It's Time to SWAP!

It is time for a SWAP, but a new kind of SWAP!
Rather than putting together a package and exchanging it with your partner, this type of swap is much easier. Thanks to a fellow blog reader the idea for a Junior League cookbook swap dawned on us!
So many of us are in Junior League or have friends or family that are so why not exchange cookbooks? The Junior League cookbooks have some of the best recipes there are. So, how fabulous would it be to add a cookbook from another league to your collection?!
Now, you do NOT have to be in JL to enter this swap, you simply have to be willing to purchase your local JL cookbook (or one from your closet JL as some of you live in smaller towns) and be willing to send it to your partner. In return she will send you her league's cookbook and you can enjoy recipes from another city and/or state!
To enter this swap you must leave a comment with your email on this post. All comments must be left by 12pm Friday, November 13th, 2009 (the date is sure to bring us luck, don't you think?!). All books must be mailed by November 30th, 2009 so that they can be enjoyed during holiday cooking or maybe even gifting!
Enjoy and let's all get ready to put some good food on the table!
