This swap went well last year, so here it is again :)

Okay, all of my life I have been so envious of those crafty types who just can make beautiful objects from scratch. I have no creative ability whatsoever, but each summer I catch the craft bug. This swap for others like me - ones who suck at crafts but want to try their hand at the trade.

So here are the rules of the game:

*First of all, we all know that what you make may not be the most beautiful thing in the world, but darn it, you've poured your time and effort into it, and you want to share it with someone.

*You can make whatever you want. An ATC, a journal, a wallet, a shirt, socks, a house, you can knit something - whatever. If there's a craft you've always wanted to try, and never thought you'd be any good, here is your chance to try it out! If you need some ideas, sites like craftster.org and instructables.com give some good instructions and ideas. Along with your marvelous creation, please write a note explaining what you've made and why you made it.

*NO NEWBS ALLOWED. If you're new, and you really want to do this, message me, and we'll see what we can do.

*4.9 rating, no recent no sends. You must have at least 7 mail swaps under your belt. If you are just short of meeting this requirement, MESSAGE ME and we will work something out. I seriously mean that.

This swap is not meant for the artsy-fartsy types, but if you are blessed with talent, feel free to join. To the rest of us: Have fun! You might discover you have a hidden talent!

WoW -- this is a fantastic idea for a swap! I am trying to learn, but hesitant to join really crafty swaps for fear of letting someone down! Thanks for hosting this :o) xx
