The deadline for busy bags is this week and while I had a lot of interest the swap initially it seems that many of you are having trouble finding ideas for your bags. Here is a list that I have found from various bloggers that I hope helps you to commit! I would really like to have 30 people participating in the swap, so spread the word to your friends and friends of friends.

ReplyDeleteI extended the deadline to Tuesday becuase of the hurricane and overall craziness that has caused :) I need them by the end of the month, but you will get an instruction email from me next week. It's looking like 30 bags total!
