i'm nuts I know but yes it's on...........

So whats on you ask.............

If you have done the previous 6 years you know exactly what's on..........

I am way beyond busy at the moment but I know some of you have emailed me....

"is it on???" 

I have agonised about this for weeks now - should I do it, could i do it, how ???

I though my SSCS buddies who have done it every year would be disappointed like me at Christmas time with no swap present to open since this will be the 7th year....

Well thanks to Googy Girl @ Too Many Eggs the SSCS Secret Santa Christmas Swap will run this year........so you may get emails from either of us...........

PS don't forget to thank Googy Girl for helping make it possible this year

PSS swap details added 

The rules are simple

NO 1 Make a beautiful gift (love, time and effort required) – you can make whatever you want eg, bag, wall hanging, stitchery, table runner, Christmas theme (optional) ...send something you would love to receive... 

(not something you whip up in a couple of hours)

NO 2 Make a small decoration that can be hung on a Christmas tree (simple or fiddly up to you)

### Don't tell anyone who your SSCS partner is please. This is a secret until they receive their parcel or Christmas Day shhhhhhhhh!!!!!! A different person will be sending to you....

### international postage essential (think about weigh of parcel)

### You need to have an active blog .....posting a couple of times a month.... so your partner can sneak a peek and get ideas of what to make for you and they know you are active.....therefore existing

###  Postage is between 18th and 22nd November to ensure your partner gets their present before Christmas (reason for swap)

### Make sure you "thank" your Santa - very important and post about your present when you receive it..........

### If you are difficult to contact you may be dropped from the SSCS.....several times between now and the deadline I email out and you MUST reply...so if you are going away for a week or 2 just let me know

### If everyone can follow the above it will make for another very successful SSCS..... less headaches for me.........

### Any problems make sure you contact me sooner rather than later

Please don't sign up

• if you are not prepared to send (non-senders are named)
• if you’re too busy
• if you’re not committed to making and sending quality handmade gifts
