February SWAP 2008
Written by Sprittibee on February 10, 2008 – 2:58 pm -
Welcome to the February HSBA Saturday Swap!
We had quite a few sets of swappers last month. We only got a few links in to showcase, though. Some of us (including me and my swap buddy) were tardy and unable to post a photo… because of late shipment (or lack of shipment) on swap presents! I guess I can’t harp on you guys if I fall behind myself, eh? Oh, well. Enjoy the links we do have and hopefully I can come back in and add a few more later!
JANUARY SWAP HIGHLIGHTS:
Check out these swap presents:
Judy shares her swap gift on My Adventures in Homeschooling.
Lori shares her swap gift on All You Have to Give.
Cindy shares her swap gift on Gooblink.
Heidi shares her swap gift on Reviews by Heidi.
Amanda shares her swap gift on The Daily Planet
I know you already know what a SWAP is… but in case you need a refresher…
Check out our past SWAP Posts here at HSBA. Chances are they will answer all of your questions and more. Oh, and if you swapped in the past and forgot to send in your link, it isn’t too late! We would love to add your post showcasing your swap gift to our past posts. People still like to click back and see all the gifts, so by all means - share!
PAST SWAPS:
October 2007 Swap (Intro)
November 2007 Swap (October Highlights)
December 2007 Swap (November Highlights)
January 2008 Swap (December Highlights)
We hope you’ll join in the fun! Spread the news and ask your homeschool friends to join. You have until Wednesday the 14th to leave a comment here with your email. I’ll contact you and send you a questionnaire!
Here are some basic rules for every swap:
1. Don’t offer to participate and sign up if you can’t get the gift in the mail by the last day of the month. (Ouch! Even I broke that rule last month!)
2. Don’t spend more than 5$ on your swap gift (not including postage). You will end up making your buddy feel like they didn’t give enough to you.
3. Get to know your swap buddy. Pray for them! Send them a Bible verse! Email them! Etc.!
4. Do NOT share your swap buddies’ personal information (last names or addresses) with anyone else.
5. Make sure you post a photo and ‘Thank You’ for your swap sister - thanking her and linking to her blog.
6. Email me a copy of your swap post link so I can showcase it for the following month!
Suggestion (new): Please make sure you take extra care when packaging your gifts if they are breakable or fragile. Two or three times now we have had swap gifts damaged by UPS and the Postal Service!
Who’s in???

I sent my swap out soooooooooooooo late, so I’m going to sit this one out unless we have a shortage. Let your friends know about it and I’ll close the swap at the end of the weekend since there are so few participants. Spread the word and see if anyone wants to join.
In Him,
Heather
