A "Very Vintage Halloween Swap"......
Sunday, August 3, 2008
It's true!......I have decided to host my own "little swap".....a "Very Vintage Halloween Swap"!
I have participated in a couple so far & found that they were simply delightful!!! It is a chance to meet some of the lovliest people & put together the most charming surprises!......I know it is August & we are all continuing to enjoy the summer, but I wanted to get this swap started, since I would love to give you all plenty of time.
So this is how it will work. You will have till Monday, August 25th to leave me a comment, letting me know you would like to participate....Please make sure you add your e-mail address to your comment so I can get in touch with you.....As soon as you sign up, I will be sending you each a tiny "Halloween Favor" for signing up....a small assortment of darling Halloween tags...courtesy of Holly at "mommyholly.etsy.com"..... I've also added a "button" to the right side of my blog, that you can add to your own blogs....Please help me spread the word! After I have all the participants, I will pair you up with a partner,..... e-mailing you to let you know who it is & their specifics.
As for what to send your lucky partner?....I think something with a "vintage feel" would be lovely! I know I always covet the darling Halloween items that look like pieces from years ago! It can be one thing or a grouping of little Halloween surprises....but should not exceed $20-$30. You are all a creative group out there!!...you could make something wonderful or purchase your gift!....Either way, please make sure & put a bit of thought in the presentation!...wrap in sweet paper, add a little ribbon, write a wee card!...make it something you would LOVE to receive!!!
And the last thing...You will be responsible to make sure & have your "Halloween" swap box in the mail & sent to your partner by Monday, September 22nd. That way we all will have our suprises in time to set out & use during the month of October.....Also I thought we might all enjoy seeing what each other received, so on Wednesday, October 1st, lets all post about this swap, showing all our "gifts"!!!.....I will add a list of all the participants & their partners & we can go down the list visiting each other! What a great way to kick off October!
So I invite you all to be part my "Very Vintage Halloween Swap"!!!!...I think it could be amazingly fun!!...& maybe a bit "spooky" in the process!....Sign up soon!......Your friend, Heidi XO
P.S. Of course I am hosting a Halloween swap..... After all, I am a naturally born "witch"......my birthday is October 31st!!!!....Bye for now!....

Hi Heidi, We still have just the arm brace, and David is only to take it off when he bathes! Which would be NEVER if left up to him! LOL! Why am I laughing...I should be shamed! Oh boys....LOL! We go back in 2 weeks and then hopefully we will be through with it all! The X-rays looked really good, though! I couldn't believe how much new bone had formed in just 2 weeks! We will have to throw "NO CAST PARTIES for David and Andrew that week! :)
Hope you are taking pictures as you rearrange your living room and are going to share! You have my curiousity up now! :) ~Rhonda

warm regards, Marja

PS. Found this through Dev The Fairy Glade
It's me still!
If I'm allowed to be included, one week will not be enough time for me and my swap friend to receive our gifts via international mail. Could the date of the gift display in one's own blog be postponed a little...?
Just my two cents. Cheers!
This sounds like blast... I'm in, I'm in, I'm in! Thanks so much for hosting :)

Hi. I love this idea. I would love to join - but with the caveat that my swap gift would have to be purchased as I'm not capable of "crafting" anything that would fit this category.
If that is acceptable please count me in!
Count me in for the swap! I love Halloween and this sounds like it would be so much fun.
