Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I’m hostessing a Christmas Stocking Swap. The stocking must be handmade in any good quality fabric. You could refashion an beautiful old wool blanket, or knit one, make a crazy quilt one, whatever you like. Decorate them with hand or machine embroidery (please, no glitter glue). Then fill the stocking with treats and treasures that fit your partner’s profile (which will be emailed to you). Please make sure that these fillers are of a quality you would like to receive.

Please only join the swap if you can participate, I am unable to angel anyone who can not or does not send. Besides, imagine your own disappointment if you were expecting a lovely pressie that never comes.

LAST DAY TO SIGN UP: Sunday, 18 November
SWAP MUST BE SENT BY: Saturday, 8 December

Please email me:

Your Name
Your Address
A little about yourself (married/children/grandchildren, etc.)
A List of your hobbies, interests, and favourites (music, movies, books, colours, styles, objects to collect, etc.)

THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL SWAP. Keep this in mind as you may be sending your package overseas. Spread the word, the more the merrier. You will have ONE swap partner.

Permalink for Swap

I hope some of you will join the fun!

Blessings,
