Candy Swap

Hiya, So this candy theme is a swap favourite I think!

I know that a few Candy swaps have happened on CO+K and I see a lot of Swapbot too but thought I'd put a little crafty twist into this one- not only are you swapping actual candy/chocolate you’ll also be using the theme of sweets/candy to make 2-3 handmade items. And the idea is to buy local candy from your local shops if possible (rather than online) if you are swapping with partners across the pond.
What you make really depends on what your partner is into, so as usual, check out their profile for inspiration, but what you make for them should be a surprise ^__^

THE RULES

1. DEADLINES
Sign up deadline is Saturday 25th Feb (i’ll try and email partners out by next day)
Send out deadline is Monday 12th March.

2. . CANDY SPENDING LIMIT
USA : $8 - $16
UK : £5 - £10
EU : 6 euro - 12 euro's

3. Send out your candy/chocolate in the same package as your 2-3 handmade candy themed items so they all arrive together.

4.You HAVE to have completed a Newbie vs Vet Swap already to join!

Candy/Chocolate preferences and allergies: anything with ginger or cinnamom in it is going to nail it for me. Chocolate, spices, honey, sweet licorice come close seconds. I like a little bit of everything, but I'm not a fan of highly artificial candies.

Candy/Chocolate preferences and allergies:

I don't have allergies, don't like dark chocolate, or chocolate with coffee. I love nuts, coconut, mint, milk and white chocolate.
I'm not too keen on black liquorice but like fruity ones.
I love hard and soft candies like pear drops, cola cubes and jelly tots, fruit pastilles etc...

Hi Gals

Im probably gonna extend this by a few more days so we can get a bigger turn out, so far we only have 3 UK girls and 1 EU girl. Would be cool if we could get a few more USA girls in the swap so we can do this internationally. If no interest is shown in the next week we'll go ahead and do a more local one. x
