jennybee Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Shipping will be as cheap as I can get it. Hopefully in one of those 'everything that fits' boxes. You don't have to spend a lot to participate. I think that the items should be $5-10 of VALUE not cost. You might spend pennies to make something valuable. Just look at it and think if YOU would pay $5-10 for it. (for example, a $1 michaels hutch could be sanded and painted and detailed and be worth $10+ and all it took was your time) I like your thinking on this Deana, Some people may be intimidated if the value seems too high and may not join in and miss the chance in all the fun. I know I already said I'm in but theme or no theme I'm game. I have places in my houses and room boxes that can always use pretty much anything maybe even that little scrunched up dish rag or bar of soap! I swear I had that bar of soap on the sink last week! Has anyone seen it? hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welcomehomeminis Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Have you reached 15 people, Deana? If not, I'd love to do it. I've done swaps in other art realms before but never in minis. What fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think it's at 8 so far. Pretty sure Saturday will be the last day to sign up and I will message everyone then. No theme has been chosen, but one person would like to not have any holiday items, which I think is fine. So just anything BUT holiday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Swaps are supposed to be fun for everybody, and this one sounds like it's off to a good start! Everyone remember to take pictures of your items before you mail them off to your hub, so you can post them in this swap's album when it's over, and we can all see what the items are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamcheese Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I just now read about the new Swap. What a wonderful idea! Will you be able to share all of the items from the participants so that we can see what everyone has created?Thanks, Deanna for taking charge of this. Sounds like fun for the 9 that signed up this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellifera Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Boo Hoo! I've lost some important materials--I either need to tear the (RL) house apart to find them or go buy them again at the craft store, which will of course guarantee that I will find them within five minutes of returning.
