It's that time again!

To offset the fact that there are many people who will be crazy busy for the next two months, we're going to push this into early January. That way you can slowly amass things, and have a great time getting things together!

The following items are required in your package:

* One book of your choice. Think cozy!
* One thing that is edible. Cookies, candy, or even peanuts. It's all fair game.
* One warm beverage. Tea, coffee, cider, something else I haven't thought of?
* One handmade item. That's right! You're going to make something. Make an ornament, knit a scarf, draw a picture. Your choice!
* One bookmark. This can also be handmade, or store bought. Give your buddy something to help mark their place!
* A note to your lovely swap partner.

Money Limit:

Your box must contain items that add up to at least $20. Anything beyond that is your own personal choice, if you'd like to add extras. You may also add items that are not on the theme list if you so choose!

* Some helpful hints:
- Check out dollar stores. You can get lots of fantastic and fun items there!
- Shop the dollar spot at local stores like Target or Walmart.
- Go thrift store hunting. This is perfectly okay! Just make sure the item is in good condition. (A good rule of thumb is to think, "Would I want to receive this?")
- Re-gift something of yours (in good condition of course) that you think fits the box.
- Make something. It's cool to include something handmade. Again, just make sure it's something you'd like to receive yourself.

Shipping Information:

This swap is open to all members. All delivery confirmation numbers must be in no later than January 4th. This also means your box should be shipped no later than this date. You must procure a delivery confirmation number when sending your package, and include it in the form located here. No delivery confirmation means you won't be eligible for future swaps.


Ready to join in?

Fill out THIS FORM completely to sign up.

I'll match you with a swapping buddy and send out information as to who you will be mailing to. Please know I try to keep this a surprise, so you won't know who is mailing to you unless you specifically ask.

***Sign ups will be open until December 9th***

Late sign ups will not be accepted. I need that time to match people up and still give you ample time to go and do some shopping!


REMEMBER:

If you sign up, your are promising to send a package. Please make sure you can follow through! I never want anyone to end up without a box. Thanks!
hahahaha the form says Spooky Swap. Just FYI ;0)
Darn it! LOL. I thought I renamed it...

FIXED! Take that Google Drive.
My answers are so weird...

Oh, right, to my swap partner: I'm sorry. I'm really fucking bizarre. I've tried changing it, but I'm just happier this way.

Bizarre is sometimes easier to choose for. :)
Yay! I'm super excited about this!

Bizarre just makes it a million times more fun.
Huzzah for Strange! Because I'm kinda both excited and worried about Dr. Strange.

And agreed. I am so excited! Thank you for running this, Jessica. Also I think I made a mistake. Contacting you privately.
Sorry I've been MIA guys, but I'm so glad you're all on board for this! I can't wait to ship more goodies!

Me too. I'm already working on some of this, but I'm waiting on the food/drink just in case there are allergies. And the book because I don't know what I'll get for that depending on what they want.
Hey guys, just a reminder that if you haven't already you should join the Google Plus group for this swap! Just in case BL dies that week. Or forever. It's so so sad :(.

Joined! I am not sure how much longer I am willing to deal with the frustration of this place.

Ditto. You may see me a lot less come January on here.
I didn't forget about choosing swap partners for you all! Just trying to figure out what the best way is to navigate this going forward. Do we want to keep working through here, or mutiny over to G+? Give me some feedback :).
Need help?
