Swap name: Ongoing Offer What You Have (Crafts or Supplies) Swap
Craftster member who is organizing this swap: Miss Violaceous
Swap runs: January 25 through February 28
Details:
If you a) have crafts lying around that you've made
or b) enjoy making things for other people
or c) want to de-stash supplies
...then this swap is for you! To join you must have at least five things that you have made/would like to make/want to trade.
To join, first PM the organizer with your application. Once you are approved, you are free to claim something and post your list.
This is an ongoing swap: Claim an item from the list of the last person who posted, and post your own list in response. It makes a chain. When we get to the end of the month, the very last person to post a list will be the first person to post a list at the beginning of the next month.
Once someone claims from you, you have two weeks to get the package in the mail. New swappers are allowed to have one claim outstanding at any time, Friend of Craftster's get 3 claims and everyone else gets 2 claims. A claim is "outstanding" from the time you post about it to the time your partner receives it.
Do not sign up unless you are willing to send outside of your country if necessary. If the swap stalls (no one claims for several days while your list is up) you should add more items or consider combining smaller items into one package. Check out
the first round and the second round. if you need help figuring out the scope of what to put on your list. It was typically in the $5-$10 range, from a half a yard to two yards of fabric depending on weight and fanciness, small accessories, grab bags of yarn and notions, things of that nature.

Those of you who have followed my other swap postings know that I'm kind of a hardass about pictures and such, but this swap is a little different. It is important for you to thank your partner, be courteous and communicative, but a lot of the items are premade or stash, so pictures aren't crucial. However, DC numbers are mandatory for people in the U.S. sending to other people in the U.S., and everyone else must keep their receipts. I will be giving feedback in the following way:
- great swapper: for those who follow all the rules
- good/poor communication: where applicable
- sent late/early: where applicable
- no dc number: failed to comply with the rule about using a delivery confirmation number for packages within your own country
