Every member will send one noodle per person that signs up for the shuffle. Example if 20 people sign up you will need just over a yard of fabric to get 20 noodles. Once the deadline comes for people to sign up we will send out an email letting every one know the exact number of noodles they will need to ship to their Hostess.
  
  Once the final head count is out, you are more than welcome to ship your noodles and return envelope to your Hostess. Please wait for the final head count before shipping, donÂ't want anyone to have to ship twice. When you mail your Noodles please send an email to your Hostess letting her know they are in the mail so she can mark it in her records and keep an eye out for them.
  
  The Hostess will then sort the noodles and the ones that are being shipped over seas will be shipped out by the 1st of August exchanged then sorted to be shipped back out to the noodle members by the 10th of the month.
  
  Today the head count is 27-28 so our suggestion is 2 yards of fabric and that will leave 4 noodles for people that sign up late. We will not go over the 2 yards! WHY are we waiting until the first to ship back? If all noodles are in before this date we will go ahead and do the exchanging, but if not this is a fail-safe date for you to expect your noodles.)
  
  Now for the exciting news!!!
  
  Since every one has been so patient waiting for the shuffle to start we have decided the deadline for sign up will be on the 7th of July!! On July 8th I will send out an email with the final head count and then you can get your noodles in the mail. WHY? We thougth we would go ahead and start the shuffle so that any sudden mailing kinks can be worked out and stay on track for the shuffle in August.
  
  Your Noodle Shuffle Hostess will be incontact with you to give out her mailing information. So keep an eye out for that in your email!!
