I love the idea of putting your name and email on the back of a magazine or book and seeing where it goes.

Me to i think that would be fun.

to all my swap partners: i do not mind if you regift/recycle anything that i send you including handmade items. i could possibly send something that is not necessarily the taste of my swap partner (i.e. pattern, style, fabric choice (i luv modern fabrics), item choice). i would rather you regift any such items from me instead of keeping them to spare my feelings. i will not be offended if i see any of my sent items repurposed.

i am a big regifter/recycler. i only have so much storage space and i will only fill it with things i know i will use. if i know i will not use, wear or consume something, i will pass it on for others to use. i do hope that you will not be offended by my regifting. i am no longer a collector (12 step program :-))so everything gets recycled in my home.

very well said Havplenty.

as far as finding things for a sp package i have found cookbooks, craft & quilting books, craft kits at estate sales. there is also fabric & threads but i miss those items because i work. one estate sale ha 3 large jars of buttons but i missed them. check clearance aisles in the stores you shop for some surprise finds along with the usually suspects: joann's, hobby lobby, tuesday morning, walmart.

i was in a walmart recently and they were clearancing fat qtrs for $.25 $.50. the fabric was a bit thin for my taste so i didnt buy any but maybe for others the fabric would be okay. my local culinary store has free recipe cards for the special food tastings they have each week. check your local store. there are free recipe books that you can order online from many of the big food companies. there are a lot of free things to be ordered online if you have the time.

these are just some ideas that may help. also when shipping try using the regional A/B priority mail boxes and see if the shipping costs aren't cheaper than using the flat rate boxes. i can usually cram a regional box full for half the shipping cost of a flat rate box.

I'm going to sign up for August even though I won't be home for most of the month -- no problem as I have my squishy envelope almost ready to go already... just waiting for a name and some personal info to make it special.
