SWAP DETAILS:
This swap is limited to FRIENDS OF CRAFTSTER ONLY, PLEASE!
It has been a couple of years, so we are resurrecting the FRIENDS OF CRAFTSTER RAFFLE SWAP!! This is round 11 and the theme is Winter Wonderland. You create one fabulous medium item in your 'best' style that falls under the theme "Winter Wonderland" - however you want to interpret that. This item will be your entry
into the raffle. (You could also opt to create a set of 2-3 small items in lieu of one medium)
This will be a 'raffle' style swap. You will create your medium item and post a picture of it in the swap thread no later than 8am CST on Feb 12. Everyone will have the opportunity to ooh and ahhh and dream and wish for all of the prizes before the raffle.
On the evening of Feb 12, we will randomly match swappers with prizes (taking into consideration allergies/allergens, etc). Once the matches have been made, you will receive a PM with the name/address of the person you are sending your prize to - but not the craftster username. Unless you are a super sleuth (or already know the person), you
won't know who you are sending to. Extras are NOT required (especially as you don't know who you are sending to and you will be receiving from someone else). PLEASE try to keep this a SECRET if you DO figure out who you are sending to! This way the ‘winner’ will be surprised with their ‘prize’ when it arrives
Please communicate in the thread OR by PM to the organizer ONCE a week at a minimum so we know you are still out there and crafting for the swap. If I have not seen you posting in the thread, this will be reflected in your feedback. I will check in with you when there is about 1 week left to make sure you are still in on a ‘prize’ for the drawing.
Feedback will be given when your partner has received. Please PM the organizers when you send AND when you receive so we can keep the lists updated.
Negative feedback will be given if you have not sent out by 2 weeks past the sendout date, and an angel will be found for your ‘winner.’ Seeing as this is a ‘premade craft’ raffle, and you have to have a completed item posted before the drawing…I don’t see this happening for anyone…but you never know what life has in store for you from one day to the next!
I will post a gallery for ‘prizes’ so when the ‘winner’ receives their item and may have it displayed in their home/wearing it/put it to use in some way, they may post a picture or two for us showing off their great ‘prize.’
Rule Highlights:
1. Friends of Crafster only: Not a Friend of Craftster? Join here! Support the website that supports your crafting needs
https://www.craftster.org/subscribe.php2. Items MUST be crafted and ready to go by the end of signups, as you only have 1 WEEK to send them out after signups are closed! So once you know you are approved, start crafting! If you have a ‘pre-made’ item, GREAT! This means you’re ready to go and we’ve barely begun, so post a picture and sit back and chat us up ‘til signups close!
3. Photos of all 'prizes' are DUE NO LATER than 8am CST on Feb 12 so everyone has an opportunity to see what will be offered before the drawing and sendouts. If you do not post a picture by this date or at all, it will be noted in your feedback, as this IS a requirement for this swap to be a success. If you absolutely CANNOT post a picture, please PM me before signing up.
4. Swap is for: one (1) medium item (Medium = 2 or more crafting hours OR $10-$30 dollars) Can also be a pair/set of 2-3 small items to equal 1 medium. Please PM me if you have questions about your item offered.
5. Prizes must be mailed out by Feb 19, 2014. Packages within the US must have a tracking number. International shippers should keep their receipt.
