For our first swap, we will be doing a themed swap...with Easter as the theme! So get Hippity-Hopping right to it! Here are the details
Swap is open for 20 people. Deadline to sign up is Feb. 10th. You will receive your swap person's name by Feb. 12th. The swap gift must be mailed no later than March 10th. (Remember, you can always mail it early.) We want everyone to have their gift by Easter (March 23rd) and be able to display anything in their house for at least a week leading up to Easter. NO EXCUSES. NO LATE PACKAGES. If something happens and you must drop, COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I understand that life gets in the way sometimes but do NOT email me on March 10th and tell me you are dropping. Give me time to cover your pal.
The Easter swap gift you mail to your assigned person must include:
1. Some type of Easter egg(s) (could be a plastic egg filled with a treat, an Easter egg that is a home decoration, a homemade egg by you, etc.)
2. Chocolate
3. One of your family favorite Easter recipes written or typed out (to clarify: you do NOT have to make the recipe for your person...just send them a copy of your recipe)
4. Something religious for Easter (if this bothers you, please do not sign up for the swap)
5. Include a few other "goodies" -- could be craft supplies, candy, décor, soaps, bunnies, chickies, etc
6. Everything should go in an Easter basket or container...after all, it will be fun to get a big girl Easter basket!!!
The limit on the swap will be $20 NOT including the basket or the shipping. The $20 is the limit for the ACTUAL items IN the basket. Don't forget, you could always hand-make one, two, or all the things!
The recipient will NOT know who the swap gift is from until they receive it in the mail. This means the person you have does NOT necessarily have you.
Please email me (Jennifer S.) directly if you are interested in signing up along with this swap survey. DEADLINE IS FEB 10TH. This survey will be given to your swap person so they know a little about you. (For personal security reasons, I do not wish to post my email on this blog. If a friend of yours has forwarded this blog link to you inviting you to participate, please ask them for my direct email address.)

You can search the Internet for swap ideas as well. But know up front that a lot of swaps are for crafts...so if everything you find seems crafty...not to worry. Think about what you'd like to receive, use the survey your pal filled out, and have fun!
