Details of swap:

Oooh earrings! Everyone loves them and should have countless pairs of them! So that's why we're here!

In this swap, you will be crafting earrings for your partners. You can choose the number of partners you want:

Swap newbies - max of 2 partners
Seasoned swap-sters - max of 4 partners
FOCs - max of 6 partners

So be creative and craft to your heart's content! Stalking your partners is highly recommended! So please provide links to any Wists or blogs or anything to help your partners out.

Shipping for this Swap:
This swap is open to international participants so please specify your shipping preference in your questionnaire. As always, make sure to save your receipt if shipping internationally.

For those shipping within the US, this swap REQUIRES a DC #. If you cannot or will not get a DC#, do not sign up for this swap. If you don't get DC#s, it will be noted in your feedback. I apologize if this seems a bit harsh but this will ensure a great swap experience for all participants.

Please don't ship your earrings in regular envelopes without padding. Padded manila envelopes are best but please make sure to wrap them in a bit of extra stuffing. If you do and your partner can provide pictures of the broken item, you will have to send a replacement pair.

Communication:
Since this swap includes multiple partners, communication is CRUCIAL! Please post in the thread at least once a week or PM me and your partners once a week.

Real life is more important than online life - if you need an extension for sending, please let me and your partners know. This is really important to avoid the "flaker" and negative feedback possibility.

Please be sure to PM quickly once you've sent and once you've received. And please post pics in our gallery! Everyone will want to see the goodies you've received! If you can't post pictures, please make arrangements with your partners. I want to make sure everyone receives feedback quickly so make sure to PM and post pictures quickly.
