12/8 - The end of this year's Season Swap is quickly approaching with Saturday being the mail date. As someone who herself is running behind, I ask that if you too are, please let your swap partner know! If anyone wants to take over this swap let me know... I am willing to coordinate it for next year again, but am also more than willing to hand over the reins with all we have going on in our lives. Much love to each of you and thank you for being an important part of this swap!
UPDATE: With this swap being posted in the the MJF Sister Issue, I offered to re-open the sign-ups and let late-takers sign up as well. We have had one more person join us. Does anyone else want to sign up? I am taking late sign-ups through the 15th. Thank you everyone!!!
Welcome to the Sweet Seasons Swap! Rachel has been the hostess in the past for this swap, but with upcoming changes for her in 2016, she has had to step down this year and focus on those. Thank you Rachel for being such a wonderful hostess!!!
For those new to this swap, this will be four times a year, one for each new season, with the same partner. You would send a special gift box to your Farmgirl sister 4 times a year, just as the Season begins to change. Each of us will have something fun to open as we celebrate the beginning of each new Season.
Spring begins Sunday, March 20th-send gift box out by Saturday, March 12th.
Summer begins Monday, June 20th-send gift box out by Saturday, June 11th.
Fall begins Thursday, September 22nd-send gift box out by Saturday, September 10th.
Winter begins Wednesday, December 21st-send gift box out by Saturday, December 10th.
In between you can send Birthday Cards, Anniversary Cards and/or Gifts or a Thinking of You Card from time to time.
Please try to make your gift box special, by filling it with sweet and wonderful things that a farm girl would like, keeping the Season in mind. Examples could be note cards, chocolate, homemade items, candles, ornaments, figurines, pens, anything that you think your partner would like. If you have any idea of things that might be fun to include in our gift boxes please post them.
The USPS Priority Flat Rate Boxes might be a good idea to use for sending your special gifts in each Season. This would probably save on shipping for everyone. If you sign up and are unable to continue this for the year, PLEASE let me know right away. It is very unfair for your partner to send you a package and not receive theirs. For those that are already doing this swap and would like to continue, PLEASE let me know, send me an email with your address, & email address.
Let's have some fun and make new friends!!!!!!! I will have my children draw the names to set up the partners the end of January.
Sign-ups end Saturday, January 30th

It honestly depends on you, and what you are shipping!!! I think I sent both medium and large flat rate boxes this past year. If you are sending lighter items, you may be better off sending it in an envelope. It truly depends on you!!! It is similar to the the swap where you send boxes for three months up to Christmas... but instead of three Christmas boxes, you are doing one box each season. Does that make sense? I generally find when I send a package, a medium flat rate box costs me less than a normal box sent first class, because of the weight.
