I want to do a christmas/winter themed swap after this one. It would be nice if everyone had thiers in early. Hint hint ... lol!

I will not swap out the blocks until the last of the swap. I will try and make sure everyone gets different blocks back. But, I want you all to know that there might be a block back of your own. I certainly cannot control that without putting a cap on the swappers. It should be fine though, don't worry. That is what you have me for! LOL!
There are other things that must be done besides just swapping them out. LOL! Those things are the measuring, inspecting, making sure there is enough postage on the envelopes for returning your blocks, filling out declaration papers for blocks going out of country, ect. That is just having to do with the blocks, not keeping account of the swappers, notifications, ect.
Don't you worry, I will do the very best organizing I know how to do. LOL! I bet you thought that I just sat around eating bon bon's ... LOL!

I hope this doesn't cause you any problems.

Oh yeah, I forgot this was one of the swaps that you needed the envelope also. I was asking because if you pay for your flat rate envelope online, it is $4.75 plus free delivery confirmation. That way it saves me a dollar each way for all of the swaps that I am in. Sorry to confuse you... new to the online shipping but find it so much nicer than having to go to the post office with the two year old LOL

I'm trying but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it done before then. I cut 2 sets and am now embroidering. I was going to take them with me on vacation to finish but I may just zip through them before then...

Last Christmas I participated in the santa theme blocks. Only swap I've done and it was AWESOME! To think I have blocks from around the US and world. I love a swap. I'm working on my halloween blocks to swap.
Just a thought, since there's all kinds of Christmas maybe a more focused theme? Theme- Christmas songs some examples would be 12 days of Christmas, jingle bells, 3 kings, I saw mommy kissing santa. Just a thought...

I am sorry the administration perfers to leave it open so all persons can participate in the swap. That is the reason it is winter/christmas.
But, I am glad you are making your blocks to swap with us. We are looking forward to seeing them!
I finished up my last halloween set today. I will share with everyone a little later. "~)

We have a new swapper mizkyp. This is her first swap, so please welcome her!
I finished my last set so I thought maybe you all might want to see them. I decided on sparkly ghosties looking though the window and the last set. What do you all think?
