Summer Craft Swap
March 30th, 2007 by Candace
UPDATE: The swap entry is now closed. We will be doing another towards the end of the summer, so if you didn’t get a chance to participate in this one, have no fear, you’ll get another chance.
UPDATE: Due to the amount of participants already signed up, we’ve decided to close the swap entry on Tuesday, April 3. If you want to sign up, hurry and do so before Tuesday at 12 noon, EST.
While we missed the opportunity to do Valentine’s day and Easter craft swaps, we’ve decided to do one for the summer. This can include anything that you love about summer – flowers, butterflies, birds, whatever, and can range from sunglass cases to beach totes. You’ll just need to get a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box (11-7/8 x 3-3/8 x 13-5/8 inches) and stuff it as full as you can. Shipping will cost you $8.10 regardless of weight or destination (in the continental U.S.). Now, for all the technicals:
1) Drop us an email (gals@craftydaisies.com) to let us know if you will be participating in the swap. Please include your name, web or blog address (if you have one), shipping information, and if you would ship internationally. Also, tell us a little about yourself, if you have any children, what your favorite crafts are, anything that you love or are interested in. Sign up will begin today and continue until Friday, April 6 Tuesday, April 3. Once you email us, we will be contacting you by Monday, April 9 to let you know who you will be sending your swap items to.
2) If you sign up you must complete the swap or you will not be eligible for participation in future swaps. If you are unable to send your items, for whatever reason, you must contact the swap admin (Candace) as soon as possible. Please be mindful that this needs to be reciprocal – if you sign up, please follow through. In the same regards, we will try and accomodate everyone, however we at Crafty Daisies will not be responsible for items not shipped.
3) Packages must be sent out by Friday, May 4. If you can not send packages by this date, please contact the swap admin.
4) One of the items in the swap must be handmade. All other items can be handmade as well, or can be an assortment of craft-related items, regional items (such as seeds, photographs, etc), or anything fun and pretty.
5) Have fun!!!!

Sounds so fun. I’ll email you over the weekend with all my info. Also, one question, is it going to be a ‘secret’ who our swap partners are or are we going to know from the start who will be sending us our goodies.
I’ve got so many cool ideas already.
And I’m willing to ship overseas, I think it would be even more fun to get stuff from another country.

Also, thrifted (used) items will be okay right?

The swap will be a surprise for the recipeints, and yes, thrifted items are okay.

[...] This is one I’m REALLY excited about. Its the Summer Craft Swap from Craftydaisies. “One of the items in the swap must be handmade.

[...] Today we’re hitting up Hobby Lobby (my first time ever visiting – I’m so excited, I may pee myself!), and a local bead store. I’m especially excited about all of this b/c of the craft swap, so I’m anxious to get started. Then we’ll do the usual rounds – Old Navy, Target, Ulta, etc. My mother-in-law is the best shopping buddy – such a good sport and willing to go anywhere. She will sacrifice anything for a good shopping excursion, and that I can totally respect. [...]

[...] and with birds! Go figure. Love the colors (I’m all about pinks and blues) and the designs. I also got some cute stuff for the craft swap. I shouldn’t show anything, but I’ll leave the *surprises* to be the things I made, but I did see these buttons and loved them. So secret swap-person, if you’re reading, hope you likes: [...]

Wow, that’s fast. I’m about to take pictures of my stuff. Hopefully it’ll be in the mail by Friday.

We have rec’d a package of address labels for Candace with a VA address shipped from the UK. They were delivered to 120 Harris Road, Fayetteville, GA 30215, although the package was addressed to 126 Harris Road. The mailman left the package and indicated that it was undeliverable as addressed. Please let us know what you would like for us to do with this package. Thank you.
