THinKinG AHeaD

As 2014 is just around the corner...scary thought eh... I've been thinking about what I want to accomplish next year. I have quite a few quilts on my "to-do" list, but I still want to play in fun "swaps" too... so I thought ... "I need to get organised".
It made me realise that YOU would probably be the same so I'll let you know some of what I've planned for 2014... that way me/you/we can all... have our cake and eat it too...so to speak.

As you can imagine organising "swaps" can be time consuming... although I just love being a swap mama... so I've made some small changes, turned some into "clubs" & simplified some too. I've listed opening & closing dates... given rules/guidelines... & even mailing deadlines.
All this info is under the relevant tabs on my header & I will complete the update of the Santa Sack Swap AFTER this year's swap finishes in December. Of course I will still have some
"spur of the moment" swaps throughout the year... but at least now I've given you lots of thinking time, to either... plan to join in... &/or perhaps to start on your gifts early in 2014.

I know we all have Christmas on our minds at the moment... but please read about the swaps now so you can think about them later. If at all possible can you let others know to stop over & read about them too as I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on joining in a swap if they wanted to come & play with me.

If anything is unclear or incorrect...or you simply have a question about the "swaps"...
please leave a comment or email me.
NOTE: The birthday Club for 2014 HAS NOW CLOSED.

ThanKs for reading this 
& passing it on too!

Great idea Cheryll - gives us time to plan and sometimes you will find something when thumbing through a mag that may be perfect for upcoming swaps
