I am planning way ahead for a Cookie Swap in November - Planning for the first weekend on Nov - Which do you think is better Saturday or Sunday aftrenoon???
 
I am having a Christmas Open House the first weekend in Novemeber and I went with the Saturday because I have had better luck with shows on Saturday afternoons. I think more people consider it their fun day... Just my opinion though.
 
I say Sunday afternoon...only cuz that still leaves them Saturday to finish up making the cookies they will bring to the swap!

I don't normally do shows on Sundays, but I would probably consider it for something like that!
 
I am doing mine on a Friday night. Going to advertise as a Christmas Cookie Swap/Girls Night Out. I had it on Friday night last year and it turned out great.
 
are there any outlines or anything on how to do a cookie swap for pampered chef? anyone have an yideas? i would love to do one, my husband will be deployed, so nothing else better to do than plan PC stuff LOL

Do you make invites yourself or anyone use Nancy's - I mean I have to order now or it will be too late
 
I make mine myself. I have a friend that sells Stampin' Up and I love to make cards, so I make up my own. Takes awhile but I normally start them in Sept. and will have them done in time for my shows.

I have never done it before - My director has come quick and easy gift ideas that she puts together for home made holiday gifts she does as a demo.

If people want to participate in the Swap then the bring 2 1/2 dozen cookies - 1/2 dozen to share (eat at show) and 2 dozen to swap

Preferable everyone brings a recipe that can be scanned or copied and sent to all participants - I may put all of them on my website!
 
I have participate in a cookie swap for years (non PC) and it is always very successful and always on a Sunday afternoon. The coordinator makes it clear that cookies should be made a day ahead of time so they have time to cool/set, etc. and be better able to hold up to the packing that goes into getting them into bowls and such. So...ditto above, they need the Saturday to cook!

How many cookies does your swap do? I am thinking 5 dozen or so?
 
I say Sunday as well!

And, this sounds like a GREAT idea!! I am thinking about doing one in early December... maybe a Christmas one or something!
 
I say Sunday, or at least I would. People here like to shop on Saturdays, so they may not come if they want to start on Christmas shopping. Plus as someone else mentioned, it would give them Saturday to bake the cookies!
 
I would do Sunday afternoon as well.
 
I would do Sunday afternoon as well.
 
I would say Sunday because in November you may still have school football games on Saturdays.
