Description:

I got this idea from the "Fun-filled Purse swap", but it's a little different because swappers are not swapping nice new purses, but instead altered or handmade small or coin purses. This purse swap is a little adventurous and experimental. In addition to a altered/handmade purse, swappers will be filling the purse with items they think their partner will like. The catch is that at least 50% of what's in the purse should ALSO be handmade AND/OR usable crafty stuff. Which means feel free to put in girly lip gloss and such, but also put in something like a hand embroidered handkerchief or hand made change purse, or some crafty on-the-go gadgets or embellishments, maybe a hand assembled sewing kit? I don't know, it's super cool to have just what you need in your purse when you need it, get creative and aim for hearts!

Feel free to make a larger purse (but do include a coin purse too since this is a coin purse swap) if you don't mind paying international shipping...that ought to earn hearts.

So new swappers welcome with well filled out profile, rated swappers with 4.6 or above, zero no-sends in the past 3 months, and this is a swap INTERNATIONAL. You've got 2 months to make this swap!

Try to send something you would like to receive, get experimental and creative and make everything lovely!

This sounds so cool, I'm looking forward to making my purse and filling it.

I've participated in a few swaps through other venues. I'm looking forward to this one. I'm putting together care packages for the folks at home, so this will be an easy project to include. Mail from Taiwan is notoriously jacked, so I'll mail out as soon as I've received my partner.

WEEEEE!!! I return home to my sewing machine and bundles of fun fabric on August 28th and can't wait to get crackin' on this one! My first swap!!!

Sorry, sorry...Internet was cut off and I had no way to confirm I'd shipped. I did. Everything went out about a week ago. Cheers!
