Thank You Samantha!!!!

The perfect cute, not scary zombie! He's adorable in a zombie sort of way! Seriously, he's so cute!

So many amazing goodies in this package! Socks, lights, stickers, pen, the cutest Halloween dog towel, a ghost dog(looks like my grand pup,) stuffed pumpkins, skull washi tape. So many goodies and they were all so beautifully wrapped. Such a fabulous package and I'm finding creative uses for all of the packaging too. I'm saving and reusing the packaging bits and baubles too.

Linus was one of the characters I chose and I mentioned that a zombie pumpkin would be cool. A zombie pumpkin arrived with Linus and it's amazing! I love it! Thank you!!!!

The skeleton cookie is amazing and the leg bones were delicious! Such an amazing treat! Thank you Samantha, for taking the time to create such a tremendous package for me. I love everything!
 

Thank You Stacey

 Oh my goodness …. My package was the most amazing combination of talent, cuteness, creativity and generosity!!!

Thank you SO much Stacey😊

As a cookie decorator, myself, although no where near as talented as Stacey, this skelly cookie BLEW ME AWAY!!!

That little round zombie head with all his scars and critter friends … oh my heart ❤️

All of the goodies that filled the box - dish towels, the cutest ghost garland, pumpkins, candy, fabric, ribbon …. I was so thoroughly spoiled!!

Thank you so much Stacey for such a wonderful swap package …. You sure made my day.

Thank you Shelley!

 Schroeder arrived today!!! He is so cute and came with some cute goodies.   I think he is AWESOME!  Thanks Shelley!

Thank Jill!!

This is Samantha using my mom's (Stacey's) account!

Thank you so much for my cute Snoopy zombie!! I love that you dried the goose gourd and made it look like Snoopy! I also love the bag, the bead garland, and  witch hat you made! The spider web journal and book mark are the coolest!!

I already have everything displayed in my room and my Zombie will sit on the shelf with all our other zombies!

Thanks again for everything!!💕

-Samantha

 

Thank you Kerry!

 I am absolutely in love with my new zombie Linus!! He is cute yet creepy in such a good way!

I also received some great news goodies including an awesome bag that I am looking forward to taking to the farmer's markets this fall! I am already using the towel and pumpkin sponge!

I love everything! Thank you Kerry!!

(I am so sorry for not posting sooner!! I have had him for a while 😁)

Thank you Debbie!

I love our Zombie Swap!  Look at this wonderfully, creepy Lucy!

My two year old grandson was with me when I opened my package.

His face was priceless when he looked at Zombie Lucy!

I really enjoyed this theme and can' t wait to see everyone's zombie!

Thank you Debbie for such a fun package!  Now I need it to cool down

enough to put on Halloween socks!  It is still in the 90's this week. 

Debbie's dolls are amazing . . . and I always love their shoes!

I would assume Charlie Brown would take one look

at this Lucy and for once - not try to kick the ball.

Thanks again Debbie!  A big thank you to Val for continuing to 

organize this swap!  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

YARNIGRAS 2025 ANNUAL ZOMBIE DOLL SWAP !

                                                   

    

Okay everyone!  I've been wanting to do this swap for awhile  The Great Pumpkin is one of my all time favorite kiddie movies and I think all those big headed kids would make awesome zombies!  

So our theme is  "ZOMBIES ATTACK CHARLIE BROWN AND THE GANG!"

Here is what we are swapping: 

1.)You will create one Charlie Brown and the Gang themed zombie doll from your partner's choice list and then add 3 tuck ins (goodies) to round out the package.  

2.)The tuck ins can be handmade, purchased, thrifted, re-gifted, etc. as long as they are clean and undamaged. 

*Please check out the answers to your partner's list to help you out before getting the tuck ins!

3.)The doll needs to be handmade and at LEAST 6 inches in height/length.   I have approved premade blank doll forms which are available to use as a base but you must hand make all the details and elements that make it into a zombie.

This is a USA swap only.
The sign up by date is August 8th so I can announce partners before the following weekend.  (I retain the right to close the swap early if I choose so please don't wait to join up.)

Ship date is September 27th so the dolls can arrive to their new homes in time for people to put out their Halloween decorations!  Feel free to ship earlier but PLEASE ship no later than 9/27/25.

Please note if an "angel" swap is needed for any reason other than crisis, that swapper will not be invited back.  An "angel" is someone other than the original partner who graciously steps in to fulfill the swap. 

New request:  Please do not procrastinate on making the doll.  We had SEVERAL late shippers last year and it made people worry about getting them in time to decorate.   I am announcing it a week earlier than usual to give you all more time.

If you want to join, leave a comment here and then email me at valpowery(at) yahoo(dot)com with the answers to these questions:

1. Name and address. Include phone if you would like text updates. (recommended)

2. List of 3 favorite characters for your partner to choose 1 character from.   

3. Choose either "creepy" or "cute" style.  

4. Small list of things you collect for Halloween and/or Fall.

5. Colors you decorate with for Halloween and/or Fall.

Please note:

My swaps are made to encourage creativity, not bust the bank.  That being said, your package should equate to a minimum of $30.00 before shipping.  

Please create a zombie doll that you feel certain your partner will adore and wrap it up in tissue. 

Also, be careful when wrapping items for shipping so they don't get damaged.  No one wants a busted up Zombie package. 
When shipping, I suggest using tracking and make note of the date mailed.  If the doll does not arrive within 10 business days of shipping, you will be responsible for making and sending a NEW zombie doll package.  

As always, thanks for participating and feel free to use the badge to help spread the word!
