Calla, the swap sign up closes on the last day of the month. The 30th. Names are assigned by the First. Usually I send out the names Late on the evening of the 30th.

You all can start whenever you would like. I am going to pair you with whichever theme you picked with a person of the same theme choice. If you are a either, I also am pairing you with an either. (Surprise your partner with whatever you come up with for either Fall or Halloween.)

That's a good idea JuneBillie. I usually start with my sketch then move to pull from what I have on hand. Buy a specific item that I can't live without and then create. I hate to stop in the middle of a project. And, from there, my project will usually come together pretty quickly. Then, I put back everything I drug out. I hate though, when I get a particular embellishment in my head that I just have to have to complete a project. Especially since I may not be able to find it.

I enjoy Judith hearing how others work through their process for their projects. :) I enjoy so much what I learn from others on here.

I have a couple ideas working in my head. Just hope get the time to create them. Just so much going on.

I too have a couple of ideas! Can't wait, I love doing these! See fun!

I also have lots of ideas ladies. I have 3 Halloween cards started and 1 Fall card started. Finally, I think my mojo is returning. I have been picking up in my sewing room. Once I got it all straightened up, I was really ready to create. So many fun ideas for October.

Just a few more days until names go out. I have been working in my sewing room the last few days. I'm going to start us out with a little inspiration. I am choosing to go with the Halloween theme. It's like my favorite holiday. But, this card is for my mom. She is definitely a FALL person. She loves everything from the decorations and colors to her favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. So, I'm sending her FALL.

Who doesn't love fall colors! Pretty card Judith.

Love the owl button and the colors it is. Beautiful cards Judith.

I'm in for October and I can do either.
