Details of swap:
This is a pinterest swap, meaning that your fellow craftsters will claim you for something you have pinned on your pinterest site.  If you don't have a pinterest but are interested, go here www.pinterest.com to request one or PM one of the organizers your email address to request an invite.

If you are late in the April swap, please do not sign up until you send.  You will not be accepted.  Also please note that this swap requires that you communicate with your partner and the organizer.  Please send a PM when you claim, when you send, and when you receive.  People who consistently fail to communicate will be asked to take a break from the Pinterest swap and maybe try again in two months.

Please do not post in the thread until you have been approved by the organizer. This thread is for lists only. Only post once. If you need to change/add something, simply "Modify" your post. The discussion/gallery thread is located here. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=407970.0 Post as soon as possible after signing up so we know you have found the thread and that you are getting updates.

FAQ: Please READ

How does this swap work?
You may choose from anyone's pinterest board once they have posted a link and bio in this thread.  This is not a chain list swap; its more of a free for all swap.  However, when possible it is nice to claim from those who haven't been claimed or who have claimed more than they have been claimed for.  You have two weeks from the date you claim to send your item on its way to the lucky recipient.  Remember to PM the organizer and the recipient when you claim and send.  Also send a PM to the organizer and your sender when you receive.  You may have up to 2 outstanding (not received) claims.  Please include the swap name and month in your subject line!  Please make sure to tell me who you are claiming, sending to, or receiving from.  If you are FOC you may have up to 3 outstanding claims.  Everyone MUST make at least one claim.
 
What should my bio and link look like?
Once you have been approved, you may post in the list thread.  There is no one way to do this but please be sure your bio includes the following:
         - your location and a brief bio (include allergies in red please)
         - your Pinterest link
         - list of boards that are to be used for this swap, or simply say something like "all my boards are game"
         - whether you are okay with supply claims

What do I need to send?
This swap is for either one medium or 2-3 small items for each claim.  A medium item is one that takes 2 or more hours, $10 - $30, some examples are a single necklace or bracelet or a scarf.  A small item is one that takes 2 or less hours, $10 or less, some examples are earrings/wallets/pouches/bookmarks.

How do the organizers ensure that claims are even?
We don't. But we do try.  One way is that we highlight your name when you have claimed more times than you have been claimed.  We ask that people claim from those that haven't been claimed yet or who have claimed more often than they have been claimed, but there is no guarantee that if you send 5 times that you will receive 5 items.  In fact, theoretically it is quite possible to not get claimed at all.  If this is a major concern for you and you know you would miserable if things were not always even, this may not be the swap for you.  However, I will say that for the most part this is not a big problem in this swap so far.  

How closely does the item I send need to resemble the item pinned?
It depends on who you are claiming.  Read the bios carefully.  Read the pins carefully.  Some of us pin items for inspiration and are fine with items that are simply inspired by our pins.  Others would like the item to look as close to the pin as possible.

What happens if I am flaked on?
If you are flaked on, you will only receive an angel for as many packages as you have sent.  If you were claimed for 3 packages and you sent 2 packages and one package was flaked on - you will not receive a swap angel.

What do I do if I'm not being claimed?
If you are not being claimed, it might be time to consider your pins.  Do you have enough variety?  Are there enough small and medium items?  Do you have items pinned that require a variety of crafty mediums (ex: knitting, crocheting, sewing, beading, embroidery, etc...)?  Are your pins realistically craftable?  You should shoot for at least 20-30 pins (this includes only those pins you want to be claimed); maybe more if most of your items are on the large side or primarily in one crafty medium.  We have some talented folks on here... but not everyone can do all crafts.  If you find you aren't being claimed...try adding more pins.  

I hear a rumor that there is a giveaway; is this true?
YES!  It is true.  Each month, there is a giveaway.  You get one entry into the random drawing for each claim you make.  At the end of the month, we'll use a random number generator and that lucky person will receive a crafted item or crafty supply.  We cannot tell you what the item might be upfront because we like to cater it to the winner's interests and needs.  Also randomly but not necessarily every month, there might be additional giveaways so make sure to stay up to date on the discussion thread so you don't miss out!
 

IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, REMEMBER TO SEND THE FOLLOWING INFO TO BOTH ORGANIZERS VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE:

QUESTIONNAIRE:
Name of swap: May Pinterest
Craftster username
Email address
Your real name
Mailing address including the country
Confirm that are at least 16 years old or, if not, that you have moderator approval(YES/NO)
Your Pinterest link:  

Also, remember to read the Swap Info Guide to find other rules about participating in a swap.

Hey everyone! I'm Jessie. I live in Roswell, NM, USA.

I am a SAHM to a 5 year old boy, 2 year old girl, and a new baby. They all love to get stuff in swaps as much as I do. Here is the link to my Pinterest board specifically for my kids, though I'm sure you can find inspiration for them on some of my other boards as well: http://pinterest.com/jexxican/little-people/ Need info for sizing or anything just ask!

No allergies. I do have a cat and a dog, though unless you're making something for them I guess it doesn't matter too much, does it?

Not really any major dislikes. I like to think I'm pretty eclectic.

As for the whole pinterest thing: All of my boards are open to interpretation, though I would really not like anything from the "If I wore jewelry" board because I really don't wear jewelry, though like I said, feel free to be inspired by it. The same with my "art" board, really. I don't have a lot of wall space, though I do have a hoopla wall so feel free to make something for that. I prefer function to form. I would really rather get something that is inspired by something on my boards rather than an exact duplicate. Supplies are cool, but I am kind of trying to destash a little. Except my fiber. For some reason I'm trying to build a stash there, so if you want to send me something from my "Fibery Awesomeness" board you would be my best friend. "Supplies" off of my "Books" board would be super., too. Wink
http://pinterest.com/jexxican

Colors and tastes: I wear a lot of blue, but like purples. Relaxing they are. I also really dig fall colors, being a redhead and all. I already mentioned I'm pretty eclectic elsewhere. I'm not usually very girly. Russ is all boy and LOVES orange. Alice is a girly tom-boy. And my husband is straight up nerd. The board "Nerdery" is all about him. I think that's all there is to us. Feel free to be inspired to create for any of us.

Hi all! My name’s Arzeena and am currently a science-studying student. While I love Maths and chemistry, crafting help keeps me sane! I live on a small island called Mauritius, just a dot on the world map! Cheesy
I don’t have any particular allergies you need to be wary of, but I don’t really like the smell of cigarette smoke
For some info on me: My fav colours include silver and purple, but I kinda like grey and black for clothes. I love stripes, and anything nature-related (my pinterest has much of nature-inspired things ^_^) All boards are free for inspiration, except the “Tutorials to remember” board.
My Pinterest link: http://pinterest.com/moonlitsun/
Totally okay to receive supply items ^_^
Oh, and i do prefer useful items to purely decorative ones Smiley

Thanks for claiming me ^_^

Hey guys, I am Lindy and I live in Arizona with my boyfriend, two kids, dogs and cats.  We just bought our first home in June and I have been having all kinds of fun decorating!

My honey doesn't "get" crafted items so don't worry about him  Wink  My kids are Adia (11) and Landon (7) who have their own board and would love anything from it. Adia's room is neon pink and black and white zebra striped even though her favorite colors are blue and green.  She loves stuffed animals, kittens, Justin Bieber, and is starting to care about jewelry and such.  Landon is all boy and loves all things Star Wars and Lego. They both like to draw and color.

I love just about all colors (except yellow and orange) but am finding myself really drawn to turquoise/aquamarine/teal type shades lately.  I would love to do my craft room in pink/mauve teal and grey.  As for clothing I tend to wear A LOT of black and a lot of cardigans. I like to use bright accessories for a pop of color.  I love turtles, tattoos, skulls, birds, Harry Potter, books, scarves, hats, hair clips, make-up, jewelry, and crafting.  I have started a collection of altered spoons, felt badges, and keys. 

Please feel free to claim from any of my boards labeled __________ wants and the crafty ideas board.  I do not need exact replicas of any item pinned so feel free to use them as inspiration.  I am also totally okay with receiving supplies.

I'm Kari from Wisconsin. I'm married with three kids (Kamilla-10, Alivia-7, Dalton-5) and am a bartender.

I like most any color but prefer dark (burgundy, royal purple, brown...). I like gypsy, goth and romantic styles. Halloween is a huge deal in our house but I'm not that into vampires and zombies. If you think of something you think I may like, please PM me so we can discuss, I'm very easy going and you'll probably think of something I'd like that I didn't know that I would like. 

Use boards from Make this for us to Aprons. Be as creative as you would like with the signs and even though I have "For Gifts" I would like to receive these items also. Use my boards for inspiration, I don't think there are any pins that need to be exactly what the pic is. I am fine with supply claims. You may see some pins with **, these are items that rock my world. Please PM me for sizes of any clothes, hats, jewelry. I'm plus size and my kids are interesting shapes.

Allergies
Me: wool against my skin (hats, gloves, etc unless they are lined), eucalyptus, patchouli, seafood (not sure if this would be a concern) and cats if they roll around and leave a ton of dander/hair on things
Alivia: cats (same as me), perfume-y lotions, some foods

    Hi everyone. I live in a sleepy little town in Iowa. I don't get out much, so I spend most of my time crafting. I knit, crochet and carve stamps. I love sewn items, but can't sew. I live with my boyfriend (8 years on May Eight) and our small dog (Sissy, who is afraid of everything). My favorite color is pink. I also love purple, blue, bright colors and pastels. I am not a big fan of dark colors and earth tones. I love "cutesie" patterns, like hearts, flowers, butterflies, cupcakes, ect. I also like paisley. My tastes are similar to a 6 year old girl's  Smiley  I don't have any allergies.

    All my boards are fair game except "Things I've Made". My pins are just for inspiration. I don't expect the exact item. Usually I like what function the item serves and don't care how it is made (ie. I might pin a side loading case for my laptop, but any case would be wonderful).

    I have no problems with supplies claims. It is very hard to get supplies here. Those can be loosely biased too (ie a different but similar type of yarn, though yarn isn't a good example since I like all yarn   Cheesy).

It is now okay to claim from "Christmas Gifts". Just please avoid any of the food items. I am starting to collect birthday/holiday gifts for my parents (and others) so I would love it if someone could claim me from my family board. The plan is to have tons of little gifts for them this Christmas (their birthdays are coming up too). I didn't start early enough last year. I won't have that problem this year  Wink

I love getting things for my family. So I will post their likes here. Any items I mention are pinned. Let inspiration strike. It doesn't matter if what you make/claim is very loosely based on a pin.

  • Parents
They live in the southwest and love the southwest theme (in any form/medium). The also foster animals (cats and small dogs) for their local shelter, so any pet toys/clothing/etc are good gifts for them. The both like their local college football team. A team/college shirt or bag would be good for either of them. They have 2 dogs and 1 cat of their own.

Dad love shirts. Any type or medium (stenciled, sewn, silkscreen, printed, etc). He has a hard time finding shirts in his size, so he usually ends up with the weird ones no one else wants from the discount rack at walmart. And he loves those weird shirts. His favorite was just a basic shirt that said “I AM HIP HOP” he found for $3. Actually, he wore it out so I would LOVE it if someone could make him one.
 
He also likes homemade soap (any type) the Detroit lions, Elvis, spongebob, his kindle fire, and his dog Rosita. Rosita loves playing ball and car rides. He pretty much likes anything and any colors (well, he won’t wear pink or "girly" colors).

Mom likes blue. There is no color she dislikes. She isn't a fan of paisley.
She is learning to sew. I would love to get her some homemade labels (or just some store bought labels that say homemade on them).

  • Boyfriend
His area is decorated like a medieval castle. He has started adding some steampunk design to it. He has a whole wall with gears, dials, and such.

  • BF's Grandkids
3 boys (ages: 1, 6, and 7) and 1 girl around 4 years old.

Hi All! My name's Melissa,
I live in a tiny town in Maine, and my boyfriend and I have purchased our first home a little over a year ago. I am still in full-on decorate mode. We have 3 kitties (although they're usually hiding in the yard) and an extra energetic Lab mix, who is out of her mind, but we love her anyway.
I have relied heavily on Pinterest for home decorating inspiration, as well as to expand my crafting realm. I have this habit of never letting a medium I've never worked with stop me. I love it all! My goal is to have as many unique and handmade items customizing my surroundings as possible. I fall in love everyday with the talents I see in this community. If you allow me the pleasure of your claim, please feel free to use any board you like as inspiration. I fully encourage your creativity and personal spin on any pin you choose, exact replicas are fine too, but not necessary. All boards are fair game, but you'll probably have the best luck in Crafty Cuteness, For the Home, Bag Love, Jewels and Gems, and My style.
The Create a BIGGER Stash board has inspiring supplies, I would adore anything, including supplies. I am currently trying to build a huge fabric supply since sewing is currently dominating my time. I am also beginning needle felting, and fibers can be hard to find.
Colors I LOVE: (there's not a whole lot of limitation here) : Teals, Purple, Greens, autumn colors are found all through my home.
Styles: I love nature inspired themes I spend lots of time outdoors, I have a fascination with hummingbirds. Prints of all kinds I love (not a huge fan of the whole red,white,blue combo)
I love pin-up style and anything in that era as well. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe,all of that.
My boyfriend is a musician on the side, we are very music inspired, and have a room devoted to classic rock and 90's music is a guilty pleasure Smiley Would love music inspired wall art and New England sports team themed items!

 ** I forgot this link last night when I posted.... minor right? You all have telpathy  Tongue
Thanks for reading through, I am so excited to go board stalk <3

Hello! My name is Cady and I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and our 4-year-old son Max. I'm a full time student and stay at home mom.

I love purple, dragons, geeky stuff, and earrings. You will notice a complete absence of clothing for me - let's keep it that way. Max loves trains and animals the best.

Please, nothing scented, and try to keep projects away from smoke and furry pets.

My Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/saintcady/

The best boards to choose from are the top ones. There are six labeled Swap Potential and roughly divided up by type or medium. Feel free to just take inspiration from some of the others (like the Quotes & Signs board, or Geek Joy, or Kid Stuff). I do have a board of craft supplies I covet as well and one for craft books. Probably steer away from the Projects I've Done board. Items I've already received or that I'm expecting from someone else are noted in the comments or have been moved to the received board. I'm happy to answer any questions! Thank you in advance! <3

Hi, I’m Deanna and I live in sunny AZ!  I’m excited to be able to play this month and I’m looking forward to stalking everybody’s boards!

If you choose to claim me, most of my boards are suitable, and use any you like for inspiration (exact replicas not required).  The ones that probably won’t be much help to you are Upholstery Fabric, How Bizarre, The Best Medicine, For Me?, My Craftiness is Showing, I’m An Artist Here’s my Card, Someday Grandbabies, Gift & Swap creation Inspiration and my food boards. 

My kids would also be happy with goodies – "Gifts for my kiddos" is where to look for ideas for them.  I’m starting the Christmas preparations earlier this year!  Cheesy

If you need sizes or additional info, please let me know. 

Supply  items gladly received!  I have a board for that, actually…

No allergies, but I’m not a big fan of cigarette smoke aroma.  Wink

Hi y'all!
A bit about me:
   My name is Hannah and I'm a student at Florida State University. I am an Elementary Education major and I am moving into my first house, to room with four other girls,  at the beginning of next school year. We are planning to call our place “The Nest.” Something I find neat about the swap process is how everyone interprets the pinned item, and I don't necessarily desire exact replicas of the things on my boards. =)
Allergies:
 I'm allergic to smoke and teak oil.

My pinterest can be found at: http://pinterest.com/hla10/ and all my boards are game, except the Serendipitous Crochet board. Unless you have a pattern for a cute crochet bird that is flat, then I would like to have that. Boards you should definitely check out are the ones with Swap in the title, and the one titled Next Year, The Nest. I  love wall art.
***It may seem that I'm obsessed with birds, and I guess I am, but that is going to be the major decorating theme for our house. I really need some sort of wall hook set-up for the front entry-way and would love any of the ones on my boards. =)

I will be adding more swap potential boards as the days go by.

I am ok with supply claims.

****I would love it if someone would do something with the Keep Calm and go to STP image on my 'Helping me to be like Jesus' board.

Hi everyone!! My name is Karri & some of my friends do actually refer to me as Zombie or Zombs. I currently reside in Las Vegas, but I am originally from Dallas, Texas. I miss some things from there, but have come to realize I will probably never go back. If all goes well I will be relocating to Southern California in January. YAY!

Allergies: Horribly allergic to Tide detergent & Poison perfume. From swapping I learned I am also allergic to rabbit & rat dander. Which sucks because I really am an animal lover.

Pinterest boards (http://www.pinterest.com/vegaszombie): All of my boards are open for interpretation & claiming. Even the one labeled "Stuff I want to try to make." I find that people's interpretation of things is what is most fun about swaps. So even if I make the same thing, it won't actually be the same. I think I changed the sizes on the clothing if you choose something from that board, however please feel free to ask as I am built wonky.

Please note that if you choose to make something for Rascal he is the most allergic dog on the planet. He cannot have chicken, corn or wheat. He cannot wear anything other than cotton. Eating or wearing other stuff causes him to become itchy like whoa & he loses his hair. Bald wieners are not attractive or pleasant. ha ha

Supply claims are absolutely acceptable. With that, please don't think that it has to be EXACTLY what is on that board. I use all kinds off off the wall stuff in my projects.

Hello all. My name is Haley, you can call me that or my nickname Critter. I am currently living in VA though am orginally from Connecticut. I'm a current high school Junior who likes to pretend she has free time.

-Allergies: Not allergic but please no leather or wool. And please nothing smelling of smoke.
-Pinterest Boards: All boards except "Food", "Random", and "food blogs" are fair game. Spirituality/religion board-mainly inspiration, feel free to ask questions. On all boards anything with one (or several) *<3* emoticons is something I think is totally awesome/would love to have. Really don't need more clothes.
-Colors: purple, green, blues, nature colors, black (love black and purple, not a crazy fan of grey)
-Themes: Nature, Ocean, HP, fantasy, the camp I work at (Wolfin house: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/anash/camp/hogwarts/index.htm contact me for more info), animals (cats, dolphins/marine creatures, cute owls)
-Things I love: camp, Girl Scouts, animals/cats, working with kids/volunteering, reading, writing, technology
-Favorite HP Things: Luna Lovegood, Hermoine, magical creatures, Dobby, Weasleys, Ravenclaw house probably
-Pinterest Link: http://pinterest.com/critter10/

Basically, I'm open to anything. I prefer useful items. This swap is soo awesome.

I’m Rachel I’m 22 and live with my fiancé Nick and our 10 month old baby boy Louis in the UK. We have just bought our first house together and are trying to get it just how we want it. . I tend to prefer useful things over just decorative ones, I love reading and I’m a massive gamer (mainly Nintendo but also 360 and roleplaying) I love owls, Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, cupcakes, rockabilly / 50s style, robots, Harry Potter, tattoos, stripes, polka dots, peacocks, dinosaurs, rainbows, Doctor Who, The Big Bang Theory, Red Dwarf, technology, anything geeky, kayaking, Angry Birds, buttons, badges and a million other things that I can’t think of right now. =]
None of us are allergic to anything but if the item is for Louis then I’d prefer it not to have been around smoke.
Pre-loved stuff is fine and supplies are always great.


Pinterest boards
Go for it

All the other boards are things I have pinned for work, to remind me of stuff or things I want to make for other people.

I'm in the Ongoing wish swap 82 and my list of things on there are the things I would most love to receive, anything from my pinterest would be great though!

Feel free to use the things I have pinned as inspiration, things don't need to be an exact copy.

HELLO!! My name is Ashley and I currently reside in Omaha, NE and am a recent college grad.  I'm starting to get antsy and the job search has been pretty slow so I love swaps like these that give me something to work on.

Overall my style is pretty eclectic. I'm not super picky but I'd prefer if you stick with the
CRAFTSTER PINTEREST SWAP BOARD
and
THINGS TO MAKE   ( since I haven't even begun to make anything for myself based off of Pinterest ideas Cheesy  )
I really admire embroidery hoops, but I'm good on them for now. Also, I don't like the color orange. That's about all.


I love jewel tones and purples, but I have a board dedicated to all kinds of color schemes that I love.
Feel free to use them for inspiration!!

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay and I live in south Florida. I am a recent graduate with my BA and I work full time in customer service. I have been married for just over 2 years and my husband doesnt craft at all.

I am allergic to CATS. Just an FYI.

I guess any of my boards are fair game. If you have any questions, just ask. Happy Pinning.
