Hello my scary littens! All matches have been sent for this year's #AllHallowsReadSwap

We have a small group this year and I think it's going to be an awesome one.

So you can start stalking (I mean following) your match.

Opening Day is Sunday, October 30th.

I think we should start a spooky #readathon with our new books that night. What do you think?

rsteve388 Yay!!! 2y
Johanna414 That's a great idea! 2y

Yuki_Onna I would have loved to have joined, too, so much!
But I've qot to watch my money atm, as I was on sick leave for a very long time... 😖
Next year again, right? - And I'll be stalking your group's posts this year nonetheless... 😉 Planning on joining the #readathon with my book gift from the #AllHallowsReadSwap last year, too.

wanderinglynn Awesome! 2y
catiewithac I don‘t normally do readathons, but I would for this swap. Everything about it makes me super happy! 👻 🐺 🎃 👹 2y
the.bookish.valkyrie That sounds like an awesome idea! 2y
mcipher Ooh yes! That does sound fun! 2y
StellarDoc Muhahahaha! Let the games begin! 2y
BookwormAHN Love the idea 😺 2y
Avanders Yay!!! 👏🏽👏🏽 Got mine! 🎃♥️ 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @Yuki_Onna I get it. I‘m only doing this and the Halloween #makersswap this year. Yay that you‘ll do the #readathon with us! 2y
Readergrrl I received my match! 😁 I‘d like to do a relaxation too! 2y
Chrissyreadit @Gissy I saw your name is a typo above- also hoping you are ok- I am hearing Fiona has hit PR hard. 2y
Chrissyreadit Got my match and am so glad I signed up in time! 2y
mcctrish I got my match and I‘m so excited, #readathon is a go for me 2y
wen4blu Got my match and ready to stalk! #readathon sounds like a great idea. 2y
ulrichyumiodd I got my match! Thank you so much for hosting! I don't usually do readathons, but maybe I'll be able to join in this time. 2y
LeahBergen Match received! 👏👏 2y
Yuki_Onna 🧡🖤🧡 2y
LibrarianRyan match received, shopped for and will go out the door this week. I‘m down. 2y
MatchlessMarie I did sign up but wasn‘t tagged or received an email 🤔 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @MatchlessMarie hmmm. There wasn‘t one there for you. I will turn the sign ups back on for you. 2y
MatchlessMarie @MaleficentBookDragon You don‘t have to. I just thought it was odd that it didn‘t capture. Unless you have an odd number and need an extra person. I just wanted to make sure I had my commitments in order for October. 🖤🧡 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @MatchlessMarie Oh no it I fine. I'll actually open it up for a couple more days to get any stragglers. 2y
BethM Got it! 2y
the.bookish.valkyrie I‘m super excited to do this swap, I got my the name of my swap match, which is great! But was there supposed to be a copy of their google form info? If so, mine didn‘t make it in the email. (edited) 2y
MaleficentBookDragon @ValkyrieAndHerBooks Ooops! I will get that to you when I get home tonight. 2y
the.bookish.valkyrie Thank you so much! 2y

Ya'll. I cannot help myself. Halloween swaps are my addiction.

I host the #NightmareSwap each Halloween, and we have changed it up many times. This time, I am making it a #MakersSwap for all of us to like to make things!. And it shall be the #NightmareMakersSwap.

https://forms.gle/wtDzA7YrvwzAR72H6

For those who have not been around for a #MakersSwap. It works like most others, except you have to make something for your swap, and send them ⬇

LibrarianRyan something that they can make. Plus you throw in a book to tie it all together!.

This is a fun swap. BEWARE the dates. This swap will open 1 week earlier than the other Halloween swaps - so we can enjoy peoples creations before Halloween. Yeahh.

As always if you have any questions please feel free to ask or check out some of the other tags.

Avanders I also totes missed this one…. Not that I should be involved in creative swaps… 😳🙈 But of course, I‘m generally all-in on the nightmare theme 😁😘🎃 2y

LibrarianRyan @Avanders you have time. I haven‘t closed it yet. Family wedding g weekend and the kids are down. I won‘t get it closed til tomorrow. I was going to repost and just have not had a chance. 2y
Avanders @LibrarianRyan cool! As indicated, I‘m not … as much of a maker as I‘d like to be (you know, time *and* talent permitting), but if using craft kits is acceptable, then I‘m in! I‘ll fill out the form now — But if you think craft kits wouldn‘t be appreciated (and note — I‘m happy to *send* real craft supplies, not just a kit, but I‘ll only be able to *use* a kit), then you can not match me. I‘ll completely understand!! 2y
LibrarianRyan @Avanders there is nothing wrong with lots. Sometimes that‘s how you learn new skills. So bring it on. 2y

Flew through another quick audiobook while I was studying and finishing up my #MakersSwap gift. It‘ll be sent out no later than Thursday, just as soon as I can pick up one last thing that I just thought of ☺️ I hope my swapee likes what I put together! @LibrarianRyan

Audiobook 4/30

@Jee_HookedOnBookz here is the one on my current book (which is tagged). This one has hidden snaps where the ones I‘ve sent out lately have colorful snaps. The snaps help keep it closed when you are not reading so you don‘t snag edges or anything. There are 4 intervals of snaps so you can still close it on various book thicknesses.

This one has been washed a few times and is STIL covered in puppy hair!

Jee_HookedOnBookz O M G! I lurrrrrve it! And Llamas 😍😍I think it's a fantastic and versatile design, and so darn practical, Ryan! How many designs do you have now? Just start selling it via Litsy first 😉I'm sure they'll get sold out in no time! 6y
LibrarianRyan @Jee_HookedOnBookz oh my goodness gonna make me think. I have some Myth and Legend designs that will be revealed in the next box opening. One Star Wars. A few space varieties (not like I sent Carrie as I made only two of those and sewed her name into it). hello Kitty, 2 different Skulls, a pin up day of the dead is on my machine now. Disney villains, tums tums, cat in the hat, ummmmmmmmmm. I don‘t remember. Some I made from leftovers. Soon. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Jee_HookedOnBookz also the llama was a one of. I love it but was not thinking when I chose white. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Jee_HookedOnBookz I make sleeves too but normally from leftovers. I hate not using left over foam. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Jee_HookedOnBookz if you do any type of making, it doesn‘t have to be sewing, I‘m hosting a summer #makersswap. 6y
Marilyncjackson Oh I want one! This looks so practical and cute 6y
Leftcoastzen Very Nice! 6y
gradcat Oh, gosh...how cute! I love those...you‘re very creative & imaginative! ❤️🥰 6y
