Christmas Garland Swap

I felt that it would be fun to start a Christmas Garland Swap. I sold our Christmas tree last summer when we were planning on selling our house, and sold heaps of our Christmas decor, but thought it would be nice and fun to have something handmade and unique to decorate with for the Holidays.
So, I thought..what about a Christmas Garland exchange. !
------
What we will do is create a 9 ft long garland for our partners using anything from tinsel, jute, yo-yo embellishments, anything that our hearts desire.
Total creativity and fun to create a unique/special garland to decorate with.
These garlands can be used on a tree, or hung on a mantle, or draped over a window...well..you get the idea.
--------------
You can find ideas and supplies on etsy.com by looking under "Supplies" and typing in keyword: garland
Inspirational ideas by looking on flickr.com
or by going to etsy.com and doing a search under the title "Handmade" and typing in keyword : garland.
This will help you to get inspired and give you ideas.
---------
Let's try to keep our garland creations cost price to no more than $20.
-----------
Sign ups to start now and open until October 14th.Partners to be assigned on October 15th.
--------
Garlands to be sent to our partners by November 21st.
