REQUIREMENTS == let's get the sticky red tape outta the way 1st. A. I will allow newbies, as we were all newbies to begin with and how else can you NOT be a newbie but to do a swap??? BUT do not join unless you are 115% committed to showing oldies what a dedicated newbie candobie. B. North America only to minimize shipping costs but to allow our Canadienne friends to participate in this Celebration of Mamahood C. No swappers with LOW or BAD scores. I will not set the bar high and my reason is this -- scores are subjective AND use this challenge to wow the socks off of your swap buddy. Do something so awesome your score is raised and redeemed by spreading the love. D. PLEASE be serious about sending. It sucks to get "forgotten." I know. I have been the one waiting by my mailbox and in days gone by when my youngest was very young, I, too, forgot to get something out. Luckily for me they knew me and we could work it out. On here, it is a different environment and the honour system is taken very seriously. Flake and the Swap-Bot world knows about it. +++++>+++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ ~~~~~~~~The RULES of our of Celebration ~~~~~~~~ ~1~ You will send your swap buddy a Handmade {sewn, crocheted, knitted, felted, crafted} grocery/farmer's market tote bag made from natural materials, as much as possible. IT IS for Earth Day. Bags must be at least 9 x 12 and at least wide enough to put foodstuffs into. ~2~ You will fill your tote bag with little goodies. Really take the idea of Earth Day & Mother's Day to heart when filling the bag ie. ~~~ all natural homemade soaps, bath salts & crocheted cotton washcloths to reduce chemicals going down the drain while pampering your swap buddy, ~~~ a shawl or fingerless gloves to utilize body heat instead of turning on the heater, ~~~ an apron, bamboo spoons, dishtowel & vegetarian recipe cards so she can whip up some earth friendly meals. BE CREATIVE. I suggest you choose a theme, such as in my examples of bath & body, clothing, or kitchen. ~3~ Do your best to re-use or recycle. For example, maybe you craft your tote out of a wool sweater or from sewing together vintage kitchen towels. Thrift shop your materials to reduce consumption. Just nothing in bad condition. For the goodies, try to utilize supplies you already have on hand. Again, remember this is an Earth Day swap so as much as you can re-use, recycle you should, within reason. If you do go a-shopping for supplies and/or fillers keep your spending around $30. These are to be sturdy reusable totes and nice goodies. These are Mother's Day gifts! Create a work of art that you would swoon over should you receive it. I want you to have fits about actually putting it in a box to send far away. ;) ~4~ Once you sign up -- POST comments! Tell us you prefer showers to baths so your swap buddy doesn't send you bath items you will never use. Drop the "hint" you really need some dishtowels and an apron so your buddy knows you will be thrilled by the food print fabric she is itching to sew up. ~5~ HAVE FUN!!!! | |
