Details of swap:
Welcome to round 2 (ding ding) of the Stash Swap. This time around you will be able to get to know your partner a little bit better since you will be swapping with them for quite some time. The same idea goes as before, you may only craft for your partner using items you have available in your stash. You may not go out and purchase anything except packaging and postage! So on to the details:

1st send out (no DC# required):
* a letter introducing yourself
* a small crafted item (something that can fit in a small envelope or takes less than an hour to make)

2nd send out (must include DC#):
* a wearable item (scarf, necklace, belt, etc.)
* a functional item (bag, knitting needle holder, ipod cozy, etc.)

3rd send out (must include DC#):
* fill a (minimum) 8 x 10 envelope with items from your stash (ask your partner what they would like)
* a (small) stress relief craft (scented items, stress ball, organizer, eye pads, etc.)

4th send out (must include DC#):
* a large item, something that takes several hours + to make
* a final letter telling your partner how much fun you've had

I will be requiring periodic check-ins. You will need to post on this thread at least once before each send out, and you must PM your partner at least once before each send out. Please remember to PM both your partner and me with a DC# when you have sent. Thanks. Now let's get this started!

**IMPORTANT: Because this swap requires a lot of time and commitment I am tweeking the requirements a bit. 1. You must have been a member of craftster for at least 3 months -OR- You must have made at least 45 posts. 2. You must have participated in at least one swap prior, with positive feedback.
