*Copied from last year*

Open to all members in good standing. 100 posts +, and have been a member for at least 6 months!!! There will be NO minimum amount of people.


If you have any allergies or are diabetic, like me, and can't eat candy, please say in your post.

You must send at least 1 thing to do with Halloween/Autumn or BOTH! Doesn't have to be all Halloween...However, It MUST be all new things. Not half eaten, not gross in any way..There was an issue last year that just was not cool. Also, it Must NOT be expired. I mean come on, peeps...use your bestest judgment. If you wouldn't want it in that condition, then please don't send to others.

The minimum for this swap will be $15 or more.

*******Packages must be sent out by Oct. 15th. I will PM everyone Sept 16th and tell who your Halloween/Autumn swap buddy will be. I will need delivery Confirmation, Failure to send a package will result in your being badlisted!!!!!!! I also WILL NOT give ANY extensions!!!

Any questions, please PM me. Thanx.

THIS IS A "SECRET" SWAP. PLEASE SEND SOMETHING WITH YOUR OLS SCREEN NAME IN THE BOX YOU SEND. WHETHER IT BE A CARD OR A NOTE OR WHATEVER.

I was so proud of last year's swap. It was 100% successful. I will be checking on the "black list" just in case, but let's make this again 110% PERFECT! :ohyeah:

One more last thing, if you sign up for the swap, can you please PM me your address? Thank you very much!

Dark chocolate
Halloween type decorations, etc., as long as it's the cute type -- ghosts, pumpkins, black cats (love cats!) etc.

Hair scrunchies/things for long hair
Also love to read books about the history of holidays like Halloween, witchcraft, etc.
Love and collect DVDs -- but I don't like horror/scary movies
Love tea, especially English Breakfast and Earl Gray. Anything that makes good iced tea, since I rarely drink it hot
Like Coffee, too -- especially flavored kinds
This is a rather esoteric like, I suppose, but anything relating to Ancient Egypt. I also love Celtic items.
I love sparkly things and things that light up
Peachy rings -- the squishier and softer the better
Love the little light-up houses and such
Some of the light up/motion figures or stuffies that dance/sing, etc. really make me laugh.

Licorice
Cherry flavoring

[cabanagirl]

This Halloweeny wants to join!!!

Halloween is my favorite day of the year, so I'm always looking for things to make my house spookier!
I have Halloween parties with my friends each year, so things like place mats and cups or something that I can reuse year to year would be fabulous!

I also LOVE Halloween jewelry (no earrings though) and clothing items. I wear a Med. tank or shirt.

Also, my puppy loves her Halloween toys and treats too!

Yay! I just now learned of the existence of a Halloween swap, so of COURSE I have to be in it!

As for autumn, I live in southern CA so there's not really any seasons per se. I do like nice hazlenut smelling candles though. Stuff like hot cider and compotes are always welcome too.

As for dislikes... please no cinnamon, no potpourri. I would absolutely ADORE a box full of Halloween goodies and maybe a pretty candle. But anything else will be cheerfully and happily recieved as well!

Much love to all and yay for Halloween time!!!

I was worried too when I sent mine because delivery confirmation showed only one of the two packages delivered and my buddy hadn't posted. She did post to say she received both boxes though. Hope she liked everything.
