FOC Raffle Swap - Theme Ideas for the Next Rounds??

[TheSapphireMoon]

WOW!  Great ideas, pinkleo!

I love the one about a decade, like 60s/70s.  I am SUCH a retro freak!

You all are giving me some serious food for thought here.

Well though I'm still debating on the first one, I'm into the future theme planning too! I think the green/recycled theme would be awesome! And on the same note, the totebag/market bag as a large puzzled me a bit... I could do a tote as a medium easy, or a fabric shopping bag would be just small!

I said large on that, as I know I would be making a REALLY big one similar to one I already have that is made from a heavy weight canvas, so it is not lined, and it is about 20-22 inches long and wide with an inside and outside pocket for wallet, keys, stuff so you can just take IT and not an extra purse with you to the fleamarket/grocery.  Yes, most market bags I guess would be a medium....well, I would scale mine down a bit then so it would qualify as a medium and/or nix the extra pockets thing to shave off time and materials cost.

A set of 2-4 fabric shopping bags could be made for that swap to meet a medium size, right?  I could maybe do that instead.

Ahh... all very logical! A big one is a nice idea!

I have an idea for the US-only swap. Since it's hard to send food internationally, maybe we could do a sweets/recipe raffle. You'd win a tasty treat, plus the recipe so you can try it yourself. Whaddya think?

(I think you could match vegans or veggies together. And if someone's not that into sweets, maybe you could do a salty snack instead?)

And I *had* an idea for this in general, but I've forgotten it...   It'll come back soon. Sigh.

Hmmmm....that sounds like it could be a deliciously delightful idea!  Mmmm....tasty cookies....*drool*

maybe we could have an art one?  i've seen so many amazing works of art in the more art less craft section.  but then again, art can take a long time to produce, so maybe that's not the best idea...well i'm throwing it out there anyway. 
actually...if someone did want to offer up some art it could probably go in the housewares theme, since you can hang it in your house...

[TheSapphireMoon]

Yeah, it could   Maybe something relatively small scale, so it won't cost so much to mail and won't take too long to do...

Is there a gallery up for this swap yet?  I meant to do some bookmarks and search just thinks I mean FOX raffle   I can't wait to see this swap unfold and all the Raffle Crafts.  (Say that 10 times fast - it comes out like Crafftles )

Actually, part of how this swap works is to post the completed item in the main swap thread so everyone can see the 'prizes' offered.  I will do a gallery for the swap after signups end, so that those receiving can post photos of the 'prize' in action in their home, on their body, etc., but for now it is just the main thread found here
