[PinkMafia]

I just have to say that you guys are hilaroius. Only on craftster would there be a meat swap. there's a vegan swap so I guess its the same idea but its so funny to me. Rock on with your carnivorous selves! I'm interested to see what you come up with.

[onetomatotwo]

I've just PM'd you to sign on up for this.
Yay! Meat!!

[aschnebly]

I can't imagine not eating meat... I grew up on a ranch and it was a way of life.  Now though, I can never bring myself buy red meat at the store and I just wait for my parents to bring me meat whenever they come visit.

I'm craving meat right now though and I can't wait for this swap to start!

[rackycoo]

Last day for signups.

Does anyone else want to play?

I tried to match you up according to age, swap experience, and geographic area (i.e. I didn't partner two people from the same state, because half the fun of swapping is trading with someone from an unfamiliar place).

I've sent out partner info.  If you haven't received it, please let me know.


Last thing:  I've set up a gallery at
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=57047.0.


Happy crafting!

[aschnebly]

I have to say I am soooo excited!  I'm glad this swap is finally underway!

[rackycoo]

Me, too! Nothing like a little meat for inspiration! I can't wait to see what everyone does!

[goldfinch]

Yay!!! Meaty meat meat!
Today I told my boyfriend about this swap, and his reply was, "Whaaa..?"--melded into--"...Ohhh, of course you are..." and then he finished the thought in his head--"crazy."    LOL.
Don't worry, he'll be jealous once he sees the amazing meat goodies I get, and then he'll cry. HA.

[goldfinch]

Wahoo! I received my package from Ax174! Oh man, it's so so so good. HOWEVER-- I will wait until I can post the pics on the gallery to further explain the brilliance of my package. Soon, my pretties, soon.
lol.
Thanks ax174!!!!

Were you once a vegetarian EmilyFlew?  If so, what made you eat meat again, just curious.
