=========================== REQUIREMENTS == let's get the sticky red tape outta the way 1st.

A. I will allow newbies, as we were all newbies to begin with and how else can you NOT be a newbie but to do a swap??? BUT do not join unless you are 115% committed to showing oldies what a dedicated newbie candobie. B. North America only to minimize shipping costs but to allow my loony friends to participate in this craft exchange. C. No swappers with LOW or BAD scores. I will not set the bar high and my reason is this -- scores are subjective AND use this challenge to wow the socks off of your swap buddy. Do soemthing so awesome your score is raised and redeemed by your sharing of tunage. D. PLEASE be serious about sending. It sucks to get "forgotten." I know. I have been the one waiting by my mailbox and in days gone by when my youngest was very young, I, too, forgot to get something out. Luckily for me they knew me and we could work it out. On here, it is a different environment and the honour system is taken very seriously. Flake and the Swap-Bot world knows about it.

Rules --

  1. In the comment section - post your lists!
  2. READ what your swap buddy writes -- this is crucial.
  3. Take a "tube" made for wine bottles (think BIG pringle's can!)

-- you can decorate the outside if you like, or find one which suits your swap buddy's preferences. 4. Choose one of each crafts from your buddy's lists. 5. Fill the box with stuff for their crafts of choice. 6. Throw in something EXTRA just because!

EXAMPLE --

If I answer my top 3 favorite crafts to do are 1. Knitting 2. Crocheting 3. Dollmaking AND I would like to get into 1. ATCs 2. Origami 3. Calligraphy. So my swap buddy could choose to send me a doll pattern, the required fabrics & notions AND a small book on origami & paper. As long as EVERYTHING fit in the wine bottle box. She adds a dragonfly magnet as my profile says I like them.

Let's say my buddy's answers were 1. ATCs. 2. Rubberstamping 3. Altered Art AND 1. Crocheting 2. Soap Making 3. Scrap booking. I might decide to fill her wine box with a selection of rubber stamps to match something she likes in her profile & ink pads AND a simple "Learn to Crochet" pattern booklet, hook & yarn for one of the patterns in the booklet. For the extra, I throw in a small owl figurine as she collects them. }{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{

What kind of wine box? The wood rectangular/square ones or the circular/square cardboard type that have a patterened paper on the outside? Thanks! I love this idea!

I have no clue what a wine box looks like, when I buy wine it comes off of the shelf at the grocery store. lol Can someone fill me in? In the mean time I'll go look on google.

Craftlover10101 03/ 8/2007 #

hmmm i think i got it lol google is fast lol

Serenity -- Hmmmmm...whichever! I was just thinking about the circular ones I bought @ Target last week {cause I loved the colour} and how PERFECT they are for storing yarn in! [and hence crafty stuff!]

Heather - I am curious what you found on Goggle..so I am off to check....

Is there a price limit??

user3051 03/ 8/2007 #

"wine tube" -- is best phrase if you are searching! though I would not mind a box either!

befana 03/ 8/2007 #

my favorite crafts to do are 1-knitting, 2-felted purses, 3-penny rugs. I would like to try atcs,beading,and mozaics.I love pug dogs.

user3051 03/ 8/2007 #

tried like nuts to change the pic to one of wine tubes...wouldn't work so I added a "link" in the rules about what they look like

user3051 03/ 9/2007 #

wow -- it finally posted the pic i wanted --HOURS later!

user3051 03/ 9/2007 #

okay-- i should make my real lists as the one above was for example!

favs are 1. knitting 2. sewing (quilts/stuffies/dolls stuff for kiddos) 3. jewelry making (adore natural supplies - wooden/bone/shell/glass & regional or cultural beads)

i want to get into 1. basket weaving (i did it once or twice before & love it BUT have no supplies on hand at all) 2. etched or stained glass stuff (the pattern books look so fun & i would love to decorate the million glass candle holders i have to give as gifts or swaps) 3. since i love yarn crafts i would like to learn how to use a hand spindle or the stuff you do to the fibres before you knit with them ie. dyeing, spinning etc
