Is anyone doing an advent calendar swap this year? 

Also if anyone can help, would love if you could vote for my photography here:

Ok, looks like I missed the sign ups (I only read the thread title with the dates - silly me).  I still want to do this swap and got a lot of interest last time.  So let me try again and this time, i will be sure to sign up the first day (assuming life isn't in the way lol).  I am hoping to find someone to organize this swap as I am not comfortable doing it myself.  What a diy craft swap is, is where you put a kit together for your partner to teach them how to do a new (to them) craft.  It will include everything you would need (within reason) to craft a couple items and it will have instructions and/or pictures to help too.  It is a fun swap and a great way to learn a new craft. 

Here is a link to the last one I participated in for a better explanation:

And since I know resin is a big hit, i would be happy to offer resin pendant/magnet kits. 

Hey, just wondering if anyone was going to be doing one of these anytime soon?  I have participated in one in the past and would love to do another.

Here are the new jewels i made today. 

Would love your thoughts...

Ok, so I don't watch the tv show the office, so I need help from those that do.  Can someone tell me some fun facts about this show.  This is info I need for a swap.  Thanks for the help. 

As many of you know, we recently lost a loved one back in October. His name was George. He was a wonderful father, of 5, husband and a great friend! I am best friends with his wife and I am quite close to a couple of his children. George was the sole provider for his family and his wife is having a hard time getting a job. This will be the hardest, both financially and emotionally, Christmas for his wife and children.

Therefore, I am asking for any and all help I can get from you wonder people in CRAFTSTERland. I am going to donate every penny I make (until christmas) to help give her family the best christmas they could have. I am also willing and would love any handmade items for any of them. You can pm me for any details. Thank you for all your help.

Just a little fyi.

Josh is 6, Jordan is 9 and special needs, she loves all things girlie and princess like. LOL Rachel is 14. I really don't have much contact with the rest of his kids, they are 15, 16 and step daughter 21.

I am not even sure where to put this, so I am putting it here.  If I am in one of your swaps, I am asking for a couple days to get caught up.  My family lost a loved one in a sudden and tragic way and things have been quite crazy.  I am hoping to get thing back in order and try to get back to normal in the next couple days.  Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
