I haven’t crafted anything specifically for the swap yet, but my mind is spinning with ideas. I’ll definitely be in once I get my 5 crafted items fresh for this round.

Ooh, I can’t wait! I have ceramic pendants that I made for a holiday festival last year and without an event this year I have many left. :slight_smile:
I also have wooden miniature blanks of things like bottles and pots and some other miniature appropriate supplies. I am looking forward to spreading the miniature love around.

We’re gonna try something new.
As your items are claimed from your shop, please mark them as SOLD.
See sample shop for examples on how to do this :slight_smile:
At the end of the swap, I will do a massive recap and move SOLD items to the discussion thread.
