It is no secret that the big guy in the red suit will be making his way down your chimney next month and we have decided what better way to get you in the mood then to host a Handmade Christmas Decoration Swap for this month’s project.
Head on over here to sign up for the swap and then start collecting ideas and inspiration so that you can send a gorgeous piece of handmade goodness to your swap partner once they are announced.
Please be sure to read the Conditions below before signing up.
We want to see what you make and send and, of course, what you get! Leave sneak peeks for your recipient by uploading it to the Creative Collective Flickr Group or the Facebook Page!
If you are a regular blogger be sure to stop by the Creative Collective Blog each Wednesday for our Creative Collective Link Love post where you can add your link and share sneak peeks of your goodies.
Remember, you can start getting ready now in time to send out when your swap partners are announced on or about 15 November 2011. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
