Welcome to the Givers and Needers swap! It's time for round three!
Givers: If you have an overabundance of craft supplies, this is your role. You send a box (doesn't matter how big or how small; it's totally up to you) to a Needer and receive a little thank-you gift for all your generosity. You do need to get a DC# for your package.
Needers: If you have a need for craft supplies, this is your role. You will receive a box from a Giver with things you asked for in your questionnaire, and once you have received it you will send a little thank-you gift to the Giver. This could be an ATC, a handmade card, a piece of jewelry, whatever. You do not need a DC# for this gift, but taking a picture of the package before it has been sent (in the envelope) is required.
This swap is limited to 16 people because it takes some work to match swappers up. There will be eight givers spots and eight needers spots; once they are filled, they are filled.
This is a great way to de-stash and help a fellow crafter out who may for various reasons need some supply help. I have personally been on the receiving side of this swap and have never been disappointed with what I received.
New for this round: if you have not sent out by the sendout date, you will be given negative feedback UNTIL you PM me with your proof of sending your package.
