Hi all!
I've done a few of these before - and I'm a BIG Christmas fan!! I have collected ornaments since I was a child, was lucky enough to inherit my Grandmother's antique ornaments from Germany - the old paper-board ones and all!! I've spent years making ornaments - and now that I've found the "farm" I have a new place to share!!
In past swaps, you made 3 ornaments to send out. I know we all have busy lives, so input is welcome if you think that would be too overwhelming. We can always stick with one at a time - and if it's a hit we can do more swaps before the season!
If anybody is interested, holler and we'll start a list!

Gramadinah,
Tendoy is a little ( and I mean little) crossroads 25 miles south of Salmon, 170 miles north of Idaho Falls.
We've been here for 3 years - moved from Darby, MT. We were there for 20 years but got tired of Hollywood and CEO's - so jumped over the hill. Matter of fact we're in the middle of a deal to move back to MT - to Lincoln - home of the Unabomber!
Anyway, glad to meet you!

I have been here for 10 years and really haven't gotten a chance to explore. I will have to look up Tendoy on the map. I think the swap is going to be great.

I would love to join!
This is handmade, right? And would it be 3 ornaments for 3 different people or 3 ornaments to the one? I'm unsure because the swaps I've been in before were one ornament. Will try anything tho!

OK girls!
I just LOVE swaps! So here's how it goes...
We'll be in groups of 4 - so each person in the group makes and receives 3 ornaments. Yup - everything is handmade - anything goes!Let's make the first swap due by the end of September till we all get going - plus it's ummer - time to out and about, gardening, canning, etc.
Once we get going, if there is enough interest, we can do it year round - Christmas all year!! We can also do themes, or certain type crafts.
I'll start getting groups together, you can all contact one another for mailing info and such. Post pics of your ornaments if you like - we all like to see the goodies. Please try to let your group members know that you have received their ornaments.
I'll leave sign-ups open so even those of us who are really busy will have a chance to get in on the fun.
If anyone needs suggestions or help - let me know. I've got TONS of them! LOL
And as a bonus everyone who signs up for the swap gets an ornament from me!!
Thanks girls!!
Sheri
