Hi All, I am so sorry, this is not like me at all, but my MIL passed away unexpectedly and I am swamped with funeral arrangements, relatives coming in from out of town, cleaning out her house and 1000 other things that go along with it. I can't see myself having barely a moment to craft over the next two weeks, and I haven't even started. I apologize, hopefully there is someone who wanted to join but could not, but if no one wants to replace me, I will just send 13 craft items, they just won't be homemade. blemon, I did PM you, but also wanted to post here. Again, I am so sorry. (and sad too, not really in a crafty headspace) |

azcrafty and Ryann, thank you. It was very quick, she had been hospitalized with pneumonia and did not recover. I think we are still in shock, she was fairly young.

ETA: if you need an extra person I was on the fence about joining... I could jump in so kmage doesn't have to worry about sending anything. |

Hi all, I've looked at the calendar and the deadline and think we can push it back a few days. Since I will ship priority mail, I think we have some wiggle room. Instead of the 11th, let's move the postmark date to Tuesday, Nov. 15. That will give everyone an extra weekend. Then hopefully everyone will receive their package before Thanksgiving. I'll be sending everyone a message soon! I have a really busy day at work. and sarahsprettypapers I already told you this on instagram but I am LOVING your sneak. |

Ok, I just sent all of the participants and email and I have almost all addresses and all of the initials.
We are good to go!
Now, I just need to bust out these last couple of October Daily stories so I can get started.

I find it amusing that for both swaps, I am having to mail a bit early because of a potential tropical storm/hurricane hitting Florida. 😁
I will be mailing these this afternoon. Mailing swaps is now officially on the hurricane prep checklist! 😉

Thanks! And yup, first Ian, now Nicole. This one should definitely be smaller, so that's good.
My swap pieces are in the mail now, too. I will send you the tracking info. 😊

You guys, I must confess that I really stuck with the theme of the 13 santas of Iceland with my swap.
It's been way too fun.
I have used a stencil with paste, my sewing machine, made a trip to Michaels, and used the silhouette on a design that I made from a photo!

I did not want to do 12 days of christmas because then someone would be left out. I then thought anymore than 15 is just too much. So it had to be 13 or 14 so I looked online and here we are! LOL. |

I just want to say hats off to every single person who uses dies regularly and never again will I scoff at the cute holiday banners I see on Etsy as being too expensive because HO BOY-O AM I OVER THIS. So much of "where did that tiny piece of paper go I literally just cut" and glueing my fingers to random things  |
