The season is approaching


Last year I participated in handmade stocking stuffer exchange. It was a lot of fun. It was also a huge help, since I didn't have to try to come up with more than one gift idea. As I've been getting prepared for the up coming holiday season, I've wanted to participate in another exchange, so I decided to host one.

Anyone interested in joining the exchange should send me an email by November 1st with:
Your name
Your children's names, ages & gender
Mailing address

Carriebeachey@yahoo.com

Then November 8th I'll send out an email to everyone participating in the exchange with the above information. Then come up with one idea & make enough for each child on the list.
All stocking stuffers should be made & shipped by December 6th so there is plenty of time for the packages to reach each recipient.

The list of participants has gotten rather large.  It's very exciting to see so many people interested in joining us! I will be splitting the list up into smaller groups. Each group will have no more than 15 children in it.

I'm so excited to be doing this again this year! I had so much fun deciding what to make, making each gift & then seeing the packages come in with different gifts for my children. This is one way that we can stick to having a  handmade Christmas without having to come up with more than one stocking stuffer idea.

This swap is now closed. 
Thank you to all how have joined in this swap!
