I've only been in this swap 4times now, so I don't know if my vote will count or not, but, skipping December with a theme for January would be great. Although if we have a theme for January, I could use the December and January time to really get creative. Why don't we sign up for December/January now, get our partners at the first of December then they wouldn't be due out till the January deadline........just a thought, and any theme y'all choose is fine with me. For me, the sooner I get a partner.....the better, and the thought of having two months to work on it would be nice, considering December is really busy anyways.
