This trade is about cleaning out your craft closet and using up those holiday leftovers. You're gonna take that turkey carcass and make soup, mashed potatoes will get baked into bread, and cranberry sauce will become a dessert topping. Heck, they don't even have to be holiday leftovers, just those items you've been meaning to get to.

But here's the catch . . . they won't be your leftovers . . . they will be another vixen's.

1. Message me (Anne) with your intent to participate, mailing address, AND email address by January 19. In addition, please include the basics of what you'll be sending out (ex: yarn, felt, and googley eyes) and your crafting skills (knitting, beading, and paper crafts). I won't spoil the surprise, but I do want to make sure people can work with what they get. Whenever possible, I will pair up vixens so they are trading supplies and completed items with each other.

2. On January 20, receive an address and Tribe name (and profile link) of the person to which you are sending your leftovers.

3. Ship out your supplies. I'm not making any rules about what they might be, but please be considerate. The items should be clean and in good shape. Some examples: paper scraps, photographs, fabric remnants, yarn, beads, trims, buttons, clothing items, stamps, small wooden items, shells, glitter, paint, corks, fake/dried flowers, etc.
***Make sure to include any relevant info about the items as well as your mailing and email address.***

3. Create something fabulous with these treasures.

4. Your additional materials should cost between $0-10.00.

5. Ship the completed project by February 21.

6. Wait for your little lump of crafty leftover goodness to arrive.

Any questions? Message me.

  • Let me see if I got this...
    I send someone my leftovers and they make me something out of it and send it back to me?!?!?!!?!?
    • has anyone seen the show craft corner death match, where contestants are given materials and told to create a specific item from them in a timed competiton? the winner then competes with the craft lady of steel; it's hilarious.
