Happy New Year everyone and may it be a great year ahead for us all.
I am very pleased to be able to join Lyn and Lilian here at "All Things Vintage" to scatter some sweetness with monthly swaps.
I am hoping you will all join me in making a swapping integrity pledge. This is important if swaps are to run sweetly and smoothly. Please copy and paste the following into your reply when you sign up, using your own name of course.
Swapping Integrity Pledge
Now onto the swap - In times gone past nothing was wasted, all things were reused and repurposed very little was thrown away. This got me to thinking about all the "stuff" I have and how easy it is to buy that little something else instead of taking the time to make it myself. So I got out some fabric and have been making my own embellishments.
When you sign up for January's Scattering of Sweetness you will recieve a small envelope which will contain squares of vintage fabric, some pearls and some buttons. You will use the contents, and of course you may like to add things of your own, to make embellishments for your partner to use. Inside the envelope will also be the name of your partner.
Sign up by the 15th of January to participate.
All envelopes will be posted by the 20th of January.
Hopefully by the 1st of February everyone will have received their envelope.
Make your embellishments and endevour to have them in the mail by the 15th February.
So yes this swap will run over January and February but in the mean time take a look at Lilians Friendship pages and Lyns card challenge. You are sure to learn a lot and enjoy a little vintage sweetness while you wait for your envelopes to arrive.
This is the list of participants.

Diana Lee Hammond
Lilian Moir
Josie Hancock

Ursula Uphof
Sandy Larsen

To be on time, to participate in discussions, and to communicate if I am going to be late or unable to complete my obligations to my swap partner. I did not put this in the first time so now so here is my pledge.
Permalink Reply by Mel W on January 1, 2012 at 1:18pm I'd love to join in .. this is going to be fun! I don't recall if you are on my friends list so I will maybe have to send you a request so that you can get my address details , ok? : )
Permalink Reply by RATS on January 1, 2012 at 1:43pm I hope you and I get paired Mel. What fun we will have.
Karen this sure sounds like fun. I am still in the Netherlands till 16 Feb., but I just realised that if I get mine sent here I can still take part, I agree with Lilian that you should not have to bear the cost of all the postage. I will put my pledge uphere, and if it is OK, I will then send you my addy here in NL.

Sending you warm wishes
Yes of course Ursula thats a great idea. I am sure you could find a needle and thread and that will probably be all you will need.

Morning ladies
Thanks for signing up and also for taking the pledge. Its so nice to be back together.
To answer your questions;
I have set the dates above just as a guide only and realise that some mail will take longer than others but I am hoping that by doing this over January and February we will have plenty of time for everyone to complete the swap.
Now ladies aren't you just lovely - please don't worry about the postage. I did my homework and so long as I keep my envelopes to a certain size and thickness all will be fine. I want to do this so please don't worry and I have loads of fabric and pearls and buttons that I would love to share with you all and I also happen to have a pile of envelopes.
