Karyn, everything is welcomed. As you get someone's name keep their sign-up page that is sent to you. Then you have a good idea about them.Such as color favorites,if they are older with grand kids or younger with small children etc. Not every sign up page is filled out the same by the same person each month. I'm always changing mine. As we post on here you can find out about the persons pets, home, where they live (house,farm,apt. condo) If they work,travel on and on. That can help you decide on fabrics or themes too.This is such a easy laid back swap. So many worry to much. Enjoy it and just have fun. One thing more POST PICTURES OFTEN ...lol.
