TCHH: Advent swap #1

Here is a swap for those of us who love Christmas. This will be small flat gifts and Christmas cards for a flat advent calendar. I will host the swap every other week until the end of November. We will send 2 flat gifts and a Christmas card with writing & a recipe each time to equal 24 total. At the end of the swap, I would like to do a larger gift to be opened on Christmas day.

For this swap, you will send your partner:

• A Christmas card. Inside the card, write your answer to this question, "How does your family celebrate the holidays? Do you do something special to launch into December?" Also, add a Christmas snack recipe. It can be an oldie but goodie or one you'd like to try this year. Be sure to decorate your envie with a Christmas theme.

• Either in 2 decorated or handmade envelopes or wrapped in Christmas paper, send your partner 2 flat gifts of your choice.

Some examples for flat gifts are postcards, stickers, bookmark, blank new note cards, stationery sets, recipe cards, die cuts, tags, handmade envies, embellishments, inspirational reading, Christmas devotionals, scripture cards... You can use your partners profile for more ideas (for example, I have on my profile a request to hear about your favorite breakfast.) You can be creative with this and it is sender's choice. Gifts can be handmade or store bought.

For your gifts, please send something nice to your partner. Do not send just one sticker and call it a gift send a sheet or 5 sticker flakes. For recipe cards or postcards, send 2. A bookmark would count as one gift.

Rate your partner when you receive your swap even if you will not be opening it until December.
