Number of people in swap:5

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

I hope this will be an interesting crafty swap for our Domesticated Group members. We will each post five themes that we like. Our partners will choose ONE of our five themes, and create something just for us based on that theme.

This will allow us each to craft in our medium of choice, and there will be a fun surprise element for everyone! Won't you join us?

The official rules:

  • Please post five themes that you like below (before sign up deadline). Let's try to be kind to our partners by not choosing five themes that are overly specific. We want everyone to have a good time crafting!

  • Send your partner ONE handmade-by-you item that reflects one of their chosen themes.

  • Spend a minimum of one hour creating a nice swap for your partner. Our goal should be to make our partner smile when they open our package!

  • Include a note of a few sentences to tell your partner why you chose the theme or the item that you did.

  • Because this swap can't be started until partners are assigned, I'm allowing 3 weeks to give ample time to decide on the details and create your swap!

As with all Domesticated swaps, sending on time, on or before the send date, is considered part of the swap. In the rare event that you will be a little late, please contact your partner before the deadline has passed.

This swap is open to all members of this group who are in good standing. I will check ratings (no unexplained/unresolved 1s & 3s unless you've PMed me about it), overdue swaps, and last log in date prior to assigning partners.

Thank you to @ChinaCat for allowing me to use her swap idea. I had so much fun participating in her original version!

I just re-read the rules and I now realize that this is a crafty swap. Good to know! I was about to send a thrifted something. No worries - I need to get busy in my craft room anyway.
