Don't think I really gave enough info when I sent my PM. If you want more info, please PM me again and I will give more info.

you can just send me more info about likes/dislikes if you want.
If the person that is sending is at a loss as to what to find, I will act as a go-between to get more info for them.

What to send for gifts?
extra fat quarters
thread
pins/needles
candy
chocolate
buttons(novelty, cute ones for decorating quilts and such)
cutting blades
patterns
chocolate
thread catcher (one person already said they were going to make their person one and a few have put down asking for one)
templates
marking pens
marking pencils
chocolate
charm packs
magazines
books
chocolate

Oh my! I noticed I put chocolate down a few times. lol
Hope this small list helps

Just signed up. Love this swap

I'm so glad I was thinking about this today. Have been super busy babysitting with my dad in hospital. Glad I found it. Didn't want to miss it this year.

I already found stuff in my stash for extras. Little buttons, appliques, ribbons, and tools.


Santa Claus is coming to town!!!

Yes, pull from your stash!
We all have something in our stashes that we don't use/need.

What is it about quilters and chocolate???? It's at the top of my list, after fabric, of course!

LOL Sharet, you sound a lot like me!

oh, I've been trying to be better. Now that I have such a small extended family left, and they're so far away, and hubs #2 is NOT into any holiday at all, I look forward to my secret santas with anticipation. I save everything until Christmas eve, when I open 1 santa gift (cus, growing up and most of my life most of Christmas fell on Christmas eve), and open the rest Christmas morning - so I have suprises. Hubs doesnt min "giving" me gifts (paying!), as long as I pick them out, pick them up and wrap them lol. sharet

Jingle bells,
Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
in a one horse open sleeeeeiiiigh

Everybody sing . . . .. .
