"Winter makes a silence in us
that echoes the season"
from...celebrating the great mother
Yule...Winter Solstice...Christmas
~Celebrate the Season~
whatever it be for you
come celebrate the season
together with friends
mother earth and all her gifts lay quiet
silently sleeping
enduring the cold
yet the season sparkles with wonder and magic
there is a gentle glow coming from one and all
a sense of calm
amongst the scurry of the holiday
a feeling of delight
ever more compassionate
wanting and willing to share and give
even during the darkest of hours
we find light from eachother
Faerwillow

I love the idea of the exchange of 3 gifts. Count me in on that one, please! This is a nice magical season indeed!
When you say the swaps will close on November 24th, do you mean that the gifts are to be sent out that day? I know mails are slow at the holiday, but working full-time makes it hard for me.

Oh my, decisions, decisions. Well let's see, I'll take one 3 gift, 1 ornament, 1 greeting and why yes we'll take 1 book exchange for the child. So, I'm in on all of them. Don't forget me lovely lady, I wanna play. The Olde Bagg, Linda
Oh my goodness! What fun!!!! I'd love to participate in all of them, as well. I don't have a child of my own, but I love children's literature. Is that still permissible? Theresa
Oh Faerwillow, I have been trying to comment on your blog but I cannot comment from my mobile device. So I have to wait to come home and do it. Oh boy, I am not good with homemade stuff. I think it is marvelous but I also happen to be so paranoid about food. I cannot eat other people's food, unless I personally know him or her.I know, may be weird to some but I choose to be that way. However, I wish you a lot of fun on this adventure. Have a wonderful week. I have been swamped at work. I tried to email you but I guess your email is not attached to your profile.
I didn't realize these were different swaps. Count me in on the book, ornament...oh heck, count me in on them all. Forget my earlier post. Sadly though, with my eyesight and fingers that won't move like they used to, I can't send anything homemade.
i love your message here, always with love and thoughtfulness.
Best regards,
I love your exchanges and especially love the idea of the book. I need to see how I'm coming along on some paid projects I need to get done before I commit, but am thinking I might be able to squeeze one or two things in. I'll let you know before the deadline.
I finally got the photos of what you sent me up. My net dropped to such a speed that it kept "timing out" before I could get a page or anything up, so I apologize for the delay.
The book for a child just makes me smile.
Blessings to you!
You are so thoughtful and these swaps are a truly wonderful idea. Count me in for all! I have sent you an email. How exciting! Brightest blessings.
love the idea.. count me in on all of them of course...
Can I play? xJ
looks like you are brewing up some holiday magic here. you are so gifted this way. Such a lovely post in so many ways.
What a beautiful idea! I saw your post over at Theresa's "Welcome to my World" blog and I would love to participate. I'm not myself crafty but I do purchase most of my goodies on etsy. Does that count? And of course the Xmas book, I have lots of ideas for that. I love meeting new bloggers with blogs that I can now read. So, nice to meet you.

The greeting card, and the ornament are part of the 3? am I correct?
so something homemade, then a homemade greeting and an ornament either homemade or store bought?
If I am understanding correctly please count me in.
Thanks, Susan
