YAY...you're doing a winter one...was bummed I missed the fall :)

Woohoo....I think I am in this one. Let me get organized this weekend, and I'll PM you.

LOVE SWAPS! I usually put who I send to and who sends to me in my buddy list-they are all like long lost sisters!

I pm'd you. Just loved the Fall swap. And this one should be fun, too.

I am so enjoying these swaps. I just PM'd you would love to participate.

Why washed?

can we request certain winter colors?

Why Washed - Well that is part of the general board rules :wink: And some people will be pulling from their stash and the receiver might have allergies - perfume, smoke, dust , etc, so it is to be nice :lol:

Colors choices - Well you really won't know who is sending to you until you receive them . Again some will be pulling from their stash and they might have the reds and greens and you want blues and whites - if they send you the colors that they have you won't be happy - if they have to go buy , it might put them in a difficult position :lol:

I do want to stay away from Christmas as some don't celebrate the holiday and others prefer to keep winter decorations out longer :thumbup:

Just PM'd you. :)

Count me in .................PLEASE !!

pm'd you...would love to join....count me in...gina
