Welcome Foolish Mortals Halloween swap. Max # of participants is 12 (plus me = 13). Rules: Make 13 of a paper creation. Max size is 5” X 7”. Any shape is fine. Halloween theme of any kind from spooky and scary to cute and fuzzy. Feel free to include a mini gift for each participant like a small bag of sequins or a die cut. Mail me all 13 creations and make sure to include your address in the envelope. Include $7 cash for postage or Venmo me. You must ship by Sept. 15 with tracking. I don't expect them to arrive Sept. 15 but they should be postmarked by then. As soon as I get them I will sort and ship them out. Everyone will get one full set of 13 pieces. To sign up, post here. PM me your address and I will send my address back as well. I don’t think international will work because of how long it takes to shop. I'll make any updates to the rules in this first post. Really looking forward to this!! On board the doom buggy: 1. blemon 10. @northrigg

Don’t we actually make 12? I don’t want you to send me back what I made and sent to you, do I?

I’m in. I really enjoyed this last year!! Woot!! ’m in. I really enjoyed this last year!! Me too! I got you down. Don’t we actually make 12? I don’t want you to send me back what I made and sent to you, do I? No. You make 13. It's really hard to keep track of who has sent what and then address all the packages individually. So you'll get back one of your own. I make 13 piles, pack them all up, print out all the addresses, then send them all out. |

This was a lit of fun last year, but I'm going to sit this one out and wait for the Christmas one.

I've been really enjoying the larger happy mail exchanges. This one is half the size, but the timing with my vacation coming up and then moving my younger to campus is awkward. I don't think I can commit to this.

I have no chill and started pulling supplies for this yesterday. And it isn't even full yet, haha. I love swaps!
All of those Hallmark Christmas movies last month made me excited for the holiday season and so ready for Halloween.

All of those Hallmark Christmas movies last month made me excited for the holiday season and so ready for Halloween. Yes! Me, too!!! I was laid up in an Airbnb in July with some foot/leg injuries and watched SO many christmas movies that week. I’m so ready for stormy weather and the holidays. And cookies; Hallmark movies always talk about baking cookies, lol. |

I have no ideas yet!
But I'm excited for this swap and for october scrapbooking.
Does the Dollar Tree have their stuff out yet? I need to get over there.
And someone posted Joanna Parker Halloween towels are at Home Goods so I might just need to drive across town.

Loved doing this last year but unfortunately I won't have time this year.
Hope everyone shares photos of what they make this year. I still have my Halloween album of the things everyone made last year.

You guys are awesome! My supplies are out. I know what I'm going to do. I just have to figure out how I'm going to do it.
I did buy some cool stuff at the dollar store that they say is leather (it's not. I don't buy leather). But it's printed with cool skeletons and stuff so I'm going to be using that in my item.
I'd love to see some sneaks.
And if you're on Instagram, share your username so we can follow.

Here is what I made for last year's Halloween swap: http://instagram.com/p/Ciq77eCu5BA I made a shaker moon, some die cut clouds, stamped bat friends, a tag, and I think I included a few random stickers and extra sequins. I loved everything I recieved from last years swap! I remember getting tags, pre-made embellishment clusters, die cuts, charms, all sorts of goodies. I know someone posted all of the items on Instagram, was it you blemon? Maybe I can dig up the old thread and look. |

Here's mine from last year: http://instagram.com/p/CjocfSNuQiN I made a pocket out of black cardstock and a felt skull I got at the dollar store. Then I made a tag to go inside with a little cluster of tags tied in the ribbon. Everyone did something different and it was so cool. I used all the projects throughout my October Daily.
Also just realized that a couple of photos before that I took photos of everything I got from the others.
