2012 - __?
If you want to see what happened previous years go to my labels and choose Secret Santa Christmas Swap or SSCS08, SSCS09, SSCS10 SSCS11 (or just after xmas there are a pile of posts of presents each year)
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
### Sending (not before 19th November) deadline is 23rd 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
### SIGN UP is a little different this year
If you want to join email (chookybluesscs at gmail dot com) (not my usual address)
I will then email you a link for an online form to complete. (Check your spam if you don't get it)
Swap partners emailed once I get a chance to do it but I post on my blog once I have done them.
PLEASE DON'T BLOG ABOUT THE S W A P UNTIL IT IS CLOSED....
If you have only come here to join the swap and never visited before this isn’t the swap for you......this is for my regular visitors......
