Description:

Put together a bunch of odds and ends from your stash of craft items. Could be scraps, or new supplies, but it has to be useful amounts of stuff. Write your name and address on a gallon-size zip-top baggie (THE NAME AND ADDRESS ON THE BAGGIE IS VERY IMPORTANT!). Put your assortment of craft supplies into the zip-top and mail it to your partner.

When you receive the zip-top baggie of supplies that will be sent to you, you have to make something for the person who sent it to you out of the stuff they sent.

PLEASE NO ATC's FOR THIS ONE. Hand-made cards or bookmarks or other paper crafts are okay, though.

You can add more of your own supplies if you want to but you have to use more than one of the items you receive.

Mail your lovely creation back to the address on the baggie and be sure to return any un-used supplies. To get hearts, please include a nice "getting to know me" type note that describes how you made what you are sending, and a general note about the crafts you prefer to make.

Sorry, USA only cuz we are mailing things two times. Keep in mind we are paying double postage on this one (once to send your stuff, and then more to send back your hand-made item).

Try to put some effort into this. The handmade items should be recognizeable....I mean, it should be obvious what it is and what it is used for. Don't just glue random things together or whatever, make something lovely. Finished crafty items need to be mailed back by the deadline. No need to wait to see your partners' profile before you put together your baggie of stuff, because you are sending supplies to make something that YOU will like. Drop your baggie of stuff in the mail as soon as partners are assigned. If you receive a bag of odd stuff and you are completely stumped about what to make with it, send a message to the person who sent it and get some ideas.

Finished projects need to be sent back to the address on the baggie by October 1st.No Newbies, no flakers. This swap will take some effort and will happen over a lot of time. I will check profiles and ban dodgy people
