Description:

To show support to the crafty people selling their work on Etsy (and similar sites), we will put together packages for each of our partners that conist of handmade items.

Guidelines:

-You will spend roughly $10 on handmade gifts which you have purchased for your partner. It may be several small items or one expensive item--whichever you prefer.

-The items should be somewhat tailored to your partner's profile.

-Please include a note that indicates where each item was purchased so that your partner may consider purchasing from that artist in the future.

-In addition to the purchased items, you will include one item created for your partner by you. This can be anything from personalized stationary to a knitted scarf to ATCs that match your partner's interests. If the item you make is a mix CD, please include a track listing. Please be sure to indicate which item you created.

-Feel free to contact your partner if you need suggestions, or if you are concerned that the item you are creating for him/her may not be suitable. If there is a particular item that you prefer not to receive (for example, if you do not collect ATCs or prefer not to receive food in the mail), please note that it the comments below. Please only list one or two items.

You will have only one partner for this swap, and the deadline will be set fairly far away so you have plenty of time to create a thoughtful package.

This swap is U.S. only due to postage costs. You must have a rating of at least 4.8 to participate. No newbies.

This is a GREAT swap idea! There are so many fabulous artists on Etsy!

If you look on Ebay, (just FYI), search for tags like WWAO, TOA, BHV, A4A or EBSQ, sometimes OOAK, or just shop in Art/Self-Representing section. Be careful about doing a search on Ebay for 'handmade' - it can be handmade in a sweat shop. :P

thanks for the tip!

if we purchase off etsy, can we have the seller ship the package directly to our recipient?

If you prefer to, then go right ahead. Please ask the seller to include a note explaining which swap it's for and who it's from, though :)
