What an excellent idea, especially now people are starting to think about Christmas and present shopping - here's where I have my jewellery shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/Woodledoodledandy

I love the skull and jewellery. The choker is really pretty 
I saw a tutorial recently on pinterest where they had sewed the cups of a cheap bra into the top. The other thing you could do is get some clear elastic strap or stretchy lace and replace the back of the bra with this. Sorry I'm not explaining this very well but I hope it makes sense.
Has everyone else sent out or received anything - this thread seems to have gone really quiet and the send out day was a few weeks ago.
Hopefully mine will arrive soon - I'm not sure how long it takes for something to get from the UK to South Africa but it went out over a week ago so hopefully it won't be too much longer.
When my boyfriend won a prize for his pottery - I couldn't stop beaming. I could have stopped every stranger on the way home to tell them, but to his relief I didn't. I'm also lucky that my job comes with loads of proud moments. I work in a mental health daycentre and I still remember the day one of my clients came in to tell me she had got a 2:1 for her music degree. Also hearing another one of my clients perform one of her own songs to our under 30s group. We were having a music appreciation session where everyone brings in a cd to play something they like to the group. She had just come back to the group after being in hospital for nearly 2 years. She'd bought a cd in but saw the guitar in the room we were in and just picked it up and sang the most amazing song instead. It was one she'd written herself when she was really unwell and was so moving.
Eeek I forgot it's nearly mine
I think the site could do with a report button so that if a project is iffy you can flag it so that it is investigated further.
I've just read through some of the comments on the wikihow profile and there are loads of accusations and warnings about stealing others work and photos and claiming credit for them. :/ Not looking good.
I've just been having a look around and it looks like she could be the same person as the person posting them on wikihow. The profile pic looks similar and all the projects are the same as on wikihow http://www.wikihow.com/User:Sandylee222 - it could be that she's created a profile here after having one for much longer on wikihow and has been uploading the projects to both sites. Both profiles link to the same website so I'm not convinced that she's stealing them. If she is then she's only taking projects from one specific site and one author which would seem a bit risky if she wasn't the same person.
I'll be honest I'm not sure one way or the other but I'd be interested in hearing her response. I think the best thing to do is to send Cat a message when she and Tom are back from the US and see what comes from that.
I posted out a birthdaygram for Joss today. It's in with her Goth swap and is wrapped in purple tissue paper to distinguish it from the other swap stuff. I'm not sure how long things take to get from the UK to S Africa but hopefully not too long.
Here's a little teaser pic for Joss

The only thing I can think of that you could do is watermark your photos with something like your website or name. That way if they crop up elsewhere you don't have to rely on the person taking them giving you credit.
I'm ready to send out but probably won't get to the post office till Monday. It is open tomorrow but only in the morning and it normally takes me a while to get going on a Saturday :/ I'll try and get some pics tomorrow and post a teaser for Joss.
@Kriskat are you still looking for a vet to partner up with? If so send me a message.
