Holiday Ornament Swap presented by cake & pie and

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Holiday Ornament Swap hosted by cake & pie and freshlyblended! The swap has gotten so big that we've had to move to a new venue this year. The basic idea of the swap is still the same but a few rules may have changed so read accordingly.

GUIDELINES The guidelines are simple: 1. Sign up for the swap by creating an account at swap bot, you will be walked through the whole process making it very easy and quick to sign up for the swap.

1. On November 12th you'll receive an email from us containing the addresses of 8-10 other swap participants to send your ornaments to.

2. Design a handmade ornament that you can create multiples of and make your ornaments.

3. Package your ornaments well...especially if you create anything fragile.

4. Send one of your ornaments to each person on the list of 8-10 other swap participants in your group by December 10th.

5. Sit back, relax and wait as you receive 8-10 fabulous handcrafted ornaments in the mail!

6. If you would like to share photos of the ornaments you make and receive, you can now do that right here at swap bot, how convenient!

*A note on international shipping. This year we do not have the ability to specify how many international addresses you will get so please plan for that. We also do not have the ability to create U.S. domestic-only swap groups. If you create lightweight ornaments that can be shipped in a padded envelope or small lightweight box, shipping prices really are not that much more international, but we encourage everyone to check with their local post office about shipping rates, or even bring your ornament to the post office to be weighed etc, if you are concerned about postal costs.
