Aug 26, Update: Swap is now closed, and I'll be posting partners here in a few days :) Thank you to everyone who signed up! I will also be extending the deadline for shipping by 1 week since I was on vacation, so now all swaps must ship by Sept. 22 :)
What are we swaping: anything owl, but it has to be handmade, and the total package should value $20 before shipping
When: sign ups will end August 25th, you'll get your partners shortly there after, and swaps will ship on or before September 15th (deadline for shipping extended to September 22 since I was on vacation when the swap was supposed to end... duh on my part.)
Who? WHO?: (get it :) all of you! To join this swap, you must have a shipping address in the U.S. You must have a blog, and that's it! So what are you waiting for! Sign up!!
How to sign up: To sign up, you need to do 2 things. First, leave a comment on this post, so your partner will have easy access to your info if they lose it, and so we can all see who's signing up, and second, email me :) send me your name, email addy, and blog addy.
Tell all of your friends! Let's make this fun! (if you need ideas for owls, search etsy, flickr and ebay! There are so many fun owl-themed things right now, and it's just in time for Halloween too!!
I LOVE this idea! DO ANOTHER ONE PLEASE!!!

IMPORTANT MAIL INFORMATION:
Anyone sending a package that is over 13 oz and has stamps (not meter tape) as the postage, then you cannot just put it in the mailbox, you will have to take it to the post office. It's a security thing and I had a package returned because of it!!

Well, lucky me! I just got home and thought that I would read a friends blog and it directed me to you! I would love to participate in the owl swap. My son has an owl collection. I will have to look it over carefully for inspiration. Thank you. Susan at Black Eyed Susans Kitchen
