Lesson #141 - Happiness Is A Package On My Doorstep

If you have followed me for any length of time, you know that I am a HUGE fan of Halloween...I mean HUGE people!! Nothing makes me more happy than decorating the casa for Halloween, picking out themed costumes for the entire family and dragging indulging everyone in a trip around the neighborhood to acquire fabulous bits of chocolate covered happiness.

Another thing I am a fan of - getting things, mostly packages, in the mail as long as it isn't a bill or collection notice. SO, I have decided to put them both together. This event is NOT a giveaway...rather, a gift swap!



This is how it will work:

1) Put your information into the SWEET linky below...see...right there...at the bottom of the post. Sign-ups will take place from today, September 16, 2011, through 11:59 pm est October 10, 2011. That is three weeks to get as many people to participate as possible...should be easy, right?! I sure hope so!!

2) On October 11, I will take all of the information and make a spread sheet of names, blogs and email addresses. Once that list is complete, I am going to pair everyone up as best I can so that each person has a gift buddy.

3) On October 12, I will send out the list of buddies to everyone. Once received, I ask that you make contact with your buddy - via a blog post or an email - and find out as much as you can about each other. The point of this part is to come up with a list of possible gifts to get each other. To be fair - please limit your gift box to $30 (not including shipping).

4) Mail your gift swap package no later than October 20, to leave ample time for your buddy to receive the goodies you send!

5) Create a blog post with pictures, descriptions and any other information you'd like to write. This post should go live on October 31st to celebrate Halloween - and all your cool things!! I will have another linky posted here on the 31st for everyone to come and share!


Feel free to Tweet, post a Facebook status or write a blog post about this swap...and if you are so compelled, you could also yell it from your roof! There is a SWEET little button to grab too...over there to the right -----> This swap is limited to the US and Canada.
