I had this idea this morning fore a very simple and easy swap. If a very good friend, whom you haven't seen in 15+ years calls you to say she is passing through your town and wants to see you, what sort of easy, simple Spring Easter gathering would you do for her visit at your home?
Here are the rules. #1 This should not be more than enjoying some tea or coffee and maybe a snack depending on any restrictions of your guest. Some ideas would a simple cookie recipe, an easy cold dessert to have in fridge, or maybe just an easy quick bread . Just send your favorite recipe for one of these ideas or any others you might have. #2 Think of some simple ways that make wherever you plan to sit look festive. Examples might be some pretty napkins, a few small easter eggs in a basket, or maybe a wooden bunny or chicken on the table. Lastly, put the recipe and a few extras in a little basket or cloth pouch for your friend to take home with her.
My big goal here is to keep it all small, light in weight, and very simple. Shipping costs have gone way up so if possible, keep your items such that you can pack them in a padded envelope or a very small box. I know that Farmgirls will figure out some fun, pretty and special ideas to make this swap something fun! Who is up for this Easter Bunny/Spring Chick swap?
Sign ups through March 9th and partners posted March 10th. Please make sure your package arrives the week before Easter.
Well, I think the Easter Bunny is going to be busy , busy! We have 15 people signed up so we will do this round robin style. If anyone has a question on how to figure this out, just let me know. Essentially, you send to the person after you and the last person sends to the first. Here we go.
