Swap request
oh cool that a good idea! I have been making a lot of bags lately, they are always fun to sew <3
Hey pammerz, i could make a bag swap up, and i could just give you a plushie instead of a bag :p
would anyone else be up for a bag swap? either swapping with a partner or in a circle-type way?
Bags I can do!
Nikki, count me in for a bag swap
Hey would anybody be up for a DIY kit swap.
Of course you would have to list what you could do, you wouldnt want to get yarn and not know how to knit
Basically it would kinda be like this, you make a pattern for let say , like a plushie or a purse of some kind. You would send your partner instructions on how to make it, along with all the materials needed to make the item ( exept for things like stuffing and needles)
So you would send your partner instructions, precut fabric , and anything they would need extra, like if the purse needed buttons, like a DIY kit
I know im not describing this exactly right, but would anybody be up for a big swap like that?
Bag Swap - Yeah, sounds good to me!
Kit Swap - sounds good in theory, as long as everyone is clear on what is required and the right choices are made when pairing up & deciding what to send!! But, WTH, i'm in!
I received the package from the Decoden / Kawaii swap with Sally M.
I love everything & its way more then I expected. Thank you so much Sally

should i set up a bag swap or wait a bit?
BEWARE: The following post is going to be reallyy long on account of me receiving 2 wonderful swaps that I have to brag about.
Firstly, mine and Rawr.Rawr's personal swap! :]
Joss and I have planned to do this since the beginning of March but we wanted to wait awhile on our swap and ended up setting the send out date to about June 20th. Almost 2 MONTHS later we are finally receiving. ^_^
SO here are the wonderful things she sent me!:

My most favorite item.. because it is just SO gorgeous and amazing. and I'm usually not a fan of bracelets.

(some chocolate, fruity gum, and teas. There was a ginger peach tea that I gave to my boyfriend's mom because she loves peaches and I'm allergic to them :x)
The fantastic Jewelry Box she made :]

Of courseee, I love everything so much. Everything was well thought out and all going to be put to very good use. Shoot, half of it will be gone within a couple weeks
I've already written my essay about loving everything to her already so please don't think the lack of thanks and praise means I don't like it that much >,<
and Thanks again Joss. I am so happy we did this and I can't wait until you get my package!! <33333333333

Me and Angle Eve are doing a personal swap I wanted to post a teaser picture for her Were trading a Plushie(from her) for a purse (from me) I had way more extra time yesterday than I thought I would so I got it done already. lol

wow is all i can say from the picture..
Pammerz-- where did you get the eyelet tape stuff that's on the bag? I've been trying to find something like that (for the corset-ish part of my halloween costume), but I'm having trouble...
Debbie I found it at WalMart! Sold by the thread and ribbon, but you have to buy it by the spool, not by the yard.
Angle Eve! I am so excited you are excited!!
Sally M I am glad you like everything.
Ps. The 8 little kawaii character pics are stickers if you didn't know
Hey Guys.
I'd love to be included in the bag/purse swap and maybe a halloween theed swap too.
