Sweat shoppe swap round 2! Sign ups closed (the LIST on pg 25)

[hertrigger]

oh, these tampons have been pulled on, chewed on and everything else a dog can do, and its still in tact, perfect.. these are little dogs and usually tear SHOES to peices! just so you know

GOOD! I now have more confidence that these tampons won't easily fray or come apart in their more intended uses! I think I might use your quote as a testimonial/selling point!

go ahead! i give you my word to use my words hehe..

i thought id let you know, these are tampons of steel. or something

I have been thinking about having a stash of the things I don't use(necklaces, etc) for birthdays,etc that pop up (ok, for the ones I don't remember) before I have a chance to craft something for them.  That way they still have a wonderful handmade gift that I don't have to stress over. 

You know looking at it that way, I don't think I'll put a least favorite, because I can think someone that would love everthing listed.     They just aren't all for me.

Wow, 34 items....and i'm only going to get 10....
if I do sign up for a 3rd item I'm thinking about making it a small 2X3 in(or soish)felted coin purse with a zipper.
Does that sound good?
Or is that to close to verycrafty's something felted?

No, verycrafty is doing felted bowls I think... it doesn't even matter if 3 people do coin purses... you are right, it would be soooo cool to have some of these hand made items (with business cards or cute tags...) to put in the gift drawer, for that little thank you, or to add to a birthday package! I LOVE to give hand made items! And frankly everyone around me is getting sick of hemp washclothes!!!

Hey can everyone take a look at the list and make sure that if you have officially decided (if you were undecided) or if you have added a second or third item, that it is on the list? I am trying to check and make sure I have everyone's entries updated! Thanks!

Felted bowls would be soo cool, I'm getting closer and closer on deciding on doing a 3rd item, but alot will depend on how much I get done this weekend.  I plan on doing a lot of crafts, have to finish my firefly swap stuff too. I'm really excited about this swap(if you couldn't already tell)

[verycrafty]

the felted bowls aren't that big. I have been meaning to post a picture of them but I haven't decided whether I wanted to do the bowls or some little heart felted tray thingies.... :-/

But I just might do both....

Here are a couple example of what my mini cards look like:





The sets of cards you would be receiving would contain 5 envelopes and 5 cards.  The cards are the size of a 3x5 card (when unfolded) and fit snugly inside the envelopes.  I will be PMing for color/occasion preferences.

I am leaning more and more towards making a 3rd set of items but not sure yet what they'll be....I'll probably just make more of my stationary or cards.   What do you guys think?? (javastain - I'll PM you to confirm after I've decided what I'll be making)

I am also leaning towards making a 3rd set of items but I can't decide what to make.  I can knit some more scarves but it is summer right now...
