This is the kitchen gadget swap sign up thread. I will assign partners to send a kitchen gadget to. This is for fun and we'll set the max cost to be $10.
If interested in signing up, please send me your full name and address via email and I will post the partner list later.

Deadline for sign up is 2-16 and I'll assign partners and post it on 2-17

This is not an endless train. It's a one time deal. You give to your assigned partner and someone will give to you.
The kitchen gadget can be anything kitchen related. (ie utensils, towels, spices, spoon rest, recipe cards, etc)
I will post a deadline to have your swap sent out by once i have the partner list posted.

I used to host swaps on my yahoo groups pen pal club and thought why not do it here now. We've got such a great group.

We can put a dollar amount on it. (not to exceed $10)

**edited to add** This is not a secret pal thing. You will know who you're sending to and who you are receiving from and who everyone else is sending and receiving too when the list is posted.

Sign me up Sara.

Can I make a suggestion though. If you can, could you match Canadians with Canadians, its a lot easier to send packages too.

This sounds like lots of fun!!

I'm going to host swaps monthly with different themes. If it picks up, I'll do twice a month. I hosted twice a month on my yahoo groups for awhile and it went pretty smoothly.

Deadline to send out will be March 3rd. When you mail your swap, please post that it's been mailed and when you receive please post it was received.
If you can't fulfill your swap for any reason, just say so. Things often happen in life that we don't count on. Do not go running off and vanishing off the planet over a kitchen gadget. LOL Just let me know.
