A little Christmas Swap?
I was browsing over on this blog and came across what I thought was a great idea. =) We all love Christmas and we all love giving and getting right?–How about a little swap…does anyone want to trade a little Christmas Goodness package with me?
In the package will be:
~Delicious Chocolate/Sweets
~A Heartfelt Handmade Item
~Selection of Fabric Bits
~An Unexected Surprise
~A Christmas Card
If you would like to trade a Christmas Goodness Package with me, please leave me a comment and let me know the things you like, such as colors and important things I need to know. All Packages will be mailed out the 1st week of December & upon receipt you are not allowed to peek until Christmas morning {promise}.
I will only be able to accept a handful of trades and will choose randomly from the wonderful peeps who leave a comment.
What do you think? Sound like fun? Are you in?
Had to add some random cuteness. =)
I would love to participate! I haven't joined a swap yet, but would love to give it a go! Based on what I've seen you make, I would love anything you do~ hexagons, embroidery. My colors are red, olive green & gold. I have a hoop collection over my living room couch. I'm starting this year a tree in my entry that will have only handmade ornaments. My daughter is crafty as well, so we have our work cut out for us this year! My email is attached to my blogger profile. Hope to get the opportunity!
This sounds like fun. I love bright white accented with pastels. pink, yellow, and green are my favorites but I have been enjoying using orange lately. A surprise under the tree would be fun. As a stay at home mom I tend to buy all the gifts including my own.
I haven't done a swap in awhile and I would love to be chosen to participate in a swap with you.
I do have a blog and a flickr account but am not very good at updating. but I love whatever you make. I am liking the Christmas colors that are out now. Red, green, aqua white. We love anything handmade at our house. I have daughter who is 7 that also likes to create. And a 2 yo son who likes to do his own "creating". hehe
my email is connected to my blog
thanks julie
That sounds like so much fun! Part of the fun is receiving something that reflects your partner's own style or techniques – so I wouldn't be fussy 🙂 I do love pinks, aquas, reds, munki, HR or FMF. I also love hexi things, I think mainly because they use up all the pretty scraps that are so difficult to throw out 🙂
Thank you for offering the opportunity – I can be reached through my blog link!
I do think that sounds fun! I love all your stuff! I like bright colors with white, but I also like all the muted Fig Tree and Three Sisters color palettes as well. (I LOVE Fig Tree.) Truly, I think the only color I'm not fond of is purple. I do love simple stitchery and embroidery, and I love anything with caramel in it. I would love to swap with you if I am not too late.
I would love to join as well….I like traditional Christmas colors of red and white (a little aqua too) because I also love anything vintage. I have 2 kids, a boy and a girl, I like coffee, chocolate, ornaments are my favorite way to decorate and I have started a little collection of vintage Santas and little cardboard Christmas village houses, I am also Christian and do celebrate the birth of Christ yet do Santa too 🙂
This sounds lovely. Just what I need to get in the spirit!
I love combining styles and colors to come up with something unexpected and beautiful. Sometimes, the most beautiful things are the most simple. I love hand and machine stitching, quilts, bags, pouches….For colors I am often drawn to aqua, blues, reds, pinks, purple, greens, browns, greys, white, yellow, orange (I guess that is basically the whole spectrum???). I love handmade items, and love a surprise 🙂 I have never done a swap before, have been too nervous to join in, but there is nothing better than making something for another crafter who appreciates the effort and has as much fun admiring the finished product as they do disecting how it was made!
Trade with you? Are you kidding? I want too! Pick me, pick me! What a great idea this is. Perfect to get that Holiday spirit rolling. And imagine how much fun you'll have opening all that goodness on Christmas morning.
Oh and I like just about anything. I mean really Cory I haven't seen you make anything I didn't like so I'd be wide open for your creativity.
Oh my goodness!! This would be fun!! I truly enjoy meeting new people, so I would love to be a part of this if I could. I love anything vintage. I love things that tell a story. My favorite colors are red and pink. My favorite fabric designer's are Patrick Lose and Happy Zombie (Monica Solorio). I also like to have fun…so anything that makes me giggle is always a plus! :o) I'm honestly not fussy….I just love seeing how creative people can be with this stuff. It's GREAT! So, if I'm lucky enough to be picked, I'll be really excited! LOL Have a great day and thank you so much for doing something like this!
Okay, this sounds like fun! I absolutely love blues & yellows, the colors that are in 'Starry Night' by Van Gogh. I love chocolate & chocolate loves me. I'm easy – as in 'Easy as Sunday morning…', I'm appreicative of everything (except Batiks – I'm not a fan!). Thanks for the chance to join in on such a festive event. HO!HO!HO!
I would love to do a swap, it could be the only present I get for Christmas lol.
I have never done a swap before! I see them all the time on the blogs and never knew how they got started. I would just love to join. I love everything Christmas, especially Santas. Our tree is OVERLOADED with ornaments, homemade ones are my favorite! I love reds, and not just for Christmas, I seem to have it in every room 🙂
Thanks for the chance to swap!
Have a most wonderful time swapping!
May your Christmas be filled with goodness!
I do this every year, and it is always lovely….
I would love to swap with you! I think we enjoy very similar styles of sewing and fabric, and I think it would be so much fun. Also, I think we live pretty close to each other (I'm in PA) Pick me. 🙂
What a lovely idea. I'd love to do this. Colors – bright ones – yellow, red, aqua, orange. Not all together, mind you! My Christmas stuff is all red/white. I love embroidery. And chocolate. You will, of course, let me know as well, your preferences, should I be chosen.
I would love to swap with you 🙂
If you aren't able to swap with EVERY commenter, maybe you could arrange to have the commenters swap with each other, pair them up? just a thought~
i love chocolate;)
brights, moderns, you know~the usual yummies
I would LOVE to swap with another gal with my same name!! 🙂 Different spelling but from on KORI to another – this swap sounds like so much FUN! I have never participated in a swap before but would love to be picked. I have just ventured into the crafting blogging world (can you believe I am SO behind the times?) but I am so impressed with everything you do. I love anything with earth tones – specifically browns. I am a career mom with one 6 year old who LOVES to craft with me. I also am obsessed with fabric of any kinds but am more drawn to bright, happy fabrics that just sing to you in the store "buy me, buy me"! Thanks for the chance to participate in the great swap!
Would love to swap! I like almost anything. Check my blog to see what I swap. Would love to make a wonderful swap package 🙂
what fun!! LOVE your blog! I work at Country Craft Cupboard and saw you a few weeks ago – so fun to see what you make with your stash! I'd love to be a part of this swap! I've never done one before but would love to try it out! My Favorite color is robin's egg blue and my decor also includes olive green, warm creams and deep reds. I'd describe my style as casual cottage – picket fence, ironstone china, wood floors, farmhouse sink….. that's me! I have 2 boys (2 years & 5 months) so they keep me hopping but I love to create when I have a few minutes to spare! Thanks for the chance to be a part of the swap! What a great idea! 🙂
Oh my goodness I would love to participate in a swap with you if I could! I have a blog and flickr and participating in Modern Swappers and Scrappy Hoop swaps. I love navy/aqua, aqua/orange, or plum/grey color combos. Love cute pincushions, embroideries, mini quilts. It would be so awesome to have a surprise under the tree as I am the resident gift wrapper (even for my own gifts! LOL!)
if you want to add some international flavour then this Kiwi chick would love to play! I like all the usual modern suspects (I'm marmys on flickr if you want to know more…) and all colours are beautiful in their own way! I love anything handmade from the heart and sewing and knitting keep me sane!
OH I LOVE Nikis idea!!
I would love to play along. But here's the thang ~ I celebrate Hanukkah. The first night is December 1st. But that never stops me from playing along. If you choose me, DOn't worry about the timing. I'll play along with you. I just don't use christmas fabrics and ornaments. But I do love chocolate, and all thing quilty. I collect needle cards, pink and orange paisley fabrics. And as just like the majority of us all, I love chocolate too.
I'd be happy to take some swappers over at my blog it you get too many.
Happy Quilting
