Hints for Secret Pal and all other swappers- -please post your information here

[Kittyquilt9292]

Hello everyone,
Seems I did a too quick thing and in my haste forgot that other swappers besides secret pals use the hints as well. So, I've changed the title so that everyone who is participating in a swap should use this thread to post their information.
If we all use this thread, we won't have to look through all the entries of people who aren't playing this year or who aren't even members any more...........hope this helps us all...hugs, carol/kittyquilt



Please take the few minutes to fill out the questions so we can keep our list current.

You can either copy and pasted the list of questions and then answer them, or just repeat the questions and answer them. The more information you provide, the more help to your Secret Pal when she/he is choosing your gift items. Thanks for your help, please pm me if you have questions or concerns. Hugs, carol/kittyquilt
