Description:

This is the international version of this swap - thank you to @missstamper for letting me run it. I have used much the same description, with only a couple of small changes to make it international friendly.

For this swap you will make 3 handcrafted presents for your partner.

All of the presents need to be inspired by the Christmas season. This is NOT an ornament swap, so please don’t send more than one ornament. There are so many other things to make: holiday journals, jewellery, stationary sets, crocheted dishcloth sets, hand-carved stamp sets, matchboxes (overflowing with goodies), ceramics, polymer clay creations, tote bags, zipper bags, stuffies, dolls, handmade cards (4 would equal 1 item). The ideas are endless. This swap is Sender's Choice.

Wrap the items nicely so they will look great under the tree!

Quality crafting only - NO flimsy items thrown together at the last minute! Make things that you would love to receive and that you are proud to send. There is plenty of time to craft between the sign-up and the send by date.

Though it is hard to set a value on handmade items, try to keep it at items you could sell at a craft fair or on Etsy for a total of at least £9 (€11 or $15US). This isn't as high a price as it sounds, because you are crafting the items, not purchasing them at retail.

Guidelines: Must have been rated for 25 Type 3 swaps, 4.95 rating or higher, all unresolved 1's or 3's will be closely reviewed. Known non-raters may also be banned. I will ban anyone that I feel might not be able to fulfill the swap requirements. I may also ban for other reasons at my discretion, and I will be checking all profiles carefully.

Make sure your profile is WELL filled out. Just in case your partner wants to send a profile based item.

(I would also like to acknowledge that this swap was inspired by the Holly Jolly Handmade Christmas swap hosted by @thriftymermaid )
