You need one with a plug to keep extra warm
Happy Birthday Suzanne....I'll be 51 on the 27th, I am hoping to be off the bench by then. It's getting kinda cold here....Bringing a lap quilt to keep warm.....

I'm new to this and just assume that we all would exceed $10 to justify the postal cost which could cost half as much as the products. Anyway I can't wait to join in this monthly swap! It sounds like so much fun just to put a package together let alone get one too!!

I agree with Suzanne. It is good for thinking outside the box. Like you, when I started I thought the $10 were too little, but then when I started adding this and that, and making this and pulling that, you'll be amazed!
Have fun with it!
The reason we do a limit is that some people are on fixed incomes. You can really do a lot with 10 dollars. We buy things when they are on sale, you can send a block, pincushion, potholders etc that you have made. You can also send patterns you may have already done, you changed your mind and now don't want to do it or you bought on sale. You can put together little kits from your stash for a block, postcards, keychains from where you live. There is really a lot you can do with 10 dollars.

I agree there's a lot you can do to "enhance" the $10 limit.

When I find stuff for a really good price I buy lots of it and just store it for uh oh gifts (forgotten birthdays, unexpected invitations etc..) and of course now the SP swaps, I have 1 shelf and 1 cabinet full of things that I have collected over the last year, so I spend my ten on something my SP wants and then pull from my cabinet to fill the package. I don't have much fabric stash yet, I just started sewing "full time" in July so that is slowly building lol.
