I would like to join. I've never done a swap and I don't have an idea yet, but I'll think of something! 😀

I know what shape my item will take but I don't know exactly what it will look like yet. I'm certainly having fun buying supplies. Ha! You're on the list. |

I won't be able to this time, but will keep my eyes open for another one. I loved doing swaps on the Scrapbook.com board way back when!

I would like to join. I used to do many swaps with the old Papercrafts message board. I already have some ideas!

Okay so I am starting on mine. Question: is this something that can be added to a scrapbook page, card, pocket page, etc? Like however the recipient sees fit?
This is my first ever swap like this so I want to make sure I get this right.

It can be anything -- a card, an art doll, a pocket card, embellishment. As long as it's Halloween themed and relatively flat (so that it will fit in the envelopes), it's good to do. I personally am making a 4X6 card because I'm going October Daily but that's not a rule I want people to feel free to be creative. |

I'm having a blast picking up stuff. If you host a Christmas one, you can just add me to that list too. 😊 My plan for today is to hide from the children (grandparents are on duty!), listen to SBC Fest and work on my swap pieces! I really hope to post a sneak peek later today. |

My daughter wants to join! She's 14 and does amazing hand lettering and is a whiz with wax seals. Are there any quotes you would this, how fun thayulike to see? She can do something custom for each of you. We do have orange and black paper (I think black, I'll have to check). Also purple, most colors. She has some cool metallic markers. They look best on dark colors. Let me know. I just saw this, how fun that she wants to join! I would be happy with any Halloween sayings. Happy Halloween, Eek!, Boo!, Trick or Treat, I could easily use them all. |

Awesome! We are on it!!
She’s going to do some tests today.
And yes, I’ll definitely do a Christmas swap. I like making stuff but also need a reason.

Okay, I have 7 done so far and got some treat bags to put everything in. Do I add a tag to the bag with my name so everyone knows it is from me?

Awesome! And sure. That’s a good idea. I didn’t think to label mine but I will do something.

If I remember correctly from my last swap, I had to label each bag with my name, then we also marked it as 1 of 13, 2 of 13, 3 of 13, etc. so the hostess could easily match things up for mailing. So that is how I plan to do it.

Hi everyone!
Since the swap is full, I closed it and just sent a message to everyone with my address.
Please let me know if you did not get that.
Thanks!
I'm really looking forward to this.
Post some sneaks when you have some.

Just posting to let you know I am going to try and mail these out tomorrow. There is a potential hurricane threat for Florida next week, and I want to make sure nothing happens to them due to the storm. I will keep you posted!

Thanks everyone, we plan to prep all weekend long for potential Hurricane Hermine (although I am choosing to call it Hermione). The cone/pathway of the storm is currently pointing right at us, but so much can change in a week.
Not going to lie, I enjoy crazy weather. I was raised by a weather nerd, and yes, I sat on the porch while Hurricane Irma was passing through a few years ago. And I was on ride out crew for Disney World during Hurricane Matthew.
I did get the swap pieces in the mail yesterday, so they will be safe elsewhere in the United States. 😊
