The reclaimed item swap was so much fun that I decided to bring it back for the new year!
Same rules apply, you can use any reclaimed item you like to create a gift for your partner. We have seen purses, windchimes, rolodexes made from old books, ornaments made from light bulbs, candle holders made from jars, solar lights in mason jars, and SO many wonderful things I can't even list them all. The sky is the limit and I encourage you to use your imagination.
Partners will be assigned by January 15th
Mail out will be January 21st.

Welcome Sassynrob and Kirksmom71!
Reina, a reclaimed item can be anything that you repurpose into something else. In the past swaps there have been things like windchimes made from reclaimed car parts and chains, rolodex made from an old book, apron made from jeans, ornaments made from burned out light bulbs, candle holders made from decorated food jars, solar lights made from Mason/Kerr jars to name just a few. (Take a look further down on the swaps forum to see some photos for an idea of what we have done in the past.) It has been really fun, I hope you will join us for January. :)

Has everyone made contact with their partners? Becky and I have exchanged information.
Becky, I mailed your item out yesterday. They said it should arrive by Friday or Saturday! Hope you like it. :)

Sarah,
Your swap arrived on Friday. Thank you so much for the cute purse. It is the perfect size for my literature books for this class I have and I will be using it for that. I really love the size and design.
I shall be sending yours out tomorrow.
Farm Girl Hugs
Becky
May the stars carry your sadness away. May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, and may hope forever wipe away your tears. |

Heike,
Your magnets arrived yesterday. What a cute set. I put them on my refrigerator right away. Love the concept and the designs. Thank you so much.
Your package will go out in the mail tomorrow.

What a cute idea Heike! I love it! Is the trap a magnet too?
Becky - I received your email and am SO happy that you like the bag! I thought it came out really cute and had a lot of fun making it so I was thrilled to hear that you will be using it for your novels! :) The little squirrel will be good company while you are reading. :)
Carole, so sorry you missed this one! I just posted a February reclaimed item swap on the forum, so please sign up. Would love for you to join us!
I noted in the Feb sign up that I probably won't be doing this again in March and April due to my hectic tax season work schedule. But, if you are interested in me doing it again in May, please let me know. I have really had a lot of fun with this swap and enjoyed seeing everyone's wonderful ideas! :)

Received my swap items today from Mel, Kirksmom. What fun. My hubby collects coke memoriaibilia and has his eye on the hanger. .jpg)
It certainly has been cold in NY this winter, might wear these in the house while knitting.
Thanks

Thanx grammytammy for the lovely bag made from orphan quilt blocks! And I have the soap displayed in my second bathroom! 
Sorry it took so long to get the pic up. 
My best to all,
