This swap is a perfect swap to clean out your stash! The swap is in celebration of Buy Nothing Day
http://adbusters.org/metas/eco/bnd/which is the day after Thanksgiving. The whole point is that you stay home and don't give into consumerism on the busiest shopping day of the year.
There are two basic rules for this swap:
1) you can't buy anything for the swap
2) everything you use has to be from your stash or something repurposed that you already have in your possession when you sign up.You will craft 2 medium items for this swap. Feel free to craft more, just discuss it with your partner first! Some items to craft might include a reusable tote bag, reconed teeshirt, buttons, knit, crochet, or sewn things, clay things, embroidered items, ect., but EVERYTHING has to be something you already have in your possession when you sign up for the swap. Items you craft can be general all-purpose items, or they may be something that shows solidarity with the Buy Nothing Day movement.
Additionally, you may choose to suggest a craft that you would like to learn, and the person who is your partner can include the items for you to learn that craft. As it was said, "Come on, what better way is there to spend Buy Nothing Day than learning to make new things..."
A FEW OF MY RULES:
1. You MUST put Buy Nothing Swap in all of your PM's
2. You MUST post in the thread at least once a week
3. You MUST purchase a DC# if you and your partner live in the US, if you live in another country, you must provide me and your partner with a photo of your receipt if requested.
4. You MUST PM me when you send and receive
5. I simply will not approve anyone with multiple feedbacks stating they have not pm'd when sent or received, did not purchase DC, or is a habitual late sender.
6. Everyone is expected to send on time. If you are late, you must notify me. Those who are late and do NOT notify me,you will receive negative feedback on 11/23 which will not be removed or corrected until the items are sent, delivered, and I get a DC/tracking #. I know this sounds strict, but I want to have a smoothing running swap and want everyone to get what they deserve from their partners in a timely manner.
