Description:

You have a talent; it is time to share it! This is an unique swap, so read carefully. You will have one (but really two) partners. Do what you do, and do it twice. This can be knitting, quilting, sewing, painting, stamping, on and on.... You will be assigned one partner. Send your handmade item along with your name and address to your partner. As a way of connecting with your swap partner that sends you a swap, when you receive your item along with your partner's address, send them what you do too!!!!

So, in simple terms, when you get your swap, send the person who sent you something, something right back!! Example: If you are knitting a scarf, make two. Send to the partner who is assigned to you and wait till you receive your item. Inside that package should be a name and address. You will then send what you do to that partner. Make sense? If not email me.

This is open only to U.S. Why? Well, because of postage and length of time to send overseas. This is also open to only swappers who have a 5.0 rating. Why? Because those swappers will for sure complete the second part of the swap.

If you don't have a 5.0 rating and really want to do this cool swap, email me and let me know that you will do both parts of this swap.

i love this idea! i was just thinking today when i sent out 2 more swaps packages & am enjoying the recent 2 that have arrived how cool it would be if we did something like send a little soemthing back after we got a package.

looking forward to this a lot

I agree, this is a great idea... too bad I'm overseas... maybe next time. I actually might just start doing it on my own. Thanks for the idea Kimmie.

Is there a price limit set?

ginm 03/21/2007 #

I am not setting a price limit, because I really would not know how to do that. If you do something like handmade cards then send a couple. If you are in question contact me and tell me what you do.....Hope this helps!!

Hi Ginm, I sent you an e-mail a while ago about participating in this great idea, I don't have any ratings yet, but I've sent items on 4 swaps (6 after tomorrow) it's just too soon for ratings for me! I can give you the names of people I've sent to if you'd like "references". I signed up, but I won't take it (too) personally if you drop me for being too new. :)

Dee, I plan to send your package tomorrow. I will be in NYC from 4/22-4/28. If you are sending to me I won't send someting back to you until I return, so Monday 4/30. It is ready to go--I just don't want someone fretting if they send to me and then don't hear from me right away! :O)

Kathy!!! The most beautiful surprise arrived in my mailbox today. Even my husband and father-in-law were impressed and fascinated. (They are both engineer-types so they really wanted to know how you did it - Good thing you explained in the letter). Thank you so much! I feel like a princess today! :)

Thanks, Chy

Woo-Hoo! I got mine already! Thank you Kiki. The little bags are so sweet, and I will use them to carry the little stuff in my pocketbook that always winds up in the bottom in the corners. And I love both pair of earrings. I will definitely be wearing them. thank you!

I rec'd an absolutely GORGEOUS purse from Chy (FunToScrap) today. The workmanship is outstanding! I couldn't be any more thrilled with it. She also included a lovely letter telling a bit about herself. This was quite a treat! :O)

FunToScrap 05/27/2007 #

Oh KIKI!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you! I love them AND they arrived on my birthday. Serendipity at its best!

So the rest of you want to know what she sent???? She made me a pair of pillowcases just for me in shades of purple! She had read on a different swap that I needed some and she took up the task.

Thank you! What a thoughtful treat.
