So fun!! I blog at www.kd-quilts.com. I should be the other co host since I'm awesome! ; )
ReplyDeleteI would love to be considered for this wonderful position, it would be so out of my comfort zone and a great learning experience for me and... I love to make gifts. I blog at http://www.cloverandviolet.com with my sweet and adorable daughter Jennie.
ReplyDeleteOMG...I "sew" want to do this! I was just thinking about a gift exchange the other day and trying to come up for a reason to get people to do it. This is perfect. It's sad when the holidays are over and all the gift exchanges are behind us. Oh please, oh please, pick me! www.GeminiRedCreations.com
ReplyDeleteYou can find me over at www.thecraftykitty.co.uk. I have emailed you my entry.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to host!!! You know where to find me. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, don't pick me, but I have to put in a vote for my mom! :) I'm super impressed that she's volunteered, and I think she'd do a fabulous job! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to play! I quilt & sew, and share my makings at www.craftytammie.com. Also, I am an amazing baker, so your gift would include some tasty treats. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to co-host. I've hosted and participated in both online and "offline" swaps. I really enjoyed the last round of the Covert Robin. I blog at www.artfriendzy.blogspot.com What an honor to be considered. Thanks for putting it out there. Jan
ReplyDeleteOooh...count me in! I'd love to co-host (ahappystitch.com). This looks like a blast.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I forgot to convince you that you should pick me! Well...I'm a born and bred Midwest girl so I am nice and prompt but I live in New Jersey now so that means I have a bit of a cynical edge that is mostly funny. So, I will be polite, prompt and make you laugh! Pretty good deal, huh? Also, I come from a long line of sewists and even have yards and yards of the lace my grandmother used to use to make her own lingerie. I've been sewing for a long time but only started to take it very seriously a few years ago when I left my job to be a part-time sewist/sewing teacher and full-time parent.
DeleteRachael, I'm not sure my blog is "active" enough, but I'd love co-host. Such a fun group of hosts you've already compiled! If you pick me, I promise to make a fabulous handmade prize, and to meticulously cut and paste. ;) And really, I'm just excited you're doing this again, since I missed the last one. I'll definitely be participating this time (co-host or not)!
ReplyDeleteRachel -- I would enjoy the opportunity to be considered for this swap team. I am a regular blogger at http://karmawillowdesigns.blogspot.com/ and have been looking for more opportunities to become in online swaps. (it looks like from the line up you guys need another R person to have 2 of each letter -- but K is like R with the top cut off). If not chosen I would still like to partisipate in the swap and look forward to more details coming soon.
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! I blog at http://www.chickadeejess.com. I'm super fun and I loooove to make things for other people. :)
ReplyDeleteI would so love to do this!!!!!! www.ajennuinelife.com Pick me because I'm an accountant and creative, so I'm exactly what this project needs! I love making handmade gifties for new friends - trying to figure out what would make them happy is so much fun for me!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this! I blog at www.sewwhatscooking.com. I would love to get to know you all and make a fun gift for someone!
ReplyDeletePick me! :)
I'll probably participate anyway, so why not throw my hat into the ring? I am at www.fourwildblueberries.com. :) xo
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to please pick me! I started a new blog, www.lovebyhand.com that celebrates all things handmade! I also have an Etsy Shop Love Elaine, and blog, www.love-elaine.com that I could use to help promote. I LOVE to make handmade gifts and would love the opportunity to help promote the Covert Robin handmade gift exchange!
ReplyDeleteI'm not volunteering to host (I have enough on my plate with Chaotic Goddess Swaps), BUT I would love to sign up for this...please do it! And post the signups soooon. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I wanted to throw my name in...but I'm totally intimidated by the others who have responded. Anyway...Courtney can tell you anything you want to know about me...just promise not to ask back in time TOO far:) I'm at belle-n-bee.blogspot.com and had a blast playing along last time! Becky
ReplyDeleteI would love to co-host! You can find me at www.lorihdesigns.com. I love the idea of donating a prize, I have been wanting to give back to the quilting community lately. And I have been wanting to participate in a blog event since Heidi and I ended the Long Weekend Event. I wasn't able to participate in the last round but I loved following along!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list please! I blog at sewingnovice.com. I would love to co-host so I can show my followers that the blogging community is so much fun and that even though we make our own handmade items that it can also be fun to receive them. The most difficult decision is going to be what to make! I'm sure there will be some hard competition (even though it's not a competition). :) I also can't wait to see what every makes or to find out who I get to make something for!
ReplyDeleteI love the groveling. More bribing! More!
ReplyDeletebaaaahahahaha!!!
DeleteDoes the fact that I make "award-winning" brownies and chocolate-covered cinnamon bears...and, more importantly, that I share these treats help?
ReplyDeletePlease pick me!!!! I blog, I facebook, I twitter, and I Flickr, and I IG...oops, forgot Pinterest...so I'm definitely well conntected.
