Details of swap:
Welcome to Instant Swap 4! You sign up between now and Friday 9/16 and then you ship by TUESDAY 9/20.  You make something nice and do your best and your partner will do the same.  This is quick turn around people, so be sure you can put the effort into it this weekend!

Due to problems with previous instant swaps, any person who sends out more than a week after 9/20 without a REALLY GOOD excuse will be given negative feedback and swap angels will be called (this is not to say you should just blow off the mailout date, however). PLEASE be aware of this. I'm going to be hard about this rule from now on.  I just want everyone to receive and well, INSTANTLY!

Oh I just told my boyfriend the other night that I would cut back on swaps after I finished up the ones I had already signed up for...But I cannot resist the instant swap!!  I'm in!

[alison]

i'm so sad, i can't sign up because i am going on a 2 week vacation in a few days...

[DsgndbyRJ]

Dang it!  I one time I don't miss the sign-up period I'm out of town during the crafting period!  Ah well - will catch you on the next round hopefully!

[craftykate]

I keep saying no more swaps, but I crafted like crazy last night for my other ones and sent for a few. So I'm in.  Instant swaps are too tempting to pass up.

[gingery]

I'm sooooooo in!

[lasandri]

YAY! for everyone who's in!

for everyone who's not!

don't worry girls (and any boys) i plan on keeping the instant swaps going, as I too, much like many of you, am going to DRASTICALLY cut back on swaps.  but instant swaps seem like so much less commitment.  i'm here, i craft for the weekend and then i send. no more thinking about it for weeks on end, or if i made enough, or if my partner will like it... that's what drives ME nuts!

I completely agree. I love swaps, but the ones that are for a long time period don't fit into my lifestyle too well. They cause me too much stress. I worry about not sending enough too. I love that if I have time, I sign up, craft quickly, and send. One weekend and I'm done. That and I get something in return quickly. I'm not good at waiting for swap packages. My neighbors must think I'm nuts. I'm constantly checking the mailboxes in our apartment building and then jumping around like a spaz when there is a package for me.

I do the same thing. I check before I go to school, I check when I get home, I check all the time.  I LOVE MAIL!!!
lol. Oh man I really want to do this swap. Maybe I have enough change for shipping.....hmmmm.  Maybe my husband gets paid tomorrow.....
