8. You must post a picture of your stocking and all gifts.
9. You must post a picture of your opened gift and a thank you DAILY!

I see new swappers! Awesome! Glad you have decided to join us! Relax and have a great time! I will close tomorrow morning and assign partner's after that. I hope everyone will share a little about their self. So that we can get to know our new swappers and they ca get to know us!

I am Jess! I am married with 3 children. Mick is my biggest support! He makes the money and I spend it ! Jacob is graduating high school this year ! Cameron(boy) is in middle school and my baby girl Layla is in 3rd grade. I have been a crafter for many years! I started out scrapbooking with CM and boy have the times changed since then. I have been an active memeber on the messageboard for a long time. I love crafting! I dont really do anything for myself anymore, its always for swaps! I enjoy all my friends I have made here and enjoy spending time on here chatting!

Have a great day!

I'm so excited to be taking part!

My name is Wendy. I am married and have two boys (3.5 and 13 months!) I have just finished putting together a great craft area in out finished basement and I can't wait to get down there and do something, but it is hard with two little guys running around and getting into Mommy's toys.

I started scrapbooking a long time ago with CM and once I discovered the other things out there, I never went back! Don't get me wrong, I still use a lot of my CM items, but there is soooo much more - as you all know!
I have been a member here since 2006, but rarely post. I am always on here looking for ideas and things I can scraplift!
I frequent weekend crops in my area (although there haven't been too many in awhile) because it really gets my motivation and ideas flowing. I wish there was a closer group of ladies who I could get crafty with. I mostly scrapbook, but haven't made a complete album in over a year - and that one was for my cat.

So glad to join you!

Prayers and hugs are with you Yohill and DD.....sorry to hear this

Hugs
rhonda

I am Penny. I have been married to my best friend for 28 years. He doesn't understand my craftoholic nature but he doesn't stop me either. I have three children 23, 21 and 16. I am a perennial grower by day and a crafter by night.

I have been crafting all my life. Right now I have a passion for photography, and coloring with copic markers. I found magnolia stamps about a year ago and have been obsessed with them ever since. Prior to this I used my cricut a lot more than I do now.

I also do floral design, scrapbooking, sewing, jewelry making, video editing, quilting and have in the past done knitting, crocheting, braided rugs,and embroidery.

I took the copic certification class last month and was happy to meet other people as crazy as I am when it comes to crafting. I'm hoping that maybe some of you are the same and would love to get to know you.

Good morning stocking swappers!

This swap is now closed! I am going to pair up partners, then I will come back and catch up on my reading!
