Description:

Since joining Swap-Bot, something I've fallen in love with is Whimsey Jars! I love shopping for things I can put in them and have been making some up already. I can't be the only one. I will be doing a series I call "Color Me Whimsey" Create a whimsey jar filled with the color theme of the swap. If you do every swap you will end up with a rainbow of whimsey jars plus a few extra.

LAST SWAP OF THE SERIES!

For those who may be new to whimsey jars, they are jars filled with all kinds of goodies (crafts supplies, stickers, candy etc). Jars should be at least 12 oz and could be plastic or glass. However they should also be decorated on the outside. I personally use recycled pasta jars. I find they work the best. (Cleaned first of course)

This swap will be swap twelve and is themed to the color GRAY AND/OR SILVER. This is a little different then the previous swaps. You can make either an all GRAY whimsey jar, and all SILVER tone whimsey jar or a jar that is a mixture of the two. Senders choice. Please send clean items. No garbage. This is not a good swap to get rid of dirty items. It may be a good opportunity to pass along some quality items you may not yourself use. Please send something you would like to receive.

Newbies allowed with filled out profile. Please no recent 1s or 3s. I will be checking profiles. I also just up-ed my rating requirement for my swaps. I have been hearing bad reports of flakers targeting my swaps. I feel terrible. Let me know if this happens so I can help people out. These swaps are too big to get flaked on.

Hi I just joined swapbot but have been into crafts for years and would love to do this swap im still updating my profile as im doing it from my phone but i am definitely not someone who will flake as i would not want some one disappointed or to be the one who got flaked on.Honestly I don't understand the whole flaking thing swapping is not a law, rule or need so why sign up if you are not going to do it as the rules state, You can clearly view what is expected for each swap up front so it totally floors me that you have issues such as not following through when it seems fairly simple to me to not sign up if u out can not do it and t OK me a true craft lover would enjoy the chance to decorate a great little gift for someone and get new toys in return , but with that said I will be adding more to my profile such as likes and dislikes and other sections as im still very new and checking other profiles out to get an idea of what info people like to add and see on other profiles but I would so love to join and do this swap as one of my first and can very much decorate a jar and fill it with goodies for someone to use to make a project amazing .So with all that said PLEASE ALSO T O JOIN THIS SWAP AND START MY JOURNEY OF SWAPPING! I can promise (though I know these days words are not much but at this point words are all I can offer) I will do my very best making the jar adorable and filling it with goodies to make someone's day a little brighter with new inspiration to scrap or make cards etc and hopefully get the same in return. Though with all the talk of flakes and thoose who half a## swaps I will understand if a newbie such as myself is not what you b are looking for to be part of your creative swap so either way I hope it turns out great qnd you get many great swappers and no flamers

People will flake because they willl sign up for a bunch of swaps and yes there is no 'law' against flaking which means people will just get free stuff in the mail without sending anything themselves. Its rude and will get you banned quickly but there is always a risk. Yes I dont understand flakers either. I rather not flake and continue being able to get mail and have a good time swapping.
