Oooh. I would have to seriously think about that one. I have a Japanese garden that I try to tame each year, and each year it is less and less the garden it was when I bought the house. Ha! I still enjoy it though.

I had an idea for a “spoil your partner rotten” swap but I personally think every swap should just be called that 'cause it’s what everybody ends up doing, haha!

I have immense swap guilt about actually sending my LGT partners a small item, even though I only signed up for that swap because I didn’t have enough time!
SUGGESTIONS
Literature (non-HP) swap theme. Could be specific like 19th century, classic literature, old books with female heroines like the Little House series, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables.
There are lots of HP swaps already so that’s why I’d like to exclude it for this swap.
I could organize but not this round.

NO GUILT! It’s strictly prohibited, lol. Sometime though the extras do get a little out of control, it’s true. It’s usually included in the questionnaire to be negotiated by partners. Good thing too 'cause mail to and even within Canada has gotten ridiculous! Pricey and slow as molasses in January, as my mama used to say about us kids getting ready for school in the morning, ha!

No need to feel guilty!
Sincerely,
One of your partners who also, uh, stuck closely to the swap requirements

I frequently feel guilty about not spoiling. I love the smaller swaps precisely because they are small. I also love the “no extras” requirement, it just takes the pressure off to go over the top.

Good! 
I hope you will love the extra.

I edited the Cryptozoology swap to be just 1 small item. That way, if people want to do more they can say it on the questionnaire. Right now, I feel like doing small swaps. I have to much Spring cleaning and yard work to attend to.

Will there be an option for folks who wish to swap ephemera as well as the paper embellishments? Or are we just planning to do paper embellishments? I’m good either way! Just asking…

I’ll be traveling this weekend.

That is one reason I like the ongoing wish swap. You can jump in when you feel like it and it is low pressure.

Ooo! I’d be interested in joining in something like that! I like the ongoing swaps.

Re: The Cryptozoology Swap - Brilliant! If that one gets picked, then, I will happily join. I feel like anything over a small I can’t commit to right now with my medical issues what they are. Happily, I’m getting my first spinal steroid injection today, and I am hoping that it solves the problem without surgery!
