There is also an altered pen that is Star Wars themed, but it's in my pen cup on my work desk.

Details of swap:  

This is a secret swap!  You will receive your partner's detailed questionnaire and you get to stalk them!  You may ask their friends questions, but you cannot have any communication with them to give away your identity.  It's loads of fun!  You will send to one person.  You will receive from one person.  However, that will not be the SAME person.  For example:  I might send to blushingbluegrass, but receive from edie22. (thanks for the use of your names, ladies!)

You must have a pinterest/wist of at least 75 items, the majority need to be crafty please. You must fill out the entire questionnaire so that the person sending to you can send you awesome items.

The swap requirement is to make 1 large, 1 medium and 1 small item.  Of course you can send extras!

Communication with the organiser is vital as you will not be communicating with a partner.  It is required to post in the thread at least once a week.  If I notice that you aren't posting, I will contact you to make sure you are still around and crafting, don't take offense, it's a requirement of the swap!

As of 2/08/13:  There has been a USPS change!  They are no longer offering DC# confirmation.  BUT they are offering tracking - you must ask for it at the counter and they include it in your postal charge for 90 cents Tracking is what is required now instead of a DC#

I received from pioneer9 and everything is awesome!  She really got what I like and the package is perfect!

First was a cute little card with cookies on it and some little notecards:


Next is the best Dr. Who wallhanging EVER - I ADORE IT!


A cute little bag:


The best Christmas ornament I've ever see - an adipose!  And a kitty picture frame!



The box has a tag that reads 'Bat Spleens', which is hilarious because whenever my daughter is cranky she'll say 'Leave me alone, my spleen hurts'.   In it were a cute green bracelet and a necklace that I've been coveting forever!  I'm so excited to wear it!


The last and possibly best item?  A Dr. Who messenger bag - the picture is amazing and the inside is like the Starry Night episode!



pioneer9 - thank you so much, it's an amazing package and I love everything!!!

So I loved this idea but I didn't like it when I painted the eyebrows and hair, so I reversed it!  I do like it this way, but I think next time I'll paint a bit further down on all of them.
