I'm not sure if anybody else likes this sort of theme.I suppose we'll see. I love all things ocean related. Ships, whales, shells, squid, treasure, pirates, lighthouses, colorful octopuses, anchors, jellyfish, sailors you catch my drift I think . I don't know what it is that is so beautiful to me, but hopefully others agree.

This will be a 7 point swap. I have seen this system other places but not so much around here so I'll explain.

Essentially things are broken down into 'small' 'medium' or 'large' categories. Although it doesn't necessarily have to be based on literal size. Each size is given a point value.

Small (inexpensive/takes less than an hour to make): 1 point
Medium(middle range $ worth/takes about an hour to make): 2 points
Large (On the more expensive side/large/took over an hour): 3 points

The basic idea is to send items that are of the different sizes that equate to 7 points. This is in an effort to make the packages equal in value without actually putting a price limit on them because afterall, handmade is always best in my opinion.

Remember you can do any number of combos 2 small items a medium and a large, a large and 4 small etc.

Examples: Small things: buttons, pins, earrings Medium things:set of cards and envies, necklace, several postcards Large things: Journal, tote bag with related image, stuffies

Other ideas to get the wheels turning: filled matchbox, dotees, stationary, fat quarters of fabric, drawings/paintings, charms anything goes. But please do more than one type of item.

Those are just some ideas.

You will have one partner. This is international, you must have 4.8 ratings with no recent no sends or poor ratings without explanation. Please have fun! Be creative! and ask questions I know this is set up differently than usual swaps.

EDIT

Newbies are welcome as long as they have a filled out profile and take it seriously.

Please take advantage of the comments section to put specific likes/preferences and dislikes. Note that this does not mean you get what you ask for its just something for your partner to take into consideration and use for inspiration.
