I've had a request to do the scavenger hunt for Christmas, as I haven't had any in a while. I was also thinking in lieu of a scavenger hunt, maybe a stocking swap - you have a partner, get a dollar limit and have to get to know your partner - you make or buy a stocking then fill it with goodies for your partner. What say ye? Scavenger Hunt or Stocking Partner Swap? |

I agree with Lyn, I think a stocking swap sounds fun, something different and new.  I will go with the majority, thanks Shari for offering to hostess again!!

Okay, if we do a stocking swap - questions: 1. Dollar Limit? 2. Require at least one homemade item? |

$$ amount I think would be whatever you would normally do the swap for-can't remember what my last scavenger hunt was, $15 or $20? I agree, at least one home made item! Lyn

Oh wow! I do want to be in this swap~ Count me in please~ I vote for the stocking . Does it have to be homemade though, or just one gift in the stocking be homemade? I vote for 20.00 limit. One of the best gifts to give a child/grandchild is your listening ear.

| I wasn't necessarily thinking the stocking needed to be homemade, unless you wanted it to be - just one item in the stocking (although last time I did one of these, there was no way half of the stuff would fit into a stocking!). |

| ...just a reminder, in order to participate in a swap of this size on SWN, you must have participated successfully in another, smaller swap first - check out the fq monthly swaps or other swaps going on if you wish to participate in the stocking swap and haven't previously participated in swaps on SWN! |
