2007 Crafters Advent Swap

Love this idea. Anyone doing a Christmas pressie swap? I would host one but away 19th November to 3rd Dec and would not beable to oversea it. Let me know if ones available to join at anytime.

Donna

Absolutely love this idea! Signing up!

I did think about hosting a Christmas Stocking Swap, anyone interested, I'll start a thread on the flickr group page

I am going to join but can you translate to USA currency please. I think you are talking pounds right?

Current rates (http://www.x-rates.com/) are somewhere around $2 for every pound. (If this is incorrect, someone please chime in here.) So, this could cost you $60. Wowsers...

Please remember that alot, upto half can be handmade etc The package must be worth the £30 so $60ish USD. ie a handmade felt flower brooch for example would be worth more than £1/$2 but would come out of you existing stash, so technaically wouls only cost time. Does that make more sense?

Can you tell me what a Christmas pressie swap is?

Well I might start a Christmas Present Swap aswell, I didn't know if 1 big item or lots of little ones in a sock for example would be better.

This is a great swap! Thank-you for offering it and if you do add a christmas present swap, or stocking swap or both..... let me know as I would hate to miss it and I'm vowing not to browes through the new swaps....(I'm getting carried away) Just wanted you to know the time frame you've given is wonderful as well as the swap itself...Warm fuzzies to you icklemissus!

I can't wait! I hope my partner is international because this will be so much fun! I absolutely love getting things from other countries!

Now THIS is the kind of Christmas-related swap an agnostic Jew can get into! Hee hee. Great idea!

Ok.. So.. It's just 24 little presents all wrapped up and then a big present for the 25th? Right? Nothing else to it? =] I just want to make sure before I join.

Thats it 24 little packages plus a slightly bigger one for xmas day!
Remember we are aiming for hearts as this is Xmas swap, we want to make sure things are specifically for your partner as I'm sure we all get enough unwanted pressie from those closest to us!

Sparkling H20's, cat's eye ink pads or any ink pad ,

any items that would work for atc's,

art by you.

alcohol inks,

any kind of rubber stampping items or a gift certificate to a on line store that sells rubber stamps and other craft items.

small dragon or farie figures to add to my collection

anything magick

feathers, fibers, or large beads for dream catchers.

i don't use candles or insense or anything with a strong smell I have ashama and have to be careful

my favorite colors are green and purple. they go so well together.

check my profile or email me for more ideas

thanks for hosting such a great swap this should be lots of fun

Dear icklemissus, please answer my question earlier on, thanks ;)

Depending on the situation I may be able to angel a pacakge, but not more than one. Perhaps we could do a whip round of everyone in the group? But I would hope that none go missing and suggest that for a package of this value perhaps send in the safest way ie signed for if it is possible, but that is up to you of course!

When will partners be listed? So looking forward to getting started with buying and wrapping.

Donna
