Date items must be sent by:March 5, 2011
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Alright, I have been saying for a while that I would be doing this so here goes. We had alot of fun the first time around. The point of this swap is to have the opportunity to try a new craft with people who are also trying something new, therefore hopefully you can feel comfortable trying something new. It can be anything you want to try. I received a beautiful matchbox filled with little goodies in Round 1. Just to clarify the requirement is ONE item, of any kind that you have not made and would like to try out or are new to making and would like more practice. If you are making something small and would like to make more than 1, or want to try 2 small things that is fine but not mandatory and please don't do that just for hearts.

Newbies are accepted with a well filled out profile. Ratings requirement is 4.8 . Anyone I feel wary about will be dropped. Any questions? pm me!

I am so glad to see so much interest and all of our participants look like great swappers. Be assured that I am keeping an eye on everyone and will not hesitate to drop people who become flakers!! Any questions??

hi,i finding it all very complicated i do not know where i send swaps to

Megbomb 11/ 3/2010 #

once partners are assigned in a swap you will receive an email. click on the link in the email which will take you to this, the swap page. in the upper right hand corner click on "see the partner you send to" a box will pop up with the name and address. It is pretty easy, really.

I'm so sorry @walkinintheway I've had an unexpected HUGE vet bill come up and will have to drop. I have to save as much money as possible now :( :(

maisymoo 11/10/2010 #

great idea walkinintheway! ive been wanting to have a go at matchbox/whimsey jars-so this is just perfect :)

maisymoo 11/10/2010 #

oh no just realised its usa only :(

halfdeserted 11/26/2010 #

LOVE this idea! I'm in!

tinkabelle402 12/24/2010 #

Can't wait to do this swap!! I lo e trying new things!!!

Megbomb 12/28/2010 #

Because of personal computer issues and having just moved, I amended the sign up and send by dates by a month.

I got my first sewing machine in hopes to make a really cool modern quilt, and a bed for my dog... and pajama pants for my boyfriend... and a laptop bag...

I got lots of cute fabric but need to get good at it, so this is so perfect!

lamzeydievey 01/ 3/2011 #

I am going to practice making buttonholes. One of you will probably be my guinea pig.

Cyndimom 01/ 7/2011 #

I have wanted to try the whimsey jars, but a smaller jar to try it out or the zentangle

aykra 01/11/2011 #

Is it alright if I try making an ATC? I've been wanting to try one but haven't had the courage to try. Also, could someone tell me what whimsey jars are? Thank you!

Megbomb 01/18/2011 #

ATCs are fine, i did a few for my partner last round. do a search for whimsy or whimsey jars on flickr.com for examples

Ashby 01/29/2011 #

I`m looking forward to make my first mini-quilt for whoever is my partner.

MrsTinyDuckie 01/30/2011 #

I'm so excited about this. There are a handful of new things that I've wanted to try. Is there a nervous newbies group? If not, I'd love to see one.

tcornell 01/31/2011 #

I am so excited- I've yet to do my first swap, and to do something new... How fun!

AngelKay 01/31/2011 #

I'm going to try to make a "small" journal! I really hope my partner likes it!

karenchristine13 01/31/2011 #

I'm either going to make a matchbox type book or a stuffie or a pincushion in a teacup, I;ve always wanted to make a pincusion or a stuffie. I LOVE this swap idea.

KimberlyJDC 01/31/2011 #

I've always wanted to try paper quilling so this will be fun! (I will probably do it on an ATC because it's small)

Kraftylady777 02/ 2/2011 #

I love this idea, too, and thank you for giving plenty of time to make a new craft...Just a quick question: I want to try "small" papercraft items like SB, FB, twinchies, etc. How many items should I send since these are small things? I don't want my partner disappointed. Thanks

QuackQuack 02/ 3/2011 #

Walkin' - Can you assign the partners please:)

Doyle 02/ 3/2011 #

i dont get it, she's been online since the sign-up cut-off but still has not assigned partners....

Megbomb 02/ 3/2011 #

look everybody, i am very sorry i am a few days behind but i have 7 days after the cut off to look through and make sure i dont have any flakers signed up.

AngelKay 02/ 3/2011 #

im going to go ahead and drop... just dont want to end with a flaker for my partner. thanks @walkintheway for going through and checking profiles. maybe next time.

Megbomb 02/ 3/2011 #

not sure why you would say thanks for checking profiles in the same breath as your dropping because you dont want to end up with a flaker....

Megbomb 02/ 3/2011 #

oh and if anyone is flaked on please let me know, I will make sure everyone is angeled!!!

Kraftylady777 02/ 3/2011 #

Hey everyone, if partners are assigned in a day or two, we still have plenty of time to send out our swap, right? This is supposed to be fun, not stressful.....Just my thoughts......

Megbomb 02/ 5/2011 #

i have added an extra week to have this sent out.

shorterthanu44 03/30/2011 #

Still haven't received mine :(

darkshines 07/19/2011 #
