This swap is for Mexico in jar. A whimsy jar. Please use at least a 6 inch tall jar.Mason jars work great. I like the 16 oz mason jars. It can be glass or plastic. Fill it up with Mexican themed goodies. Could be charms, loteria cards, stickers, buttons, ribbons, pens, glitter, Mexican candies, tags, threads, twill, stamps, Day Of The Dead items, fabric, stationary, Frida Kahlo things. Anything that screams Viva Mexico! This is not profile specific . Go crazy, have fun! Decorate your jar and pack it nicely with a note. This will be international because it shouldn't weight that much. Sorry, no newbies. Must have 10 ratings and be at a 5.0 to join. If all of your ratings are e-mail ratings, they don't count. If you have 9 ratings and you join, I won't kick you out. Just message me 1st. No flakers.

This looks like so much fun...I'm in tons of swaps now...let me bang them out and sign up closer to the date!

We'd be glad to have you! I've been shopping all weekend for this one. I'm EXCITED!

Yeah it sounds heck of fun, unfortunately I have no Mexican stuff, and I also dont think I can get any:(

CraftySenorita 03/24/2009 #

awww. It can be anything from skulls to handmade skull felties, stickers, red, white and green thread. You kinda have to be creative with this one. Do you have a Mexican grocery close to you? They have Mexican candies and usually Loteria there.

Oh please do this again! I just sent my first 2 ATC's today--boohoo, still too knew. I love Mexican folk art--this is awesome.

I'm totally jazzed and hoping this swap comes off. I live in a low-income area currently where I am kind of the token white woman. The little grocery store I frequent often probably has at least some of the items I'm thinking of for this, my first whimsy jar. Come on people, please sign up.

I'd love to join this swap, but there's a lack of Mexican stuff here in Berlin and I'm afraid of the amount of time it would take to ship something overseas. Great swap though! Viva México!

However, I would try to join if the jar size were smaller...is 16 oz the size of a mayonaisse jar?

Tunamarie 03/28/2009 #

My vote would be to go ahead and do just the folks we have. We will each get a jar...same as if there were more folks!

CraftySenorita 03/28/2009 #

A mayo jar that's 16 oz. would be fine.

  • Tunamarie, we'll just do the swap with the people we have. Another reason is I myself really want to do this swap and I've already been shopping shopping shopping. Good luck girls!

Hi again, sorry to be a bother :o( but about how many inches tall should the jar size be? Everything in Europe is in grams and converting this isn't helping much, thanks :o)

CraftySenorita 03/29/2009 #

Okay I found this site:

http://www.ez-calculators.com/measurement-conversion-calculator.htm

According to the converter, 16 ounces=457 grams. It doesn't have to be exactly 16 ounces. It can be a little more or less. Hope this helps!

I joined a couple of days ago, and I'm glad you're going ahead with the swap, because we live in Texas, 3 hours from the Mexican Border- I've already been shopping :)

CraftySenorita 03/30/2009 #

Cool Lishmo. The person you get will be lucky! Thanks for joining.

happy swapping peeps!!!

LittleCakes 03/31/2009 #

I am so excited to participate! It could be a hunt in my area...no little Mexico... little El Salvador...but I will make sure it will delight!

CraftySenorita 04/ 1/2009 #

You should definitely be able to find some stuff in Little Salvador. Happy hunting.
