12/08/15: Just checking in to see if all swappers have received their tags! I think that, for the most part you all should have. Let me know if you don't receive your tags by Dec. 10th!
CJ
11/11/15: PHOTOS, PHOTOS! Be sure to post photos of your tags when you receive them. We wanna see all the creativity out there! I always taks pics of mine before I send them, just in case my partner isn't able to do that.  
CJ
11/08/15: Just thought I'd offer some suggestions for
mailing your tags. I've mailed LOTS and LOTS of cards, tags, ATCs, etc. through the mail. If they are flat without embellishments I would still wrap them in a bit of tissue paper before putting in an envelope. If they have embellishments, etc. . . . considered "lumpy" I'd suggest that you use a bubble envelope (wrap in tissue as well). Tape corners and flaps well, but don't cover your stamps! I've had things come to me with corners torn, embellishments sticking through the envelope, broken embellishments, etc.
ABOUT "TUCKS": If, and I repeat "IF", you choose to include tucks (the little extras) you are welcome to do so... strictly optional! However, they are NOT required and should not be expected.
11/07/15: EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT. Some through my forum email (gmail address) and some from my Yahoo email.
If you did NOT get an email from me with your partner(s) name, please contact me ASAP.
Thanks much!
CJ
P.S. REMINDER: Mailout deadline is NOVEMBER 30th, but earlier would be even better!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
11/07/15 Signups for this swap are now CLOSED!
Swappers, give me a couple of days to get partners worked out and I will SEND YOU AN EMAIL with your partner name(s). You will need to check your email for that information. I will post here when I've sent all the emails.
So, finish up those tags!
Thanks so much!
CJ
Hey Farmgirls,
This is a swap I hosted for four years and then had to take a break, but am reviving this fun swap for CHRISTMAS TAGS! I hope you'll give it a "look-see" and join in the fun. I LOVE my tags from the past swaps and have been selfish with most of them, using them to decorate across the top of my windows with them at Christmas
It's time to sign up for the *CHRISTMAS TAG SWAP* for this year. Many of you participated in past years by making TWO tags using your own ideas, supplies and creativity.
The size I make are about 2 1/2 x 5 inches, but they can be any shape or size you like. Embellish them however you wish with ribbons, buttons, wire, etc., etc.
-They can be papercrafted, sewn, needlework of any kind, whatever medium you choose.
-They can be used as fancy "to/from" tags on packages, ornaments, bookmarks, etc. Your creativity can go wild!
WANNA "PLAY"? SIGNUP here by posting that you want to participate
BY THE WAY: This swap IS OPEN to farmgirls outside of the States! You're are most welcome to join in on the fun!
SIGNUPS CLOSE ON NOVEMBER 7th
- I will match up partners. You can have more than one partner, but if you DO want more than one, you need to indicate how many you want when you signup. Otherwise it'll be just one partner. Once signups are closed and partners posted, you would then contact each other for addresses.
- Make TWO tags to swap with EACH partner
- MAIL OUT DEADLINE: BY NOVEMBER 30th
*IMPORTANT: Please be sure that you CAN follow through before you sign up. Everyone needs to participate EQUALLY.
Let's have some fun!!
CJ
Here are pics of some that I have made

I totally want to give this one a whirl! Still debating how many partners. I will probably start making and see how far I get (and how much time I have!) up until the date sign-ups end. Are the back generally pretty plain, other than "to" and "from"?

YAY! Glad to add Shannon, Kerry and Mary!
Shannon . . . the backs can be whatever you wish, but generally they're pretty simple and for the "to/from" area. And, just let me know how many partners you want.
Kerry . . .gotcha down for three partners!
Linda . . . just let me know when you can how many partners you want
Thanks girls!

CJ - am I correct in understanding that you make two tags, and send it to one partner, so you receive two in return? Then, it's your choice if you want more than one partner.

I would LOVE to...just need to think on it as we're moving Nov.25th, and I don't want to put to much on my plate :) However...I'm thinking I can handle a couple of tags...I will be in touch in the next day or two :)

oooohhhh! This sounds like fun. Love tags. Sign me up please. I don't mind a partner out of the country. Maybe two partners would be fun.

Hi, me again. Please forgive me for the questions but I am new to the farm and to these SWAPS.
I have already cut out my 3 sets of tags and compiled all of the Christmas & Winter embellishments I could find.
#1- Is this a SWAP that it's better to wait until I have my partners to start actually putting the tags together?
#2- I was thinking about my three sets (possibly one set winter, one set maybe traditional Christmas and one set from re-purposed items). *Please let me know if that is just wrong as I am not easily offended.
#3- When I send out the tags should they be kept in the "sets" or is it better to mix them up?
Thank you for all feedback.

Kerry,
You can do your tags however your "heart" tells you.
I think that putting them together now is just fine . . . that way you'll be ready to go.
And, if it were me, I'd probably mix them up and send one of each theme to each partner. Mix up the fun!
Hope that helps . . .
