In this swap you will be assigned the highest number of partners - depending on how many join in!

SO with 20 partners - you must go to each site and leave at least 5 comments in their blogs. Remember - you will be getting the same back on your blog!

If you are a blogspot user and find your partner has a blogger blog, follow them. Its a way to share love and network!

This swap is set up specifically for craft blogs as thats what my site is all about - crafting/home made items/baking etc

If you follow blogs guys and keep as bookmarks on ur computer.. checkout bloglovin.com - it means if you find a blog u love you can keep caught up their blogs instead of boring rss feeds.

I really like the idea. Can I join even though my blog is not mainly connected to crafting? It is about intercultural experiences, but there will be a little craftiness here and there.

CDonovan 03/15/2010 #

Sure you can join! I really want to build networks and things with international artists and crafts people and i thought this was the best way to do it! Feel free to join if you fit that :)

When leaving comments do I just need to leave my username on here for points?

CDonovan 03/21/2010 #

if you leave your username in where you are leaving a comment on the blog then people will be able to keep up as to who has commented :)

I just joined! My blog is all crochet, so I hope there are some crochet lovers in this swap! I also really love to find new blogs to follow, so I'm pretty excited about this one.

j3ss1ca 03/26/2010 #

Wow, 20 is a lot of different people I hope I can keep track.

I don't crochet but I would still like to look at your blog. I scrapbook and make cards. I'm getting into sewing and knitting. I find other people work interesting.

Let's see if I have this straight - Once we are assigned partners do we go to their profile to get to their blogs? So should we make sure there is a link on our profile to our blog, or should we leave our blog address here in the comments? Then after, we rate the people who were assigned to us on whether or not they left five comments? Sorry! I just want to make sure I do it correctly.:0)

CDonovan 04/ 1/2010 #

Yes :) make sure you have a blog link on your profile. Good luck keeping track

Could we maybe extend the deadline? I like the blogs a lot and would hate to rush through them. Plus there are some problems with posting in one or two which are hard to sort out in such short time. Will manage even if we stick with it, but it would be greatly appreciated. Enjoying it a lot so far.

samash 04/ 2/2010 #

I thought it would be best to post here then my profile that if you find I've left one or two comments please let me know as I've left a lot more but with those verification things they aren't there when you press 'post comment' but come up afterwards. I keep forgetting to scroll down and then add the code in which results in the message disappearing... grrrr...

Hello swapmates! It's Holy week here and quite tied-up with family activities. Hope you don;t mind the delayed comments! Happy Easter to all!

shafarina 04/ 2/2010 #

It really a problem for me as I understands English only. I am having a rough time understanding blogs written in other languages except English. But no worries, I will still comment :)

mariaisabel 04/ 2/2010 #

Im working my way through the list, only about 8 blogs left to visit!

mariaisabel 04/ 2/2010 #

OK IM FINISHED! YAY! I loved many things I saw in this blog hopping day :) There are many talented people here!

candyn 04/ 2/2010 #

Thank you for extending the deadline! I'm enjoying visiting all the blogs so much, but it is taking a lot of time. There are so many creative people!

Agnetha 04/ 3/2010 #

Yay....finally finished! Gosh...I never realized how long this was going to take!! For the people visiting my blog, sorry for it beeing in Swedish but use the Google translator that's on the blog!

I really love this swap, but I would like to get this off my chest. I apologize for having a new blog/site. I am new to this whole blog thing and starting a new business venture. I hoped by joining this swap it would push me to get things up quicker. However, as a new mommy, full time job, and starting a new business obviously it did not help. I got a very rude email from one of the participants (not naming names) and just want to let you all know, that NOOOO! I did not join this so people would just see my business. I joined because my business is about crafts, scrapbooking that I love to do and love to show off. And I love meeting and networking with new people and seeing all the wonderful crafts done all around the world. So please don't get the wrong impression when you go to my site. I hope with this extension you will be able to see some of my scrapbooking pages that I am determined to have up by Sunday! I look forward to the rest of the sites I need to go to and the sites I have been to already! Thank you to all of those that have been understanding!

Dear Swap Partners:

Please bear with the delay of my part because I have HUGE internet connection problem.

CollageCafe04 04/ 7/2010 #

I am really enjoying all the blogs I'm encountering but this is taking me much longer than I anticipated... I promise, I will visit all my partners before the deadline. ...scatter joy...

j3ss1ca 04/ 8/2010 #

It was very fun reading all of the blogs. It was so nice to see what other crafty things there are to do. I have learned new things along the way.

shafarina 04/10/2010 #

At last! I managed to visit all craft blogs. You are awesome guys. I read a lot of inspiring entries, happy personal life stories and admiring all your craft works.

Thanks for hosting this swap Claire. Great great swap. I hope with me following all of you will keep this new friendship stays strong.

BTW, there are some blogs I visited today. So sorry. My internet was down for 3 days. But of I miss any blog or comments, please do tell me ok. :)

Great swap!

shafarina 04/10/2010 #

Sorry to hear that kaydensmommy4e, I believe most of us wouldn't mind a blog that shows and sells. At least for me. :)

CollageCafe04 04/11/2010 #

Hey all... I did get to visit and comment on everyone's blog by the 10th but it slipped my mind to click on the 'sent' link for the swap until this morning ; P Your blogs are amazing!

mariaisabel 04/11/2010 #

This was a great idea!

j3ss1ca 04/12/2010 #

I noticed that a lot of people flaked on this swap. I only received comments from about half my partners. Has anyone else had this happen?

Jaemac 04/12/2010 #

J3ss1ca, yes, me too. I had a little more than half of people comment and less than half follow. I think many people forgot the FOLLOW part. The follow was just as important as the comments part. It has been frustrating. :o(
