Description:
For this swap you will be committing to be a friend to a fellow Crafting Queen for four weeks. Each week you will send a personal note to your "friend", something newsy to share about your life that week. On the fourth week you will send a note and a handcrafted item (gift wrapped). The item is senders choice but should be a good representation of your strongest crafting skill - something that you would be sure to spend at least $5 on if you saw it at a craft fair or artist's cooperative. So to recap: 4 weeks of mail Weeks 1 - 3 Send a personal note Week 4 Send a personal note AND a (gift wrapped) hand crafted item. Standard swap protocol please: Communication is key and an important part of this swap NO Late sends (if you cannot commit the time, do not sign up!) If anyone would like to set up this same swap for our International group members, you have my full support!

The final week we make something or get something for their favorite craft? Just want to make sure-thanks!

What a bummer not more people are participating. :o(

@WonderMama - The final week we send them something we have made for them.

@CarlaTV - There are 23 people watching. I am hopeful more will join by the end of this week. This is a fun swap and not terribly expensive to participate in. :)

So we need to have all items sent by the deadline? Right? So we will be sending the first notes but we won't be marking sent on the swap yet, not until all have been sent. Right?

@DebP That's right. You will mark the swap sent when you have mailed the last one. =)

If anyone is interested in a friend (without quotation marks) for longer than just 4 weeks, let me know.

That was a good idea--never thought about posting when I sent my notes....Note 3 for TC will be going out this afternoon.

This has been a fun swap; thanks for hosting, @redsockz ! I've already sent my first 3 notes to my partner, and will send out #4 w/ gift next week. :)
