Welcome to our Monthly Secret Pal Swap! We're thrilled to have you join this exciting and creative exchange. Each month brings a new opportunity to connect with fellow participants and spread some joy. Here are the key details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience:

How It Works:

· Please commit to participating only if you're confident you can fulfill your obligation. Failure to send a package after signing up may result in a ban from future swaps.

Sending Your Package:

After receiving your Secret Pal's details, let your creativity shine! As you put together a package, consider what your pal might enjoy.

· Feel free to include items from your stash, as many participants appreciate like-new stash items.

· To maintain the spirit of the swap, avoid sending items that are worn, damaged, or unfit for use.

· Once your package is ready to go, be sure to privately message Hav4boys to notify them about your mailing plans. This helps them keep track of the process.

International Shipping:

Sorry, I won't be able to participate this month. My Daughter is having back surgery, so Momma will be traveling to Ohio to provide some rehabilitation assistance. On a side note, I'll be able to cuddle on those Great Grands! A bittersweet reason for travel!
I'll be back in May!

My secret pal package went out yesterday. Enjoy! As always I had fun putting the package together. I did have to look up somethings as I was not familiar with some of the quilting items.
