Holiday swap 2012?

doncherryfan · **Posted:** Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:47 pm

Hi all!

I think it was about this time last year that I organized one of these.. are people up for another one this year? Search function isn't working for me, so I can't see if there's already a thread for this. But I'm happy to organize it if not, it was lots of fun last year!

A swap is exactly what I need right now. <3

Hells to the yes!

Yes! Let's do it! I was just wondering about this the other day.

I said yes last night. It seems everything that was posted last night was deleted though...

I'd like to join this year!

Hooray! Glad there's interest..

So, how does this sound to everyone? We can do around the same amount as last year (~$20). If you want to be in the swap this year, send me a PM with the following:

- your name and address
- whether you're willing/would like to ship internationally or not
- anything special you'd like to receive
- anything special you're able to send
- any past swap buddies

Everyone cool with a Friday, November 30th deadline for signing up? i'll match people up over that weekend.

I guess my original reply got eaten by Spammergate so I'll try again. I would love to participate in this, but I have to confess that I have still not sent out all my spring swap packages (though, to be fair, neither have most of the people with whom I was swapping ;-) ) I am still going to send these, and I feel sure that I can and will send my holiday swap out on time, but I would understand if you felt like I shouldn't participate since I do still have incomplete swaps. Please let me know and I'll totally respect your decision either way.

Please join! Whoever gets matched with you will be very lucky. I still have fond memories of those cookies you sent out for the v-day swap...mmm.

Also, anyone who's willing to ship carefully to avoid certain ingredients for people with allergies etc... let me know that too.

I think my reply got deleted as well :( I'm in Portland and I want to play!

joyfulgirl · **Posted:** Mon Nov 19, 2012 9:04 am

My original post got deleted too, but I'm in! Can we do non-food treats too? I like crafting for ppkers and the hat phoenix made me last year is like my favorite thing ever.

I included crafts in things I could send/would like--I think I've included something handmade in most of the swaps I've done here.

I too like sending handmade gifts!

Yes! Although so far everyone who has signed up has been from the US, so hopefully we'll get some international PPK-ers signing up this week..
