Details of swap:
You've seen the mosaics, marveled at the architecture, drooled over the artifacts, I think we all have so this swap is all about ancient cultures!  You will craft one time consuming item and two smaller items that have to do with  your partner's favorite ancient culture, be it Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Mayan, Aztec, Kush, or Chinese Dynasties (and more!)  This a good chance to learn something new!

[Anofeles]

So I've just sent my questionnaire. I hope there will be someone else from Europe O:)

[NotKnit]

This sounds really cool, I'll have to get to work on the questionnaire.

[Rainbowendings]

I have to do this... I have to. :| Gah, so much for stopping the swap fever! This will have to be my last one before college starts!

Exciting! Sending in my questionnaire. luckily, by June 2nd, I should be done with ALL swaps I'm in right now and can do this one before the due date (way before the due date)

[TheManicCrafter]

This is worth it. I love love love love LOVE (did I mention LOVE?) ancient cultures. It's probably a big hobby of mine to read about them. I'm excited. This is worth it. 1 more swap before I have no time to do much of anything except essays. *sighs*

[PaleAngelLex]

I plan on signing up for this. I don't have the time to fill out the app right now, but I totally will later.

[squire_inaria]

I wish sign ups were a bit longer. I'm just not completely sure I'd have a space open until the week after they close

We'll, you'd still have a bit over 3 weeks but you've got to have time, and while that's pretty easy for a work at home stay at home like me, it's not the same for everyone, do what you think is best for you

Oh no, it's not that. I'm at 5 swaps right now and just sent my package out today. I should have a space open within the week after sign ups close. I'm just not completely confident it will be before that I'd love to join in.
