Swap Party!

I'm not sure what it is with me, September, and reaching out to my fellow crafters but something must always get me going!  If you are a regular reader of my blog you probably remember this post from a  year ago with the idea for a quiet book. This is not an idea for a quiet book but a swap of homemade goods!  I've seen lots of ideas for things like this on Pinterest and thought it sounded like a very fun idea! Plus, getting a package in the mail with present inside?!  What could be better?  I know I have so many talented friends, sisters, and extended family and readers I know we could make this good!
 
So let's do it!!  Let's swap!!  If you would like to participate go ahead and "enter" by leaving a comment with your name and email address. Once sign-up's have ended you will receive an email from ME assigning you to a partner.  Go ahead and email your partner and get to know them a little bit so you can make the gift more personal for them.  You know stuff like their favorite color, favorite fabric line, do they want a gift for a child or do they need something for their wardrobe or kitchen?!  That kind of stuff :)  Sign-up's will END on FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH. 

Once again, the gifts MUST must MUST be home-made.  I cannot say that enough!  Obviously a part of it can be store bought but you get the general idea. No buying stuff from a craft store that is home made but you bought it, etc. 

All gifts must be finished and post-marked by OCTOBER 15TH 2011.  No ifs, and's or butt's about it! If you need ideas or inspiration check out some of these blogs:
-Craftaholics Anonymous
-Make it and Love it

And a thousand more websites for ideas. And if you are like me you probably already have an idea in your head!!  Good luck, thanks for playing, and I can't WAIT to see what we all come up with!  Happy Crafting!
