This will help us when we set up a poll for voting.
If you don’t want to host a swap, but want to suggests one, please, in big bold letters include SUGGESTION at the top of the post.
Name of Swap: Ongoing Wish Swap Spring Edition
Swap Organizer: kittykill
Swap Requirements: depends on the list that the swappers provide
Length of Swap: April 12-May 31st (longer swap time to accommodate international shipping and to end at the end of the month-this may change, but this is my idea for now)
Are people still excited about Ongoing ATCs? I can do a round for May.
Name of Swap: Ongoing ATC swap May
Swap Organizer: thanate
Swap Requirements: make and send at least one ATC (all skill levels welcome!)
Length of Swap: 1 month (2 wk crafting time per claim)
Swap Organizer himself/herself meets these conditions:
Has fully read the Swap Info Guide
Has successfully completed two swaps as a participant
Is not organizing more than three swaps right now
Will recruit a co-organizer or give all details to a Swap Moderator if this swap has more than 25 participants
Is at least 18 years old
I am willing to organize, but worry it might be too much for my first time organizing. If no one else wants to, I definitely can! The link to the Fall 2020 swap is here.
The Shop the Swap (STS) is a different kind of swap in that we start with finished items. The swap is basically set up like a virtual craft fair, where participants buy/sell crafted items (using points). Items are priced between 1 to 3 points. When you have mailed out claimed items, the points become available for spending. Just like the real world, we can’t spend points we don’t have (no overdraft allowed). To keep the economy going, you can’t hoard your points (you must close your shop and go shopping when you have accumulated +7 points). All swappers must be willing to ship swap packages to an international address and promise to maintain excellent communication.
I was just coming here to say I am good for another round! So excited to do this again
Name of Swap: Shop the Swap Spring Market 2021
Swap Organizer: loves2experiment
Swap Requirements: more details here…
Length of Swap: signups for 1 week; swapping period for claims ~ 1 month
SUGGESTION
Tiny things swap. Many miniatures come in packages of multiples such as bottles, eyes, plates & cups, resin animals, etc. I even have a package of tiny trophies. The idea is to swap 10 tiny things plus make your partner something they could use in a mini scene or diorama.
I’m batting around the idea of organizing and I qualify!
