I love participating in swaps of all kinds, and have formed some wonderful new friendships through swaps. I have decided it was time to host my own swap! The theme is, “Home for the Holidays” which will set a theme and tone for you to have a home style goodness & some holiday goodies too! To me the best part of the holidays is being with family and friends, decorating our homes, baking cookies and rum balls, making special one of a kind Christmas gifts for those you love with the scent of cinnamon wafting through the air as the Christmas carols play in the background.

Please be sure that if you sign up you will follow through with your assigned partner. I’m hoping that this swap will create some WONDERFUL new friendships. Chat with each other and really get a feel for your partner’s personal style, and try your hardest to prepare a swap box that you would be thrilled to receive yourself!! I always try to remember the Golden Rule and what Dear Abby (always give a gift you would love to receive) said when I prepare a swap box.

I really want all of you to be super happy with your boxes, so let’s make this first swap at 3 Sides of Crazy super FABULOUS & FUN!! I know all of you will make this such a fun and great experience for each other. I’ll start a FLICKR group so we can all share our boxes with each other.

Any special collections (Santas, angels, snowmen, certain styles, etc):
Any special dislikes:
Anything else about yourself, your family, your life, etc, that would be helpful to your partner:
Would you be willing to swap with an international partner?:
Would you like to Angel swap*?:
* This should only be if we have an odd number of participants or an emergency arises.

After you email me the filled out form, I will email you back with a confirmation, letting you know that I have included you in 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 and be sure to check your spam folder just in case! I will leave the swap open to sign up for until November 17th, and then I will assign partners. Your boxes should be sent by December 8th, so that everyone can enjoy their holiday goodies in time for Christmas!!!

As for the contents of your swap box, I’ll leave that entirely up to you! You can buy things, make things, glitter things, bake things, etc…! Just make a fabulous swap box, full of holiday spirit! (Examples: ornaments, stockings, holiday decor, holiday goodies, yummy candles, Christmas books, etc…) Be 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 something for the home (whether it is an ornament, candle, garland, etc…)! I can’t wait to get started and I hope you decide to join me for this fun and fabulous swap! There is a limit of $20-25 dollars on this swap plus shipping. Let’s have some fun with this and not go overboard.

Please 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!! The more the merrier! It is always so much fun to meet new bloggers, and what a fun way to get to know everyone!! Let’s spread the “Home for the Holidays” Christmas spirit!
