Description:

Another fab idea from Rea, this will be a swap along the lines of the Animal Adoption packs you can get for charities!

You will have ONE (1) partner, and you will send them an adoption certificate (A5 size is fine, no smaller), and a profile of your pet/pets (your choice if you would like to include more than one - A5 paper, at least ONE side) with a picture or two. This profile could include things like name, birthday, home, favourite treats, hobbies...!!!

Your partner, and their pet would also like to recieve a short note (greeting card/notecard is fine) from your pet, and perhaps a nice little treat for your partners pet to munch on!

Adoption packs usually also contain a little cuddly toy of the animal you are adopting; something around 3 inches in size.

Use your imagination; make it a nice little Adoption Pack!

If we can, try to fit everything in an 8x10 padded envie - please accept that some pages may need to be folded!

No 1s or unexpalined 3s please - I will check profiles before assigning partners.

AmaranthSpirit 01/17/2011 #

reauk 01/19/2011 #

bit worryed on the adoption certificate how to make one lol

zorropirate 01/19/2011 #

Just think of the certificates that came with our cabbage patch kids! Google for images to manipulate or for inspiration!

reauk 01/19/2011 #

AmaranthSpirit 01/19/2011 #

I can proboably find some template ideas for you if you need... but if you have microsoft word, I think there's a template in there already... :-)

reauk 01/21/2011 #

AmaranthSpirit 02/ 2/2011 #

reauk 02/ 6/2011 #

AmaranthSpirit 02/ 6/2011 #

OK, let me have a think and see what I can do...! I have changed the dates a bit too. Is there anyone you can ask to print something out for you?

reauk 02/ 7/2011 #

put it on my watch rejoin later date lucy...

zorropirate 02/17/2011 #

I am quite excited to put this one together!! I found the inspiration item yesterday when I was doing errands! WOOHOO!!! :P

reauk 02/21/2011 #

cant do a cerficate my printer doesnt work any ideas pretty annoyed?

AmaranthSpirit 02/22/2011 #

you could try and draw one up - it doesn't have to be too fancy... i'll look for some ideas for you :-)

zorropirate 02/22/2011 #

You can totally draw one up, they aren't that detailed. If you had some rubber stamps you could embellish it up, or if you were game you could carve some apples or potatoes up to make a pattern to use as the boarder. :P

reauk 02/26/2011 #

dont have any stamps... dont know any one to print me one off bummer wanted to join.

AmaranthSpirit 02/27/2011 #

I'm extending the dates for this swap a bit, I was hoping for some more interest...

Rea I can print something off for you and post it out if you want to join...

kittenred 02/27/2011 #

can also carve rubbers/erasers to make stamps or use cookie cutters dipped in ink / paint. or if you wanted stencils you could use card from a cereal box to make one. and if you live in the UK, 'the works' shops are selling cube shaped foam stamps for 59p each. (they have 5 different shapes on them, on on each side, like flowers, hearts, balls, etc. meant for children but no reason why grown-ups couldn't use them then draw on to it after wards to make it more sophisticated) I use children's craft kits all the time, especially from pound shop, nice cheap way to get things like beads and sequins.

reauk 02/27/2011 #

cheers lucy that be great.

kittenred 02/27/2011 #

got my certificate and 'fact file' all made up now... just need to find a toy that looks like my dog.

reauk 02/27/2011 #

im not a arty person ...have problems with my hands ...

kittenred 02/28/2011 #

then the larger stamps for children would be good for you, easier to grip. if not you can always write on lucy's mock-up certificate and stick a photo on it to finish it off. or email her a photo and info for it so she can make the full certificate up for you.

winniethepooh 03/18/2011 #

Hi Rea I'm not realy arty but it is fun to join in, Im not very good at stamping.
