DECEMBER Birthday Swap (Sign-up's until December 31) Lists ONLY

[lindsayrose]

(Swap Format taken from previous birthday swaps.) Thanks Maremare  
 
PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE NOT POSTING A LIST (WITH APPROVAL). THERE IS A SEPARATE THREAD FOR DISCUSSION; THIS THREAD IS FOR BIRTHDAY LISTS ONLY.

PLEASE READ ALL RULES BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR INFO.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR LIST UNTIL YOU RECEIVE A PM SAYING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

Questions? Please post here in the discussion/gallery: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329226.msg3801347#msg3801347

Details of swap:  This swap was organized so everyone can get something crafty for their birthday!  Please read the guidelines carefully.

1. This swap is list style, like the Ongoing Wishlist Swap, however it is NOT chain style. You can choose any birthday craftster’s list that is posted, rather than only being able to pick from the last one posted.

2. This is a medium item swap. A medium item is defined as a craft or recon, etc that takes you two hours to complete OR $20 worth of Store Bought Items. (If bought from a thrift store, estimate at what it would have cost new.) However you may also substitute a few small items for a medium.

3. If your birthday is in swap's current month, you can post your birthday wish list for this month. To do that, you must first PM me with the swap questionnaire filled out and wait for approval. While you're waiting, be sure to post in the discussion thread: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329226.msg3801347#msg3801347

4. Once you have been approved, you may post your list of things that you would like to receive. This is the format for your lists:
Your location and a short bio
A list of crafted items you would like
Any craft supplies you'd like
And a few “extras” that aren’t crafted, things like candy or tea.
Remember, the more items on your list, the more likely you are to be chosen. The minimum of items to post is five.  Also including your wists is a good way for people to get the idea of your likes and style.  If you have any allergies please type them in red in your bio section.

5. Please post lists only in this thread. Discussion can be done here in the combined discussion/gallery thread: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329226.msg3801347#msg3801347

 6. Every birthday participant must make at least one claim. You may have up to two claims at a time, unless you are an FOC or a first time swapper, and then you can claim again once your items are received (not when you mail out). New swappers may only have one outstanding claim; they may claim again after their first claim is received. FOC"s may have 3 outstanding claims at a time. Claims need to be made from the "crafted" and "craft supplies" sections of a person's list. The "extras" are just that--extra items you may want to throw in if you are feeling generous, but claims cannot be solely extras. Keep it crafty :-) (I'm asking that if you are sending mostly supplies, that you craft a little something for the bday babe.)

7. You may get claimed more than once, but your minimum amount to claim is one.  It is possible you may not get claimed at all. In this case you will not be provided a swap angel; angels are only if you get flaked on. However I do my best to make sure everyone gets claimed by keeping track of how many times each person is claimed. If possible try to pick someone who has been claimed 0 times versus someone who has been claimed 3 times.

8. If it is not your birthday but you would like to send a birthday present out you may do so.  Fill out the “non-birthday swapper” questionnaire and send it to me for approval.  Birthday swappers who receive a present from a non-birthday swapper must send a snail mail thank you card.  You will not receive feedback until I hear from the other swapper that they have received a thank you card.

 9. When you choose to fulfill a birthday wish, PM both the organizer AND the chosen craftster.  At that time, please request the address for where to send it.  After that you have 2 weeks to get the item out the door.
Note: Since I am starting this swap a few days before the beginning of the month I am asking that you only post your list after you are approved and wait to make claims until the first of the month. Thanks!
10. It is super important for everyone to keep good communication.  It is REQUIRED that you PM me when you've sent and of course, don't forget the DC#.  It is REQUIRED that when you receive, you PM me and publicly announce in the gallery (even if you don't have pictures).  

11. When one of your items is chosen, please cross it out so that it is easier for others to see what has been chosen.
(It wouldn't hurt to thank the person at this time either.)

12. If you are sending late you must PM me by your send-out date.  If your send-out date comes and goes and you don’t PM me, you will receive “poor communication” feedback.  It should not be my job to hunt you down and find out what is going on.

Please make sure to put "December Birthday Swap” or something equivalent in the subject line on all communications.  The most thing to me is communication.  Please PM me when you send and receive, and please reply to my PM's to you in a timely manner.  

Format for PM's:

Proper label:
"December Bday Swap" and either "Sign-up," "Claim," "Sent," "Received," or "Question"

When sending sent and received pm's include the send-by date, listed in the second post of the main thread, your user name, their user name and the item. Just copy and past the info from the second post if you want!:

Hi! I'm 33 and I'll be 34 on the 9th.  I've been crocheting for so many years! my grandma taught me when I was about 8 and I've been doing it on and off ever since.  I live in South Florida with my husband of ten years.  No kids, no pets, I have a tiny condo that is literally older than I am.  I also dabble in making things with felt, I cross stitch...

I can't make jewelry to save my life.  I tried, and its just tedious to me.  Which means anyone that makes it is just awesome in my eyes.

I love the colors blue and purple.  Blue stripes are my absolute favorite.  I also love pink, pink and brown together...

And i'm completely obsessed with Star Trek lately.  Teh new movie had a huge impact on a lot of things, in particular Chris Pine (he plays the new Captain Kirk)... but pretty much the whole thing was just amazing.  We got a new HDTV for our anniversary on Halloween and I agreed to this specifically so I could see the new Star trek movie in HD.  

So anyway... onto the list.  

Anything from my wists:

http://www.wists.com/edie22

-As you can see from my lists, I'm obsessed with purses and bags.  I would love a bag that will fit my new 10 inch laptop, camera, ipod and phone - with pockets.  
-A bag for my crochet/knitting with a little pocket to keep my crochet hooks in.
-A laptop cover - its one of those tiny new 10 inch ones.
-Bracelet - I love beaded bracelets! Especially in blues and purples or pink
-Earrings - I recently started wearing earrings again. I love the little tiny drop ones, that fall just below the ear.
Thanks to akredhead for some jewelry!!
-Anything needlefelted! I've never had anything needlefelted.  My favorite animal is a monkey?
-Needlebook - I keep making them for swaps, and never for myself! thanks jca1982!
-Anything Star Trek related or inspired.  
-hand made journal
-apron - either a half apron for crafting or big apron for cooking. I got one recently in a swap and its AWESOME
-Rapunzel scarf in Christmas colors (red/green/white) or Star Trek colors (red/blue/gold)

Kits
-Rubber stamp carving kit
-beginning sewing kit - I am getting a sewing machine for my birthday from my husband and I haven't sewn anything in about 18 years (not since early in high school)
-Shrinky dink starter kit

Supplies
-yarn! I love yarn, even if its from your stash or lying around your house or whatever!
-Cross stitch/embroidery thread



Extras
-local coffee
-dark chocolate
-reeses cups
-hot chocolate
-birthday cards

Thank you!
(I hope I did this right, Its my first one like this)

Hi there! First off I would like to welcome all of you to this swap, it should be a lot of fun! I am a first time organizer so if I miss something please let me know and anytime you have a question or comment let me know!

All righty! I'm Lindsay, I'm turning the big TWO ONE on the 28th. I live in Vermont with my boyfriend and menagerie of animals (turtle, hamster, fishies, tarantula, and lovely little kitten named Tuck). I'm a Jack of all Crafts master of none I guess. I dabble with paper crafts, jewelry making, a bit of simple sewing, needle felting and recently retaught myself crochet and I'm loving it. I love dark purple, aqua, bright greens and magenta (jewel tones) but I also like more earthy colors like sage green, burnt orange, browns, mauves, more muted dusty colors. Let's see some things I like are nautical themes, old images of ships, lighthouses, things to do with the ocean in general, mermaids sometimes but not the cartoony kind, trees, birds, silhouettes or paper cut outs (I think they are so cool), anything to do with nature really like flowers and leaves and things of that nature. I love damask prints, steampunk stuff is very cool, victorian style things are always beautiful. I think I tend to steer clear of cutesy stuff but honestly I will appreciate anything. I love Alice in Wonderland but not the disney kind. I love bugs, things with butterflies or dragonflies, fireflies well pretty much any of them.



Anyway, onto the LIST:D

Crafted Items
-Fingerless gloves (I've always wanted some of these. Preferably shorter, like to the wrist not up the arms.
-Any sort of mosaic(paper, stained glass, ceramic whatever!)
-I think an apron would be cool I'm a bigger girl though so I'd need one that has a larger front and longish ties.
I'd prefer a full front ones, I need one for cooking that can be pretty or whatever but I need one for painting type things too so that's fine with just whatever fabric.
-Any sort of house shoes or slippers for my cold tile great room. (i have big feet though, size womens 11)
-Any sort of decorated little tins or boxes, or wooden or that cardboard or paper mache containers. I have a ton of smaller things and I have a thing for small little organizational containment devices ha.
-Handmade soaps I prefer the cold or hot pressed types. No lavender please.
-Any kind of lip balm or chap stick.
-Hand spun yarn any color
-Any stationery or note cards with neat or pretty designs.
-Anything that you think I would like or inspired by my wists: www.wists.com/lindsayrose

Things I'd like to learn/Kits I'd appreciate
I am constantly looking to learn new crafts so even if I don't list it on here if you have a craft you enjoy and its easy to put a little starter kit together I would love it!

-Resin anything I'm really interested in it.
-Soap making
-Cross stitching I'd really love even just one of the tiny little projects to start.
-I really want to start learning how to spin yarn on a spindle so any roving
-I'm also interested in cake decorating or cupcake making so any sort of little supplies that go along would that would be appreciated.
-Kind of unrelated but I am trying to learn how to cook more of a variety of foods and my boyfriend and I are trying to eat healthier so a little recipe book or some recipe cards with easier healthier foods would be awesome.

Supplies
-Yarn! (Any color any weight)
-Any crochet hook besides size G
-Any buttons that have the loops. Like the kind without the holes.
-Any old craft magazines or any crochet ones.
-Jewelry making supplies (Primarily lobster claw fasteners, thin chains, headpins- glass beads area always welcome)

Random Stuff
-I love dark chocolate
-My kitten loves getting presents he loves felt and socks haha
-Scraps of patterned papers and ephemera are always fun


Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Jen, I will be turning 27 on the 13th. I think I'm spending my birthday taking my daughter to see the new Disney princess movie! I live in Wisco right now with my parents to save a ton of money to move out to Brooklyn, NY to live with my bf/partner/baby daddy in the fall of 2010. I am very excited about it.

I am a stay at home mom, I spend my day running around with my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She loves to create, so when I'm doing something crafty she is usually coloring or painting. It's fun.

I did my first craft show the other day and now I think I may have craft show fever...

I love pretty much all things crafty. I love to wear really funky dangle earrings, I love bold statement type necklaces. I can't crochet to save my life...so anything crochet is AWESOME! I also really admire homemade soaps, not melt and pour, I do those. I like vintage pin-ups and erotica. I make jewelry, knit, basic sewing, and paper crafts.

To get a good idea of what I like take a look at my wists, also if you click on my etsy store, then my favorites I have another list of things I really like.

Hello!  I’m Agnes, and I’m currently a university student in Toronto, Canada!   My birthday’s on December 2nd, so as a result I will probably be spending my actual birthday studying for my exams.  I mainly crochet, but I dabble in lots of other crafts as well.  My favourite colours are blue (think the darker side of blue though, like navy, indigo), green, black, purple, and any other deep dark colour like maroon. I’m obsessed over anything tiny and delicate, and anything that’s nautical, woodsy, fall, wintery or night themed makes me pretty happy too.  I also like Disney (just not the pink Disney princesses stuff though, don’t like pink much), penguins, Harry Potter, Narnia, and LOTR.    If you need more info let me know, but I think my wists reflect my style and the kinds of colour combinations I like pretty well.

So...Onto the list!

Crafts:
-something off or inspired by my wists!  http://www.wists.com/thedreamer

-a nice tote for my school books; not too big but big enough to throw in a textbook or two and a pencil case, maybe with some inside pockets, and preferably a closure of some sort.  
A simple style like this: (pleats are not necessary) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35755645
or maybe something like this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26050942  or http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=20985482 or http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35069180

I just really need a sturdy bag for everyday use  

-a purse/WIP bag would be lovely too; something like this (I liked the style of the handles): http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=21097238

-laptop bag (with handles and a strap, not just the sleeve)- I’ve been looking everywhere for one that fits my 16” laptop, but they only seem to make them to 15’4!

-mini crochet hook roll (for travel) like this; I usually take around 1-2 hooks with me, plus a pair of scissors and a yarn needle: http://ny-image3.etsy.com//il_fullxfull.107522535.jpg

-crochet stitch markers (basically stitch markers that are open/hooks, or can be opened)

-steampunk jewelry- this one was cool, but I just like steampunk in general (the one with the key hanging off): http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=315020.0

-miniature polymer clay charms (of anything, really) - I’m always in awe of how people manage to make things like that!

-a little coin purse with a snap opening like this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30402978

-any scarf other than crocheted- knitted, screen printed, sewn, etc.  It gets chilly in Canadian winters. Thanks Tygir!

-a handmade journal/notebook

-something book related like bookmarks, book plates, etc Thanks Tygir!

-jewelry (other than earrings, I don't have pierced ears): I like simple pieces, prefer silver tones over gold, and adore whimsical pieces with moving parts, like lockets



Supplies:
-kits or supplies to try: polymer clay sculpting, book binding, tatting
-wooden/bamboo crochet hooks- I hear about these all the time but they don’t seem to sell these here.  I commonly use F-K hooks, but any size would be lovely
-book lockets- can’t seem to find some without a cross on the front: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35421625
-purse handles- I've wanted to try making crochet purses with real handles instead of just crocheting them, but they don't sell in the craft stores here...
-plastic safety eyes, 4-15mm.  strangely enough the store in my area sells only 18mm eyes
-any yarn!  A girl can never have too much yarn  
-crochet patterns- there’s some awesome penguin and teddy bear patterns I've been drooling after from PlanetJune


Others:
-probably not possible, but I’ve really, really wanted this for awhile: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=3279959
-dark chocolate, or just chocolate in general like ferrero rocher
-tea, hot chocolate, French vanilla; keeps me up during exams!
