STS (Shop the Swap) 2025 Fall Market Discussion

Im trying to make some non-sewn items from my stash. Is anyone interested in these type of notebooks? I made the blue ghost and cat yesterday.

Gosh, yes. That cat especially. I think I would probably display itโ˜บ๏ธ

Well, the STS starts next week Tuesday unless there are objections. I will gladly move it back to the 16th :laughing:

Iโ€™m excited for it to start, but if you need more time, I think we should wait.

This is a big swap to organize and keep track of and I so appreciate all the VOLUNTEER time and effort you put into it.

If the 16th works better for you, then we should move it!

I could use more time (of course) but I agree, you should do what works best for you!

Iโ€™m always going to feel like Iโ€™m not ready until the imposing deadline kicks my butt into getting organized, so whenever the start happens, itโ€™s pretty much the same on my end! :upside_down_face:

I second @susieoregon! Iโ€™m fine with whatever works best for you.

I fiddled with the dates. Signups are open for three weeks then signups close and the shops are officially open for three weeks.

DATES:
signups start: Sept 16
signups close: Oct 7 @ 9p MST
over/under week is: Oct 28 - Nov 4
last day possible after over/under week is: Nov 11

Thereโ€™s a tiny bit less than a week until I start signups. Signups will last for three weeks.

This means that you can craft all the way up until the last day of signups then join.

Last possible day to set up your shop after you have been approved for the swap are two days after signups close. All of this will be on the starting post next week. I thought this might help any panicking crafters (such as myself๐Ÿ˜… )

Apologies if itโ€™s been mentioned but I couldnโ€™t find the info. How are points set for items? Do we set them ourselves or do the moderators set them? Is there a guideline of examples of crafts and how many points theyโ€™re worth?

You get to set them yourself. You can even have a sale in your shop.

I donโ€™t have examples other than what was in the shops in the previous years.
