Bottle Swap Sign Ups Start Today

So today the "official" sign ups start for my second plastic bottle swap. It will be a 2 liter this time around. Check out my Youtube channel (yoliebean) to watch the videos on the first swap I hosted. It was so much fun. I'm also going to be uploading a video to Youtube in a bit regarding this swap. Take a look....

So the way you sign up is to send me an email to yoliebean@gmail.com with "Bottle Swap" in the subject line. Please include your full name, Youtube name (if you have a channel) and street address. I will be contacting everyone as a group when sign ups close on Wednesday the 10th.

U.S. swappers only, sorry. It can be very pricey to ship international. And there are limitations as to what type of container you can put in the mail.

All the details will follow....Let's just get you all signed up first!
