I have so wanted to do a Whimsey Jar but the thought of postage overseas - ewwww. So I want to try hosting one for Aussies.

The idea of a Whimsey Jar is to fill a jar with as many little treasures as you can that your partner will enjoy.

So, you are going to create a Whimsey Jar for your partner. Now the contents don't have to be a particular colour, but you are to decorate the jar and lid in the colour/s that your partner has listed here.

Directions - Take a decent sized glass or plastic jar - I'm thinking large jam jar size. It can be a recycled CLEAN jar or maybe you can buy a new one. Lots of places have those screw top ones with the nice wide top. Decorate the lid and the outside of the jar. You MUST decorate both!

Now you fill the jar with goodies. This is NOT profile based, but please check out your partners profile and if they hate buttons (an example only cos who could hate buttons lol) - then don't send buttons!! And of course check for allergies. Please try and include a lot of variety!!

A few ideas: - stickers - ribbons - small rubber stamps - buttons - eyelets - brads - fat quarters - jewelry findings - hair pieces - printed paper images

Guidelines: * No 1's in the last 3 months * No 3's in the last 6 months * Must have completed no less than 15 Type 3 Craft swaps and have been rated for them. I will check profiles.

I really hope we can have some fun with this. I'm also leaving a fair while til send date, so you will have plenty of time!

How do you know what colour to do the jar? Is it based on your partners profile listed favourite colour? Or is it senders choice?
