Basically this is how it will work: The first month-make a sack and wrap 2 small gifts and send them off to your partner who will store the gifts in the sack...unopened and no ToUcHiNg or SqUeeZinG..(well perhaps just a wee one).. then every month after that, send 2 or more gifts to the same partner and she places them into the sack once again unopened! Then for December we will add a special something (perhaps a Candle Mat, Tree skirt or Runner) as the finale'. The gifts should retail approx $5.00 - $10.00 each month (not a financial burden that way) or handmade items are GrEaT and I'll keep swap sisters in the same country for postal consideration. The first month's gifts together with the SACK must be posted by July 1st. This is a six (6) month commitment so please only join in if you will complete it. Your partners HeArT is at stake.. you'll break it if you don't go the distance!
Sign up will close on April 30th 2011.
Be sure to add the button to your blog (link it here) .... let's not keep the FuN to ourselves... spread the word!

Hi Cheryl,
Would love to join your lovely Christmas Swap. There is only one problem I will be away for 6 weeks starting in July.
I will make the first part of the swap before I go.
As long as swap sister knows that I am still working hard on the swap while I am away. I could catch up when I am back.
What do you think?

I've been giving this one a lot of thought, and I'm IN! I already have a list of possible gifts. I usually don't mind shipping internationally, but I'm glad this one will be staying in-country.
Hi Cheryll, Another great idea! count me in please Toni
ooooh, I like that you're trying to keep it local for us so it won't be so much to mail. Sounds delightful! I'm in.

Darn, I'm too late, this sounds like fun and I just discovered your blog. If someone has to drop out maybe I can take their place.
I too just discovered your blog and love the idea of this swap. I see Carol (above) missed the sign up as well. Perhaps, could we be each others partners? If not, please keep me in mind if someone needs to drop out.
Hi, will you be doing this again this year? Last year was soooo much fun. If you're not doing it, do you know anyone who is???? Coz it would need to be starting soon right? Hugs Naomi
