After some disappointments the past few years participating in another ornament swap, I thought it was high time I started my own! And so, I present to you THE FIRST ANNUAL SMALL FOX ORNAMENT SWAP!
Here's how it will work. The first 20 people to email me at paperfoxling @ yahoo {dot} com with their name, address and a statement of interest are in the swap. You will then be responsible for making 10 ornaments and mailing them to me, along with $5 to cover postage, by November 21, 2009. I will then distribute the ornaments, so everyone gets what they put in to the swap, without having to worry about participants who flake out. You should receive your ornaments sometime the last week of November or first few days of December and then will have all of December to enjoy them!
Here are some examples of what I've made in the past:
I always try to put a lot of thought, time, and effort into the ornaments that I make each year and I know you will all do the same! I can't wait to find out who will be participating! Please post any questions you may have in the comments and then please check back, as I will be posting answers there as well! Happy Swapping!
can't wait!

I would like to participate, but before I commit I'd like to know how many I would need to make, when I'd need to send, and how the shipping will work (do we mail to individuals or mail to the hostess, for example)?
Thanks :)

Is this only open to US residents? I'm in Canada but it looks like fun!

I am in if you still have spots - I emailed you at the address you mentioned above. Looking forward to (hopefully) participating, if not this time then next time for sure!

Canadians are welcome. You just have to send a bit more money for postage!
