Of course you HAD to make one just like it so you bought the panel, coordinating fabrics and thread  and never got around to starting it.  Now you have a stash of panels.   I thought this would be a great way to unload a panel and swap it out and see what you get!&#13;
&#13;
If you are not sure what I mean - google fabric panels to get an idea.&#13;
&#13;
Sender's choice - but try to avoid sending "new baby",  political or religious panels.     Panels for pillow covers are OK.   All panels should NOT be smaller than 18" x 18" square.  Rectangular shapes are fine and panels should be cotton or fleece.   &#13;
&#13;
Any extras such as thread, embellishments, etc deserves a heart.  Please rate your partner when your swap arrives.  &#13;
&#13;
This is a quick swap.  You don't need to buy anything - just pull a panel out of your stash and be ready to mail to your partner.&#13;
&#13;
Newbies are welcome with a filled out profile.  No swapper allowed with less than a 4.8 rating unless you contact me with a super good reason.&#13;
&#13;
I will also angel, but please no flakers.  </description><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Matches In My Matchbox</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40532</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40532</guid><description>Decorate a matchbox and a few of the matches too.&#13;
&#13;
What about the matches? You know, the one's that are discarded because all we care about is "the matchbox".&#13;
&#13;
Let's alter a matchbox in the color of RED using an alternate color that you think will accent it nicely.&#13;
&#13;
Alter a few matches (no minimum or max) using paints or what have you to incorporate into your outside design.&#13;
&#13;
Matches must be seen somewhere on the outside of your box and must be altered as well.&#13;
&#13;
For the inside, instead of filling it with stuff, decorated (at least) 5 more matches and place them inside. The matches inside may be attached as apart of your design or may fit loosely (just so long as they have been altered/decorated somehow). *If you're brave, you may create inchies, or Mini ATC's as apart of your matches design for placement inside of your matchbox - this will be for fulfillment of the 5 matches inside requirement; however you'd like to do it, there must be 5 decorated matches inside.&#13;
&#13;
One Partner, One Matchbox in Red (primary color) and one accent color. At least 5 decorated matches inside of your box.&#13;
&#13;
Not for the Newbie. - Questionable swappers will be removed prior to partner assignment.&#13;
&#13;
Need at least 3 participants for this to be a go.</description><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Favorite Quote Postcard Swap!</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40531</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40531</guid><description>Send your partner a postcard with your favorite quote (or one of them) on it.&#13;
&#13;
The quote can be a popular saying, a quote from a notable person, or even a line from a poem or song.  Your choice.&#13;
&#13;
The postcard can be handmade or store-bought, and it can either have the quote on the front or the back.  The design can be of anything, but try to make it something your partner would like.&#13;

Some kids have a hard time with going back to school and some love it, but all kids love receiving a package geared just for them!  You must have something in your profile geared to your kids or leave it in the comments section here and please include age or grade level so the package is appropriate. If you have more than one kid you can ask that the package be split between them, or list which child will be getting this swap.&#13;
&#13;
The package you make should be valued at no less than $5 before shipping.  You can include a handmade gift, but it should also include a couple of school supplies.  There should be lots of sales coming up at the stores around you so keep your eyes open.  &#13;
&#13;
This swap is only available to swappers who have at least 10 snail mail swaps and a no less than a 4.95 rating.  Contact me if you think you have been rated unfairly.  This swap is for kids and I want to make sure no-one is flaked on!  </description><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Dog Days of Summer Recipe Swap</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40523</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/40523</guid><description>According to Wikipedia:  the phrase Dog Days or "the dog days of summer", Latin: Caniculae, Caniculares dies, refers to the hottest, most sultry days of summer.   &#13;

For this swap you will buy something for your partner from their amazon wishlist or etsy favorites. The gift will be $10 before shipping. You can buy one item or several as long as it ads up to at least $10.  &#13;
Please be sure to have a Working link on your profile page to one or both of these sites!!! When buying it please have it sent directly to your partner.

&#13;
For this swap, we'll create a Hello Kitty themed package for our partner. This swap should be $15-20 before shipping. This is NOT a stationary swap. Unless your partner specifically wants those type of items and then the two of you can work that out. Types of items you can include:  A Hello Kitty Plush, Hello Kitty Fabric, Hello Kitty pouches &amp; handbags, HK journal, HK tin container, etc. **There are a tons of places online to buy HK, but if online shopping is not an option for you, then I've found my local Michael's craft store has a Hello Kitty section with lots of cute handbags and stuff!!&#13;
&#13;
Also, lets decorate the package in a cute fun way! Use stickers, deco tape, whatever!!&#13;
&#13;
Now for the nitty gritty. No unexplained no sends. 4.9 rating or above. At least 25 swaps completed~ email swaps do not count.&#13;
Sorry for the harsh requirements, but I cannot afford to angel this right now.&#13;

&#13;
This swap is US only. Feel free to do an International version.&#13;
