I want to mention that there is one closely related swap that has already finished sign ups. It is the Chocoholics Unanimous Swap which is being run by RondaS. Send outs for this swap are Feb 1st. This way if anyone is in both swaps, there is a staggered send off date of one week.

Threads are up in the New Swap Ideas section on both of those if you want to check them out, and here is the link to the swap below.

If you enter more than one of these swaps and want the same partner, let me and the other organizer know when you send in your entry. You will still have to craft the equivalent of the same amount of items, but will be able to send it all in one package if you prefer. This may be a good choice for someone with an international partner.
If you want to be sure to NOT have the same partner in any of the swaps, make sure to let me and the other organizer(s) know that too!
