Is anyone interested in this swap or is somebody planning to host this? I may be too early. I have really enjoyed this swap the past two years. If people are interested and no one is hosting, I would be willing to. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Portia

Ok. I am hosting the stocking swap this year.

Refer to the partner's list for ideas and then throw in some of your own!!
Sign-up deadline: Nov 8
Partners posted: Nov. 11
Mail out by Dec. 14
Ladies, please list 8-10 things that you like/enjoy when you sign up.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas Early!!!!

It has been brought to my attention that I failed to make size requirements on the stocking. I appreciate the comment because I would not want someone to send a big one and get a tiny one in return! So.............
Size: no shorter than 12 inches and no taller than 18 inches
Thanks,
Portia
