Craft Swap

I did this on Facebook and thought it might be fun for us!

Its a craft swap of sorts. 

Decide if you want to play.  Send me your name. (amanda_rondeau {at}hotmail{dot}com or msg on here) by April 5.  I will then randomly pair people up. I will let you know who has who.  But don't tell each other what you are making. I'd say we would have until May 1 to finish out item.

How and when to swap? We can either have a swap playdate (would someone volunteer thier place... since I live in the sticks and most of you are in the Burgh?) OR do a snail mailing on a set date.  I know I love to get snail mail. Give me your vote on this also with your name in you intent email. I will go with majority vote.

Each participant makes a 'craft'.  No guarentee on neatness or practicality.  Can be utterly silly or very beautiful. It can be food items.  BUT it must be made by you.  I'd say kits are ok.  No set cost for materials... but lets be reasonable here.  Most of my own crafts have a cost of no more than $5.00 to make. 

ok!  Let me know! :)

Need an idea? Here are some sites I love to 'steal' ideas from.

http://www.onehourcraft.com

http://www.thepaperseed.com

http://www.marthastewart.com (I am no Martha but I do like some of these... and not all of them require $200 machines or tools)

ok, let me know ladies!  I hope this works... I'd love to do more of them!

I just dont get it.  I'm slowwwww - do you mail the craft or you make it together?  Im so confused!  I make hairbows and crochet stuff.  Im so scared., I really need to be less anxious huh?

Jamie- You do!!!! Calm down.. deep breaths here....  Ok. Craft is just the term I use.  Like I  hinted at before it can be cupcakes, a felt pin, a hair bow, a poem, a hand made card, anything as long as its made made with love from one mom to another.  I am not talking quilts or elaborate shadow boxes or hand felted items or anything like that here.   

Oh and Jamie- You make the craft and exchange it (mail or in person).  

Its ok everyone... I get it. :)
