Details of swap:
The holiday season is here, and I can already feel the extra pounds creeping on! Let's all get an early start on our New Years Resolutions, and help each other fight off those evil holiday pounds! In this swap, we will craft things to help motivate our partner to lose weight and/or get fit. Some possible crafts are motivational art or jewelry, crafted gym bags or yoga mat slings, inspirational quotes, healthy recipe cookbooks, or a calendar to help track achievements! So many other possibilities! This is going to be so much fun!
SWAP SIZE:
As for the specifics: this is a five-point swap . Swap packages can include any number or size of items as long as they add up to at least 5 points:
3 pts = large
2 pts = medium
1 pt = small
Here are the Craftster guidelines for item sizes:
LARGE: 3 or more hours, $30 or more (a shawl, a shirt, a skirt, a set of jewelry with four to five items, a purse)
MEDIUM = 2 to 3 hours, $10-$30 (a scarf, a simple bag)
SMALL = less than 2 hours, less than $10 (earrings, a wallet)
These size guidelines are very subjective, so, as always, work with your partner to decide how much to send. Be sure to agree on the amount of time, money, and effort you want to spend for this swap. If you or your partner want to make something that requires more time or effort than we usually think of for a large item this point system gives you a little room. But PLEASE be sure to consult with your partner!
OTHER SPECIFICS:
For this swap, you will need to post in the thread once a week. Not only does this help the organizer keep track of what's going on, but it helps build a network to support everyone on their weight loss mission. Failure to post in the thread at least once a week (without prior notification of absence) will be noted in communication feedback.
As per the Craftster Swap Rules, participants who have not sent by 2 weeks after the deadline will be given negative feedback. This will be reversed when you send.
