Fall Swap Goodies!

I got my SWAP goodies!!! And boy are they AWESOME!!

Thanks so much to Kristin for being such an AMAZING SWAP buddy and a real one too! :)

She sent me some awesome stuff...but what was even better was how she wrapped it...
There were beautiful leaves in the box with tissue paper wrapped goodies for me to open...and sweet little notes on each!

Seriously...adorable.

Look at all the great loot...lemme run through the list...

• A labeled bag for my Photography business, and sticky notes.
• A pink and white hot liquids cup
• Address labels for our Christmas cards
• A hand-knit scarf
• A beautiful jewel picture holder (on my desk at work now)
• A Yankee Candle "Home Sweet Home:
• Tea
• A Cinnamon Swirl Cake Warm Delights (already eaten!)
• And some sweet homemade cards!

Aren't the cards great?!

Oh I just love it all!



See the bag and stickies?!?!

Kristin, all the stuff was GREAT!! Thanks so much!

And thanks to all who participated!

SWAP - McLinky Post

Hey all!

By this week you should start receiving your SWAP packages! I hope you love all the FALL goodies you received! Here is where you can LINK UP to your Blog post showing pictures of what you received!

I can't wait to see everybody's goodies!!!

FALL FAVS SWAP! Partner Day!

AS OF 11:00 AM this morning, everyone should have received their partners information! If you have not received an email from me, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!

Here are some reminders and tips to everyone participating:

* The date to mail out packages by is October 13th. This will mean that everyone should be receiving their packages in the mail the following week.
* Insure or get a tracking number for your package...just in case.
* You can make or buy your goodies for your partner, or both if you want to!
* Take some time to explore your partners blog! It will help you when you are deciding what to send them. Get to know them!!
* A lot of people will dress up their goodies inside the box...meaning many will wrap items in tissue paper, wrapping paper, ribbon, etc. It is not required.
* In the Partner Emails - You will find your partners name, blog address, mailing address and any allergies or sensitivities they may have. Make sure to read all this information so you don't end up buying them something they cant use. If you need to contact your partner for any reason please do it through their blog.
* Remember to do a post complete with pictures once you receive your package! And link up to it on the McLinky post on October 18th!

Your partner was picked at random. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or email me at Slickslady (at) gmail (dot) com.

HAVE FUN!!

I am pretty impressed with myself!!! :) You may be sitting there thinking....what are my FALL FAVS...what can I share with others? I know for me...I have a favorite candle scent, a favorite pair of socks, scarves, movies to watch, etc. So what you want to send is COMPLETELY up to you!!! Think about special things from where you live...or special traditions that you may have. Just get creative!!! You can buy things. Make things. Just HAVE FUN!

There ARE rules...to make sure that everyone enjoys the experience...so here's the nitty gritty...

1. Make sure you add our FALL FAVS button to your blog through a post, so myself and others will know you are participating in the swap! Please include it in a POST, not JUST on your sidebar. (Although, you can include it there as well) Just paste the code in the box provided above and wahhh-lahhh! You have done it!
   
2. Link it up!! Be sure to leave your SWAP Button post link in a comment on this post, so I can check it out!!! Make sure it is the link for the SWAP post, not just your blog in general!
   
3. To sign up for the swap, you will need to leave me a comment to say you are signing up...it can be the same comment with your SWAP button post link if you want!
4. Then send an email to Slickslady@gmail.com with the following information. Full Name, Address, Blog URL and Email Address. Also please include if you have any allergies or sensitivities.
   
5. Once you have sent off that email, I will follow up to make sure you wish to join the SWAP. If you do not hear back from me, I don't have you on my list. And if I do not hear back from you within a few days I will assume that you are not participating.
   
6. You must sign up by October 6th. At Midnight on October 6th I will close the sign-up and will not accept anyone after that time. So be sure to sign up today!
7. On October 7th, I will email you with your SWAP Partners Blog URL and their mailing information. Please RESPOND to this email, so I know you and your partner are still in! **special note** You will be sending your package to the same person who will be sending you a package. Your partner will be chosen at random!
8. Be sure to check out your partners Blog and get to know a little about them. That may help you choose what items to send!
   
9. All packages must be mailed out by Wednesday, October 13th. That gives you a little over two and a half weeks to get your items, so start shopping or creating now! If there is a problem with that date, please let me know ahead of time.
   
10. The value of the contents of your package should be worth a minimum of $20. I don't want to give a max limit, however spending over $50 would be a little crazy. It's not about who can spend the most money, it's about sharing your favorites. So if you have 20 favorites, maybe you should narrow your list down to save some money. Remember the cost of shipping too!
11. THIS IS IMPORTANT! When you receive your package you will need to do a post with pictures showing all the goodies that you received and be sure to link to the SWAP link page and your partners Blog on your post as well
12. After you have completed your post please check my blog. On October 18th I will have a McLinky post available, where you can come and link up to your SWAP Goodies post for all to see! Well all wanna be able to Google and swoon over all your FALL FAVS too!

**This SWAP is open to US Residents ONLY. ALL Participants must have a Blog and an email address.**

Remember, if you do not post a SWAP link and get a REPLY email from me verifying that you have signed up, then I do NOT have you on my list!! Be sure to follow all of the rules!! I want this to be a great experience for EVERYONE!!

Not too bad!! This should be REALLY exciting!!! Can't wait to see what goodies everyone gets!!

Swap...do it!

FALL FAVS SWAP!!

You still have time to sign up!!!

Fall Favs SWAP!!!

I participated in my very first swap this past Spring. It was alot of fun! I have wanted to for a while, to host my own swap. So I figured, why not now! Fall is one of my FAVORITE times of the year! I can't wait to see what kinds of goodies are passed around to share!! I love so much picking some of my FALL FAVS to share with my friends...and who wouldn't like to get some fabulous FALL FAVS in return!!

So that's my swap idea.

FALL FAVORITES!!! You know...candles, decor, movies, etc. Everyone has FALL FAVS! I even created a button for our Swap. So be sure to add it to your page!!! It will link all your friends back to this post so they can join in on the SWAP goodness too! See below for all the details and rules!!
