Secret Santa X-mas cards?

I was wondering if there would be interest in a Christmas-card swap. I've never hosted a swap before so maybe there is a vet who is willing to be my guide. Mary ;) will help me when I get stuck.

Everyone who wants to participate leaves a message with the usual info and send me a PM with there adress.
*Name
*Location
*Vet/Newbie
*willing to send/recieve from a Newbie
*International sending Yes/No

After the closing date I will send everybody a message with 2 or 3 adresses who you will send a card to. You can add a little Christmas themed craft, but the envelope can't be bigger then 21cm x 14,8cm (A5-size) to keep the costs low. The idea is to make a christmas tree decoration.

Sign up closes: 25th October (UTC +1)
Send out date: 15th November, but earlier is always possible

The 26th I'll PM everybody the adresses they have to send there cards to.
How many cards does everyone wants to send 2,3 or 4? I think more cards will be to expensive.

If you have a suggestion for this swap please tell me!

Much Love!
Dragonfly

Thanks for all the positive response :-D
I'll edit the original message and set a sign up date. Is 22 days enough time to make cards and little crafts? The last day for sign up will be the 25th of October then.

I would like to only receive two partners, if possible. If not possible, I can't commit to the swap. I love making cards and things, but I hate being late on swaps.
