Awww...Fluffy!

      Pardon me for intruding on your lovely swap but......

I DON'T KNOW HOW, AFTER TWO YEAR OF BEING ON CRAFTSTER, THAT I HAVE NEVER EVER CLICKED ON THIS SWAP!! It's AMAZING!

  Thanks to jillybeans getting her bookmarks on the hot projects list a little while back, I became curious...then fiercely interested. What an awesome idea to be able to "shop" other crafter's things as well as "sell" your own! Geezus there were SO MANY THINGS I wanted!! 
   So now that the Holidays are here and I have nothing to do, I've decided that I will be making merchandise for the next STS. And I'm confident that I'll be able to claim from the vendors I want to because they've been in the last 6 STS's I've scoured. 

 Whoever thought up this swap was brilliant. And thank you alteredmommy and loves2experiment for keeping it going

I just want to thank loves2experiment and alteredmommy for organizing yet again! It must be a full time job running this swap and I just love it! Thanks ladies and thanks to everyone that made neat stuff for me to trade for, I wish I could trade crafts for everything in life

IsikkahJai : I hope you do join! I will be crafting as well, my shop desperately needed to be cleaned out (and thanks to this swap it nearly did) and now I need to fill the gaps! It is such an excellent swap, my favorite for sure.

I'm starting my black friday sale a little early! You now get a 1/2pt item free for every 1pt you spend!

I've also added a couple super cute ornaments to my shop.

You definitely should join IsikkahJai. This swap is loads of fun.

jenleahlynn, those bookmarks are fab!  love what you did with them

and yes, this is one of my fav swaps as well!  
i love the variety of crafts that show up in this swap (the stsers are a talented group!) and i think the people in this swap are swell!

i believe the next round starts in february...so we'll have plenty of time to recover from the holiday madness and restock our shops with new goodies

Please join and tell your friends!  The more the merrier.

this was the first time i 've done this swap, and now that it's almost finished i've learned a couple lessons. i did not have my shop up and running soon enough, and i was way to hesitant to use those initial 3 points. that didn't give me much time to earn them back, and to make additional claims. it all slows down towards the end of the swap.

i've only started doing swaps this fall. how many times a year do you do shop the swap? i assumed it was only at christmas.

in the past, the sts swap was a monthly event.

this is the first time we've hosted it using a quarterly format...and it looks like we'll be trying this format for a couple more rounds  

so mark your calendars (february 2013) for the spring market swap

I definitely like the format of this swap, with the extended time.  Gives you much more time to claim!

Huzzah to alteredmommy and loves2experiement!  You guys do an awesome job!

Now, time to go edit some pictures and add them to shop!  

Alright, the long awaited ceramic buttons are now in my shop!

I have some bright yellow-green ones glazed and waiting to be fired, and depending on when that happens, they may make it into my shop before closing.  *fingers crossed!*
