If you would like to participate, please read the rules, then send Jiffymouse a pm with Craft Swap for the subject line, and your address (if I don’t already have it) along with your email address. Phone numbers are nice, but not required. Also the words "i agree to follow the rules" in the body. here are the rules:
1 - all members must be signed up by August 17. 2 – post your answers to the questionnaire in HERE. 3 - names will go out by pm on or before Aug 19th 4 - all gifts must be mailed out by September 1, failure to do so will make you ineligible to participate in future gift swaps and could result in other penalties 5 - in the event of disaster striking you before you can mail out your box, notifying Jiffy as soon as possible will preserve your ability to play in the future. don't laugh, it could happen. we had 2 in another swap. please include the reason, even if it is just "i got snowed under and couldn't do it" 6 - gifts should be mailed with a tracking number when possible (even the post office offers that for only about 50 cents more) BUT... 7 - if you order your gift to be "direct shipped" please pm me when the order is placed, with the company name so i can post "so-and-so's gift has been ordered direct ship". 8 - finally - just like last time, that there is no specific amount, but please be mindful of other's budgets, and please make sure that you would be happy if you got what you sent out. if in doubt, $20-$30 VALUE is always a safe bet. and value is much more important than cost. 9 - post that you received your gift as soon as you get it, but at least within 3 days. pictures are great if you can! 10 - the administration of this board reserves the right to amend the rules as necessary.

I have a 35 year old husband that acts like a 5 year old. No kids, I have an almost 6 year old niece Athena, and she spends a lot of time with me. She loves crafts, that's what I'm buying her a lot of this year...crafty stuff.
I have a 2 1/2 year old grandson and a 6 month old grandson that are here 2-3 days a week if you still want to know.
I also have a 13 year old grandson and a 3 year old grandson in Oklahoma that I don't get to see but about once a year.

I have grown children. Three step grand children ( although we don't play steps in my home), and one brand new bio grandson, my new baby and grand daughter live 3000 miles from me though . I see two of my grandsons often. They love coming to see Gramma Shirl,and grampa.
My swap gal's box is in the mail!!! I sure hope she likes the stuff . Should be there in about three days, and it was sent with delivery confirmation.

Does anyone know who does or does not have children still at home or grandkids that visit often??
I have 2 grown married daughters who are here off & on. A Husband who thinks he is a spoiled 5 yr old. Then there is 2 "grandpuppies" and 1 "Puppie" (9yr old australian shepard) who lives here.
I do have a 13 yr old niece and a 16 yr old nephew who are living here for a bit--

No post office for me today. If nothing else, I will definitely get this mailed out on Saturday, sorry ($*#*&%&#(@, I hope the waiting doesn't drive you crazy.
well i have had a rough couple of days, so i wont be doing my shopping until saturday----sorry somebody----i have all the ideas, just need to go pick them up! ssssssssssssoooooooooooo, my pal's box will be in the mail on monday!
tina im in the same boat as you! im learning what new things are from my swapy pal! and im also learning to do new things with my own craft because of my swapy pal! like the craft im doing i have done before but never this way, im doing it the way i think n hope my pal would like and im loving it doing it pals way
i think this swaps are like a rollercoaster ride! im scared im gonna mess up on my gift n fall on my buttocks hitting my pal on the way down, but i wanna give my pal somthing nice so bad i just hold on tight n hope for the best
yep Christy !! I have been doing my craft for 20+ years--and last week I felt like the new kid on the block. Once I had chosen my "gift" project--I was full of doubt & questions. But I am determined to keep on plugging away until I get it finished!!! All the way home on tuesday I kept thinking I could do "this" or i could do "that" to my project. I am sure we will all get there, just fine---but like you say--what a ride along the way!!!!!
