Description:

I love to alter wooden objects and books. If you are like me than this is the swap for you.

The Challenge:

Buy a plain wood item from your local craft store. It can be anything from a jewelry box, a photo box, the initials of your pals name or a bird house, (there are many choices out there).

Alter it using paint, beads, sring, embellishments, fabric, scrapbook papers, etc. Be as creative as you possibly can.

Here are a couple of ideas that you can use as a sounding board:

The Rules:

  • No No-Sends in the last 3 months
  • This is a US and International Swap, be prepared to pay postage if you have an international swapper
  • Must have a rating of 4.5 or higher. If you have a lower rating and there's been some kind of problem with ratings, please shoot me a message before signing up.
  • If for some reason you can NOT send to your pal please contact me. I'd rather not have to do angels because this is going to be a rather labor intensive project, but I want everyone to receive something! :)

Any other questions, shoot me a message.

***ETA: I just got a message from someone stating that there is a good possibility that some countries may not allow wood products to be shipped to them. So, if this is the case please contact me. There are still many other items out there that can be altered and we will work something out if you still want to join. Thanks! ***

Hey, does anybody know if this swap is still going on? My swap partner is "Blueeyedpenny" who happens to be the Swap Coordinator. When go to the area where it indicates my swap partner it lists her name but with not address information and it indicates that she no longer exists. Did someone else take this over? Any answers would be great. Jan Freeman (jfreeman)

I am still at a lose as to what to do. I have not heard from the coordinator of this swap and she is my partner. I have sent several emails to her and I have sent several emails to the Swap-Bot adminstrator and nobody has returned any of my emails. I am so confused. If anyone can give me and advice that would be great. Jan Freeamn
