July usually kicks off the Christmas crafting season. So...let's get a head start on our Handmade Holidays with a Christmas in July Stash Busting Swap! It's always nice to get help filling our gift crafting lists. As crafters, most of us enjoy giving handmade gifts. We also usually have a few more craft supplies around the house than we'd like to admit. Wink

Items should be crafted from supplies that you currently have in your possession. The only exception being basic consumables like glue, thread etc... If you are a spoiler, please spoil with handmade extras. No store-bought extras, please, as this is a stash busting swap. You can craft items to help your partner stuff stockings, fill their gift list or, get a head start making their holiday decor etc...

If you do not celebrate Christmas, not to worry, all comers are welcome! The main spirit of this swap is to do some good ol' fashioned Stash Busting! I'll do my best to partner swappers according to their interests.

Swappers will be crafting items worth a total of 6 POINTS

1 BIG= 3 POINTS
1 MEDIUM= 2 POINTS
1 SMALL= 1POINT

Partners may swap more if they are both in agreement and able to send on or before the deadline of July 31.

Please read the Swap Info Guide for info on the swap process and Swap Etiquette for a helpful guide on project size requirements. If you have any questions about the swap please do not hesitate to PM serendipity_sarah.
