    Default June Secret Pal Swap - closes May 31

    Welcome to the Monthly Secret Pal Swap!

    We’re so excited to have you join this fun and creative exchange. Each month, we come together to spread joy, connect with fellow members, and share our love for quilting and sewing. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this special program:
    How It Works
    • Monthly Participation: You can join the swap each month based on your schedule and interest.
    • New Partner Each Month: Every month, you’ll be paired with a different Secret Pal, keeping things fresh and exciting. I will PM partner by the end of June 2.
    • Commitment is Key: Please only sign up if you’re confident you can fulfill the obligation. Missing a swap may result in exclusion from future swaps.
    • Please keep the package cost around $20, not including stash items or shipping.
    Sending Your Package
    • Mail Deadline: All packages should be mailed by June 20.
    • Thoughtful Gifts: Use your creativity to assemble a thoughtful package your Secret Pal will love! You can include items from your stash as long as they are like-new and in good condition.
    • Package Quality: Avoid sending items that are worn, damaged, or unsuitable for use. Let’s keep the swap enjoyable for everyone.
    • Shipping Confirmation: Once your package is mailed, send a private message to Hav4boys with your shipping details to help us track the process.
    International Shipping
    • Mail Early: For international participants, mail your package by June 10 to ensure it arrives on time.
    • Customs Tips: Mark your package as a “Gift” on the Customs Declaration with a value of $10 to avoid extra charges for your recipient.
    Communication
    • Receiving Packages: When you receive your package, send a private message to your Secret Pal to let them know. A quick thank-you message goes a long way!
    • Share the Joy: Please share photos of your received items in the group. It’s always wonderful to see creativity and care in each swap.
    Sign-Up Details
    • Questionnaire: Complete the sign-up questionnaire and send it via private message to Hav4boys.
    • Deadline: Sign-ups close on May 31.
    We can’t wait to see the connections and surprises this month will bring! Thank you for being a part of the Monthly Secret Pal Swap, and let’s make it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

    Happy swapping!
    -Kathy McCloud

    We are in June, but I hope my May secret pal received her package. It took me way too long to get the handmade item done. I send some extra for being so late and I hope it makes up for it. Hugs

    I ordered one of the most liked items for my June secret pal. There will be a little wait, but I am already happy to have found it.

    I put my June package in the mailbox a few days ago, so it’s on its way!

    My swap partner's package also went out a couple of days ago. I always love seeing what everyone sent.
