Although I have participated in many swaps, this is the FIRST one I have ever hosted. I LOVE bright colors and so wanted to do a few swaps that are color based. I have lots of ideas but for this one let's start with BLUE. Please collect 6 blue things and send them to your partner. It truly can be anything any shade of blue. You can make it, buy it, pass on something extra that you already have or pick it up off the street..just make it blue. Examples-blue rubberband, material, stamp, small book, notecard, button, little picture frame..whatever-just blue. Please do not send 6 of the same thing. Let's get a variety and post pics.
Recently, there was some discussion about tuck-ins. Please gals, ABSOLUTELY NO TUCK-INS! If this is a deal breaker for you, I am so sorry but I want EVERYONE to know that they can do this swap and it does not have to be expensive. Just 6 blue things.
Sign up by 6/20. Partners posted by 6/24 and send out by 6/30.
Thanks, Joey

Cathy, that little wind charm is so cute but what I LOVE is the blue and white plate!! How very majestic and pretty. I collect blue and white dishes and state/attraction plates and that is something special. I have never been to the Rockies but my DH has and he liked the plate too. What a nice thing to put in a swap! Joey

Hi Sandy,
I didn't know Currier and Ives made one with the Rocky Mountains That is beautiful. I never was into their other snow, sleds and people but I sure love that one. You received some very nice blue things.

Well I must be in the fog today! The post I just put on here was intended for Cathy's personal TY on her email! Oh well if y'all are wondering what I am talking about ( the plate is Courier and Ives and it is titled The Rocky Mtns. ) I love it! But anyway don't mind me, I am crazy sometimes! lol

Hey Cathy, I got my blue package and I love, love it. It seemed like you knew me. The plate is beautiful, I love the Mtns. and I love the old west days, Oh and my DH name is Rocky! I also love to read about farming and living off the land so I am sure I will enjoy reading the book. The guest towels are beautiful, I just might save them for my Daughter, who loves cobalt blue and white, give them to her for a special little surprise, I hope you won't mind! the stationary and the wind charm are sweet too! And the ribbon will be for my crafting! I love everything!!!! Thank you so much , you did great!!!!!
I mailed yours out yesterday, I hope you get it real soon. I am so sorry it is late, I hope you find that it was worth the wait.
Hugs Sandy

I apologize that mine hasn't gone out. It is in my car waiting to find it's new home... Sorry Darlene. I am having car issues and am afraid to drive with my children. Something is up in the front end. Anyway, I am going to have DH take it to work with him tonight and drop it in the AM. I planned to have him run it today, but he had to work a double. <3
