As promised, I'm posting a new swap. I have previously hosted this swap and participated in several other recipe swaps. They are always fun and the recipes are really fantastic and usable! I'm opening lots of groups with four people in each. More groups will be added, if there is enough interest. For each group that you sign up for, you will make a recipe card for the other people in your group, none necessary for yourself.

The due date is August 2, 2008 (this is a set-in-stone date). The return date will be August 6, 2008. Please note that I am a dependable host and I would like to think that every person who signs up for this swap will honor the guidelines that are set forth for the swap. If for some reason you are not able to fulfill your commitment to the swap, please contact me as soon as you know, don't just disappear.

Dig out your favorite recipe(s) and sign up! You may sign up for as many groups as you want to. When you add your name to this swap, please tell me the group(s) and the name of your recipe, so we don't have any duplications.

Each recipe will be attached to a 6" x 6" cardstock (quality, please) and must include some embellishment(s) that is related to the recipe. You must sign the back of every recipe card you send in (or use a return address label).

I guess that's it for now. Below you will see some examples from other recipe swaps. You will be receiving mailing information, including my address, in a PM once the swap has been closed to sign ups. If you have questions, please ask. I'm looking forward to this swap and having lots of participation!

Used stickers.

Used metallic burgers, ants, catsup and mustard bottles.

Used neckerchief paper with a denim star.

The window is white shrink plastic.

The turtles are die cuts layered upon one another.

The jar is very realistic.

A little ZipLock bag that has the items inside was used on this one.
