    Default April Secret Sign-Up: Closes Midnight March31

    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:

    · This is a monthly swap where you can sign up each month based on your availability and interest.

    · Every month, you'll be paired with a different partner, enhancing the element of surprise and fun.

    · 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:

    ·Mail Package by April 22.

    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:

    · For international mailings, it's crucial to mail by April 10th to ensure timely delivery.

    · When sending internationally, mark your parcel as a 'Gift' on the Customs Declaration, with a value of $10. This can help avoid unnecessary import charges for the recipient.

    Communication:

    · Maintain open communication by sending a private message to your Secret Pal when you receive their package. Expressing gratitude is an important part of the swap and lets your pal know their efforts are appreciated.

    · Feel free to take pictures of your received items and share them in the group. It's always delightful to see the creativity and thoughtfulness that goes into each package.

    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.
