I was planning on doing the Santa’s Sack swap again this year.
We’ve been doing sign ups late Sept and then having about 2 months of crafting time. Has that been working for everyone?
So sign ups late Sept-early Oct.
Send outs beginning of Dec.
Swap details
I love this swap and I’m super tempted.
I will be in this one. Thanks for giving us a heads up that it will be coming around again.
This is such a great swap! I am tempted, although with the costs and challenges of international postage, I think I might chat with potential partners ahead of time, rather than expect anyone to mail to Australia.
I’d be up for the challenge of seeing what we could do with envelopes if you want to participate. Or setting an ounce limit on a padded envelope.
I’m on the fence otherwise but I’ve always loved this swap so it’s a strong probably for me.
I love this swap but I’m on the fence. I have a couple personal packages I want to work on and my fall is looking busy work-wise, I’m not sure I’ll have the bandwidth. I’ll have to see where I’m at when sign ups start.
What dimensions are the gift bags? Or is that up to interpretation? I’d be interested and this gives me tons of heads up time
This sounds really fun! Since I’m new to LC, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to swap yet but maybe by the time the sign-ups open, I’ll be able to join in.
And I definitely agree about postage and restrictions to overseas locations. It’s really expensive now, which stinks. Wish there was a better option!
It’s open. It just needs to fit your items you send. so if you are sending items that are little then your bag doesn’t need to be as big. I figure we can all use a variety of sizes in bags!
@RRMother you almost qualify to swap, you need to have made a total of 15 posts and you’ve made 10. you can easily do 5 more by sign up time!
Welcome to LC! 
I’ve never done this swap but I would love to do it!!!
You said its open and i went to sign up. 
The size is open. I get it now. I will be signing up when this opens!
I’ll definitely be signing up for this one too. I love it so much!
I’m in! : )
Could we buy a reusable gift bag? Maybe add an extra gift instead? I don’t sew and my knitting skills are limited.
@whatthepuck - I like your solution of making an extra gift if you buy a bag instead of making one!
Last year we did have some issues where people bought bags and painted them instead of making bags from scratch even though the instructions were clear. So it does seem that people would like an option!
So yes lets make it so there are 2 options:
Option 1:
or
Option 2:
I’m definitely in for this swap!
I like having the two options. (Pretty sure I was the one who painted the bag last time. 
I’m sorry I didn’t read the swap info carefully. )
Definitely appreciate the reminder!
It was more than one person 
so there’s obvious a want for more options!
Good plan @geekgirl and thanks for @whatthepuck for suggesting the option!
