image: the purl beehi bloggie friends! i had an idea for a crafts/gift swap for the holidays but i didn't quite get around to it. so, being that the next gift exchanging holiday is valentine's day, i wanted to invite you all to participate!
i originally came across this idea years ago on the free people blog and was excited to share with you all. so here's how it'll work:
- comment (please provide an email address where you can be reached) and/or email me with your interest and let me know if you wouldn't mind an overseas swap partner (because even our bloggie friends abroad can participate, yay)
- please make sure you're interested and commited to sending a gift so that everyone receives one
- i'll pair everyone up with a partner and on january 16th i'll email you with your partner's email address so you can contact each other and exchange mailing addresses
- i'll even provide a brief, fun little questionnaire that everyone can fill out in order to get to know their swap partner better
- i'll post a reminder to ship out your swap gift around the first week of february. remember, we want everyone to get their gift in time for valentine's day!
- your swapping gift does not have to be completely homemade and you're more than welcome to purchase something for your partner (price range~$10) but the key is to be creative as you all usually are and most importantly, have fun! you can click here for some inspiration.
sign up will last through the end of next week (lets say, Friday January 15th). Spread the news to all the amazing, fashionable, creative people we know through our blog community. i know there are a number of us who kind of "know" each other but this is a great chance to get to know each other a lil more and of course, new members are more than welcome to participate. i will be participating as well :)
feel free to contact me with any questions!

UPDATE: hi again! i tried to make my rounds around the blogsphere to let you all know about the swap, but i'm running out of steam lol. please pass on the info to other bloggers who might want to join in on the fun :)

Thank you so much for inviting me to participate Tippy! Unfortunately the dates of my vacation are pretty much the least compatible with the exchange -- I leave the 15th and I wouldn't be back till the end of the month, so I wouldn't be the best participant. However, I hope you guys have fun, it sounds like it's going to be great!
count me in! first time commenting here BTW, but I read your blog all the time.

Hi Tippy!
Yes I'd love to participate. Best part is my address is FPO AP, meaning it's still US Priority like you're sending mail within the continental US.
