KrisCreates needs an angel for the Fill A Purse Swap Round 5.  She is located in Canada.  The swap requires you to make a purse according to KrisCreates likes and then fill it with at least 5 items that she would like.  At least two of the items must be crafted.  Here are answers to the questionnaire that we did:

What are your fave colors?  Least favorite colors?
Favorite colours are Green, Brown and Purple.  I also like the colour combination Lime Green and Hot Pink.  I don’t really have any least favourite colours, I sort of like everything…  I’m generally drawn to vivid colours and steer away from pastels if that helps any!

What would you like to find in your purse?  I am an art student so I always like to carry a pencil and note book with me, my wallet is a must (I would love to receive a hand made wallet because the one I have is crappy)  Um, other than that I just like to have basic “Purse stuff” with me, like lip balm, gum, my keys, my glasses case… I’m a big reader, so I usually carry a book with me and I often carry knitting with me.

What size purse are you looking for: large (totebag size), medium (hobo size), small (shoulder bag) or even a clutch?  I like a sizeable bag that I can throw all my stuff in and run out the door, so I guess medium or large.

If your partner sends sweets, what are your favorites?  Chocolate, mmm….  I also like candy like Skittles or Starburst, yum!

Do you have a theme you particularly like?  I like anything funky, interesting, and unusual.  (I’m sort of a hippy/punk, if that makes any sense… haha)

Anything you find really distasteful?  Not particularly.  I’m pretty open to everything.

Allergies? nope

Do you want a sewn, knit, crochet, felted bag?  Does it matter to you?  Not really, I’m open to whatever the person crafting for me would like to make!  (On that note, I like bags made of heavier canvas or cotton, and I prefer natural materials, but none of these things are a must if you have a really kick-ass idea!)

Does the closure on your bag matter?  Not really, but I do like a bag to have a closure of some sort so that my stuff feels safe.

If you would like to angel for KrisCreates, please pm me so that I can approve you.  I would like this package sent out within two weeks of approval with a copy of the shipping receipt sent to me.

Edie22 will be the angel for KrisCreates

March 19th is the first day of Spring and I thought that maybe we could do a weekend swap to welcome it in!

We would do signups on Wednesday and Thursday, March 17th & 18th, ending them at 10pm on the 18th.  Then by 9am on March 19th everyone would have partners and we would have to send out by 5pm on Monday, 21st.  You would get to craft over the entire weekend!

I would make it a random swap to make it easier.

How does that sound?

I am looking for 1 angel for Saturn, who lives in the US.  The swap requires 1 large and 2 smalls or 1 large and 1 medium.  If you go to the Original Thread Link, there are lots of ideas on what to send if you get stumped!

Here's some information on Saturn:

Colors: cotton-candy pink, raspberry pink, golden yellow, gold, silver, purple, black

Fabric: Any really, but who doesn't like Sari fabric, silk, organza, or soft cotton linen?

Etc: I like old coins, cowrie shells, glass beads, and tribal jewlery.

What styles of Belly Dance have you studied or like the best? I have studied mainly Tribal Fusion and Classical/Folkloric/Saidii Egyptian. I also play the doumbek! (middle eastern drum) and I'm learning the Zurna (snake charmer flute)

How long have you been dancing/studying? About 2 years.

Do you have any favorite belly dancers? Rachel Brice & Zoe Jakes

What types of costumes do you like, glitzy with sequins or earthy with cowries and old tribal coins?
I like both! I have a glitzy sequined-out turquoise costume for Egyptian style, an earthy Black and Silver tribal costume with old coins and tribal jewelry, and a pink gypsy costume that's both glitzy with sari fabric and earthy with old coins, that I'm still trying to accessorize.

Things you may like to receive: Just ideas of what I could really use:
-Neat things to put in my hair like flowers, feathers, or hair sticks
-A gypsy-ish purse to match my pink costume for renaissance faire
- Pine,cedar, or potpourri sachets to put in my costume trunk to keep costumes fresh
-Head scarf in pink, or perhaps a middle eastern looking pillbox hat
-Hair falls/blond dread extensions, hair clip-ins
-Solid or patterned pink Harem pants
-Stuff to tie around my waist, like belts or things with tassels, fringe etc.
-A drawstring bag for my Zurna
 - or whatever your imagination dictates!
