Newbie Box

A Newbie Box is a gift of inspiration from the list. 
Everything in a NB is donated from your claymates on COC. 
We also have NB swaps and all the extras from the NB swaps 
also go into the NB. These boxes are meant to inspire you 
and to also give you a chance to try new products. You will 
also get to see what your fellow claymates have made. There
is nothing like being able to hold a beautiful creation that was
made by a claymate. 
 
There are a few ways to qualify for a NB. Here's the 
breakdown on what you can do to qualify for a NB.
 
1) You must be in good standing on the list first and foremost. 
This means that you have not been put on moderation for 
inappropriate list behavior. 
2) You need to have posted at least 10 times each of the 3 
months before you can qualify for a NB.
3) You need to participate in demo. When demos are available 
3) If you can't be as active as you would like to be on the list or in 
demo. Or if you would like to bypass the 3 month waiting period 
and would still like a NB. You can make a donation to the Newbie 
Box or the Donations Box. 
 
There are several ways to make a donation to the Newbie Boxes. 
 
You can donate money. This helps with postage, supplies, and this 
is how I get all the new products for the newbies to try. There 
are a few different ways you can do this. 

1.You can send a donation to my Paypal account send it to 
ceceday@aol.com   

2.You send a gift certificate from the official polymer clay 
supplier for this list. That is  www.clayalley.com  Karen will 
let me know when someone makes a donation for the Newbie boxes. 
Then when I get enough gift certificates I will place an order 
with them for the Newbie Box. 
 
3. You can also send cash, check, or money order to me for the NB.
Please be careful when sending any of these through the mail.
