This is my first time doing a Spring swap so bear with me lol

We can do sign ups til March 9th.

You would make something for each mama participating(at a $10 value), it could be all different things or all the same but with a Spring theme(Spring flowers, colors etc). If there are 8 mamas participating, you would make 7 items(unless you want to receive one of your items back then you can make exactly). I will PM everyone that signs up on March 10th to let you know how many mamas are participating.
It doesn't have to be sewing related just something handcrafted(ex: if you make soap, send in soaps if you'd like; if you make jewelry, send in jewelry; it doesn't have to be sewn).
Your items MUST reach me by April 13th. Shipping will be at your expense. I think it's easiest to do Flat Rate Boxes. You could PayPal me your shipping cost, $8.55(dc included) at TURTLEQT@ GMAIL.COM(minus the space) no later than March 17th. Please put your user name and that it's for Spring Swap so I can keep track.
Please keep in mind we all have children lol and that most likely there will be children present when these boxes are opened :lol:
Please fill out the questionnaire below and post it in a reply(please edit out sig when replying).
When mailing your items to me, please remember to include a printout of your questionnaire and a return label. Please include delivery confirmation on your box to me.

This is a fun swap and if there happens to be something you may not like in your loot box then there will be a trading post where you can trade other mamas stuff or you can always put it up on the market board.

If you aren't sure if your item is a $10 value, PM me or post to the board and ask. :) We are all a friendly bunch of mamas!

I'm sure I'll add more to this at some point but I think I got most of what I want to add :)

me please ;) I have a question, when I ship to you, my items, can I put a ppd flat rate box in there, so I only have to pay for shipping once while I'm at the P.O.? LOL Does that make sense? I hate doing a bunch of transactions on one swap, it freaks me out ROFL (weird, I know)

That is fine if it'll fit or you can just PP me the $8.55 and I will worry about it when I go to the PO. :)

yeah, I kwym...I realize it looks silly, lol, but I have some kind of wierd OCD about just paying the shipping for a swap all at once (to and back)...sorry ROFLMAO.

oh, no ATC's please

I edited my post. It is Spring themed like Spring flowers, colors etc. Along those lines ykwim? Example, if you make a little totebag, you would use a Spring print or something with Spring colors. Do I make sense? lol Sometimes I confuse people.

That makes sense! I may have just missed it the first time, I do often skim posts ;) I'm not ready to sign up yet, because I have to think of something to make first.

Cool... I'm in!

A few things you would prefer NOT to get(ex: religious, patriotic, character, edible): All of the above. :P Well, edible is cool as long as it's healthy/vegan.

A few things you would REALLY want to get in your box: I'd LOVE a hat. I have a handmade hat that another mama made me in a previous swap. I wear it all the time and get so many compliments on it. I'd love to have a spring one. :)

Are you allergic to certain scents? melon/cucumber! I'm not allergic, but my mother got me a gift set with that scent when I was REALLY sick during my first pregnancy. So everytime I smell it I feel quezy...

This looks like a good one to jump back into swaps with!

How many mom's are participating? I need to know how many items to make. :)

-Jeannine

It looks like 4 mamas are signed up. :) So we make 3 things each unless you want to send one for yourself lol :)

hoping there will be more of these - I wanted to participate but can't with my hand in a cast. :(

this is still going right? LOL...I'm running late though...just an fyi :X

I am working on my projects this weekend and will hopefully ship monday morning. :)

-Jeannine

I'm shipping Mon or Tues. :)

Yes it's still happening :) I'll let everyone know when I have received the packages. I will update the OP when each package is received so you'll be able to see if I received it :)

Update? :juggle:

I received the last swap items Thursday and I will ship Monday or Tuesday. I'm sorry I didn't update. My SO is having surgery May 3rd and we've been having dr appts the last few weeks. It's not an excuse, I just wanted to let you ladies know :)

Hope everything goes well with the surgery! Don't stress if you can't get things in the mail this week, but thanks for letting us know. :)
