kahluakiggy  had a great idea for a swap - Where I live Swap - it's a lot like some of the other swaps except you will send stuff that shows where you live - in my case maybe something from the Fort Worth Cowgirl museum gift shop <G> something unique to your area -  posted below is her org. post

...Does this sound interesting to anyone else?  Like, I live in Maine, so I might send some homemade blueberry jam, a homemade stuffed moose, a balsam pillow...  Someone in Key West might send a homemade sarong, a seashell necklace, etc...Ooh, I miss Key West...Would anyone be interested?

Oooh!  I cant wait!    I'll sign up once I get my positive for my first swap!  A question tho'.. is there like a set number of items to send or a price range to spend for the swap?  Just wondering.

[goatgoddess]

hummm good question - leaving that open a bit because of the variety of items that can be sent.

communication with your partner will be needed so you are both are on the same page but basically send a package you would be happy to rec. - keeping in mind weight - I always forget to check the weight of my packages

Very, very tempted.

I'll keep my eye out for this. What is the spending limit. What if I only want a non US partner? No offense, but I'd rather get things from another country.

No offense taken <g>  I understand that for sure.  I'm going to match up best I can first come first serve.  We have had people other than usa say they are going to sign up but I guess we will have to see.
I would think no more than $10-$15 - I sent a box over to England that was about that much (maybe a bit more but I got carried away) - now the shipping was $$$$$$ got to remember to pre weigh those boxes!
Of course if you craft with supplies all ready on hand that would bring the price of the swap down.

Ooooh! I just signed up! I'm so excited...

[YellowDucky]

hehe im excited. lol first swap and its going to be great

[meowari]

Come on, people! Show some pride in your city and share the goodness with others! This is such a cool idea for a swap, millions of Craftsters should be signing up for it!

I dunno if my town would be very interesting. Anyone over heard of the "famous" Sweet Vidalia Onions? I live in Vidalia, and we have onions EVERYWHERE.
And if I were to join, this would be my first swap. I would probably be too nervous to do it!
