The ~Christmas Party~ Op Shop Swap

I often see things in Op Shops and think I'd love to get that for someone
and usually I do, me
well now I'm thinking, wouldn't it be nice to share the love with a kindred spirit.

How does that saying go, "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet"
and why not have our favourite Op Shops unite us,
after all it's the common denominator in most of our lives
and with Christmas hurtling toward us at great speed I figure there's no better time than now to share the love!

You're invited to the
Op Shop Swap
 the theme is
~Christmas Party~ 
and the rules are very simple

A min. of 3 gifts and max. 5 per parcel.Minimum 3 gifts & max. 5 gifts per parcel with at least:
~ 1 item to be found in an Op Shop/Garage Sale/Flea Market.
~ 1 item to be handmade by yourself or someone else.
~ 1 Christmas themed item.
REpurposing existing gifts is fine.

Price limit is set at $15 or the equivalent amount in your currency.

The Sign-up will close 31/10/2011.
Swap Partners will be announced 3/11/2011.
Then you will have 2wks to find all the goodies for your parcel so it can be posted by 21/11/2011.

This is going to be an International Swap however I will keep Swap Partners localised 
ie. Aussies-Aussies, Kiwis-Kiwis to try & keep postage to a minimum.

 I hope you think this is something you'd like to be part of
and that you'll go crazy telling everyone 'cos it's a party!

Grab a button from my side bar for your side bar which if I've got it right will link directly back here which in turn will take interested parties through to the 
Sign up Page.

The lengths I'll go to so as not to have to sit down and write pattern instructions is phenomenal...
