well I finished my house.. in the woods and its in the mail!
oh yeah! I have decided if a specific block is not picked I will do one block for all my swaps that month which in theory might make me better at that block by the end. do it once.. good, do it twice, better.. three times? the charm! I had colors given this month to me twice and one specific buildings.. so I chose a home in the woods. I hope that answers your question on what we do. its different each month as your partner is different each month. I pray I don't get Dresden plates! yikes that would really push me!!
