My daughter (10 - almost 11) has repeatedly been asking me over the past year to organize a swap she can be part of, as she too, loves to craft. If there is any interest, I'd love to do a swap for Farmerette's and Young Cultivator's :)
It seems as if there is enough interest! Wonderful. I thought we could split it up according to age - to include Farmerette's and Young Cultivator's. If you could let me know the age of the child, if you haven't already, then I can organize the swap according to age.
I think it would be great for the girls to swap something homemade. We'll do signups until January 15th, and mail out January 31st. Feel free to swap favourite colours/likes/interests to help with the homemade item you'll be making your partner.
Signups so far:
Hailey, age 15 (lovinRchickens)
Stella Jane, age 10 (MaryJane)
Mia Marie, age 8 (MaryJane)
Adria Ruth, age 6 (MaryJane)
Katie, age 13 (hudsoninaf)
Sammi, age 7 (hudsoninaf)
Lily-anne, age 10 (GinghamGirl)
Sofia, age 6 (Sobyn)
SWAP UPDATE:
Partners are as follows:
Hailey, age 15 (lovinRchickens) and Katie, age 13 (hudsoninaf)
Stella Jane, age 10 (MaryJane) and Lily-anne, age 10 (GinghamGirl)
Mia Marie, age 8 (MaryJane) and Sofia, age 7 (Sobyn)
Adria Ruth, age 6 (MaryJane) and Sammi, age 7 (Hudsoninaf)
Feel free to swap interests/favourite colours etc. before having the girls send out their homemade item. Mailouts will be February 15th, instead of January 31st. Happy Swapping!!

Do take care of yourself, Shannon. You and Sammie way overdid it on the swap, not that we're complaining:) She loves every-little-thing! What fun and thoughtful gifts.
Mia is still beaming. "She sent a giraffe!!!" And a heart.
Lots of heart in our first farmerette swap.

I am so glad she enjoys it!!! We had planned to make a chef hat with it, but I ended up with viral meningitis, so sewing went on hold!!!

Thanks Shannon. You should see Adria in her little apron. She kept saying, "I can't believe this!"

Sounds like everyone is enjoying everything :)
MaryJane - things coming from Canada often take about twice the amount of time as it takes to get there!!!

We took fun photos of our girls opening their packages. Truly, their swap gifts were perfect in every way and they're begging for more swaps and discussing what they can make next. Huge success.
Joyce, I'm wondering if Stella's has been held up at customs????? Perhaps you can track the package for us.

I sent you an email. I sure hope your feeling better now. We had flu symptoms here also. Glad it's behind us now.
Hailey received her package today. She loves it! Already has a spot for the wind chime. Everything is so pretty and well done. The girls are excited to write back soon. Thank you for such a fun swap.

I'd love to have them participate next time, Linda. I think they just start working on badges, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'd like my 2 grandsons to become Young Cultivators. Do they have to sign up? Or just start working on Merit Badges? Then maybe they can participate next time you have a swap?

My three oldest have their partners and have started gathering crafting ideas. They're very excited. Thank you for thinking of this and organizing it, Joyce. Grace, next time we'd LOVE to have your grandchildren join in.
