Bidet and Beep Beep fellow Critters! It was sad when their first story ended, but the second, well that's going to be an awesome adventure too! ^_^ So it's a pleasure to be doing a wonderful craft swap based on the new campaign! This is the first one that we're running (we being Sara and Katie) and we're hoping that everyone involved will have a fun time.
Please give us a few days to match you to your partner. We will email you both with your contact information and survey answers. We want to make sure everyone has a positive experience in this swap. It's an open swap, meaning you'll know who your partner is, and they'll know who you are. But no one else in the swap will know who you are matched to. Feel free to talk to each other if you have any questions or concerns. Having an open line of communication can help with any worries. It also means they will hold you accountable, so please don't fall off the wagon. If something does happen and you need to drop out of the swap please let us know as soon as possible and we can look into finding a swap angel.
We’ve seen some concern about using the numbers on the critter gifting google doc for referencing, but if there's any real problems we can get it sorted out. You can access Critter Gifting Spreadsheet (see the Critter Gifting group for link) If you're at your computer, you can hit ctrl + f and put in the name to bring up the person you're looking for if the number doesn't help.
This Craft Swap’s goal is a “medium” sized craft; this means it should require several sessions to complete, and can’t be done in a single afternoon. A collection of smaller crafts is also acceptable, as long as they add up to a “medium” sized gift for your recipient. Including smaller crafts and/or bonus items in your package is always nice to do. If you don’t think your main craft qualifies as a “medium” craft, added smaller crafts can be used to make your project more robust.
Now if you have not participated in a craft swap before, this is the tricky part. Where you decide the project you will create and if the package should have extras or not. We are recommending the creation of a medium size craft, and you can always include a smaller craft if you're not sure about your work. Now these will vary based on your craft skill levels, and you can ask if your partner is open to receiving an (X Y or Z) if you're not sure. (For example I specialize in dolls(K.) >.> and some people may have no interest in a doll). As far as extras are concerned, they're nice to get but not necessarily necessary. You're free to discuss this with your partner if you like to come to an agreement of sorts. But we can't force you to send them.
Please remember that gifts should be shipped by April 20. If there's any problem meeting this deadline, please let us and your partner know as soon as possible. Also if your partner ghosts, please let us know that as well.
If you have any direct questions or problems please feel free to contact Sara Glassman or Katie Boofer on facebook to help with any clarifications.
Or even email us back here.
If you don't mind, we'd love to see progress shots as you work on your crafts and what not. It would be wonderful to see what you're working on. So we'll send out a reminder, probably every other week or so, just to say hello and make sure you're on track. ^_^
