Whoo, I'm in! 

[Jenicat]

Ooh, I love the idea of this swap.  Rainbow things make me so happy!  I'm full right now, but if I can get feedback in a timely manner from a couple of other swaps I'm in, I'd love to be a part of it... I'll stay tuned (glad it's not limited to a certain number of people!). 

[sarahmakes]

Oh, this would be great for me! I just made a rainbow unicorn shirt for my daughter:

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=256517.msg2866462#msg2866462

I'm also working on my first amigurumi toy--a rainbow octopus!

I declare that if I finish my dissertation chapter before sign-ups are over, I will do this swap. (If I don't, then I have bigger problems than missing out on a craft swap!)

[julieboolie]

Okay, sent my stuff in

Off to wist more rainbow things I go.

[ademareej]

Yay signups!  As soon as I get at least one of my two current big projects done, I am in!  (My own personal limit...otherwise I would have swaps coming out my ears!)

[jrain]

I'm just working on my signup form at the moment. I do have a question, though: will we be required to get tracking numbers if we send overseas? You mentioned about saving receipts if sending abroad so I'm slightly confused.
