Certificate coming soon) by February 3. In turn, receive stuffy from partner. Bring stuffy around to eight places in your hometown or in a nearby city, to get the feel of your area. Take pictures and collect memorabelia (i.e. postcards, movie stubs) and affix it in a small scrapbook of your making along with captions. Last but not least, design an outfit for the stuffy reflecting your times together and send back to your partner, by (tentatively, depending on how everyone is doing) by March 18th.

Thank you so much americandemockracy & Classycrafter for organizing this!! I watched the first one and it is such a a neat swap idea. The hard part will be chosing who to send on vacation. 

[star69]

I'm REAAALY considering joining this, because it sounds so fun, but, i'm gonna need a hell of an amount of money to be swapping so much....

[vexy5260]

I'll be sure to sign up sometime tonight!   

[americandemockracy]

I'm really hoping that I hear back from classycrafter- she volunteered a while ago -honest!- but I haven't heard back from her!

~Katie

Okay. I have now.  We're on.

[classycrafter]

Yea! This is so exciting!! Its going to be fun. 

[lamamarco]

I really want to do this one.. I don't know though.. I'm already signed up for a few swaps.. I'll think about it

[SewPixie]

Think of it this way....if you have a little visitor they can help you with the other swaps. Cheap stuffy labor. LOL Just kidding. Have no fear any stuffy sent to me will not be cleaning my house. 

[vexy5260]

Has anyone decided what animal to send yet?

I think I will send George, one of my 20 something monkeys.

My ex-boyfriend gave him to me as a surgery/birthday present.

I'm just not sure if I can sleep without him...

[SewPixie]

I think all of mine are going to have to audition.  DH says to send Boston our bear from Build A Bear, but I am thinking Cinnamon, another bear we have. The dog wants to send one of his 'babies' but he doesn't understand they would have to get washed first. I'm also thinking of making a kitty stuffy to send.
