When we join, are we in for life or do we re-join (or drop out) monthly?

DM, that was really funny!

I'm thinking joining each individual swap would be best. So you can always jump in next time if that's better for you!

I run these all the time and just as a tip your members that join should use confirmation on the package they mail and they should PM or e-mail the confirmation to you or their partner as you call them if they are not secret. This way the person expecting the package knows its mailed out and to look for it and can track it if needed.

Good advice, I'll put that in the guidelines, thanks!

Thinking about this....
I've been involved in a christmas ornmanet exchange over the years...I still have several that I've gotten....so fun to do. But never done just a 'craft' exchange...so give me an idea of the things that you exchange???

DM~ You made me laugh outloud...I enjoy your humor!

I didn't limit what was to be exchanged for a reason, and that is because there are many different types of crafters here on the forum, so I figure that everybody could just "free style" and send their partner whatever they'd like to send

So, your options are unlimited!

IE if you're strong in sewing, make them a nice pillow, or a handbag, or a dress for their baby. Crocheters could send hats, throws, mittens, dolls, etc. And so on. I think it's more fun when nobody really knows what to expect!

I'm thinking eventually (if this exchange goes well!) we could experiment with themed swaps...for Christmas, ornaments. Etc. But for now I'm going to just let everybody be creative and make whatever they want!
