                      | Well, I'm not sure if I will be on the "naughty" or "nice" list, but I'll take a chance and play. This was such a delightful swap last year, how can I resist. I'll have to sit down with a nice cup of tea and write out my wish list. Thank you Debbie for stepping up to fill in for Peggy. I know we are all pulling for her through some stressful times. hugs,
 jean

                      | Debbie, love this swap! My list:
 No chocolate, I drink decaf or herbal tea, I don't wear jewelry.
 I collect snowmen. I'm more traditional, don't do Santa just mostly winter things. I love fuzzy socks, ribbon candy, books about Christmas, I enjoy writing letters, reading, embroidery and puzzles.
 I forgot about the tin of hard candies Debbie! I love those too!
 I decorate prim and love ravens or crows. (We have lots of both of those here)

 And yes I am signing up too.
 I like traditional Christmas.
 I have pierced ears.
 Color Purple is my favorite color.
 I love coffee especially Starbucks!
 I am 100% gluten free as I am allergic to wheat and gluten.
 I need some pretty stationary and I use purple ink for my pens.
 Like Denise I love Ribbon Candy and the Christmas tin full of a variety of hard Christmas Candy.
 I love all things vintage.
 I crochet and knit and love making ATC.
 I love white chocolate too.
 With all this being said I love surprises very much.
 
 
 Big Hugs,
 Debbie

                      | I dream of this swap all year! Sign me up! 
 I'd love any theme stocking.
 I'm drawn to forest green and purple, but all colors are good.
 I collect glittery costume jewelry pins, anything with a dachshund or hummingbird.
 Love dark or milk chocolate, with almonds, tea, chai, or cappuccino coffees.
 Floral scented soap, lotion or wax melts.
 I write and sew a lot, stationery or note cards, or sewing supplies will come in handy.
 Socks or seeds for next year's garden.
 Any of your local specialties.

                      | I haven’t done this in a few years so please sign me up.  Ho, Ho, Ho, Santa will be here soon!! What do I like? Anything handmade, anything old timey , homemade jams or jelly, soaps, primitive style anything.  I am not a collector of Christmas trinkets as I have collected so much of that over the years. I do love anything with Crows as I have a family that visits me daily in my backyard.  Whoever draws my name, please keep it very simple as I really love just the basic kinds of items.  Think little house on the prairie style or Christmas in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

                      | Well, I guess I need to get my list up here. Actually, it's pretty simple . . . 
 Love all colors but probably lean to jewel tones
 Adore surprises
 Don't wear jewelry
 Prefer Traditional or Avant guarde over religious theme
 Drink both coffee, tea and other things too
 Consider chocolate to be one of the major food groups
 Vintage anything
 Handmade over store bought any time
 Principal activities are reading on my Kindle, writing, surfing the web, mail art, machine embroidery and other sewing projects
 Between handicap issues and COVID, I'm pretty much housebound, so my world revolves around working in the studio and on the computer

                      | Time to dive into this special swap. Thank You Debbie for taking over for Peggy this year. 
 I prefer hand crafted over boughten
 I love a good cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
 I collect vintage post cards
 I burn candles every day, preferring fresh nature scents
 Peppermint candies are a favorite of mine
 I prefer vintage or traditional christmas
 Simple items are what makes me happy, a good book, a beautiful ball of yarn, a handwritten letter, if it comes from the heart it is perfect.

                      | What better time to join up for a swap after not doing one for oh so long!?!? Please sign me up - I love this one!!!! And I have not done it for years!!! 
 We do not generally decorate with Santa, but I love nativities, nutcrackers, snowmen, and gingerbread houses.
 I cannot have dairy - so I enjoy dairy free chocolate, dairy free hot chocolate, and hot tea. There is also an extreme peanut allergy in the house, so please no peanuts!
 I collect Willow Tree Figurines and ornaments.
 I have pierced ears.
 My favorite color is blue.
 I love to craft, though I don't seem to have much time, to cook and bake, to sew, and to read.
