A Creative swap?

[CityGirlintheCountry]

I know we do egg swaps out the yin yang here, but has anyone ever done a craft swap?

Me: I offer two pairs of knitted baby booties (and post appropriate pic)
Swapper 2- I take the booties and offer 4 bars of home made soap (listing flavors and maybe a picture)
Swapper 3- I take the soap and offer crocheted dishtowels (with picture posted)
Me: I take the dishtowels and offer tatted Christmas ornaments (with pictures)

etc, etc, etc

I'm not exactly sure of the logistics other than to run it like the egg swaps with the giver paying the postage for the thing they are mailing. The problem I can see is value. If one person posted like a quilt of afghan and the takee only offered up a hotpad or something, things could quickly get out of balance. Dunno. It just seemed like it could be fun. There are some incredibly talented people on here and I love handcrafted things.

Any thoughts on the matter?

I like it. Sounds like a fun swap.
You'll need a rule about approximate value of swap, like maybe item that would go for $10 or less at a craft show/sale.

its probly worth 15$

So do we think the swap thread would live under hobbies or under Everything Else Buy/Sell/Trade?

This sounds like so much fun...too bad I don't have a creative bone in my body!

I would put a $10-20 range on the items, so everyone was getting approx the same value of item. And yes, it would go under BST thread, IMO.
