4  ORGANIZED CRAFT SWAPS / New Swap Theme Ideas / One Tiny Robot Thing Swap on: March 09, 2013 11:15:19 AM
Just wondering if anyone would be interesting in swapping tiny robots?
5  ORGANIZED CRAFT SWAPS / New Swap Theme Ideas / "What I'm Best At" Swap on: March 03, 2013 07:27:19 AM
I was on another craft swap community board and I saw a post that mentioned a swap where you would send someone something of your best work.  For example, I'm really good at spinning yarn, so I would send a handspun skein.  Or if someone was good at scrapbooking they could send a completed page, etc.  Is anyone interested in something like that?  I think it would be exciting because you wouldn't really know what you were going to get.
6  ORGANIZED CRAFT SWAPS / New Swap Theme Ideas / Mug Rug Swap? on: January 30, 2013 07:27:51 PM
