Dorothy's October Swap Wish List

What a great welcome! I'm very excited about this hat/scarf swap!

My favorite colors are pink, purple, blue, and red. Not necessarily all together at once though.

My hobbies include knitting (of course!), reading, Soduku puzzles

My kitchen theme and colors....I don't really have a theme. But the curtains are blue and white.

My bathroom theme and colors...again, no real theme. However, the color is purple

My dislikes....as related to knitting? There aren't really any. I'm afraid of turtles, and I dislike when people create a lot of drama where there isn't any

My crafts..what I like...I knit, I like to cross stitch, but rarely do these days. I love to cook

My allergies...cats

My favorite pets...We own a fish. I pretty much ignore it. My little ones act like little puppies sometimes, and I love that!

My favorite scents...I love fall scents - pumpkin pie, apple spice, etc.

Other stuff about me...I love to look through knitting magazines, and books. I do some consulting work, but most of my time is spent being a mom and I feel really blessed about that!

Next 3 Month's Theme's and Sign Ups

I have posted the next 3 month's themes for everyone to look over and decide if they want to sign up for them. Since, it is a busy holiday season I am changing the sign up process and partner assignments a little different. Please indicate in the comments section which months you want to be signed up for and I will add you to the group. I will also be posting partners at the beginning of the month [no later than the 3rd] instead of later in the month, so that packages can be mailed out earlier.

This gives everyone time to enjoy their packages before the holidays. I added in the items to send in November and December that we add a note about our own "holiday" traditions to share with our partners. I thought that it might be fun to share what we all do during those festive times of the year. And those who do not celebrate can share what they normally do, too. If any of you have any questions just email or post your comments.

And remember to post those pictures so that you can be in the contest to win an extra little something. Happy Swapping !!!!

A Note on Monthly Winners

To my "tardiness" I must apologize for not announcing and mailing out the June Tote Bag Kit Swap package contest winner and prize. So I am officially announcing it now...it was a tie and so I pulled a name out of the hat. 1st runner up is Judith and she will receive a small token and the winner is ....

Mary Blume...Hip Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!

________________________________

And for this month the last week is approaching so everyone should be getting those packages ready to mail this last week in Septemeber. Be sure to post your pictures and also let your partner know when you have mailed it out..
