I'm sure we can all feel the approach of Spring and like many we are restless for it to arrive so we can say goodbye to winter. A number of bloggers have asked when the next swap will be, so here's the perfect opportunity for a swap, to welcome in Spring.This will be a little different from the previous swaps, in that I'm going to leave it up to the individuals as to what they will include in their parcels.
What's required: Three items with a Spring theme, and at least one of these items MUST be handmade.
So here’s how it will work. This swap will be open to international swappers, so please be prepared to swap with someone overseas. I’ll try and match up as I did in the previous swaps, so that you get someone from another country, and you get a different swapper from the previous swaps, depending on the number who sign up, makes it so much more interesting and fun, plus it’s a great way of making new friends.It will again be a secret swap, makes for more interest, trying to guess who your partner is. You need to have an active blog, this means you make regular posts, (please don’t email me and ask if you can join in if you don’t have a blog). You need to have an email attached to your blog address so that I can keep in contact with you. PLEASE make sure you do NOT have your settings at No Reply. If you’re not sure how to change it then pop on over to Donna's blog and read this post. A thank you is a must. Please take the time and write your swap partner a thank you once you have received your parcel. A simple thank you on your blog just doesn’t cut it. Swap on time, if you have a problem please let me know so I can let your partner know there will be a little delay. We all know how life sometimes gets in the way of our plans. If you're interested you can set up a special email account so that you can keep in contact with your swap partner, without giving away your identity. So, you may be interested in that. You are more than welcome to include other items in your parcel, but it is NOT a requirement for the swap. Please include in your parcel, your name, email address and your blog address. This saves me a lot of time forwarding this information onto your partner and allows your partner to let you know the parcel has arrived safely and offer her thanks. Once you have received your parcel, please email me so I can mark it off against your name, this way I can keep track of the parcels.
As in the last swap, if you sign up and do not fulfil your swap you will be named publicly.
