Handmade bookmark swap

Watching for now. 2 things:

1: Does collageart count as handmade or must is be drawn or painted?

2: A 4.6 rating cut-off is really low. A person can have many 1 and 3 ratings and still manage a 4.6 avarege. You want to consider raising that a bit to make people more comfortable signing up for this. I know this is your swap and therefore your choice, so this is just a suggestion :-)

That should have read you may want to consider and not you want to consider like it is some kind of order ;-)

hello @Morgaine thank you for the comments. Collageart is fine!

And I will change the 4.6 to a 4.9 :D

How about beaded book marks

Can it be crocheted? I saw some really cute ones on Pinterest and wanted to try.

@sherig47 @BunnyMama beaded and crocheted is allowed!!

Newbies...? :)

Yes @PonPonMuffin newbies are welcome

I am new to swapbot and just finished my first one (a card swap). I am an avid reader, so would love to join in on this one, if you would allow me to take part.

Hola, I do stamping/cardmaking and paper crafts can this be a hand made paper bookmark , multiple layers with stamped images etc?

@GiddyMichelle you are welcome to join!

@SexySprite you are free to use any kind of crafting, as long as its handmade!

I am a newbie and am really looking forward to this swap! Thanks for including newbies! :)

Thank U

Just watching for now because I'm new here and not sure quite what all the lingo means. I haven't written my profile yet, but would I be eligible to do this swap once I have? Sorry if this is an annoying qu and there's an obvious way for me to find out...

Love Katie x

P.s. Great idea for a swap!

@ChronicKatie You can join once you have filled your profile. That is one of the requirements. :)

Can it be a picture that is personally taken and turned into a book mark???

@halfpintspec85 yes offcourse!

dimensions of the bookmark? what size should it be...?

I am so excited to make my bookmark...thanks for approving me!

@marchy you can just take a regular one as an example. You can make it slightly bigger or smaller if you like. As long as it can be used comfortly in any book. I can give you dimensions; i think about 5 x 20 cm. (1.97 x 7.87 inches).

@GiddyMichelle you are welcome :)

Thanks found some pretty beaded ones with ribbon.

is there a place to post pic's of what we received?

@deonnariegler i think i might have to open a facebook account for all my swaps where i can add pictures

Flickr is a good place to post our pictures if everyone has it; easy to join-free. I just learned that photos in Flickr can be posted on your profile in SB! Thanks RyeRye for that knowledge!

Hello Mariskasl, I am not new to swapbot but have been off of here for a while so I would like to fully understand about this book mark I really want to join. Do they have to be a paper craft. I work with metal or iron bits to create a book mark. Is that acceptable. I know there was nothing mentioned in the description but most people make paper ones, I just want to be sure it's alright? THank you Seren.

@Serenity metal or iron bits are perfectly fine! As long as it's handmade.

Can't wait to swap!

I have started a cross stitch one will I need to attach it to card or will it be ok on it's own? Thanks in advance :-)

@elleto if it can be used as a bookmark it will be fine

@Mariskasi thank you :-)

Um just curious, is this a sender's choice? Because I havent got an assigned partner >. .< Sorry for asking....

hey what date are the partners assigned?

@walkaboutgypsy I will assign them just now. Here, in Europe it is already march 1st, but the usa is behind about 7 hours so i just got the assign button to click on.

@newsong it is sender's choice, you will get your partner soon, after i go through al the participants.

Can't believe it8 I'm the first one to send.... wow! (this has never happened before :-) )

@Bluegirl you're fast :)

I'm so excited to make my bookmarks! :) Thanks for hosting this one! My partner may become overwhelmed with an envelope full of bookmarks!

Thank You!!! =)

worked on my bookmark this evening...should be sent out soon :)

@GiddyMichelle I am working on it right now!! Saw somw extra's in a shop today that was perfect for this swap!! :D

Well, had a complete do-over after the first one went awry, but I'm very happy with version 2. Putting in the post box now; will go out in tomorrow's mail!

Well, thank goodness i remembered to click that I sent the bookmark! I sent it yesterday, but closed it off today...hope my partner likes it :)

Sent last night but haven't been able to get to a computer until this morning to click that I sent it... I too did one and then changed my mind... lol

I sent mine on time but forgot to hit the send button. Hope it arrives soon

I rated my partner but it didn't post...I hope it does now...I loved the beautiful book marks made!
