    Schnapperdoodle, these swaps are so much fun. I have been doing them for almost a year now and really do miss it if I choose to sit out for a month. I try to customize the box from the persons info sheet. I look to see what their most wanted item/items are, maybe throw in some FQ's of their favorite fabric; maybe some used magazines, and I do try to at least make one item for them. There are times I would like to make more things for my box but times always slips away from me. As someone else said check out the photos from some of the past SP's. That will give you a lot of hints.

    Sitting this one out. It's with much sadness and a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that yesterday, our beloved Fergus was put to sleep after a long and sometimes painful, illness.

    After his last hospitalisation a couple of weeks ago, my husband and I decided on the advice of our vet, that we'd done all we could. Sadly, he had another painful attack early yesterday and we decided that he shouldn't suffer any more.

    Many of you sent kind wishes last year when he first became ill. He was much loved and words cannot express how much we miss him.

    I'm in ... first time for me, this will be so much fun! I've done a WH swap and had a blast with that one.

    Knitette - I'm so sorry about Fergus, losing a beloved pet is very hard. Hugs to you

    Knititte, I am so sorry to hear about Fergus. Our 4-legged friends become such a big part of our lives. Take care and know that you did all you could. Fergus is now healthy, running, and playing over the Rainbow Bridge with all his other puppy friends.

    Lori. This is my first time also. Do you just go to the member list and pick out a name and send them my information?
    then do I send you a message that I did that? And then what? Do I send the item worth $10.00 along with the information, then what, just wait for there reply? Please help.
    what
