Elf Donna over on Chookyblue Blog is hosting a Secret Santa Christmas Swap. We have 128 secret Santa's. So Elf Donna says enough is enough. Following are the rules for the swap. I can't wait to get started.

The rules are simple

• Don’t tell anyone who your swap partner is please. This is a secret swap shhhhhhhhh!!!!!! A different person will be sending to you……….
• You have to be willing to post internationally
• You need to have an active blog …....posting a couple of times a month…….. so your partner can sneak a peek and get ideas of what to make for you and they know you are active……………therefore existing
• You can make whatever you want eg, bag, wall hanging, softies, stitchery, table runner - whatever it is you love to make………send something you would love to receive…..
• Sign up deadline is when I have toooo many people (last year I was going to leave it open for several weeks but had to shut it within a week)
• Swap partners emailed out mid to late August
• Sending (not before 10^th November) deadline is 25^th November to ensure your partner gets their present before Christmas (remember reason for swap)

· Please don’t sign up if you are not prepared to send, non-senders!!!! will be named and shamed

· Make sure you "thank" your Santa – very important

· If you are difficult to contact you may be dropped from the swap………..several times between now and the deadline I email out and you MUST reply………so if you are going away for a week or 2 just let me know

· If everyone can follow the above it will make for another very successful SSCS………..

I am really excited about this swap, I can't wait until I get my Swap Partner so that we can get started on our gifts. Thank You Elf Donna for putting this Swap together.

Thanks for stopping by,

I love Spring Flowers

We went on a walk this evening, oh wow the wonderful smells that were enjoyed on our walk. The Honeysuckle is in full bloom right now...MMMMM it was so yummy.

The Blackberries are right on schedule, so hopefully around the 4Th of July or shortly after we will have yummy ripe Blackberries.

The Wild Rose Bushes are blooming like crazy also. They are so Beautiful, but watch out for their thorns.

My daisy's are starting to bloom, they are always so beautiful.

Ahmm.....I am not for sure what to call these little guys. I am actually trying to teach myself how to make crocheted flowers. I love the ones you can buy for your scrapbook pages, but have you priced them lately...ouch. I will keep trying to perfect mine.
