couleurs de vie september

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Private Swap

US only, due to shipping. Sorry, I know there are some awesome International Swappers, but overseas postage is a killer these days.

This will be the first in a series of monthly color themed swaps. Color is such an amazing part of the joy of life. Color represents not only visual aspects, but also emotions and moods. These swaps will be a nod to appreciating interesting combinations of colors.

You will send a package valued at $15 to one partner. The items should all fall into the orange, turquoise, brown, or cream catergory....or a combination of any of those colors. Please choose items carefully to fit the theme and do your best to incorporate the info from your partner's profile.

Please include at least 1 handmade item in your swap. It doesn't have to be made by you, just handmade by someone.

In addition, try to creatively package your swap. I love it when I get a swap that is all wrapped up neat!

Some ideas of items you might include:

• Notecards, Stationery, Notepads, or Postcards
• Ribbons, Beads, Baubles
• Fabric or Yarn
• Bath, Body, or Beauty Products
• Snacks
• Seasonal Decorations
• Christmas Ornament ('tis the season)
• Jewlery
• etc.

Use your imagination and keep your eyes open for these colors. I'm sure these are going to be gorgeous packages!

Please take photos of what you send & receive. Since the gallery slideshow doesn't work with any consistency, we'll get a flickr group going as we get closer to the send date. Seeing other packages sent & reveived is always such an inspiration.
