Join in: Snail Mail Holiday Swap

Don’t you just love getting parcels through the post? My friend Tracy and I do, so we thought we’d let you join in a little plan we have to share the handmade love this Christmas.

We are hosting a “Snail Mail Holiday Swap”.

The rules are simple. All you have to do is email us with the following information:
Your name and address, contact email and Ravelry / twitter name if you have one.
Tell us if you’re happy to post to UK /  Europe or worldwide
If you need to drop out for any reason, you must email us straight away so we can ensure no-one is disappointed.
By emailing us you agree to us sharing your address and email with your swap partner and post a hand made gift to your partner no later than 1st December (to give the recipient time to display it over the holidays and to ensure you don’t miss last posting dates.
Your “gift” should be hand made and fit into a regular A4 envelope. Nobody expects the expensive or the extravagant.

Think simple and remember the by words: re-use, re-craft, re-cycle. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of vintage or a bit of imaginative re-gifting!
I’ve already started making what I’ll put it my parcel (and I’ll be partnered with one of you lovely readers, so I won’t give away too much).
If you’re “in” leave a comment on this post and send us an email. We’ll add you to the swap list and post regular updates and reminders.
Entries will close on the 30th October, so everyone has time to plan and make their gifts.
Any questions? Just email us
And remember – everyone can take part, you need to have a blog or a website – just share our love for handmade gifting!
