Not sure if I’ll have the time to participate in any swaps, I certainly have no time for organizing, but I love to see what you guys come up with! @Bugaboo I love your suggestion. Not sure if I could sign up for a swap like that because quilting takes quite a bit of time, but I would really try to find the time.

I agree.I don’t think I’d have the time for either a mini quilt or the quilt block swap, although both would be swaps I’d enjoy! I still have swap packages in the great yonder traveling as slow as they can to their destinations, so I only have 3 open slots. I’d probably sign up for the ongoing atc and maybe STS but that’s about it for me this go-around, I think.

SUGGESTIONS
-rainbow swap
-LGBTQIA+ swap
-craft (stuff for) my pet swap
-more general fantasy or sci-fi swap, maybe focusing on one’s favorite authors/books/movies/shows in the genre or one’s favorite magical/fantasy/mythological creature?
-WWP or nature spirituality or even general spirituality/religion swap
-4x6 art swap: beginners edition (I always feel I’m not enough of an artist to join this swap and I can’t be alone)
-inchies
Several of these have been done before either here or on the old site, and even if I didn’t participate I enjoyed seeing them happen and would feel the same if they occurred again

I love the rainbow swaps too. Solid fave.
There is a really active happy mail craftalong happening that doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any…

ooo I do like a happy mail swap. Not sure I am up for hosting this time around but I could probably be persuaded to join.

It’s a good suggestion to make beginners especially welcome, of course. If there’s a keen group, that would be great! But if there aren’t enough people for this, I hope you’ll consider joining in the regular 4x6 swap anyway. Everyone is welcome, all experience levels, all different media. We’d love to have you join in, and anyone else who wants to make small, mailable art!

SUGGESTION
I’d like to submit an idea for “craft for my hobby” swap. For example, I have a new hobby of collecting reborn dolls. My partner could make me an outfit for one of my dolls and a pacifier holder. I’m thinking maybe a medium and small requirement?

Oooh. I would have to seriously think about that one. I have a Japanese garden that I try to tame each year, and each year it is less and less the garden it was when I bought the house. Ha! I still enjoy it though.

I had an idea for a “spoil your partner rotten” swap but I personally think every swap should just be called that 'cause it’s what everybody ends up doing, haha!

I have immense swap guilt about actually sending my LGT partners a small item, even though I only signed up for that swap because I didn’t have enough time!
SUGGESTIONS
Literature (non-HP) swap theme. Could be specific like 19th century, classic literature, old books with female heroines like the Little House series, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables.
There are lots of HP swaps already so that’s why I’d like to exclude it for this swap.
I could organize but not this round.

NO GUILT! It’s strictly prohibited, lol. Sometime though the extras do get a little out of control, it’s true. It’s usually included in the questionnaire to be negotiated by partners. Good thing too 'cause mail to and even within Canada has gotten ridiculous! Pricey and slow as molasses in January, as my mama used to say about us kids getting ready for school in the morning, ha!

No need to feel guilty!
Sincerely,
One of your partners who also, uh, stuck closely to the swap requirements
