Ok, I'll unlock it this time, but next time, remember to have an extra key in your pocket!

Another first timer to this...I know if we make baked goodies that it doesn't count toward the $20. My question is: if we make handmade items for the person, how does that count towards the $20?

If you are ONLY putting in handmade items, then that would be counting towards the $20

Ok, me and my hubby are both signed up for this swap now. I can't remember if I announced it or not. :D

What if it is a mixture of handmade and store bought? How does the handmade count? Do you just count how much the actual materials are to make it toward the $20?

I LOVE the coal candy!! I wish I had this when I was teaching!! I still have 14 grandchildren that I can make it for tho!! Thanks so much for sharing..For that I would let you out!!

I don't know about the coal, looks interesting, Kind of like black licorice which my Dad really loves but got upset because it made his teeth black. This will be fun, I love doing the SP swap every month and geezs this is Christmas!!! Might have to get the large flat rate box instead of the medium. I'm thinking and thinking but I would gladly except a decorated christmas tree. Have a stash box filled and think I need to grab at least one of each thing I have stashed, then wait for my name, think about her favorite colors, pick out FQ's and go from there. Santa's coming to town. Lordy this might be the 1st year I say yeah!!!! stores are getting holiday stuff already.
