Description:
I have seen several swalps out there lately that are profile surprises and you aren't suppose to send handmade items. Well, I've had enough of it. So for this swap it is to be HANDMADE ONLY!!! That's right. You will check out your partners profile and you will fill one of those small $4.95 flat rate boxes up with handmade items you have made for your partner based on their profile likes. So, obviously for this you will need to have a fully filled out profile with a section that states what kind of handmade items you like to receive. Some wonderful ideas: dish cloths potholders pillow cases coin purses pin cushions biscornus jewelry morsebags bookmarks scarves hats aprons ATCs Matchboxes Altered items handmade postcards stuffies dotties To Recap: Remember you are filling up a small flat rate box full of handmade items from your partners profile. So there should be no reason everyone shouldn't absolutely LOVE what they receive! Any questions feel free to ask away.

I LOVE this idea!! Thanks for setting it up for us!

This is a great idea...I'm wondering if there's a price on the items or just the shipping?

nope, it's hard to put a price on homemade items. So you need to have one of the actual small flat rate boxes that cost 4.95 to send. What you make is up to you, as long as it is something your partner likes!

its so crazy when swaps say "no handmade!" woo hoo for this swap! i'm watching & will most likely join!

A whole box of handmade goodies? Don't know if two weeks is long enough to crank 'em out! Watching.

I love this idea, I just dont know how to make enough things to fill a whole box. I'll start learning some new crafts for a second round.... I'd hate to send a box full of one or two things

I like this idea but I am afraid I am a slow crafter and would need more than 15 days to fill up a small flat rate box with handmade goodies. Awesome idea!

What an excellent swap idea! Like the others, I don't know if 2 weeks is enough time, could the date possibly be extended? That way there's time to figure out things from our partner's profile, purchase the materials (if necessary), find patterns, etc. I'd love to do this!

Are you going to do this again next month? I can't join this month.

I just pickup one of the flat rate boxes..$4.95 and they are about the size of a VCR tape.. so that will be a nice size.
