LET'S SWAP NOW! (Dipping our toes in swapping on Lettuce Craft)

[racky]

@Camelama, are you volunteering to organize that swap? If so, how long is the swap time? And forgive me for not knowing, but have you organized a swap on Cster?

[Camelama (Real name: Susan)]

Sure for volunteering, say three weeks, and many years ago I organized a “tiny” swap.

Thanks to all our potential organizers for proposing such fun swaps! There are so many to choose from, and it’s time to vote!! Read all about it and vote here:

POLL: Which 5 Swaps Should Open First?

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to organize one of the first five swaps here on Lettuce Craft! Now, as swappers, it’s time to vote for the swap or swaps in which you would be interested in participating. Cster members with no negative feedback will be allowed to join three swaps; LC members who were not Cster members and Cster members with “less than perfect” swap records may each join one swap. Everyone is starting out with a clean slate. In the poll below, I have listed the name of the swa…

Yay. So hard to decide!

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Thanks you!! Yay for swapping! I voted.

I had been telling myself that I couldn’t swap in April because of work, but next month’s work is uncertain like everything else, so I’m going to assume that I will be free to craft and go ahead. It makes it a win-win, sort of.

Hi, there! I’m totally a newbie to swapping but it sounds like so much fun! So, does this mean that I would choose a swap to join and then make crafts (hopefully leather if the material is not specified) to swap based on the theme. Can’t wait!

[racky]

That’s pretty much it, in a nutshell. As a newbie swapper, you’ll be able to pick one swap at first, and once that’s done, up to five at a time (once we get the database up and running). You’ll love it!

@racky - thank you so much!!!

[craftymomma (Carla Bluitt)]

Thank you!

Just want to comment that I’m excited to see swapping on the horizon!
This was probably the main thing that kept me connected to our old site & the folks
there (now here).
Can’t wait to see what the first couple of swaps look like, and hopefully down the road a bit I’ll be able to host the Spell My Name swap & it’ll be like old times

[lifeinpigtails (Christy (formerly ThriftyLiving4U))]

I’m so eager to see what the five will be!

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Me too!

@racky

OK, the Lettuce Crafters have spoken. The top five swaps are

One Tiny Thing Swap @Lilyleaper
Color In a Box @kittykill
Common Ground @Bunny1kenobi
Go Bananas @MistressJennie
4 x 6 Art Swap @Kwality570

Are we letting our youngest members swap or does swapping begin at age 16 like the previous site? It didn’t occur to me when talking about swapping with my daughter (and she voted) that she might not meet an age requirement yet. Can we allow them to swap with a parent permission? I know my daughter was excited about the 4x6 and the OTT swaps.

[Magpie (Straight, not narrow 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇦 🌎)]

I was informed no solo swapping for kidlets. Sad but true.

[racky]

Sorry, but we will continue to have the rule that you must be 16 to swap.

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Okay.

[MistressJennie (Moderator - Jennie - she/her)]

Hey friends, I need one more swapper!

I am supposed to close the signups for the Go Bananas Swap today, but I have an uneven number of swappers! The point of this swap is to get to know, and then to spoil your partner, and go bananas crafting something really lovely for them, so I’d prefer not to have to do a round robin. Anyone able to help a sister out?

[LadybugsAndBees (Barbara)]

Raises hand

If you’ll have me.
