Handmade from the heart

I'm a maker, a crafter, a creator, an artist if you will. To share my passion, to bring joy, laughter, a tiny bit of happiness to someone else. That's my ultimate goal. I love making and sharing my craft.

You don't have to be Davinci to create something from the heart, but you do have to be FEARLESS, when sharing your craft with others. In life i'd like to compel you all to be FEARLESS.

So for this swap, I want you to step outside your comfort zone, push your despair out, I want you to try something unusual, try a color that you never use and make something SPECTACULAR for your partner!

If your in a bad mood, cut something, tear it, slam it, burn it, to release some tension, and then paint over it! Sew it back up! The goal here is to use art to move past your pain for just a moment!

I dabble in mixed media, I make ATCs, postcards, journals. I sew hangbags, totes, pouches, I refurbish stuff! AND i'm sure many of you make wonderful things too, so let's do it. Take a little time each day and put together something FUN, anything you wish.

If your making smalls like, inchies, ATCs,postcards, why not make a few, let's make a gift of it.

The options are endless, but creativity must be unparallel!

It goes without saying, no poor quality work! No poor swappers or late sends (with prior communication of course)

This is my first swap here so i'd love to see many members joining to help bring some fun to another member! Don't be shy, share your art with us, be it a stapled paper journal, staple the hell out of it, add some sparkle, kind words and mail that baby out!!

4.99 to swap in my swaps, 1's and 3's must be addressed : ) I angel all my swaps and there you have it!!

p.s. I'm a craft nut sooooo most of my swaps will be a little nutty, I like to push the envelope, I like to try new things and I like to have fun doing it! Art is contagious baby!!

LASTLY, if your not a maker but you still want to swap something fun, I welcome you to do a bit of shopping to send your partner a profile based gift, but something in the package must have your heart put into it, maybe a letter or colored card! This way no one is excluded from participation. I know that mixing handmade and store bought is unheard of but hell it's our swap, we can do what we want SO.. let's just do it.. Makers /Non Makers Alike : )
