does it need to be a hostess? I guess I could do drag... ;-)

I would be willing to host... don't remember the booklet so I'd need help on

that.

Hugs!

> Before we can really get the swaps off the ground, we need someone to host

each of them.

>

> For the product swap, the host will decide the theme, and those who choose to

participate will make something within the required parameters (to be decided by

the hostess) and will make one for each person. Bring the items to the

gathering, where the swap hostess will organize getting each person's items

doled out. At the end of the gathering, you'll pick up your goodies.

>

> For the Yankee Swap, each participant brings a plain box of " stuff " that is

worth about $10. Soap and candle supplies are popular, but sometimes people

include gift items. Everyone picks a number and the person who picks #1 chooses

any box to open. Person #2 chooses among any of the others, and then has the

choice between #1's box and the box she chose. Person #3 then chooses a box and

can keep hers or choose the box of either #1 or #2, and so one. At the end, #1

gets to pick any box of the lot.

>

> Again, we need swap hostesses, hint, hint. Anyone game? :-) It's an easy

job, especially the Yankee Swap. In previous years, Colleen has made up a

lovely swap booklet that we each get to take home. It isn't essential for a

swap hostess to make one up, but it would be nice.
