After I have received your emailed form, I will send you an email for confirmation. This will let you know that I have you added to the swap. Make sure you receive an email back from me! If you don't receive a confirmation within a day or two, email me again so that I don't miss anyone. The last day to sign-up is November 21st, and I will assign partners to each of you on November 23rd. The boxes should be mailed no later than December 8th, so that everyone can enjoy their exciting holiday surprises!

As soon as you get your partners address, you might want to email them and get to know them better. Maybe visit their blog to get an idea of what they like. That way you can make their box more personal! Make your swap box as pretty as possible for your partner! Don’t forget to decorate your box and wrap your presents, either in tissue paper and colored ribbon, or color coordinate the trimmings with your partner’s favorite holiday colors. The spending limit is $15.00 and one item has to be "homemade”, either by yourself or from a craft show. Please do not buy everything at The Dollar Store. Make it personal and festive! Remember, this is all about your partner and how you want to make them feel special! And since this is a “vintage Christmas swap”, don’t forget to include something vintage!
