Grateful Swap

After a two-year hiatus, it's time for another swap! We are pleased to announce that our next Sister's Shoebox Swap has a theme of Grateful!

For those are who are unfamiliar with our swaps, my sister and I started these several years ago as a unique way to make a new friend and encourage them. Based on the information you send us, we match you with someone we think you will pair well with, and then we ask each of you to fill a shoebox with goodies tailored to the theme and your swap partner. It's a lot of fun!

This theme is mainly aimed at Thanksgiving, but Christmas can certainly be included! I've started working on my goodies and Christmas is heavily represented so far :)

Please read the following details carefully if you are interested in swapping:

1.Before you send us an e-mail, please consider if you have the time and resources to fulfill your swap. We don't want anyone to be disappointed!

2. You need to fill out your questionnaire as part of the sign-up. In order to sign up for this swap, please e-mail therustyrobin {at} gmail {dot} com with the following info {sorry, our swap email account does not seem to be working right now}:
