I’m sort of a bread pudding-a-holic. I inherited it from my mom, so I’m convinced it’s hereditary. Dying to try this recipe for Pear Nutmeg Bread Pudding.
I’ve been chomping at the bit for weeks just waiting to share the news – Greedy Girl (aka Caroline) and I have teamed up to bring you the 2010 Calendar Swap!
Here’s how it works:
+ e-mail your name, blog or web site, and snail-mail address to calendarswap@gmail.com by Saturday, October 31.
+ we’ll pair you up and send your swapmate’s details on or before Monday, November 2.
+ you’ll have until November 15 to get your calendar mailed and on its way.
+ keep your calendar under $30 but no less than $20 (since there are also some wonderful calendars out there that don’t add up to $20, consider throwing in a few extra goodies).
+ NO mall kiosk calendars (kittens, marilyn monroe, you get it).
+ handmade is very welcome, just keep in mind the $30 suggested value.
+ check out your swapmate’s web site or blog, or consider getting to know their tastes via e-mail, to get an idea of what they might like.
+ the swap is open to international readers.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, no?
Caroline and I will set up a place on flickr where we can post and share all of our lovely goods that we’ve received from our swap partners. Or, you can email a photo to one of us and we’ll do the posting for you. Simple!
If you have any questions just leave a comment or drop us an email and we’ll get back to you right away. But don’t forget, you need to email calendarswap@gmail.com
to actually join the swap!
Now obviously the fun part of the equation is finding the perfect calendar. And we’ve got you covered! Each and every day, this coming Tuesday through Friday, I’ll be posting calendar roundups of the prettiest and best out there. Caroline will be following up with her favorite each day. So hurry and sign up, my dears, and stay tuned for some lovely calendar giveaways along the way!
