Description:

This was fun the last time, and I'm trying to do more handmade swaps so I think I'll do these every 4-6 weeks till nobody wants to do it anymore. :)

For this swap you will post below a list of 10 things you want that can be handmade. When you get your partner you will choose two items from their list to make and send them.

Some rules for making your wish list:

-Think broad, not specific. For example: "an amigurumi" instead of "a green and purple amigurumi seamonster" or "something with cupcakes" intead of "a pink sequined cupcake wristlet."

-Choose things from a variety of mediums rather than, say, 10 items that have to be knitted.

Some helpful hints for fulfilling your partner's wishes and making a heart-worthy package:

-Don't be afraid to try somthing new! You don't have to stick with things you've always made.

-Check out your partner's profile to make their items extra special.

-See if you can combine two or more items from the list into one. For exmple if your partner wants something with frogs on it and some handmade note cards, you could make some frog notecards for one of your items.

-Consider any any dislikes in your partner's profile too.

-If you've already got something made that you know your partner will love, go ahead and send it!

No one wants to work hard on a handmade item and get nothing, or a crappy package, in return. Therefore ths swap will only be open to established swappers with at least 5 hearts and a 4.9 or higher. You must have your list posted below before the close date or I will drop you. Also if your list is blatantly disregarding the guidelines set forth above, I will drop you. I want this to be fun for your partner, not a total nightmare. K?
