Just a reminder that your crafts for the Celtic/Norse swap are due out in one week, February 19th. If you're going to be late, that's fine, but you
must communicate as much with both me and with your partner.
For those of you who want to send early, please remember that you need to get delivery confirmation when sending within your own country. If sending internationally, you must save your receipt to prove that you did actually send.
Since we already have someone who shipped their swap, I set up a gallery here:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=152107.0I will be keeping track of send-outs there.

Details of swap:This is a swap to celebrate the history, culture, art, and mythology of the Celtic and Norse peoples.
We'll have a month to craft once we receive our partners. Swap should be one major item (one you've spent approximately 5-8 hours on); one medium item (3-4 hours); one or two small items (1-2 hours); or a combination that will be equal to these guidelines in time spent (i.e. 2 large items). You don't need to time yourself, of course; I just want to make sure every one puts in the about same amount of effort. Expect to spend about 10 hours crafting over the course of 4 weeks.
Remember to have fun! Get to know your partner, learn something new about these exciting cultures!
