13 Santas and the Yule cat of Iceland Swap = 14 Round two!!!
Guidelines:
Make 14 of a paper creation.
Max size is 5” X 7”. Any shape is fine.
Christmas theme of any kind. Just keep it secular, please.
Feel free to include a mini gift for each participant.
Please sign or label your creations, or the package if you're individually wrapping them. You're welcome to edition them (1/13, 2/12, etc.)
Mail me all 14 creations and make sure to include your address in the envelope. Include $7.60 cash for postage or Venmo or paypal me.
You must ship by Nov. 10 with tracking. I don't expect them to arrive Nov. 10 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 14 pieces, including one of their own.
If you haven't done a swap with me yet or if you've changed addresses since the last one, message me your address so I can update my doc.
I'll update this thread as we go.
Who’s avoiding the Yule Cat:

10. requiem 11. snow4197 12. jenna 13. gramma 14. pantsonfire
Love you all!!!
More info on the yule cat copied from an article in The Guardian: Gryla is a giant ogre who lives in a cave. During Christmas she emerges to hunt for children, which she kidnaps, takes to her cave, and cooks in a vat of stew.
Gryla has a variety of companions, including the Yule Lads – her 13 unruly troll children/Large Adult Sons – and the Jólakötturinn, or Yule Cat.
Did you think that the Yule Cat sits on your lap as you open gifts, playing with the wrapping paper and contributing to the overall atmosphere of cozy Christmas hygge? Wrong. The Yule Cat is terrifying.
Like Satan, walking among us like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, the massive Yule Cat lopes through town in the dark, peering into the lighted windows of children’s bedrooms. The only way to save yourself from being eaten is to show him that you got clothes for Christmas because you were good this year. If you didn’t get any new clothes, you leave out old clothes, and hope to God they meet his standards.

Updated the info!
We'll keep it open for 13 but can go up to 14 if a a lot of people want to join.
Before November, I'll firm up that number.
So glad there's so much interest!

Shall we place bets on whether a hurricane will hit Florida during this swap too? 😉😆
Super excited! I'm putting my craft room back together now, so hopefully I will get to play with goodies soon.

I'd like to play again please Yes, you're both good! I think 14 is fine. I closed the swap and we'll go with 14 total (always room for the Yule Cat). I was camping and didn't have cell service so I just saw this. |

I am spending my Halloween finishing up my swap pieces. I am hoping to post a sneak peek later on today and mail sometime this week before Friday. I am ready to set up my Christmas tree now, haha. I blame all of the Hallmark Christmas movies I keep watching.  |

I blame all of the Hallmark Christmas movies I keep watching. I watched a Christmas movie on Netflix last night because Mondays are just awful. It was not the best. The male lead was just not attractive. The whole thing was weird. Don't recommend. It was called I Believe in Santa. |

Just finishing up 6 pieces that need to be colored then I am done. Also need to pick up some cute treat bags and get tags made for the numbers.
You want it to say "pantsonfire 1", "pantsonfire 2", etc correct?

Mine are done and will be postal tomorrow. I’m going out of town soon so mailing mine a couple days early. Will PM you with tracking info once I have it. Need to send you $$ while I’m thinking about it, too. |
