Chocolate lovers around the world unite! this is a swap celebrating the sweetest confection on earth - chocolate.

We will be sending one medium crafted item, and two small crafted items, and, of course, chocolate. More is acceptable if both partners agree, and I never stand in the way of spoiling a partner, but the minimum requirement must be met. Please coordinate with your partner on the amount of chocolates sent, but I request that you spend at least $10 on chocolates unless you and your partner agree on more or less than that!

I encourage everyone to be open for international shipping! This is a great way to try new things from other countries. I also encourage people to send locally made sweets if they can.* There's plenty of stuff to send... maybe a chocolate candy-making kit, a t-shirt or mug emblazoned with your professed love of chocolate, recipe cards, jewelry, chocolate themed or colored crocheted, knitted or sewn items, magnets... anything!
!

* please note... international shipping is NOT required for this swap, simply recommended for the sheer joy of experiencing international treats!
