Description:

For this swap you will make one gift worthy project for your partner made with blue or light blue and brown. Can be a tote, purse, scarf, jewelry, hat, whatever as long as it is handmade.

Sometimes it is hard to put a value on somethings. PLEASE keep in mind what you are about to receive and what you are sending. You want to send an item that can be considered a $12 to $17 valued item. So sending ATCs is fine but please send more than 1 same with the matchboxes, it is fine to send those but send more than 1 and pack them. Just keep in mind the value of what you are sending especially compared to what you are asking for. Any questions please let me know.

Remember to read your partners profile to ensure you know all allergies.

Make a list below of 7 to 10 things you would like to receive.

Also, please remember that some of us flourish in some areas and not in others, so try to keep our lists a good range of items so that way we all have something to chose.

I have kept this US Only for now but will do another one towards the summer time for international.

please make sure we mail everything by the send date and if you need more time please let your partner know.

Make sure the item you send is an item you would want to receive and it is a good quality item. There is no value limit. I leave that up to your creator.

I will try to angel or if anyone would like to volunteer to angel please let me know.

I have given you plenty of time to complete an item.

Have fun and Happy Swapping!!

This is great!! I just finished decorating my new son's nursery in a blue and brown polka dot/ turtle theme (pic here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2014470&id=1095002666&l=9cbd7 ) So anything for a baby or nursery, stuffies, animals, wall art etc. Or for me, as I like the color combo so much too :-) Bag, apron, note cards, jewelry (no earings)

ladydy5 02/22/2009 #

How about an earlier send date?

Zipp0099 02/23/2009 #

Ladydy5- I thought a month to complete the project(s) was a good time line exspecially if they are being knitted or crocheted, etc. Of course you are welcome to mail it out as soon as you can. I assure you the time will go by fast. Plus changing it now with others signed up for the swap wouldnt be right.

LINDA50 02/23/2009 #

I would love a totebag, apron, set of note cards, whimsey jar, knitted/crocheted slippers or soft fuzzy socks shoe size 7, journal, or anything you do best!

dmarie 02/24/2009 #

I cannot crochet or knit -so i cannot give these items.... As for myself I would prefer not to get ATC, bookmarks, or matchbox or notecards/postcards... in this swap...I would sign up for these I do like stuffies,journals, whimsy jar, sewn items(purse etc)

CraftyGardenerTN 02/24/2009 #

Prefer: tote, purse, very long scarf with fringe, I make my own jewelry but still like seeing what others do so bracelet (8in.), necklace (between 18in and 22in), please no stretchy necklaces, stuffies, whimsy jar (check out profile), altered or handbound journal, a nice envie filled with craft supplies pertaining to my profile. All of the above pertaining to my profile would be great. Also profile surprises are great too! Not trying to be picky at all. I always feel that the more ideas given the easier it is for your partner ;)

Please no ATC's, Matchboxes, Notecards, Bookmarks. I prefer a value be put on swaps as one person may send $5 worth and another $20 worth. I think something worth at least $15 is a good idea. I mean handmade scarves and purses and worth much more than that! I will be sending out at the very least $15-$20 worth.

Zipp0099 02/24/2009 #

That is very true about the value. I didnt add a value because I wasnt thinking sometimes when we make something it is hard to put a value on it. I will stress a value in the description and after doing so of course if someone wants to drop they can. I mean if I sent an ATC to someone who sent me a small quilt then I would feel like I didnt send enough so I see your point. I will add.

pokethepenguin64 02/24/2009 #

Prefer: tote/purse, altered book, altered box, french memo board, paintings, pillows/cases,earrings, or what you do best. (I really like vintage European inspired jewelry, things with the Eiffel Tower or other buildings/cities on them, vintage swirl and script patterns and things with bird silhouettes).

Please no ATCs, Bookmarks, Notecards...I just don't really have a use for them at the moment.

medoran 02/24/2009 #

Partner - I am easy. Please do what you do best - read my bio - hopefully it will give you some inspiration - see what you think if you have any questions or can't decide please contact me and I will just let you know the direction to go. Thanks in advance, this sounds great!

stacirose 02/26/2009 #

Please take a look at my profile! I'm not into ATC's, bookmarks, matchboxes or dotees, but I really enjoy most art! If you're not sure, feel free to ask - no problem. :)

I do ask for no Christian themed items and please be sensitive to the fact that I am a vegetarian. Thanks VERY much!

I am REALLY excited to see the creations! :D Thank you in advance!!!

ladydy5 02/28/2009 #

If it is handmade I could not put a value on it of $5.00 or $15.00 I just like the endeavor to do it price tag.

ladydy5 04/24/2009 #

Well, I got flaked on.
