Quickie Craft Yuletime Swap (over! Mail date Dec 5th or ASAP! :) :) :)

Hey guys... I'm new here but I wanna jump in with both feet, cuz I LOVE the whole swapping idea.
I know there's already a Christmas swap or two started but they are... well... already started. LOL.

SO... I had a lil' idea.
Quickie Craft... meaning something small that won't take long to make and not cost too much either.
I say Yuletime to be... "PC" about it... since I'm not Christian but I still exchange gifts Happy

I came up with this idea not only because I was too late for other swaps, but cuz I have two little kids, no time, and not much money! (who does, these days, right?)

The sort of thing I was thinking... was like a couple magnets or a crocheted dishcloth, or a piece of unique jewellery or... some sort of recycled stuff project. Y'know?

I'm in Canada, too... I know a lot of you are in the US, so that's another reason to keep projects small and inexpensive cuz it might cost a buck or two more to send stuff across the border.

In anycase... who's game? Happy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's who we've got so far;

Mama Zoe
Fave colours: purple & green... blue & black... brown & earthtones... any combo of those that works... and any funky patterns
Your "style"... what's your deal?: I'm a dirty hippie? lol. I "do" anything from goth/emo style to hippy earthy stuff, to tyedye lol. I'm pretty easy.
When it comes to small-stuff, what would you like?: unique jewelry, hair accessories (my hair is fairly short though)..magnets, bookmarks... ?? Happy cool trinket? lol.
Anything you'd prefer not to get?: I just don't do frilly and pink. My kids'll end up wearing it. LOL. Which is fine - if someone wants to make a sparkly pink and lacey thing that my 5 & 3 yearolds would love, that's equally awesome. Happy

^^ Well I live in Germany so I now what you mean.. It would be very expensive to send big things to US or Kanada or other countries... So I think that is a good time for me to join a swap^^ hehe
