Description:
... Craft Lovers Extraordinaire 1: Jan-Feb'08 ... This swap is dedicated to all of those who love to craft, and to those who are "extraordinaire" swappers. Let me explain better. We all love to swap good stuff already made, but raise your hand if you were, at least once, somewhat disapointed for not receiving more cute stuff to be creative with. Yeah, I knew you would raise your hand... I did. And I know you are proud to be an extraordinaire swapper and you love to receive accordingly. So, this swap is for you my friend. ... SEND RULES You must choose two of the favorite colors of your friend and play with them. All your items must reflect the colors you chose. (Pay attention to the profile, and hey, remember to update yours too.) . MUST SEND (choose 3 of the following that fits your partners interests bether): Fabric (at least 2 Pieces, no less than 10x10 inches each, or 25x25 cm's) Yarn (at least 2 pieces) Ribbon (at least 4 different, with minimum leght of 10 inches or 25cm's) Buttons or beads (minim. 20 pieces, at least 4 different designs) Paper (at least 4 different, no less than 5x5 inches or 13x13 cm's) . YOU CHOOSE: One other item to craft with, that you know your partner will love. Two items to spice up the senses of your partner. ... GENERAL RULES You will have 1 secret friend, so you will only make one package, and a really good one. This is an international swap, so only join if you are not affraid of the post office. Yeah, you know what I mean. Send only what you would like to receive. Good quality rules! I would love to see some photos at our Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/craftloversextraordinaire/, please join and add them (next swap this will be a 'must do'). Extra goodies can give you extra hearts. And that's what you should aim for. No swapers with less than 5 overall ratings. That's righ, full 5. And full complete profile also. 20 hearts. No less. I'll be checking your profiles too. Extraordinaire, remember? No newbies, sorry. Have fun! I know I will :) ... (I'm sorry for any english errors. It's not my mother language and I hate it when someone makes errors in my language.)

I think your english is wonderful!

I just wanted to find out something. You said that swappers must have no less then 5 rating but you also said that they have to have 20 heart?? Which is it. Since you can only get 1 heart per swapper then you have to have at least 20 swap partners.

Elotopia 11/24/2007 #

I meant 5 overall rating. Perhaps bad english? I appreciate any corrections :)

Skyfire 11/24/2007 #

LOL no harm ment. I just wanted to be sure so others could understand too. As for your english don't worry about it. Yours is really good for it not being your native langage!!

I'm in swap bot a long time... 2 partners gave me a rate of 1, I sent twice the packages, but they desaper from this swaps... and now I have to live with a bad rating... I really loved to join this swap... hey, rules were made to contradict...

Elotopia 11/27/2007 #

I'm sorry Paula, but you don't have 20 hearts either :(

paulavelosa 11/28/2007 #

ok, I'm working on hearts, probably when we get the final date I could join... letÂ´s see...

huiyuehin 11/28/2007 #

I am working on getting more hearts too, but it seems the deadline is impossible for me to get 20 on time. I'm looking forward for the second round or third round of this swap!

Elotopia 11/28/2007 #

Hello all, I just added a new rule: I would love to see some photos at our Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/craftloversextraordinaire/, please join and add them (next swap this will be a 'must do').

Have fun! :)

I need to drop this swap. I am sorry.

Elotopia 12/29/2007 #

Aww, that's sad :( Maybe you can join the next one!

My dear swap friends, This is just a quick note to let you all know that this swap is about to begin. Be sure that you all have your profiles complete with the informations your secret frind will need to prepare you an extraordinaire swap. Also be sure to say in your profile what are your favorite colors. And final, I may open some exceptions to the "full 5 rating, more than 20 hearts" rule, but need to have a very good explanation. So do not be alarmed if you see someone in the swap that do not fits this rule, that is based in a very good explanation. Remember that is not necessary to send right away. You should aim for the swap to arrive in February, you will have a full month to set up your swap parcel. Happy swappy everybody!!!

if you are to only pick three items. please don't send yarn or fabric. i like the other stuff better. i didn't realize that till now and sent everything. oh well!!

whimsy50 01/28/2008 #

you let in a swapper with only 7 hearts....miudaelectrica...or something like that. how come you broke your own rules?????

Elotopia 01/30/2008 #

Hello Whimsy, as I stated before: And final, I may open some exceptions to the "full 5 rating, more than 20 hearts" rule, but need to have a very good explanation. So do not be alarmed if you see someone in the swap that do not fits this rule, that is based in a very good explanation. Miudaelectrica is a very good friend of mine. We used to swap before swap-bot even existed, and she is a great swapper. But still, if something goes wrong, I'm fully responsible.
