Description:

This swap is for people who enjoy receiving different handmade items. This swap is not for picky swappers since you don't know what you will be receiving.

We will be creating one handmade item for our partner. What to make? Well that's up to you. We each have our specialty and this will give a chance to make something special for our partner.

To keep things fair however, because craft sizes, values, and time investment vary, this will be for a smaller craft. Materials to make the craft should fall in the $3 to $5 price range and time invested should be between 2 to 4 hours. You can also make more than one thing to reach the minimums.

For inspiration look at your partners profile and find favorite colors, patterns, themes, etc. But since this is about sharing your craft this is not a profile based swap. (For example if some one says I hate the color orange try not to use orange. But if they say I hate crocheted items and that is your craft then go ahead and send out something crocheted.)

Here is a nonexclusive list of what you could send just to get you started with ideas:

*Art Dolls *Jewelry *Fabric Shopping Bag *Felted Items *Crocheted Stuffie *Candles/Soap *Knitted Dishrag

So who's in?
Established swappers with 4.9 or above ratings and at least 5 mailed package swaps (not letter, postcard, or e-mails). No recent no sends. I will check profiles carefully and reserve the right to ban as needed. I will either angel or find angels if needed.

This is what I am looking for on swap-bot. Something I can have on hand or make up with what I normally have in my stash.

Mine will ship tomorrow. I forgot to put something in it. I do so many things I can't remember them all.

Does anybody just do one thing? Not me.

I just got my package and it is awesome. People who do perfect work in small detail just amaze me at their patience. I can paint the side of a barn and it look's good with animals, objects whatever. But tiny work like I received, well I look like a pre-k kid doing it. Thanks to my partner for such wonderful items.
