Just thought I'd bump this, in case there are any latecomers who would like to join up before catie_lou assigns people to people. Hallowe'en is gone, over, finished, which means that, a few fireworks aside, it's nearly Christmaaaaaaasssss!!!

[catie_lou]

Sorry for the delay guys. Currently on holiday. I will assign everyone their swappee tomorrow.

[Kitcameron]

Ooh exciting

[catie_lou]

Swappees all allocated and messages sent. They are currently in my outbox so should be with you shortly.

Just want to add I hope everyone has fun making their little gift and what ever you receive you will use for always.

My last 3 gifts go on my tree every year.

[EnigmaFish]

Crap. I forgot to sign up. I hesitated to do it pq I didn't have any ideas, then I thought of an idea and forgot to sign up.
