HAPPY HOLIDAYS........we are taking a short break

i thought with the holiday season upon us and everyone being super busy, that we would take a breather for January and start the swaps back for FEBRUARY..................... i will post the february sign up list about the 20th january and start the swaps early feb...................have a happy and safe xmas and we will see you all back in a month



a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the swaps so far, personally i have found them loads of fun, its always lovely to see what we get each month........

SECRET SANTA partners have been decided

Ok, could everyone that hasnt already emailed me, please do so with your postal addresses please, so i can pass your address on to your partner.......................do not put your address as the sender on the parcel(this keeps it a secret) put MY address as the sender...................... the only person that will know who their partner is.......is me, lol cos someone had to make the list............

please handmake roughly 6-10 items(preferably not all the same item) give the recipient a bit of variety,......ie.... dont make 10 flowers, or 10 atc's etc.........

and please try and have the parcel posted so it reaches the recipient before christmas if possible please.......


i await emails from a few of you so i can pass addresses on......... thanks, hope you like this swap as a change from our usual swaps and find it fun


ps....im still waiting on a few november swaps before i can post them back

DECEMBER swap will be a SECRET SANTA.......

ok this is how it will work...................... for december's swap, i thought we would do a secret santa, what you need to do, is add your name to the list by commenting or emailing me..... you will be partnered up with 1 person, email me your address(its in the contact me tab at the top), and i will pass it on to your partner and they will post you a pressie of 6 to 10 handmade stuff..... sound good, i know i love getting pressies at this time of year, so thought this could be a fun change from the usual monthly swaps....................
This will close on Wednesday 30th NOVEMBER and i will partner you up on THURSDAY the 1st DECEMBER, please try and have your pressie posted with in enough time for the recipient to receive it before xmas if possible, thanks

WHO LIKES THIS IDEA for DECEMBER

i just want your opinions on an idea for the december swap....................... would you be interested in doing a handmade secret santa instead of our normal swaps for december....................... you would handmake between 6 and 10 items and post them to the person you get as your swap buddy........... i will hand out the address of the person you are given...... just let me know your thoughts on this, i will only do this if more people want to do this than not......
