**Snowflakes and Sparkles** Christmas Swap 2008!!


Join me in a fun, sparkly and "snow-kissed"
Christmas swap this holiday season!!!

I love participating in swaps of all kinds, and have decided to host my very first swap! The theme is "Snowflakes and Sparkles," which will set a tone for some sparkly, glittery, snowy, and shiny holiday goodies! I want to preface this by making sure that if you sign up, PLEASE follow through with your assigned partner, chat between each other, really get a feel for the person's personal style, and try your hardest to prepare a swap box that you would be thrilled to receive yourself!! I really want all of the participants to be super happy with their boxes, so let's make this first swap at Mommy Holly super FABULOUS!! :) I know all of you will make this such a great experience, and I am thanking you all in advance!

Let's get to the rules....
Leave a comment on this blog only, letting me know you would like to participate in the swap. Then email me immediately at hollyndevlin@gmail.com , sending in the following form completely filled out so that I have your information.

Name:
Mailing Address:
Email Address:
Blog Address:
Would you be willing to swap with an international partner?:
Personal holiday style (vintage, modern, traditional, country, primitive, glam, funky etc!):
Favorite holiday colors:
Favorite holiday foods, candy, snacks:
Any dislikes (ie. santas, country, certain styles, anything haha, etc):
Anything else about yourself, your family, your life, etc, that would be helpful to your partner:

After you email me the filled out form, I will email you back a confirmation, letting you know that I have you down for 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 who wants to be involved! I will leave the swap open to sign up for until October 24th, and then I will assign partners that weekend. The boxes should be sent by November 28th, so that everyone can enjoy their holiday goodies!!!

As for the contents of your swap box, I am leaving that entirely up to you!! You can buy things, make things, glitter things, glam things, etc!! Just make a fabulous swap box, full of holiday sparkle!! (Examples: ornaments, stockings, holiday decor, holiday goodies, yummy candles, Christmas books, etc!!) Get creative!! After your partner receives the questionnaire with all your information, it will probably help you make up the swap box!! The only stipulation is that something has to involve glitter, snowflakes, sparkles, snow-kisses, etc!!! Let's make this swap SPARKLE! I can't wait to get started and I hope lots of you decide to join me for this fun and crazy swap!!!

PS. Feel free to use this graphic and add it as a button to your blogs, or post about the swap!! Spread the word so we get lots of fun participants!! It is always so much fun to meet new bloggers, and what a fun way to get to know everyone!! Let's spread the "Snowflakes and Sparkles" holiday cheer!!!! xo!
