Details of swap:

Make crafted items that are pagan, wiccan, or witchcraft related or something just plain great that your partner can appreciate and enjoy.  Suggestions would include altar or spellcasting items such as candles, bowls, oil blends, etc. - as well as altar cloths, statues, jewelry, decorations, stationary, or more - get creative and look at previous galleries of similar swaps for ideas if you need them!  Be creative! 
Please consider your partner's interests and requests when crafting, and feel free to contact your orgainzer with questions or worries! If you have any doubts about your partner’s interests, please ask them to make sure they will be receiving something they can use and enjoy.  Communication is vital to a positive swap experience! 

Please be prepared to craft at least 1 large, 1 medium, and 2 small items; or you can increase that if both partners are willing to do more (or if you just want to spoil your partner!). 

Blessed Be!

If you want to participate, information to send to organizer:


PLEASE PUT WWP SWAP 8 IN ALL PM SUBJECTS

Also please post at least once a week in the thread so everyone knows that we are all still working steadily towards completion of our projects. I will be asking everyone to check in on weekends - simply by posting a note in the thread to let us know you are still working and progressing towards completion of your items.

Feedback will reflect communications with organizers and on the thread so remember this as an important aspect of this swap!

Lack of communication without cause can result in your removal from this swap.

in anticipation of many more entries, Shadeweaver has kindly volunteered to co-organize with me (unless I scared her off).

It was suggested that you all might like links to wists, although I think that stalking the partner after getting one is more exciting myself, but I have added them for those who have one in tier profile. If you do not have a wist, you might want to start one! I just followed someone elses link and then logged in, added the toolbar, and started adding things. It really is pretty easy to do. If you have a wist and it is not listed and you want it added send me a PM!

I just can't stay away.  And this is going to work out perfectly, since I am leaving on holiday on November 1st.

[BetNuit]

Rhonda, thanks alot for organizing this.  I was not a member yet when round 7 sign ups were going on. Once my current swap is complete, I will definitely keep this one in mind for my next swap 

[RondaS]

that is why I decided on such a long sign up period - to give all sorts of time for people to get organized to have a place in their swaps for this one!

Ronda
Blessed Be!

[Fosca]

I'll love to be in this round too XD
I'll bookmark this and get my other swaps organized!

[AeonGoddess]

Just sent in my questionnaire. I'm very excited to learn about everybody! Now, to get my current swap finished...

if you send early and your partner gets their package, you could ask the organizer for your feedback early - you have lots of time for sign ups on this swap!

Ronda
