Somerset Surprise EDITED

The holidays are too busy to stay focused on swapping, but many of us would go into withdrawal by skipping out altogether. So here is an easy swap.

Anything goes. Anything Somerset-ty, that is. For this swap you will send your partner a package of goodness that can include anything in the Somerset Style. It can be hand made or crafty supplies. If you do something handmade, let's keep it relatively simple and stick to things that take you an hour or less to make since it is such a busy time of year.

Some ideas to get you started:
-Somerset publications (gently used is fine but not too old)
-an altered composition book, box, or tin
-a bit of bling for use in crafting
-an ornament
-a set of cards or gift tags
-a tussie mussie
-a package of craft-worthy images, collage sheets, etc.
-a nice set of Bingo or flashcards, game pieces
-a pendant or bracelet -some Stickles, stain, ink pads, or stamps
-some lovely felt or fabric for crafting
-some burlap, muslin, or canvas You get the idea.

Again, let's keep this relatively simple but we'll stick to our Somerset roots. This is Sender's Choice, for those of us who like to get working on our goodies when we sign up.

Special Note: I adore this group and want to see it flourish as a safe, friendly place for the highest quality swaps. This swap is limited to group members who are known to send thoughtful, high quality packages that are well-packaged and sent on time. Folks who have had late sends, quality that was not Somerset-worthy, or poor packaging in their swaps will need to sit this one out. Also, kindness counts. Being fair but respectful in your comments, PMs, etc is a must.
