a round-robin gift exchange of handmade presents. you get to make something special for another blogger, and you'll also receive your very own handmade present from a mystery gifter (your "covert robin").
handmade gifts should have an approximate retail value between $20 and $30. i know this can be tricky to determine for some items, so if you have any questions about what is/is not appropriate, please don't hesitate to email me: rachael {at} imaginegnats {dot} com. thank you!
how does it work?
sign-ups are open through february 28. once sign-ups close, my co-hosts and i will assign everyone a gift recipient. after receiving your recipient, you'll make your gift and send it off. and here's the extra fun part: you can blog about the gift you made and/or the gift you received for a chance to win prizes! we'll host a linky party starting april 1, and each of the co-hosts will be randomly awarding one participant a prize (that's eight chances to win!).
when does this happen?
sign-ups: are now closed
recipient information: has been emailed
gifts: must be mailed by march 31
blog post link-up: open april 1-30
prize winners will be chosen randomly and announced on may 3
