Description:

It won't be long before Fall settles in, with chilly days and spooky nights leading up to Halloween.

In this swap we will either create or alter a spooky Halloween themed drawstring pouch, at least 6inx4in in size or larger, to hold our 5 "potions" and 2 yummy treats. Along with this, write a "spell" which will be a Halloween poem that you can fold up and put into a Halloween card for your partner. Details are below. :)

POTIONS- inside the pouch you will place 5 yummy "potions" such as tea, coffee, instant cocoa, instant cider, Crystal Light packets, etc. You MUST send a variety, so send at least 3 different drink types in the pouch, for example: 1 cocoa, 1 coffee, and 3 teas would include 3 different drinks types and still include 5 potions for us to sip and enjoy. :) (Please put naked teas or unwrapped tea bags in sealed plastic baggies before putting them in the pouch so they stay fresh and sanitary.)

TREATS - you will also put in two edible treats inside your pouch. Candy, tea biscuits, biscotti, etc. If treats are really small (like mini candies) send at least three. (Treats must be manufacturer sealed.)

SPELL Include a 1 page long "spell" which will just be a lovely Halloween poem that your partner can read while enjoying the contents of their Pouch of Potions. In my mind I am thinking that this can be a "spell" in poem form just to wish your partner a Happy Halloween. However, if you are a bit stumped in how to make it a page long, you may include other Halloween poem(s)/spell(s) as long as you include the original author's name. You can write or type it, then fold it and place it inside a Halloween card so you can wish your partner a Happy Halloween!

Overview: 1 handmade or altered Halloween themed drawstring pouch size 6inx4in or larger, 5 drinks/potions, 2 treats, 1 page long Halloween poem folded and placed inside 1 Halloween card.

Sender's choice, but please check your partner's profile for allergies!

Please have at least 15 type 3 RATED swaps, no recent or unexplained 1's or 3's, no newbies this time. I have the right to ban anyone from the swap that seems suspicious.

Hope everyone enjoys this swap and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

So would have loved to do this but Im away during most of the time. If anyone wants to do another last minute one contact me after Oct 15th. You have great ideas ;)

Are we supposed to create the spell or can we find a poem or spell online? I can write a short poem, but a page long might not be possible (for me). Been awhile since creative writing class - ha ha.

Sorry I haven't responded! I'm working six days a week atm, and haven't looked at this swap in a few days! lol

@nancylee Would love to do a private swap with you around Oct 15th if you want. :) Thanks for the compliment, I love coming up with new and interesting swaps.

@ChinaCat I would say if you are having trouble coming up with a "spell" which to me in my mind I was thinking of creating a "spell" in poem form mostly to wish your partner a Happy Halloween. However, I can edit the swap so that if you are a bit stumped in making it at least a page, then you can include Halloween poem(s) instead as long as you include the original author's name. :)
