Details of swap*:
*everything that follows courtesy of gavagai from previous rounds, thanks! 
If you a) have crafts lying around that you've made
or b) want to de-stash supplies or
or c) enjoy making things for other people
...then this swap is for you! It's a lot like the Ongoing Wish Swap, except instead of posting what you want to receive, you'll post what you want to give. To join you must have at least five things that you have made/would like to make/want to trade.
This is an ongoing swap, feel free to join up at any time this month! To join, first send a Personal Message to organizers
corduroy cat or
gavagai with the following questionnaire info. Once you are approved, you are free to claim something (i.e. one item) from the most recent list posted, and then post your own list, someone claims from it and the swap goes on like that, like a chain. Please note that you will need to add things to your list and/or reduce prices (maybe let people pick two things instead of one) if no one claims from your list for a couple of days. We want to keep the swap going!
If something is not clear, feel free to PM me or ask in the discussion thread:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an ongoing swap: Claim an item from the list of the last person who posted and post your own list in response. It makes a chain. When we get to the end of the month, the very last person to post a list will be the first person to post a list at the beginning of the next month, if Craftsters decide to organize a new round at that time.
Remember your outstanding claim limit for this round:
Friend of Craftster: Three
First-Time Swapper: One
Everyone Else: Two
This is how many pending at a time you may have. As soon as one of your packages is received then you may claim again.
Your list of offerings: if your list stays up for more than 48 hours before someone claims from it, you must add something to it. You can also allow claimers to add more items together to make a claim (i.e. they don't seem to be biting on your earrings, so now they can take two pairs for a single claim instead of just one.) If you are having trouble coming up with stuff to add, consider offering a small item to be custom made for the person who claims from you. This can be conditioned on using stash items if you wish. Remember that it must be something that you can complete in 14 days, unless your partner agrees otherwise.
Once someone claims from you, you have 2 weeks to get the package in the mail. Please contact the organizers by personal message when you send the package and when you receive a package so everyone gets credit.
ALSO: Please make sure to post to the discussion thread so you stay up on any updates!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not sign up unless you are willing to send outside of your country. This means that you will be willing to send ANYTHING in your list out of the country, if claimed. Please do not list items as "US only." If you feel that an item is too heavy to send internationally, please do not list it in your shop.
Check out the previous rounds if you need help figuring out the scope of what to put on your list. It is typically in the $15 range, from a half a yard to a couple yards of fabric depending on weight and fanciness, crafted accessories, grab bags of yarn, beads, buttons and notions, things of that nature.
Photos and the Gallery: Whenever possible, include pictures of the items you're offering in your posts.
Delivery Confirmation numbers are mandatory for people in the U.S. sending to other people in the U.S., and everyone else must keep their receipts.
This round of the swap will close around midnight, on the official Craftster clock, June 30th. Feedback will (ideally) be given on July 1st for all participants who have no pending claims. Everyone whose packages haven't been received will get feedback once the package reaches its destination.
Reminders/Summary:
1. Make sure to PM corduroy cat when you send and receive
2. As soon as you claim something from someone, shoot them a PM with your address
3.
Please try to stay on top of adding new things/combining items into one claim if your list stays up more than a couple days. Don't make us have to nag you!4. Post pics in the gallery if someone makes you something custom or you make something from supplies you receive.
5. This thread is only for lists only. You may post a "bump" after you have added something new/combined your items, but otherwise post all questions/comments/requests/whatever into our discussion thread
