3. You agree to the following:
      a. Create or buy (from a local crafter, Etsy, etc.) at least 3 handmade items
      for your swap partner and create a package with them that they (and even
      you yourself) would love.  These can be anything, from any materials, but
      they must be handmade.
      b. Respond to any emails either the hosts send you to verify you are still
      participating in the swap and actively ready to send your package.

      we have matched you with.

      as well as your partner.
      e. Be home to receive your package (or make arrangements to receive it)
      between the 7th and 14th of May.
      f. Create a post showing off your package (pictures are required) that you
      received, and then link it up with the swap so everyone can see! :)
4. Follow both Miss Angie and Beth on their blogs so that we can actively communicate with you, and follow you back! 
      a. If you are a private blogger, you will need to allow both hosts as well
      as your swap partner to see your blog.

FAQ

Do you have to be a super crafter to participate? Nope! You'd be surprised at what counts as handmade! You could even bake cookies and it would count.  If you're an artist you can paint, draw, or anything that is handmade!

Do I have to make it myself?   Nope.  That's why you're welcome to use Etsy, local crafters, a friend, or anywhere you can get something handmade.  The only rule is that the items must be handmade by someone.  :)

  4. No price limit at all! Just make sure it's handmade, and something your partner would like (if it's something YOU would love to receive, it's golden).

    We're not setting a price limit because handmade items vary widely in cost of materials, time required to make them, and effort/skill level in the making of them. :)
