This trade is about cleaning out your craft closet and using up those leftovers or materials that never quite came to fruition. Bring out the leftovers and make them into something beautiful.

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 April 14. 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 April 17, 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, yarn, beads, trims, buttons, clothing items, stamps, small wooden items, shells, glitter, paint, corks, fake/dried flowers, found objects, craft kits, etc.
***Make sure to include any relevant info about the items as well as your mailing and email address.***

3. Create something fabulous with the treasures you receive.

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

5. Ship the completed project by May 8.

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

Any questions? Message me.

  • how feasable is it to take part if I'm in the UK - I feel like a lost little thing stuck in the corner (no wait, that's my leftover box!)
    • "Nobody puts Ness in the corner!" Sorry, gratuitous Dirty Dancing reference.

      I'd say it's very feasible. The only issue is the extra shipping cost and time. Domestic shipping for a 5 lb package is $5-10, to the UK is more like $30. Your trade partner would be paying an extra $20. I'm sure we could figure something out. Perhaps you could try for lighter items like paper or yarn crafts? I don't know what kind of leftovers you were thinking (the anvil decorating kit would probably not be the best choice). Also, both you and your trade partner would need to be a bit more conscious of deadlines and shipping times.

      What do you other vixens think?
      • Sure, we could work something out. Maybe the other vixens could all donate a dollar or two, send it to the trader/tradee to help with the shipping? I couldn't afford it by myself for a trade, but with help? We don't want you feeling all alone.

        (Anne, loved the Baby reference. Got it right away).
