The First Annual Christmas Gift Exchange!

I've been at this blog thing for two and a half years now... And over the years, I've gathered some pretty loyal readers... I enjoy this blog... A lot... It's one of my favourite things to do... And the best part is reading your comments, getting to know you all a little bit! So this year, I thought it would be really wonderful for you to get to know one another a bit better too!

Drum roll please... Welcome to the First Annual Gift Exchange! Would you like to get a sweet little gift, all wrapped up pretty, in the mail this Christmas? Who doesn't like to get mail?
Comment on this post before Wednesday, December 8th at Noon EST, letting me know that you'd like to participate along with your email address

I will then send you an email, requesting your mailing address

On Wednesday evening, December 8th, I will send you the name of another blog reader and her address

You'll then have the rest of the week and weekend to get your package ready

I recommend you ship your gift by Monday, December 13th so it will {hopefully} arrive by Christmas! (Of course we're dealing with the mail here friends, so please be patient with one another)!

What would be fun to send? Wrapped candy, handmade items, small books, stickers, magazines, Christmas decorations or anything you think might help to bring a little cheer to someone else's Christmas... And don't forget... Wrap it up so it looks as pretty as pretty can be!!!

Be sure to include a card with a bit of info about yourself

It's up to you how much time and cash to spend but I think around $25 would be about right

Finally, if you'd like to take a few high quality shots of your package before it ships out and email them to me, I will post some of the photos on Thursday, December 9th!

1. via 'Paper Crave'
2. via 'Art as Life'
4. via 'Scrapbook Lady'

Any questions? Shoot me an email at rebecca@theardentsparrow.com

I hope I've remembered everything... I'll add more info if need by, as I tend to be a bit forgetful! 
Enjoy my friends... And happy gift-giving!

And don't forget to take the time to enter this week's giveaway for a calendar from 'Honeytree'!
