Details of swap:
This is a 3-point Bird swap (even tho the title suggests it is a "Portlandia" swap; this is a BIRD swap).
You and your partner will exchange crafted bird items according to each other's likes (types of birds, colors, type of items). You will have one month to craft and send. You must agree, according to Craftster swap guidelines, to use a Delivery Confirmation slip in the USA and if sending overseas or over continents, saving your postal receipts, in case of delivery issues. YOU MUST COMMUNICATE, with your partner, with your organizer and in the discussion thread.
You and your partner MUST AGREE if sending extras - so each partner is satisfied with their package.(This question will be on the questionnaire.) Understand also that you may receive something you didn't have on your list but that it is a reflection of your partner's crafting abilities. I can't knit or crochet so I won't be making any knitted or crocheted items. But I might ask for them in my questionnaire. That doesn't mean you have to make me that specific thing. I will try to match up partners according to like and dislikes.
