Kensington, I was wondering since I am unable to travel your way hows about you stop your swaps say in August and you travel around and set us up.. you know you could have a second business here.. wow, all I can say is wow. I don't do a tree anymore but do put green garlands all along the beams with lights and all my glass ornaments, cats cant get them there! In my treeless defense I do have 35 over 100 foot trees in my yard and the national forest literally across the street (ie RIGHT across the street) so I am not actually treeless. And I decorate for each and every holiday.
Next, wow who cleans all those rooms? NOT me. Fantasy home? one bedroom, one bath no dining room and a maid. That is a fantasy home. If I had 7 kids I would well, be still recovering. and your here quilting AND decorating. How old is your youngest?

It took me a minute to realize you were saying I could drive from place to place decorating your homes for Christmas. ROTFLOL. I've had offers. I could make a business out of it. I've done it for people. One of the reasons I shut down on crafts the last of November is that it's all I can do to keep up with my own decorating, wrapping, cooking, baking and entertaining. I have to stay focused. LOL. All of my decorating is done by the end of Thanksgiving weekend, then before Dec. 1 we get the real tree and put it up. I love it. My mom did it that way to.
PS... We all keep it clean. I do the main floor.. Living room, dining room, kitchen, Den, craft room, Master bed and bath, and guest powder room. The boys split the other 2 baths and do their own rooms. Unless we are having something here, then Dh and I clean it all from top to bottom. He is a big help. Dh does all the yard work and takes care of the pool. That is his baby.

I will buy envelopes and then I will be all set to mail out too. I am sending in all Asian themed fabrics. I've had the fq's for a few years and I will love having blocks made with them. Some fussy cutting may work out best on a few of them!
Who ever gets my fabrics, feel free to keep the scraps. I think it would be nice to be able to keep the scraps from the ones we receive to add to our own scrap stash.

Generally you do keep the scraps unless someone specifically asks in a note for them to be returned in case they are running short.
I don't think I have had much scrap leftover though because I tend to "stretch" theirs as much as possible it seems. It is a great way to use up your stash scraps too.
Looking forward to this also...ordered some other fabric since I'm short on the possums...so we'll go with one of a couple other choices this time around.
Think I'll get my Dad working on folding and wrapping them up next week...he'll get a blast out of that too.
As a mailing hint...if you use the bigger envelopes (like birthday card size ones) -- If the fold goes across the long edge of the envelope it's considered an envelope -- If the fold goes across the short edge of the envelope it's considered a flat and could cost more to mail.
Because I'm lazy - I make 4 (four)sets of labels of my name and your name --
(swap name, my boardname, real name, mailing address) (swap name, your boardname, real name, mailing address)
-- the swap name and boardname really help in case you are participating in several swaps
The excel sheet April sends out will make this easy if you know how to merge a list into labels.
one set to put on the outgoing fabric (in case the envelope is "eaten")
one set to put on the outgoing envelope,
one set to put on the finished block (again in case the envelope is "eaten")
one set to put on the finished outgoing envelope.
