Stuffed Stocking Swap:
When you sign up put 6 things you like to collect, your favorite colors, scents, etc, to help your partner find just the right thing for you to stuff your stocking..
You will make your partner or purchase your partner a Christmas stocking and fill to the brim with all wonderful things. The stocking can be like one of the red velvet ones and you decorate the top with something wonderful or you can make your own from scratch. It is senders choice!! Each gift included in the stocking will need to be wrapped so the anticipation will be at it's highest!! Gifts can be handmade or all store bought or a mix of both! Farmgirls are really easy to please, just nicely thought out purchases and loving thoughts as you wrap your pretties will go a long way.
So start thinking...The size of the stocking should be no smaller that 12 inches and as large as you like..No set number of gifts...just a swap nicely done and gifts that you would choose for yourself!
Sign up day ends November 12th**************Send out no later that December 10!!
Start now...No last minute doings here and by all means if you cannot follow thru or if something comes up please bow out of the swap before partners are assigned...If you are assigned partners and cannot follow thru, contact your partner, then me and your swap will be fulfilled. Saying this, I cannot angel more than one failed swap.....so I know you girls will do your best!! Right? Right!!!!!
Have fun...There are a lot of bazaars and craft fairs out there....Good ideas for this swap!!
Smiles...
You can never be to kind! |

| Beth - I'd LOVE to participate in this swap...but I'm from Canada - will that be an issue for anyone? I don't mind at all, but just thinking on other people's behalf. For me it's actually cheaper to ship to USA then to most places in Canada! Joyce |

Welcome girls....Can you believe Christmas is just a little over 2 months away....I can't I don't think Canadian shipping will be an issue, if it is let me know and I will not pair you with our Canadian friends...I will be able to do the postage...I understand..I sent a swap a while back to Australia (not MJF) and it almost broke the bank...Never again that far!! Smiles, Beth
