And so we’re ready for another swap. Seems like yesterday that we were doing the April-May one. Either time is speeding up or older mamas just can’t keep up with the regular pace of things… not sure which.
I hope you enjoyed this past swap. I know I did. Ready to do it again?
Check out some of these links to get ideas if you are swap-challenged (some are belated from past swaps that were turned in to us late, others are from the most recent swap:

Yours not listed here? Email or comment with a link and we’ll add it! It is never too late! People still like to click back and see all the gifts, so by all means – share!
Are YOU interested in getting a groovy care-package in the mail (instead of bills)? Then leave a comment below to let us know you want to participate. It’s ever so easy. Make sure to leave a valid email address. We’ll send you a questionnaire form and pair you with another swapper. When you get your gift, just take a picture of it and post about it on your blog. How easy is that?!
Be sure to put the dates below on your calendar and make sure you don’t forget them!
Here’s the schedule:
SIGN UP: By June 19
PAIRED UP: By June 25 (Friday)
MAIL SWAP: By July 24 (Saturday)
POST PHOTOS: By July 30 (Friday)
EMAIL LINKS TO ME: By August 6 (Friday)
NEXT SWAP: August 14th
Sign up by June 19 (next Sunday) and you have two months to get your present out, get your gift photographed and posted, and email us the link! Our next sign-up won’t be until AUGUST 2010.
Don’t know what a swap is? Click on the ‘Saturday Swap’ Category on our sidebar and see some of our past swaps. Our very first one was October 2007.
Important: Stumble, facebook and tweet this post (our twitter account is @hsbapost) to help gather up all the swap-loving homeschoolers you know.
We hope you’ll join in the fun! Spread the news and ask your homeschool friends to join.
Here are the basic rules for every swap:
1. Don’t offer to participate and sign up if you can’t get the gift in the mail on time (you have 2 months).
2. Don’t spend more than 15$ 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: Please make sure you take extra care when packaging your gifts if they are breakable or fragile. Two or three times now we had swap gifts damaged by UPS or the Postal Service!
Who’s in???

Can't wait!
I haven’t received a questionnaire yet and I noticed the pairings would be made by this Friday…is there something else you need from me? Or is the questionnaire coming?
Closing the swap and sending the questions now!
Has the August swap not started? Or am I missing it somewhere?
Sorry about the tardiness in here! I’ve been gearing up for our blog awards in the fall and working behind the scenes to gather up prizes for the winners. I forgot to write “closed” on the post. The questions have already gone out. If you didn’t get yours, email the Post (see our contact button) and let me know! Otherwise, fill your forms out and I’ll be pairing all that I have back today.
