I'm planning to run a swap for every month with this same idea, so keep your eyes out for things that coordinate with the upcoming months!

Because of the recent hike in international shipping charges I am keeping it as a USA and Canada only swap, but if anyone wants to host an international version then please go for it!

I love this idea. I do hope you run more swaps of this type.

If all goes as planned I'll do one every month :)

This is is a great idea! I am going to see if I can find the ten things needed before I commit though! A question...have you been doing these monthly challenge swaps for a long time? I remember seeing the last one, but I was still kinda foggy since I had just had surgery. I guess what in getting at is that I might like to do some private swaps for January thru March. Susi

I started them in January, so you have only missed the 3. I'd be happy to do a private swap with you for one of them, and I'm sure you can find others for the other two, that way you'll get a better variety. Let me know :)
