How about a swap to start the new year off right??
Personally, I had a lot of fun with this last year and I thought it was a great success. To refresh your memory, the swap goes like this; up to 10 builders pick 2 categories from the list and build 11 (could be less if we don't get 10 sign ups) identical plugs for each selected category (up to 22 total). Each builder keeps 1 of each, sends the remaining lot to me and I will split them up and send them out to other builders. The end result is 20 unique custom plugs for each builder. The 11th set will be given to JohnR, he may do with them what he wishes... (Last year he gave them to needy children

).
