3rd Annual Happy Bookmas!!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, the Solstice, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Mistletoemas, or whatever else you may celebrate, let's wish each other a Happy Holiday!

But this swap will be just a smidge different. Instead of the generic greetings for holidays, in District 13 we will celebrate HAPPY BOOKMAS!

Create a Happy Bookmas card for your partner. Maybe you want to use a literal translation of the holiday, or alter a book cover to work for Bookmas. Whichever you decide, just make it nice and in card form :)

Before you seal the card up and mail it off, give your partner a book recommendation or two, and tuck in a bookmark. The bookmark can either be store bought or handmade. And for this year, let's add some pizzazz to the envelope. Either with stickers, drawing, color, etc. Make it a fun envie to open :)

So, to sum it up:

1 Bookmas card with a book recommendation
1 bookmark, store bought or handmade
Do something to decorate the envelope

I know this is a shorter swap than we usually do, and I do apologize for it. Since this is NOT profile based, there is about 1 week interval between sign up deadline and send by date.

This is always fun! But it is cheating to send a very similar card to previous years, if we have a new partner?

@camelsamba I was thinking the same thing, though that means I can't start working on it until after partners are assigned, just in case I get the same partner. So I'm undecided... I might try something new and see how it comes out then use what I did last year as a fall-back if needed.

Oh crap! I did not see these questions until now :( Either way would have been okay with me. I know the last 2 years I used the same basic card. This year was different though lol. Sorry for the late and unhelpful answer :(
