Alright so I don't know if this has ever been done before, but IF this goes over well, I will think about doing a series of these.

This swap is to create something USEFUL (ie no atc/inchies etc...)

Have you ever thought "oooooo...that looks like something fun to create" or "hmmmm I see this sweater in my closet, but it could be re purposed in a way" such as creating something out of the yarn, making a pillow cover, or something like that. Or you want to try to make something out of plarn, or you find a cute something out of the "junk store" that could use a bit of fixing up and would be cute? These are just some ideas, there are a billion ideas out there...here are some sites for ideas....

These are just a few ideas for projects but I know there's A LOT of Crafty Gal's out there that can/have came out with idea's for creating things. This is sender's choice, because some projects are very time consuming, and we all would like to receive something nice in the mail, but I'd like this to be a quick turn around too, so make something useful or decorative, but don't make something that takes 5 minutes, put some time into it and thought too, because, I don't want to spend 5 hours making something and recieve something that took someone 5 minutes to make, and in your note let the person know where you came up with the idea for your project. HAVE FUN with this, and lets get green and crafty!!!!!

Hi Jenn, There's a whole group that does just this....it's called CRafty Recyclers and can be found HERE We have lots of group swaps each month based around helping the environment through Crafty Recycling and our members host public green swaps also. It's the least we can do to help our planet.
Thanks for being Green and hosting a Green swap!

@ wolfeagle, I got the invite and accepted, thank you, I didn't know that there was a group like this out there. Don't mean to step on toes by hosting this swap, sorry if I did, in advance! :) Happy upcycling!
