Goodie Swap 2009?

Post by SonjaMarie » Thu September 17th, 2009, 1:17 am

I noticed that it was Sept 26th that we started talking about doing this the first time last year. I was wondering if we were going to do it again.

Around x mas time we decided it would be cool to exchange gifts. There was a 20 dollar limit. If you wanted to sign up you could Some people decided they only wanted to do the US while others wanted to ship outside the US. Names would be drawn and you would be matched up with someone and you would send them a gift.

We posted what we like for example I said homemade soap and scented candles and I gave my amazon wishlist link.

It was a lot of fun..or I thought so . :)
