Thinking.............

About the SSCS.................
I will be checking if you are blogging this year and if not you won't be in............I know lots of you rarely blog and lots of you are great bloggers............this year it will be the deciding factor if your in or out...............the dark side does not count in the SSCS Swap...........once a month is what you need to do as a minimum so it's not much 2 posts would be great........but you can't expect to join a swap and have someone make a present for you and you have not blogged for months...................
Oh and if your not sure the SSCS = Secret Santa Christmas Swap.........
things going as they are now it will be running...........
no sign ups accepted yet though..........
.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

I have a problem I am addicted to blogging can't wait xxx

Quiltmoose - Dagmar said...

That's fine with me :) You are right - it's difficult to come up with something nice if you don't know anything about your partner. Looking forward to this great swap!

Simone Harding said...

Great idea.
Am limiting my swaps for this year. So far no Xmas swaps. Have to keep an eye out for yours.

Wendy said...

So glad you are running this again this year Chooky. One of my favorites and am looking forward to it.

Denice Barker said...

You are absolutely right! Thanks in advance for doing this swap again. I love it.

Farmyard Stitches said...

I'll get my butt into gear. I love being a part of the SSCS! (I know I've been missing in action for a while though!)

Jeanette said...

Love SSCS. It's the only Christmas swap i'm planning(hoping) on joining this year. Hugs,xx

Maria said...

I love your swap and look forward to it. I'm dropping other swaps though as they require too many items...I don't mind makingva heap of stuff but the fact is, that at my time of life, I don't need a heap of stuff being given to me as I already have list! I like your idea of an ornament and just 1 item that must entail a fair bit of effort.

hmmm.... just how many whips do you actually have Chooky!!! lol!!! All sounds about right to me though!!

Anthea said...

Hi Chooky, this is an issue on a lot of peoples minds, I suspect... but that no one writes/talks about openly & honestly.
It's definitely hard to make for someone who doesn't blog regularly, so I thank you for declaring that SSCS girls need to be doing that.
If the person is not bothering with blogging but is on IG or FB more, what REALLY is the reason of wanting to do a blog-based swap?
In my mind , I see swaps as being the exchanging of skills, time, thought & effort... not just the chance to see how many swaps I have my name down for.

Michelle Ridgway said...

Hi Chooky. I haven't been able to take part before but would love to this year....does that rule me out??? I blog at least a couple of times a week x

Bizzy Martine said...

I can't wait to participe once again!!!! I began blogging 24th of august in 2010 because I wanted to participe the SSCS.
Now 5 years later I'm still blogging, not as often as I want, because the things in live that happen, but I'll keep on blogging for the lovely and kind readers that I have.
Have a nice day,
Martine

Clare said...

For me now SSCS is part of my Christmas. I would so miss finding new friends.Happy Stitching.

Diane-crewe said...

ooh goody I LOVE this swap ... and I promise to continue to be a good Blogger xx

Maria said...

Yes please Chooky I would love to participate again. I really enjoy this swap. I do think it is important to be an active blogger as it helps us to make our partners gifts.

gracie said...

Your swap is the best! I agree with the non-bloggers....it is so nice to be able to "meet" people you are swapping with. I hope to be accepted again.

Thimbleanna said...

Haha -- this post made me laugh. Look at you cracking the whip!!! You Go Girl!!!

Flickenstichlerin said...

WOW, great news, I have been waiting for this since last Christmas,
Greetings,
Sylvia

Carole said...

Ditto what Anna said! lol Crack that whip girl! lol

Queen Of The Armchair aka Dzintra Stitcheries said...

Well said Chookyblue!

Janice said...

I'm glad you are on the ball. We'll have to be thinking about this before we know it.

Show and Tell said...

Yay! I'd love to take part again and I have been a good little blogger this year xxx

Asta Buchanan said...

Have not taken part before but would love to this year - just missed your last years "weekend" only sign up - and I do blog regularly... have loved "meeting" other bloggers through SAL 2015!

Nemo said...

Seems Christmas will come this year too.. *cheers!*

Lynn said...

This seems really fair ! I'll sit this year out. I wish I had more time to sew and to blog. But at the last minute if someone flakes out you know I'll always step in.

Noémia said...

You are very right. It's very difficult to do something to someone who we don't know and say or post nothing in her blog. I've been a good blogger ( I think) and I wope don't misse SSCS this year. Hugs. :)

Laila said...

Ups. Then I have to blog more... I try to do it atlast once every month,but this year has been soo busy..
Ok,I must ( hope) to be a part of this years SSCS too,so now I know what I have to so a lot more...
:-))

Unknown said...

I totally agree. It's so hard to make for those who don't have a blog or blog once a year..... Well I can hardly talk lol. Going to see if I can sort the iPad out for blogging, then I can do it in my lunchtimes. Fingers crossed... Famous last words haha
