autumn swap


Autumn arrives today. A glorious season made of gold and orange. To celebrate fall I thought of re-organising again the autumn swap that was a huge success last year.

Here are the rules (which are the same as last year's):

  1. This is an autumn swap based on what an autumn weather makes you want to do: the search for comfort. So you'll have to send 4 little gifts (nothing expensive, just put your heart into it).
  2. You have to have a blog; so that your swapper know you better and that you can post a picture of your swap :)
  3. Based on the answers (there will be a form for each participant to fill up) from your swapper try to please her as much as possible. I'll put everyone's names on a bowl and I'll take one name at a time; A will give to B, B will give to C and C will give to A.
  4. Four gifts as follow: *comfort drink (this can be teas, coffees, herbal infusion),*comfort food (chocolates, little candies, cookies, etc), *comfort food for the soul (books, cd's, dvd's, pay attention for which zone the dvd's are because if you are sending to Europe a dvd from US it will not work), and the last one the *comfort surprise (anything you like).
  5. You must accept to send your swap abroad.
  6. You have to send me an email to enter and I'll send you back a form for you to fill in, where you'll answer some questions for your swapper, so that she knows you a bit more.
  7. I'll be accepting entries until october 10th, maximum of 30 participants.
  8. I'll need to receive your answers back by october 15th the latest.
  9. I'll be sending you back the answers and name of your swapper by october 19th the latest.
  10. You'll have to send your parcel until october 31th so that everyone receives their swap by the beginning of november.

I think all is here, if you have questions send me an email. Please post about it on your blogs.

So, are you ready for autumn comfort ?

I will be figuring out if I can do & will be back on Thursday with probably too many questions:) I like the idea, it's very sweet.
