FOC Only Pinterest Swap?

[StickerChic87]

Id be interested...I have quite a few things going on right now, but it would be fun to jump in at a later time!

it sounds like ows but for foc only.  i guess my interest would be in the size limit.  i am currently doing ows, but there are only so many mediums a girl can long for.  if you made this a 3-4 pt swap, and maybe gave 3 weeks to craft, that would make it different enough to gt me in.

Jo - sorry, i don't do the point system.  However, I'd be fine with making it say...one medium or 3 small items.  What does everyone think of that?

how do you do an ongoing without a point system?  so i would make somebody a large, but could get claimed for a small?

I might be interested.

Question - I currently have my "craft for me" pinboards set up so there is a different one for each craft.  Do swappers like it that way?  Or would you prefer to see them all in one board, but tagged?  (Anyone know if there's a way to search within a single board?)

I would guess it would be a standard of either 1 medium or 3 smalls.  Ongoing swaps are harder to do larges with the extra time and expense involved it can get pretty complicated.  Size choices have to be kept minimal in a list swap as well so it is fair to everyone; it is a whole lot easier to keep track of what everyone is doing if they are all required to do a medium

AM is completely right - it's way easier to do all mediums.  I could request mediums all day honestly.   But I think that 1 medium or 3 smalls would about equal out. 

The points system isn't something that Craftster holds our swaps to, it's something that some organisers like.  It just gets confusing to me as someone could send 1 item for all the points or a bunch of little items for the points or on and on...This way, everyone knows what's expected.

Its good to know what is expected

so , the difference between this and the ows would be that it is foc only?

[SevsOnlyGirl]

The differences would be:

1 - We'll use Pinterest only - no lists or wists or anything

2 - You can claim for one medium or three small items

3 - It is for FOC members only

This sounds pretty cool.

I haven't put a lot of effort into creating a wist and have yet to to sign up for pinterest.  Does anyone have any suggestions on creating a really helpful swap related pinterest.  What are some things that potential partners like to see in a pinterest?
