Details of swap:

Are you obsessed with a particular theme so much so that you made it your Craftster name?
This is your chance to do a little stalking, and personalize and craft items for your partner based on their Craftster user name! This swap is about crafting the theme/meaning of your partners Craftster name & not the name itself. So, instead of putting "Mini" on a sweatshirt, you will knit me a mini sweater (or send me a Mini Cooper!), instead of putting "Octipii" on some stationary, you will draw some octopuses & put them on the stationary... Get it? umm.... I should say, does that make sense? ...

We will be crafting one large, one medium and one small item. Or two medium and two small items. Other combinations discuss with your partners.

Additional Rules:

You MUST get a DC Number in the US. Outside of the us you MUST send me your receipt (photo or scan). 

Please acknowledge when you receive your package by sending a pm to both me and your partner AND by posting in the Swap Gallery (will post link to thread once swap is underway). Failure to communicate will be noted in your swap feedback.

I will be giving feedback comments in the following way:
-  great swapper: for those who follow all the rules
-  good/poor communication:  where applicable
-  sent late/early: where applicable
-  no dc number: failed to comply with the rule about using a delivery confirmation number for packages within your own country
- didn't post pictures: failed to post pictures of what they received without an adequate explanation to their partner

If you don't have access to a digital camera, let your partner know early on so they can be sure to take a picture before they send. It's so sad to craft something and not have a record of it.

If, for whatever reason, you are going to have to send late (or worse, not send at all - we all understand that life can get in the way of crafting.), please let me and your partner know ASAP. Avoid negative feedback by keeping in good communication and avoid having your partner send to you when you do not intend to finish the swap!!

I love this swap...as in, I kind of changed my username with this swap in mind.  Too bad now I'm very shy of the one month time limit.  Plus, I'm leaving for my first year of college on the 18th, and with being away from home for the first time, I'm not sure I'd be able to meet the deadline. 
Well, hopefully there will be another round of this swap soon because I really love this idea.

Oh... that's just plain bad timing...
Especially that you got a cool new name....
If it doesn't work out for you then we will have another round just for you!!!

Cute idea for a swap mini! However, I doubt anyone would have it easy trying to come up with Banga crafts. Unless they send me a wooden mallet. 

[WIPs]

Aw man, I wish I could do this. My parents would probably get a kick out of it.

I will definitely be stalking the gallery.

Humm... Well, what does it mean? I can see things with cool retro "bang" flags or guns on them.... Cowboys? Cops? Gang banga stuff?

I am obsessed with my username. I totally want to sign up for this, but I totally promised myself no more swaps for a while! Hmm... maybe I'll try to squeeze this one in too.
