Hi there Farmgirl Sisters,
It's a new year and many of us what to start fresh projects, start journaling, save momentos from the past year, etc. Some of us also want to learn how to make something new and fresh.
Sooooo, let's share in a swap that helps us get going on just that.
Goals are:
- to share something of our creative selves with a partner (or more if you want and can follow through). I'd like to encourage the idea of letting your partner "surprise" you with what they do. If you do have some very significant dislikes or likes please feel free to communicate those.
- learn something new if you don't know how already. There are lots and lots of You Tube videos with lots of ideas on "how to".
HANDMADE JOURNAL or SMASH BOOK SWAP
Here's the scoop;
- YES, HANDMADE by YOU OR, minimally , a purchased journal/smash book that you will personally embellish (strongly so) the cover and dress up the pages a bit with stickers or bits and pieces of scrapbook paper. You'll need to check with your partner about favorite themes OR see if they are okay with the "surprise me" concept.
- MINIMUM SIZE: at least 5 inches by 7 inches. May be larger but no smaller (it's not a mini-book swap)
- MINIMUM CONTENT: at least 25 "pages". Typically a journal will just have pages to journal on. A smash book could have other items incorporated in, such as big envelopes, pocket pages or such.
- THEME: you will need to communicate with your partner(s) for any favorite themes they have OR see if they are okay with "surprise me".
SIGNUP HERE BY FEBRUARY 1st. If you want more than one partner you will need to tell me that, otherwise it will be for just one partner. Timely follow through is essential, please! Thanks!
MAIL OUT BY FEBRUARY 20th. This gives you plenty of time to get some things started as we want everyone to mail out by the deadline.
Send me an email if you have further questions or such!
Let's have some creative farmgirl fun with this!
Thanks much!
CJ

Thinking about this one......May do one for "me" before I commit to swapping. Been wanting to try this, but just haven't had the time. I've got several swaps in the works right now and I want to finish them. Happy crafting girls!! Smiles, Beth

Sign me up. like everyone else, I prefer to just be surprised!
I do a lot of smash booking, so I guess that will be the route I take.

This will be fun! I'm just wondering how I will know who to send to? Also, I tried updating my email account on my profile, but for some reason it defaults back to my old email. So, meanwhile I'm afraid I will miss out on getting any pertinent info from you.
