"That Thing You Do" Surprise Grab Bag Trade

2008-04-19T03:13:58Z

Whatever it is that you're currently doing, take one, put it in a box and wait for your partner's address. Do the usual and PM me your info. Let's do a rather quick turnaround so no one stresses overmuch. I can be ready with mine in two weeks tops. If I give out addresses at the end of next week (that'd be March 29th-ish) Would everyone be ready?

Remember, you're not making anything FOR someone, so you don't need names in advance. If you're in, go ahead and PM me, but you don't even have to say here if you're in. That could be fun, not knowing who's in and who's not. I won't mention who's in. You don't even have to tell me until next week. One person and myself are already committed, so it's on. I won't even tell you if it's round robin or straight trade!

Ready? GO!!!

side trade

2008-02-11T21:11:23Z

Tatt and I did a little trade reciently. He had mentioned that he really liked one of my Santa Stained Glass Suncatchers and wanted to know if I would be interested in a trade. Well of course always up for a trade.

Today in the mail arrived a beautiful tatted collor that Tatt made me. If he doesn't have pictures I will take some this is a beautiful piece! Thank you Tatt.

Here is what I sent Tatt http://people.tribe.net/841cd69d-9ba1-4da1-8adc-f5393d22a144/photos/db11cb49-a44b-4545-b194-253edf9c6adb

Quilt project

2008-02-03T20:15:54Z

Tatt and I had decided to make a quilt and we thought it might be fun to do it on tribe and invite people. We will be making our own quilts, not trading or anything. We are going to post about it in my Let's Play tribe. Here is a link for anyone who might want to join or just watch us!

next trade?

2008-01-24T06:39:01Z

I don't know that I can commit yet, but I'm starting the conversation... ha ha ha ! You know I'll get sucked in.

Anyone up for a leftovers trade? I actually have a pic I recently took of some stuff I'm cleaning out of my studio...

Nothing too exciting but has some potential....

Any other ideas we've been burning to try?

Holiday Helper Trade

2008-01-18T16:48:40Z

I sent out partners, and have a couple comments.

First, I paired up Tracey and Ms. Smart, before I saw they've traded recently. (doh!) If this is a problem, let's discuss it here and maybe another pair can switch with them.

Also, with tribe being all squirrelly, it might be a good idea to trade email addresses with your partner to continue conversations if tribe goes down.

Remember, with this trade, your mission is to be a Holiday Helper, so it's appropriate to communicate with your partner about what would make their holiday season happier!

The deadline for this trade is, of course, any time before or during the holiday season!

Happy Trading!

Patty's Holiday Basket (side trade)

2008-01-07T19:29:17Z

During the holiday trade, Patty and I did a little side trade of our own. I am so glad to finally do this, I now have 2 beautiful mirrors, one with an awesomely bold pirate theme!

I have posted pics with some comments in the album of the basket I made for her. I learned a lot along the way with various materials. It was a lot of fun.

Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice

2007-11-05T21:02:52Z

You pick your medium and craft up something good and autumny. Anything goes; paper crafts, fabric, knitting, welding, whatever floats your autumn boat.

You have until next Thursday(the 27th) to express your interest. PM me with your snail mail and e-mail address and I'll give everybody their trade partners by Saturday the 29th.

I'm thinking the finished projects should be in the mail no later than October 19th.
Keep your cost for materials under $10.

Yay!

Paper Collage Voo-Doo Doll Trade

2007-08-29T05:36:34Z

Here's the idea:

1)Think about something you'd like to see more of in your life be it peace, abundance, knowledge, love, fun, whatever.
2) Collect some clippings, scraps, postcards, you know- collagey stuffs- that represent that to you. Doesn't have to make any logical sense.
3) Send the stuffs to your trade partner. You can tell your partner what you're after or not as you wish.
4) Make a paper doll with at least some of the clippings you recieved. Feel free to add other stuff.
5) Send the resulting Voo-Doo doll back to your partner.
6) Say "Ooo!" and "Ahhh!"

Your collage paper doll can be a traditional one with clothes, or a less traditional one, as long as it has some human characteristics. Take a look at the "Where's My Traders" Topic for links to both kinds.

Voo-Doo here is not meant in any religious or satanic sense. Voo-Doo dolls are for entertainment purposes only.

Lucky Numbers Trade

2007-06-21T03:03:12Z

Ok, so here's the deal:

Please PM me by Monday, May 7th if you would like to play.

What to include:

Your name
Your snail mail
Your email
Your lucky number(or unlucky number if you so may choose)

The rules: I will send out your Number trades by Thursday, May 10th via regular email. (but likely sooner than that) Please check your junk mail boxes to insure the email isnt there if you havent gotten it.Oh, and I'm going to mix up trade partners, so who you are crafting for might not have you!! I think I might have Alan (my hubby) match up names so its super fair.

Once you receive your number, let the creative juices flow. You can use ANY artistic form that you desire, as long as the person's lucky number is CLEARLY represented in your art.

Do not spend more than $10 creating your masterpiece.

Ship your lovely treasure to your happy tradee no later than Thursday May 24th. If you cannot get finished in time, please let me know IMMEDIATELY. it's not fair to others who are participating.

Um.... I think thats it.

Hometown Purse Trade

2007-03-18T04:44:52Z

It's the first trade of 2007.

(TADAAAAAAAH!)

HOW TO PARTICIPATE (please read carefully):

1. Tribe Message me (Anne) with your mailing address, and email address by Monday January 29th. If I do not receive those two pieces of information via tribe message, you won't be signed up. Responding in thread does not count, do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

2. On January 30th, receive the mailing address, Tribe name and profile link of the person to which you are sending your item.

3. Now think about your hometown: what makes it famous (or infamous)? what does it look like? smell like? sound like? what does it mean to you? Think about how you can create a purse that embodies your village, city or town. Will it be a subtle nod to the sights and sounds of Hometown, USA/CANADA/UK? or is it an unmistakable homage to the biggest brightest symbol of your town?

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

5. Ship it to the address you've been given by February 15 (or as close to that as possible). If you are going to be late or some kind of disaster has struck, then please contact me or your trade partner. If you are very very late, unresponsive or just plain flaky, you will likely be removed from the tribe. That would suck.

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

Any questions? Message me.

new trade idea :)

2006-12-23T04:06:07Z

what about a cool piccy trade?

a favorite photo, a child's crayon drawing, a note pad sketch while waiting on the phone... something fun and simple to stick on the old frig for awhile, and its only 39 cents to mail....

to make it personal, maybe include a note why you sent that particular piccy to someone - maybe you send a child's crayon drawing to a tradee who doesnt see her grandchildren often, or a picture of the ocean to someone who is landlocked... a notepad sketch of a house to someone who is looking for their first home....

read about your trade partner, email a few times about silly things, and see what happens....

let me know what you guys think, and ill organize it.

feed back welcomed and appreciated... i know the holidays are coming, but i thought a simple trade would be fun amongst the madness!

Crafty Card Trade

2006-12-02T03:12:25Z

Here it is! The Crafty Card Trade! Let's see how many people are interested. We'll probably limit the number to 11 people. If we have more interest, we'll create another group. If it's close, say 12 people, then we'll discuss whether or not the group wants to make more cards. Here's what we'll do:

Create 10 or so greeting cards in any medium. We'll decide the exact number when we've got everyone signed up. Obviously, you don't have to make a card for yourself! Computer made cards are fine, if they're original and artistic (think Ms. Smart, not Hallmark online), as are collaged or painted cards. They can be 10 different cards, or 10 the same or some combination. The subject should be non-religious in nature and be blank inside. Make them a mailable size and include envelopes of the appropriate size. Please sign your cards either on the front or the back, so we'll know who made them. It would be a good idea to photograph or scan your card or cards before sending them out, so we can all post ours when everyone gets theirs.

I'm going to ask that people send a few dollars to cover shipping along with their cards. I'm thinking $4. Send your cards in a standard sized (10" x14" or so) padded manilla envelope that can be reused to send your cards to you.

If you're interested, say so here and PM me with your address. I'll PM mine back to you. Everyone will ship their cards to me, then I'll redistribute and send cards back to everyone. Since everyone has to wait until the last person has sent their to me, I'm asking that everyone do their best to make the deadline. We're getting close to the holidays, so be sure you're able to come through before committing! I can't wait to get cards from everyone! YAY!!

How about

2006-11-30T06:39:21Z

A New Year's trade? Kerry is doing a cool little trade that will be done quick, I was wondering if we would do a Christmas trade, but I think the idea of a New Year's trade is pretty good. It could focus on everyone doing some new craft they have never tried before or some sort of good luck item to ring in the new year? What do you guys think? I know we are all really busy this time of the year, but I think I could fit it in if I had an entire month to deal with it!!

Ms Smart

2006-10-16T05:33:40Z

I received my tiny treasure today - all I can say is - it took my breath away. Ms. Smart made me a tiny healing book. It has pictures and inspirational saying and it's just the most wonderful gift I have ever received.

One of the reasons it is sooooooooooooooooo special is because four years ago I developed a condition that leaves me in almost constant pain. Ms Smart took the time to read the ramblings on my tribe page - the only way she could have know about it - and made me something that would be special to me - believe me it is special to me.

I can't put into words how much it means to me that she took the time to get to know me and my "secrets". It just takes my breath away.

I can't thank her enough.

Old School Craft, part2

2006-09-14T15:54:21Z

I know I said I would ship Thursday, which is, ahem, today, I 'm starting to think this crafty thing is going Saturday. I got a little more involved in it then I had planned. But it is a really cool thing, and I just can't help but add more stuff, suddenly I am gluing beans and have to wait for a side to dry and move on. Ooops didn't think the whole process through, but this is fun. Maybe the bestest trade ever.

Next Trade

2006-09-11T22:29:11Z

I have officially discussed this with Anne now and I will monitor the next trade, give her a chance to just have fun this time. In our other thread there were 2 strong ideas, the paper doll trade and the tiny precious trade. How about if we have a vote here for what we want. Anyone who wants can put in their vote over the next 2 days and then I will post a trade sign up thread.

A description of the two:

Paper doll trade could be something fun, Kathleen had posted a link in the other thread and it has some pretty cool ideas on it. I think it is something anyone could do, and, as I posted, you would not have to limit yourself to paper, as I know there are quilts made with a paperdoll theme. Here is the link from Kathleen:

http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/dolls.html

A tiny precious trade would also be very cool and easy on shipping costs (one would hope), and nobody would probably have to have a special box made for shipping either. It would be any item, but would have to fit within a certain size, let's say 1" X 1" X 1" would be the smallest and 3" X 3" X 3" would be the largest. There would be no limit to what type of craft you do, just that it be tiny, let your imaginations go wild!!

Please everyone let me know, just by posting either paper doll or tiny precious, what you would like to do. I think Anne would agree that whatever we don't do this time we can do next time!! I am having a hard time deciding myself because I would so love to do both!!

Hey... stop painting the dog...

2006-07-30T22:16:22Z

Hi all,

I know we are in the throes of another trade and I am excited(somebody please remind me to email Anne!!)

In chatting to my 11 year old daughter she is excited and was wondering about doing a trade for kids her age as well. I do not really want to let her loose on Tribe.net and I couldn't really find anything outside the Tribe so I am a-wondering...

We are all crafty and so it stands to reason we have crafty minions at our beck and call (OKOKOK, sons and daughters/nieces and nephews for you touchy feely parent types). Is there any interest in organizing a small trade for them? If Anne guides me then I would be happy to wrangle them or I can stand back and be a patroness of High Macrame/Macaroni Art of the Under 15 set...

Let me know. My daughter is eager to find a Crafty Trading pal. Goddess knows we have enough craft stuff for both of us...

Peace,
K

Okay, the Inspiration Trade is winding down and it's time to think about the next one. I have a couple ideas in mind, but I really want this to be a collaborative thing.

Are there any trades you'd like to try?
Any themes you'd like to explore?
Maybe crafting for a cause? http://www.kitchenlink.com/crafting.html

Inspiration Trade

2006-06-28T22:35:48Z

Inspiration Trade!

When I craft, I often get little phrases stuck in my head "where did they go on vacation?," "green fish scales," "Happy Anniversary!" I was thinking, wouldn't it be interesting to hear what words swirl around in other people's heads?

So, gather a little smattering of words together. They can be a few sentences, rhyming, nonsensical, or anything you please. Submit them with your message telling me you'd like to participate. Later, you'll receive another vixen's words of inspiration. These words are meant to be an inspiration, a starting point, but not a part of the final project. For example, I might receive the words "the leaves rush and rustle in the cold wind" and knit a scarf to keep out the cold, or bind a mini-book full of drawings of trees, or make a necklace from painted wooden beads. I would try and avoid simply making something that included those words in the end result. But if the words really speak to you, then go forth!

1. Message me (Anne) with your wonderful words, intent to participate, mailing address, AND email address by June 9.

2. On June 11, receive the words, address and Tribe name (and profile link) of the person to which you are sending your item.

3. Ponder their words and what they conjure up for you. Does a literal interpretation spring into mind? or does it start a train of thought leading elsewhere? Are you sending back a reply? an answer? a question? a punchline?

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

5. Ship it to the address you've been given by June 30.

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

Any questions? Message me.

Leftovers Trade, Part Deux

2006-04-30T23:59:54Z

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.

Want to do Leftovers Again?

2006-04-05T13:48:14Z

Hi All,
I loved this trade so much I was wondering if others thought we should do it again?
Maybe we could do a Person A sends supplies to Person B, Person B sends crafted item to Person C kind of thing this time. Or just do it the same way again.
What do you think Anne?
What do you guys think?

Leftovers Trade, item received

2006-03-22T03:15:05Z

Andrea received my items: yarn, crochet hook, Stiffy glue and a general idea that I heard you could crochet bowls and vases from yarn, then stiffen it.

She did a lovely job, and I will post photos, so please check the photo album!

Thanks Andrea... she mentioned she was new at crochet and I think she has tremendous skills already! Can't wait to see what she crochets next!

This is a fun trade!

Leftovers Trade

2006-01-20T16:35:40Z

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.

A 2006 trade?

2006-01-13T00:06:12Z

Do we have one in the works?

posted in Crafty Trade - 4 replies

The next big thing . . .

2006-01-10T01:20:26Z

Okay, so I'm mulling over ideas for the next trade. I was thinking it would be nice to do at least one trade that would be about donation or fundraising.

I was thinking of http://www.projectlinus.org/faq.shtml I bet we all have some idea for a blanket, quilt, afghan, etc. There are even no-sew options.

Or traders could make almost anything to be sold through Crafters United and Etsy http://www.craftrevolution.com/donate.htm

What do you think? Yay or nay?

Spooktacular Trade!

2005-11-19T01:33:24Z

Okay, the next trade might be spine-tingling, bone-shaking, or just plain autumnal. It's a Crafty Halloween Trade!

What does October 31st mean to you? Fabulous decorations? Kooky costumes? A time to reflect on your mortality? The cycle of the seasons? Whatever the case may be, it's a good excuse to get crafty.

Here's the deal:
1. Message me (Anne) with your intent to participate, mailing address, AND email address by September 25. No email address, no swap-a-ramma-ding-dong!
2. On September 26 receive an address and Tribe name (and profile link) of the person to which you are sending your item.
3. Create something spooktacular (I apologize for the overuse of this word, I can't help it!).
4. Your materials should cost between $0-10.00.
5. Ship it to the address you've been given by October 14.
6. Wait for your little lump of Halloween goodness to arrive.
7. No one gets left out, if you cannot complete your trade, email me (Anne) and I will make sure that your addressee receives a trade item.

Happy Hallooooooooooooween!

$$$

2005-11-19T00:07:54Z

As I ponder the next trade, I wanted to ask about the $10 limit on trade materials.

How do you feel about it? Is it too low? Does it help or hinder your creativity?
Should we raise it to something like $15 or $20?

My original idea was to set a limit on materials to help keep the costs low and encourage plenty of participants. But, if it's inhibiting your craftiness, then I'm eager for suggestions and feedback from you vixens.

Repurposing Trade

2005-09-24T06:50:21Z

The Repurposing Trade!

This trade is all about reclaiming, reusing, and reinventing. Your crafty mission, if you choose to accept it, is to look for materials with fresh eyes. Is there something you've been collecting for just for the heck of it? Have you always wanted to see what you could make with the fabric from that old tablecloth? What about that pile of wine corks? toothpicks? feathers? scrap fabric? tongue depressors? So, investigate your craft leftovers, recycling bin, local dumpster, good will, etc. and get creative!

1. Message me (Anne) with your intent to participate, mailing address, AND email address by August 18. No email address, no swap-a-ramma-ding-dong!

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

3. Create something fabulous and reclaimed, reused, or reinvented!

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

5. Ship it to the address you've been given by September 12.

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

7. No one gets left out, if you cannot complete your trade, email me (Anne) and I will make sure that your addressee receives a package. So simple, so easy, right?

Any questions? Message me.

Backyard Goodies

2005-09-22T01:36:57Z

Anne,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

I recieved this wonderful purse with fabric leaves all over it inspired by the wonderful plants in her backyard. I can't decide if i want to use it, or display it on my wall. Superb.. It absolutely rocks!!!! I will try to get a picture up, but my camera has been doing some very weird things lately..

Cheers,
DV

So, what's the next trade? I missed the last one but I'm all ready now for another one! soooo...? Haloween? The "holidays"? Fall or winter? Girl/boys' night in or... night out? What do you guys think?

posted in Crafty Trade - 14 replies

Follow through

2005-09-12T16:51:42Z

I just thought I would mention, since neither Anne nor I got anything from the Backyard trade, if you are thinking about signing up for one of these, please have the courtesy to follow through. I am still bummed. This trade is supposed to be fun, but if you don't do your part of the bargain, someone is left out.

So, I propose that if you just can't get anything made, pass on the gift that you receive. At least it is fair for everyone that way, and no one who participates gets left out.

the Next Big Thing!

2005-08-05T19:12:47Z

Okay, as we're wrapping up the Backyard trade, I'm starting to think about the next one.

I was kicking around the idea of crafty repurposing. You know, spoon rings, sock monkeys, and pop tab purses?

What if we went for creating items with unexpected materials?

Let me know what you think!

Backyard Trade

2005-07-31T02:03:46Z

Your Big Backyard!

This trade is about celebrating what’s around you. Do you live near the ocean, mountains, woods, desert, or concrete jungle? Bring some of that into the colors, textures, shapes, or design of your item. How do you make a pair of earrings that that express the citylights? Can a scarf convey the beauty of a rushing river? It’s your mission to find out.

1. Message me (Anne) with your intent to participate, mailing address, AND email address by June 30. No email address, no swap-a-ramma-ding-dong!

2. On July 2 receive an address and Tribe name (and profile link) of the person to which you are sending your item.

3. Create something that reflects what you consider your “backyard.”

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

5. Ship it to the address you've been given by July 25.

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

7. No one gets left out, if you cannot complete your trade, email me (Anne) and I will make sure that your addressee receives a package. So simple, so easy, right?

* Lea * and advice from the post office

2005-06-22T17:01:01Z

Lea,

Your package was returned to me because you address was damaged in mailing, and they only had my return address...your gift was damaged too, so I am making you something else and it will in the mail tomorrow or Thursday...I am so sorry it didn't get there in time...

advice from the postoffice...when mailing something to someone, put the recipients address inside the package too...that way if the exterior wrapping is damaged and they can't read the recipients address or if the package comes open, they still know who to deliver it to.

Trade Help

2005-06-17T20:54:30Z

I thought it would be good for everone to answer a couple questions that might be helpfull for trades.

Favorite Colors:
Favorite piece of clothing:
Favorite animal:
Five things you can't live without:
Most important accessorie:

(Any other info you deem important)

I think the answers may help each trader when deciding what to make for their tradee.

I know you can look at your tradee's profile and check out their interests and tribes...

I'm sure like me; most of us have a huge list of interests/tribes that evoke many different parts of our personalities. It may be hard to pinpoint exactly what our tradee is most interested in.

What's your specialty(ies)?

2005-05-21T21:04:25Z

I know we have all probably done this before and listed our special talents. Can we do it one more time, please? I'll start...

Beaded Wire Art
Terra Cotta Sculpture
Quilting
Mosaic
Decoupage (sp?)

There are two talents that God did not see fit to bless me with and they are drawing and singing - well.

I will try anything at least once. If it inspires me, I tend to go overboard (or is that obsessive?) and have to make a gazillion all at once. Or at least have everything I would need to make a gazillion.

Hello all! I know I have been an absentee moderator for a while, but I'm back in action now. With quitting my job, starting a new job, and finishing a slough of crafty projects, I barely had time to lurk.

Anyway, this tribe is lacking photos of all your beautiful trade items. Please add your images of recent projects or any other crafty items you'd like to show off. Also, we won't consider it tooting your own horn if you label the photos with a little description and your name. We want to know all about it.

2005-04-20T06:12:56Z

OK, Ladies! Here we go! Announcing the first, but not last, Crafty Trade Extravaganza. The theme for this one is "Crafty Containers" Let your imaginations go on this and think outside the "box."

If you want to participate, PM me with your tribe name, real name, mailing address and email address. Sign-up April 25. I will notify you of your tradee by May 1. I know a lot of us will be busy making items for Mother's Day so let's give each other until the end of the month to deliver.

Be sure to review the rules in the tribe title box. If you cannot follow through, please do not sign up. We won't love you any less. However, if you do sign up, we could get our feelings hurt if you don't deliver.

Come on, ladies. Anne set up this tribe and is going to be out of town. Let's make her proud on this first trade. Course, it wouldn't hurt my image, either. (LOL)

Lets get craftin'!
