Swap Idea

I've been thinking about another swap. Ingrid and I chatted about this idea last year when I did the box swap so I thought I might put it out there and see what everyone thinks.

Basically there would be 11 people in the swap (if there was more we could do 2 or more groups). You would make 10 items of the same thing that will fit in a large pre-paid satchel (I think they are around $10) and send them to me as well as an empty satchel. Each person would then get back a satchel with 10 different items in it.

Thoughts, ideas, comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that's a great idea - just give plenty of time to make 10!

Leah said...

I agree - lovely idea ;)

Karen said...

Oooh Cass - I like it. Producing more than one of an item is always quicker too!! (Says the woman with twins to sew for!)
Bet you get about 100 people sign up for it though!

please! Sounds great, I have a few ideas already.

Rachael said...

A lovely idea but I agree with MsPops, lots of tuime needed for 10 things! I have trouble getting one posted...

Xena said...

Yes I'll be in on it...great idea!

Leah said...

Ooh yes please Cass!

I've never done a swap. I might be keen, but I'm thinking there's a little too much freedom in this for me. Any guidelines on colour or theme or value?

Kat said...

I think that is an awesome idea! I love doing swaps. I agree with Amy's suggestion of having some sort of theme as well.

Michelle said...

Sounds great. I would need plenty of time to make 10 of something though.

Carolyn said...

that does sound like a good idea... do you and ingrid live close coz that would be more than a 1 person job?

Lark said...

Yesss! I love the idea, I haven't done a swap in ages, please count me in!

Oh I know I shouldn't, but I really want to, I will get back to you. I think it is a great idea and it will make for a fantastic opening day!

I'm in too Cass. Looks like we may need to get two groups running?

AJ said...

Sounds good Cass....i wonder if people are stuck for time...then you could add a twist and that way you don't have group size issues....if you send 6 you get 6..if you send 10 you get 10??? It would be random of course as to which 6 or 10 (or 20 :P) you get...IYKWIM...just a thought!

Suzanne said...

Oh wow, sounds exciting ;) I would love to be involved. I am not sure what I would make yet, I will have to have a think. (Carolyn pointed me over here)

Just wondering if we need to submit our idea to the organiser? 10 of some things would be nice, but 10 pin cushions might be a bit much? Or have I got the wrong idea?

I would love to join in too!!
