Join the Craft Swap!

craftalot will be hosting its first craft swap! Let's all make Merlin things for each other!

Sign-up: by Wednesday, August 19th

Mailing date: by Monday, October 19th

That gives you two weeks to sign up, and two months to create & mail your craft.



Please sign up as a comment to this post. Comments will be screened.

-Email address:

-Mailing address:
(I promise to share this information only with the person crafting for you. If you prefer, you can send your address to that person directly once the matches have been made.)

-Are you willing to mail outside your country?

-What types of crafts do you do?

-Tell us about what you might enjoy receiving. (This can be specific - say you're obsessed with Morgana's jewelry - and/or general - maybe you love things with dragons on them, maybe you love softies, etc.)

**This is a guideline for me in making matches, and a guideline for the crafter assigned to you, but there is NO guarantee you'll receive your exact wishes. Due to the size of our group, it may be impossible to match all the people skilled in one type of craft with all the people who want to receive it. Also, each individual crafter knows her/his own time, resources, and skills best.

-What would you NOT care to receive? Include allergens and major aversions (to characters, type of craft, whatever) here. Your gifter will NOT include anything you list here.

-Do you smoke or have other allergens in your home?

-Is there anything else you want your gifter or the mod to know?

I'll be making another post later outlining mailing procedures. Short version: we WILL be collecting feedback. On communication, whether or not a swap was fulfilled, whether items were shipped on time and safely, etc. We'll be recommending you take pictures of your package before you send it, and that you use Delivery Confirmation.

Questions? Comments? While I'm new to swap organizing, I'm used to modding exchanges (just, usually they're of fic) and I think I have a good handle on mailing issues from being in BPALdom. But there may well be something I've missed, and if so, please say!

And finally, many thanks tonyans1975 for the craft swap suggestion!

thanks!

I tried to contact you earlier this week... I still need your email and mailing addresses, asap. I need to be able to email you your assignment, and your partner needs to know where to mail your things. If I don't hear from you soon, I'll have to rearrange the swaps to go on without you, and I don't want to have to do that!
