Description:
Do you have a craft that you love to do? Something that you are still working the kinks out of? Maybe a craft that you haven't seen a swap for but you want to share? This could be the swap for you then! You will have one partner and you will send them one home made craft item. It could be anything, stuffies, sewing, knitting, crocheting -just about anything will work but try and send you partner something that they don't have listed on their profile as their favorite craft! I can't really put a dollar limit on this as the crafts are all hand-made but let's use some common sense - let's make a swap package that we would be happy to receive! This is all about the joy of making a craft you love and sharing it with someone who may never have seen whatever it is that you make before. On to the boring bit - -No recent ones or no sends (although you can email if there is a dispute about a rating you have ) You need to have a rating over 4.7 I'm opening this to newbies but you should have at least 2 package swaps under your belt. I am willing to angel but I'm really hoping this works out though - be kind I've never hosted before! If you flake on this swap, I WILL out you in the Swap-bot Flakers group and in the public forum - please don't make me do that. Here's hoping that everyone will love this!

This is really cool, but I don't know if I could make something as nice as I'd want to in less than a month, especially with life + other swaps going on.

I agree with mint condition. But I will watch for now!

mintconditioin and love2teach, you could go ahead and sign up and start making your item now. i saw that is said that you should try to send something that is not their favorite craft, but even if you did duplicate it with something that they already do, i'm sure your work would be much different from theirs. like for instance, jewelry, there are so many different jewelry designers out there that i bet we'd not have duplicates. or quilting, you could search online for unusual patterns for blocks and make a pillow or table runner, etc. from quilted pieces that you make. just a thought! hope you both join.

I'm sure there's tons of things that people could send me that I don't, can't or haven't done. I don't think there's much I could send that others haven't. I can do nice/beautiful of what I do do though.

Ah Kimpe your craft doesn't have to be something that no one has done - it just needs to be a craft that you love doing! Your beautiful work can be shared with someone who has never seen what YOU have done! I love making stuffies and I love making origami - I'm not the best crafter of either of those but I love doing them and I get better all the time.

Watching too. I know what craft I want to send, and it is actually something that not too many people do! :)
