I was thinking about the swaps like the holiday altoid tin and the jean pockets and all of the other amazing projects I have seen using reclaimed items online lately and thought it might be fun to do a swap where each person makes something new from a "salvaged" item to swap with a partner.
For example: old T shirts or jeans to make aprons, placemats and rugs; reclaimed and repurposed containers to create things like birdhouses and art; small peices of wood made into buttons, etc - the sky is the limit. This is an opportunity for you to use your creativity and surprise your partner. :)
Sign Ups will go until August 31
Partners will be posted by September 1st
Mail out date of September 15th
Sorry, I am a day late posting partners, I got tied up working around the house.
We had an uneven number of farmgirls sign up, so I am taking on two partners. :)
Sorry, I am a day late posting partners!

Sounds like fun to me.  I'm always making something out of what I have on hand. It's amazing the things a person can come up with. Count me in.

I've seen a lot of interesting things turned into jewelry and wind chimes too! My favorite are the things made into Christmas decorations. This sounds like a wonderful idea for a swap!!

Sounds like fun. I'd be interested!
The road to success is not straight. There is a curb called Failure, a loop called Confusion; speed bumps called Friends; red lights called Enemies;caution lights called Family. You will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination; an engine called Perseverance; insurance called Faith, and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success!! |

Hi Sarah :-) I see you have made this idea into a swap. Please sign me up.
You might want to change your header, so it reads that it is a swap not just an idea ;-)

Thanks Madeline! I don't know how to change that... do you? Do you think it would be less confusing to start a new thread?
Thanks!

Hi Sarah :-) All you do is go & click on your original post, & you will see little icons at the top, one is an edit icon, just let your mouse hover over the icons & it will say which one is the edit icon. Just click it & you can alter anything you want but only you the poster can do it. Hope this helps ? ;-)

| I would like to sign up. I think the thing I'm working on now will qualify! Sounds like fun and I hope whoever gets this will like it. (I kind of want to keep it for myself, lol, so I might have to make another if I can find the supplies!) |
