    Send out it tomorrow and I haven't had contact from Nora yet. I messaged her to ask about inchies... I've never made them before and weren't sure if were including them in the package. Is everyone else? :)

    I might have to make send out Friday. I know that's naughty but at least I'm being honest.... :( xx

    Yeh I'm sorry too Deb. I can understand why you asked it to be removed if it was appearing on your facebook.. I think we all just assumed that it was complained about by someone who wasn't interested in that particular swap thread or was done in maliciousness. So yeh I'm going to apologise for being narked by it. Hope you can forgive me.

    Eep I see the problem. How about a level of swapper... cos Newbie and Vet are the two polar opposites.

    Newbie. Intermediate. Expert. Vet?
    Something like that? Then it doesn't have to technically be a Vet that has to swap with a noob.. du follow me?

    Ok Dessah.

    Kiddo has gotten my swap but I haven't got hers yet... though I think it may be at my local sorting office as I got a note from the postie saying he tried to deliver this morning but nobody was home :)

    So I am a Vet woo. I will however wait for a UK Newbie :)

    Skill Swap

    Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·

    Hello Everybody! 

    I have now successfully completed my Newbie Swap and so would like to host my own. (I hope this is ok with everyone! :D ) 

    I propose a skill swap.... basically the idea is that you choose one of your best craft skills. It could be resin, beading, plushie, ANYTHING. You then suggest a couple of things you can't do at all or very well. So for me it would be knitting and crochet. 

    And hopefully you can be paired with someone who has the skills you don't and swap with them to receive things normally you couldn't make yourself. 

    I am happy to accept suggestions for how this swap could run more smoothly. 

    I am going to make some rules for this swap now! 



    RULES!
    1: You must have completed a Newbie swap with good feedback or proof you did not flake. 



    2: Nobody on the flaker list may join. 



    3: You must have made at least 10 board posts. 



    4:3-4 items..but more or less depending on the skill you are offering (agreed with partner) 



    5:Once partners are posted you contact each other at least 3 times a week for updates and general chit chat. 


    Message me if these rules mean you cannot join and in special circumstances I may be able to bend the rules if possible. 

    Ok I hope this will be a successful swap and we can find lots of skills to swap. 

    :D


     


    Please copy and paste this questionaire if you want to join, and fill it in as best you can! Thanks

    Ok.... Well do you think we should start another one? Because I have contacted Crafterella and reported it... but no luck?

    And if anyone wants to partner up for another newbie vet preferably UK based I'd love that! :D

    I'm having trouble posting onto that thread is anyone else?
    It says the last person posted 3 days ago so I'm thinking it's a possibility?

    Has the thread become too full? I want to do the swap again but can't get into it to re sign up...
