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
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.
So, is this kind of like the unthemed swap except later?
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.
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!

FAT FACT:
20 years ago a standard cup of coffee was 8 ounces and had 45 calories.
Today's 16 ounce cup of "brand" coffee has 350 calories.
You need to walk approximately one hour and 20 minutes to burn off the extra 305 calories in the "brand" coffee.
