Is anyone interested in a fun little swap to get ready for Christmas? I was thinking we could send something twice a month from now through December. There are only 2 rules. #1 - it has to be Christmas related. #2 - it has to be able to be mailed with just a stamp. Some ideas would be a card, a bookmark, an ATC, a small square of fabric, etc. I thought this would be a fun way to get into the Christmas mood without being stressful or expensive.
After I posted this I was thinking that it sounds like a swap for paper crafters - that is NOT my intention. If you want to join the fun you can buy stickers, cards, etc. Anything that can be mailed with a stamp. You do not have to make anything if you don't want to. I believe Hobby Lobby has Christmas stuff 40% off already LOL! I don't want to leave anyone out that wants to join the fun.
Some how I screwed this up so please see below for partners  |

I'm so glad you like the idea!
Debbie - isn't it cute. I'm not sure I could get any of mine to do that. They'd all go nuts or try to eat the costume LOL! |

| Heather, as a paper crafter, I totally didn’t think it was just for cards!! :) You had great ideas for inspiration! :) I’ve even started a listed! :) Remember, a 5x7 card mails for the same as a smaller card. :) |

| Count me in Heather! I think this one will be a fun challenge and it is always great to get farmgirl mail in the mailbox instead of all the political cards. |

Thanks Karen, that makes me feel better!
I agree Julie - it's always nice to get farmgirl mail :)
I'll probably give this until the 15th to see if anyone else pops on and is interested. I know we're a busy bunch right now! |

| Just one person. Depending on how many sign up (odd or even number) it'll be a traditional swap or a round robin kind of thing, but either way you will only send to one person. I'll assign partners Monday in case anyone else pops on here this weekend. |

| I'm not sure why, but I'm not getting my email updates from the Wildflowers group - I will do my best to remember to get back on here to check who my partner is! |

Joyce, I am not either all my HH alerts are going to junk mail. I know they are working on the computers at the farm updating etc. so that could be why. But, I will check with them and see.

I am definitely in - thanks Heather for tracking me down. I have been away with my little family and then Meg and Caroline came down for a visit. My daughter got a call for a job interview so she is headed back tomorrow unexpectedly. Caroline will stay here at Camp LaLa for a week or two (yay)!
I'll work on catching up after she heads back tomorrow - just wanted to pop in and say hi!

Here's how the names came out of the santa hat:
Karen - Julie
Krista - Laura
Wanda - Heather
Joyce - Debbie
Since we're so late getting started if you only get one thing sent this month it will be ok. |
