OBF December SWAP JIngle Jingle

7 years ago

Dashing in to say it 's time for Christmas AGAIN!!!! How can it be?


OBF is a group that has been holding SWAPs for several years now.

To insure safe happy trading you need to be a member and new folks are invited to join. You need to have swapped with a member or have someone sponsor you.

We will keep this one simple and limit postage by saying gifts must fit into either a small flat rate box OR a small flat rate envelope( the padded ones are best if your PO has them.)

Sign up will be until Saturday evening the 8th of Dec and I will assign partners on Sunday the 9th. Mailing deadline will be the 14th

What to send? Try to feature something that will Jingle, Tinkle OR Sparkle. Other small treats like packets of tea/coffee/cocoa,chocolate, popcorn, cookies etc. No plants due to the weather but seeds are always welcome. A packet of something with a festive name or color?

I'll start BINGO when we have three signed up and throw in some special treats and surprises along the way.

    Im sorry I thought I posted that I received Susans package on monday, the internet must of cut off before it posted, its been disconnecting and reconnecting a lot lately.

    Susan sent a santa and reindeer chocolates, a card, watermelon. lettuce, pepper, spinach, and bean seeds, seed pellets, and a cute snowman figurine.

    Thank you Susan. My granddaughter swiped my chocolates before I had a chance to eat them.

A kitchen towel set, Already hung and in use. Some candy canes to have hot chocolate with. The cutest little ho ho ho sack that the ornament was in.
