Writer Birthday Party 2015 (USA)

Much thanks to @mleerobb and @pobuffy who established the public swaps and inspired this one for our group.

This swap is limited to 12 people, one for each month of the year, and will take place throughout the entire year. We're going to be celebrating birthdays in a big way.

Each month you will send a birthday gift package to the person who has a birthday that month. You will be matched with 11 partners, one for each month (except your own birth month). In your birthday month you should get 11 gifts, one from each person in the swap. That's a sweet birthday party!

All packages should be postmarked by the 10th of the month to ensure delivery during the birthday swapper's month. If you know someone has an earlier birthday, aim to get your package out to them in time for the actual day.

The present you send each month should be wrapped, profile or writerly based and have an approximate value of $4-$8. Include a birthday card with your name and the swap name.

You will be rating all 11 partners. Rate as you receive -- not at the end of the year!

The swap will close when all of the spots are filled. Only one person per month is permitted. You need to have your birth date on your profile. I'll gather all the dates and send reminders to everyone during the year.

Post your birth month below. The first person who claims a month will have it. I'll fill in the calendar as months are claimed.

International officers, feel free to post international versions. Other officers, once all 12 dates are filled in this swap, someone can start a Round 2.

I will angel, but everyone in Write Now is vetted so there should be no flaking.
