Are these to be profile-specific? For example, I don't wear earrings, so it would be sad if I got three pairs of earrings.

Also, can they all three be the same thing? Or must they be different things?

Thanks! Looks like a fun swap, I just need more info. :)

@user2637 - Thank you for asking - the swap is preferably profile based and the 3 things must be different (i think i mentioned 3 different things in description sorry if it isnt clear enough) . For example 1 pair of earrings, 1 bracelet, 1 bookmark but if your swap partner doesn't wear earrings don't send earrings. You can ONLY send the same 3 things if your swap partner has written on her wishlish that she really likes something in particular. Hope this helps to you & everyone who has joined/is thinking of joining this swap :)

I like the idea of this swap, but I think, a week is not enough for a profile based handmade swap. These things do take time and thought and I would feel rushed with that little time. I'm watching, but am not sure whether I should join. Also, could you specify a value? For example I'm doing mostly paper crafts, but if someone knits or crochets something and makes jewellery, they would probably be disappointed if they received back only papery items. Sorry about the concerns, I just wanted to mention them. :)

This sounds like Fun... I have ideas already on what to make but yes a little more Time would be nice...I work full time and wouldn't have time to get them done and to the Post Office with my work hours.....

I've love to do this, but there's no way I could get it done in a week. If you hos this kind of swap again, could you maybe give it 2 weeks sending time?

thedreamer 03/15/2013 #

@smadronia @Blueberrylady @Fever I have just extended the sending time for another week. If anyone needs more time please let me know. :)

Due to the cost of shipping, would you mind if I hosted a regional swap for the US like this? I would give you full credit.

wanderfrolics 03/21/2013 #

I have to agree with Fever - Could we maybe set a monetary value limit or something, please? Don't want to make something things which are of different value to what they made.

thedreamer 03/22/2013 #

@Magena22 - yes you can host it.

@wanderfrolics the problem would be that people give a different price value to their items, for example ive seen earrings sold at $5 and the same earrings sold $15 because the person who made them decided to price them like that. That being said, I will set an "average price". Items should cost around not more than $10-$12 . I'll edit the swap.
