Do you enjoy shopping the after Christmas Clearance section at your go to stores for craft supplies (Target, Michaels, Joanns, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Mornings ect...)? If so, then this swap is for you.

BUT THERE IS A TWIST.

THE TWIST - The items found MUST BE NEUTRAL for paper crafting use all year long. So NO Happy Holiday, NO Santa, NO Merry Christmas, NO snowflakes, NO gingerbread men, NO snowmen, NO reindeer. Absolutely NOTHING CHRISTMAS OR HOLIDAY

May May Made it has a YouTube Video she created over 6 years ago. Huge After Christmas Clearance Walmart and Hobby Lobby Neutral Haul. It's a lengthy video, but it really explains this swap twist/ challenge quite well. She shows a pack of rhinestones (red, clear, and green), if used together, YES Christmas. But you can use each color separately, so it's a NEUTRAL ITEM which would meet the swap TWIST requirement.

I did this challenge with my sister and hosted it last year on swap-bot. It was so much fun! Over the years, I found plain red, pink/gold, and mint ribbon, black and white buffalo check bags, clear flat unicorn and camper acrylic ornaments, pink belles, wood flower key chains, green/black/white plaid napkins, 6" wood crosses, and green foil cardstock packs.
