FAQ's about the T-shirt Trade
So people keep asking me these questions, so I thought I might as well share them here as you might be wondering too:
1) What is this T-shirt stuff all about?
I'm in the process of making my 10th trade. What I have to trade on is 375 Springleap.com T-shirts. I'm trading each T-shirt with 375 people for cash, through Springleap.com.
So to simplify this trade- if you want to trade with me you just need to buy any Springleap.com T-shirt online, and make sure you use the coupon code onematchstick so we can track that you are trading with me.
Then you'll be one of the 375 people I trade with- pop me an email so I know and can add you to my story :)
2) I missed T-shirt Trade Day- is it too late to trade with you?
T-shirt Trade Day- 18th September- was the day I started trading on the 375 T-shirts. It was after the competition to find the official onematchstick T-shirt, and was the day the code (which is onematchstick) to track the trades went live. Now the trading continues until I trade all the T-shirts on.
So no, it's not too late to trade with me. At the time of writing this I have only traded 46 T-shirts, and still have 76 pledges to convert to trades, and that leaves me with 254 T-shirts I still need to trade on. So please trade with me, and soon, so my tenth trade doesn't take forever. I can't wait to see what the next trade will be!
3) Do I have to trade with you for the official onematchstick T-shirt?
No. You can choose ANY of the Springleap.com T-shirts.
4) How do I trade with you for a T-shirt?
Easy Peasy.
How to trade with me by buying your T-shirt(s) and make them count towards my onematchstick trade:
1. If you haven't registered yet on Springleap.com, now's the time to do so.
2. When you are logged in, choose the T-shirts you want. You can choose ANY design.
a. Click on the SHOP button at the top of the page to see the available designs.
b. Or choose the official onematchstick T-shirt in the "being printed" section.
3. When you find the T-shirt you want, click on the size you want (there is a link which explains the sizing and the ladies T-shirts are a lady's cut). Once you click on the size, it gets added to your "shopping cart".
4. When you've finished adding your T-shirts to your shopping cart, click on the shopping cart icon on the top right hand of the screen.
5. Enter in your delivery details, and where it says "if you have a Springleap coupon, enter it here:" you enter the code, which is: onematchstick (all lower case, one word). This is a VERY IMPORTANT STEP! Please remember to add the code!
6. Click the confirm and pay button.
7. Check your details, and then you can choose to pay by credit card or EFT.
8. Just follow the prompts and you will have finalised your T-shirt trade with me :)
9. Let me know when you've made your trade via email or sms to 0837302979.
10. It will be great, if you want, to email me a photo of you in your Springleap T-shirt once it's delivered, as I'll be creating a page on my blog of all the fantastic people I am trading with in their Springleap T-shirts.
5) How do I know what size T-shirt to get?
Go dig in your cupboard for your favourite T-shirt. Measure its width and height, and then compare those measurements on the chart on this page to work out your Springleap size.
LADIES- the ladies cut it super nice, so don't worry, you'’ll look fab in your Springleap Tee!
6) Springleap.com doesn't have my size in the T-shirt I want. Now what?
No problem. Let Springleap know what T-shirt and size you want, and when there's enough requests they'll reprint that T-shirt.
So those are the most asked questions. Do you have another one? Let me know, thanks! I hope to trade with you soon!
and the Winner is....
10 designs were submitted, and by golly - each one was unique and brilliant! I want to write more about each of the designs over the next week or two, but for now, a big THANK YOU to all the designers who took part and came up with such creative and wonderful designs. Thank you!!

TRADE DAY- 18 September 2009
Today is also the day I've coined "T-shirt Trade Day" and it marks the final stages to my tenth trade. I've received 116 pledges from people saying they will trade with me for one of the 375 springleap.com T-shirts. So I'm looking now for 259 more people to trade with.
The official onematchstick T-shirt is now available as one of the T-shirts to choose from to trade with me. This T-shirt is about to go into production, so if you choose to trade with me for the official onematchstick T-shirt, delivery will take a few weeks. But don't let that stop you- it's an AWESOME T-shirt. And there will be a very limited number made, so this is your only chance to own one. There is also going to be a limited time that this T-shirt will be available too- so you better move fast if you want one.
Back to Trade Day. The 116 people have been patiently waiting for today to trade one of my 375 T-shirts for some of their cash. They've needed the official onematchstick T-shirt to be available, and also the special CODE. So here it is, what you've been waiting for - the code that you need to use in the "coupon" section on springleap.com when you make your purchase, so that Springleap.com can track the sales that are to be counted for my 10th trade on onematchstick, is:
Ha! Would it have been anything else? Remember though, that the code is case sensitive- so make sure you use all small letters and one word.
Contact me when you've made your trade so I can track the progress with my 10th trade. And email or call me on 0837302979 if you have any queries
Thanks!
Again, Well done to Tu! Check out the official onematchstick T-shirt here.
Thanks also go to the fabulous team at Springleap.com for running the competition for me, and to the super duper sponsors for the Prize, being bidorbuy.co.za, springleap.com, and poken.co.za

VOTING CLOSES THIS THURSDAY 17th September- because Friday 18th is T-shirt Trade Day- the day I officially start trading the 375 t-shirts with 375 people!
Some of my T-shirts are on these shelves!
I'm so looking forward to seeing the designs. I've heard a few descriptions, and seen a few mock ups, and they are all so wonderful- I don't know which one I'd choose! Thank goodness I won't be choosing, and you will be voting for your favourite. That way, you get to have your say in what will be the official onematchstick T-shirt.
I went to Cape Town for a quick trip to see my family there, and for a few days of holiday to find the Namaqualand daisies, and the display was spectacular! You can read about it on Rod's blog here.
While in Cape Town I got to try the pumpkin and marshmallow milkshake from Fire and Ice- the funkiest restaurant I know. I also visited the fab team at Springleap.com. What a buzz! There were people coming and going, groovy music playing, phones ringing, meetings happening, and couriers collecting T-shirts to be delivered! And in between the busy-ness I got to meet the team and see the store room. I even admired the view of the mountain from the balcony- a nice breather from the buzz inside.
