Description:

The new series of WOODEN HOUSES starts in November. The themes below are in stone, so if you're really enthusiastic, you can start them early.

There is a thread in the forum titled 'can you cut WOOD.' There are pictures and inspiration for you there. Also if you have questions you can ask there as well.

This will be a monthly swap for 12 months. Each month will have a theme.. These houses can be decoupaged, beaded, painted, classy chic, somerset style, you name it. I have also seen them made into fishing shacks, restaurants and saloons. Let your imagination get the best of you.

The houses are cut from EITHER a pieces of 2 x 4 or 1x4. Not to be taller than 7". Please use different angle cuts at the roof area so everyone doesn't receive all perfectly cut roofs. (pics on thread)

PLEASE sand any rough edges to smooth. This will be a part of the rate you receive for the overall project.

Low down;

ONE house. Edges must be smoothed. No special requests. Try not send the same roof style every month (see thread in forum)

ALL CQ members are encouraged to participate. But PLEASE, if you don't think you can send out a great quality swap, please don't join.

Sending late will not be tolerated since there is a 12 month time frame to do them in.

Nov: MUSICAL

Dec: snowflake

Jan; newspaper

Feb; dragonfly

March; free choice

April: flower

May: bird

June: a key

July: an animal or animal print

Aug; any game piece

Sept; butterfly'

Oct; Button

So each month you will have to incorporate the item for that month.

The color of the house is entirely up to the crafter/sender.

EDIT: YOU MAY PURCHASE THE WOODEN HOUSE PRE-MADE IF THE DIMENSIONS ARE RIGHT.

HAVE A BLAST!

Ahhhh, what the heck. If a man can't do a wood swap with the Crafting Queens, he might as well get out of the group. I'm in!

I joined this swap initially, but I have had to move it to my watch list.. My wife is having surgery to remove a tumor from her pituitary on the 18th (but might be moved up to the 11th) and I don't want to put myself in a position to flake. Don't know how things will turn out right now, but I may rejoin if things go well. Sorry.

So sorry to hear this info JD! My thought are with you guys~

ABSOLUTELY NO STICKER SLAPPING. GLITTER AND STICKERS IS NOT A QUALITY HOUSE!!! There is a FLickr group to see some of the amazing work. IF you can't help yourself from just meeting minimum requirements, please refrain.
