Good morning again  ! I have partners posted! I do hope everyone is happy with their partner! Let the shopping begin! I love stocking swaps. The kicker is to see who buckles under pressure and opens all their gifts at once. I know it will be me! I am like a kid in a candy store when I get something in the mail  ! Hello Penny! I am so happy to get to know you! I see you are a Magnolia stamp lover too. You should check out the Magnolia lovers swap I host. I will be posting sign-ups for Jan in Dec. I am going to give a little extra time for what I have planned. I do them monthly! I hope you will join us! I see you have completed the copic course. Please feel free to share all your wisdom with us here. I am going to check around and try to find a course I can take to get certified! I would love that! I am sure I will have some questions for you later. I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Rhonda - just finished. BTW, I have no preference on stocking...this is my favorite time of year so anything is great! What about you?
Sorry I have been out of town for a couple of days at a family reunion in OK.
So, now that I have a wonderful partner and a list of wants and wishes, do I just fill a stocking with those things and send it before December 12?

So excited to get going on this! So, because I have never participated in one of these before, can someone just let me know how we proceed? Do we just exchange addresses with our partner (obviously in a PM)? What is the price limit? SweetCreations - is there anything special that I need to know? Do we do this over PMs or in the thread? Let me know if there is anything you need from me!

hello partner, having trouble with notifications and pms and I just got so fustrated I sent an email to the cricut people hoping they can help me. So I did send you an PM but if you didn't get it I also gave you my email address mlindley@mtu.edu. I use that mostly. So funny I would get 3 notifications for each message sent before and now nothing. Humpf. Oh well. HELLO beach bum. This is going to be great fun. If you want to ask me anything go right ahead. This is going to be so much fun. I like he 12 days idea and tagging the 12 days. Awesome idea. luv it. Hello Rhonda. See your here too. We have some simular tastes in swaps. YIPEEE. talk to you all later.

Very, very excited to be participating in this SWAP! This is my first even though I have been a Cricut owner for several years now.
I live in a suburb of Dallas and have worked in local government for 23+ years. THis is my busy time of year as I work in employee benefits. I love my job! But more importantly, I am married to my best friend and have been for 31+ years and have three beautiful daughters. The oldest is an RN, the next has some significant disabilities and health issues but has the biggest smile imagineable and brightens up any room. My youngest is a phlebotomist and looking for work. Life is amazing!
My passion is card-making and paper-crafting. It all started though when I did a scrapbook for my oldest when she graduated from college in 2004. I LOVE all things CRICUT! I still have the original E and have never had any problems with it. I love my G as well and couldn't live with out it.
My husband had a craft room (and dining room) added on a couple of years ago so I get to go to my retreat and play.
God has blessed me in so many ways that I don't deserve.

Just wanted to let you all know that I am in NY and we are going to be hit by the Hurricane/Frankenstorm Sandy. So I may be off the grid for a while if we loose power.
Please keep us in your thoughts and if anyone else is affected by Sandy, please stay safe!

Wendy, Stay safe!!! Hope everything is ok with you. Please post as soon as you can sweetie.
Howdy to all the other stocking swappers. I love this swap. Scrap-mart was having a pretty good sale on distress pads and so is JoAnn.com. 40% off so quite a savings even with shipping
Hope everyone has a great night

Hello Rhonda Yup they are a little slow but if I order now I won't worry. And they let me know in one day if something isn't there or out of stock so I can place my other order. They do send me a tracking number so I get to watch it zig zag here. LOL. Did you send that tape thing? I haven't heard if you did or not. Can't wait to place my last order and I will be done except the stocking. But I wanna do some thing special tooo Hope that is okay.
