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.
Fill a Christmas stocking (purchased or homemade) with individually wrapped gifts that will fit inside. Most people fill it to the brim and some even include other little goodies inside the box. Feel free to do that as well if you wish. Try to make it as special as possible!![](icons/icon_smile.gif)
Refer to the partner's list for ideas and then throw in some of your own!!![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif)
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!!!!
Portia
PS. When I post partners, it will be up to you to get in touch with them to exchange information.

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
