Can it be just a Corel Illustration...or does it have to an actual manufactured somethin'-er-uhther? And how do you submit the "panel"? I'm assuming were talking computer files here...I hope Mr. Lambie doesnt have to ship us a "panel" all the way from Scotland. Aye, laddie? The freight would be outrageous! lol.

Yup a panel is a real sign, thought up in someone's head and heart and made with their own two hands. It's not too late to get on board! love....jill

Laura, there are only two weeks left in the swap. If you still want to make a panel, you are welcome to join in. There is a full description of how the swap is being handled at the introduction. Basically, a person becomes a participant by making a panel to swap and sends me a digital photo file, (or otherwise produced .jpg reproduction of the panel) and their mailing address. It's first come first served from there. If a person has become a participant and is waiting for a swap partner, they get the next participant finished as a swap partner. Once I have a pair of participants I send via email, each in the pair, their respective mailing information. When you each receive you panels & email me a confirmation that you have received your swap panel, I will post a link to the pics so everyone can share in the fun.
I have received a request from one person to extend the deadline. Ok, I'll give you all until October 14th. That will give any folks just getting started four weeks to get a panel finished. That should be plenty of time. This will be the only extension. So the official end shall occur 11:59 pm. October 14, 2004 in whatever time zone you are in. Please try and get your panel pics to me by then.
This edit is for content (the time is off by an hour, it is now 5:34 pm, the setting in the profile isn't reflected here, huh ...oh well.)

Remember folks that if you are shipping to Canada, or any other country from the USA, check the "GIFT" box on the customs form so that the recipient does not have to pay to pick up their panel! Love.....Jill

I thought it was pretty cool too Catharine. Jack left instructions for me to go ahead and post the links to the photos once Catharine received his panel, so here they are.
Once I put together a temporary Panel Swap 4 page, I'll stop putting individual links up. Until then here is "Pair no. 3"

1. Pair no. 5 has been matched. another great pair!
2. We are coming down to the wire here. I had correspondence with many people recently that wanted to participate, but haven't been able to get the fun out of the box. Most of the people here are pretty busy and it's a bit of a challenge, in it's self, to break out that box of fun. Some reasons have been way more understandable then others.
The Circus is staying in town until the 14th of November, but the roads are going to be cold and muddy about then, so let's plan ahead.
The Circus Leaves Town November 14th at 11:59 PM, in whatever timezone you happen to be in. Any panels remaining to be checked at the gates by that time, well . . .
These panels coming in are Great! You people may be as slow as molasses, but ya know how to have fun with panels.

That's been my problem, I have a general idea, just struggling with the lettering and fonts...sigh...and I've been busy with the horses, the farm chores, trying to scare up some jobs, etc...
It's good practice, tho....I'm determined to get it started this weekend!!! And once I'm on a roll, I'll finish it quickly....I hope....

I just returned from vacation and found Catharine's beautiful glue-chipped panel waiting for me. Thanks so much Catharine, and thank you, Dave, for moderating this swap!

Great Dave, I'm looking forward to getting your mail. You are quite welcome Jack and Thank You for joining in!
I'm still waiting on confirmation that pairs 5 & 6 have reached their destinations. Pair 7 was completed several days ago and the fellows have agreed to have the pics posted early. Their panels are on their journeys across the blue waters of the Pacific. Another pair of excellent panels.
