What: A swap of scraps from your scrap pile--please use scraps no smaller than a 4" square to your group partners. Each group will have 3 people in it. Fill two sandwich size Ziploc bags with as many scraps you can fit into it. Try to have the same equal amounts of scraps for your partners. Send yours scraps out along with a self-addressed envelope measuring 8" x 10"with 6, 42cent stamps on it.
In turn your partners should be sending you theirs as well with a self-addressed stamped envelope for you to mail their items to. When those arrive, mix it all up and create little gifts to make for your swap partners-2 in total, 1 for each partner out of the scraps you received. You should be left with scraps yourself and create yourself a gift! When: Sign up is now until November 3, 2008, your 1st package of scraps in the sandwich bag should be mailed out no later than November 15th. Have your 2nd package of your gift mailed out to your swap partners by December 13th. Where: Sign up is HERE.

OK, although I am a little nervous of entering my first swap and the first comment never wins... sigh... I'm in!
I'm going to try and get your button on the blog now too! Do I need a new comment to enter the giveaway?
I will also blog about it! Yay! Fun!
Oh drat! I just tossed a huge bag full of large fabric scraps. I'd held onto them thinking I'd find a use for them and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I tossed them along comes your wonderful swap. Oh well, just stopped by to say hello and let you know I'm in your SCB group.
Okay - I'm in. I just filled out my wufoo form. Whoo hoo. Beth
