I can see that you are all as excited about this as I am.......so back by popular demand is the Sweet and Sinister Halloween Swap!
This year is going to be a bit different. I'm staring a full 3 months early, because there is much to be done before the big day. Starting immediately I have a separate blog set up for the swap. For those that would like to join, the cost will be $10 (via PayPal). That includes a reserved spot in the swap, and access to the members only blog that will have frequent posts with sweet tutorials and sinister projects presented by me and some of my favorite artists. I will have giveaways, inspiration and tons of other ghoulish fun together for a full three months!
The swap itself will be similar to last year. I will take sign-ups until Sept. 1st. Partners will be assigned as people sign up for the swap, no later than the first week of Sept. Packages must be mailed by
Oct. 1st.

Your package for your partner should contain:
{something a little sweet}
{something a bit sinister}
Also...{a handcrafted item}
{a home decor item}
and {a thrifted item}
You and your partner can exchange information about what style you prefer. Swap items can be Halloween oriented, but they don't need to be. However, almost everything should be black or white or both (can be any shade of white/cream/antique white, etc.) A splash of orange in there is ok.
Please take the swap pledge and make a promise to yourself and your partner that you will:
Please take the swap pledge and make a promise to yourself and your partner that you will:
Create a package that is one that you would enjoy receiving. The items are in good condition or handmade with care.
Please respect one another. If problems arise, try to work things out. If necessary email me as soon as possible.
Commit to mailing out on time so that your partner will receive their items before Halloween.
This is how it's going to work...if you are interested and ready to commit to the swap, please email me at artsy_mama@hotmail.com or leave a comment here with your email address that I can contact you at. I will contact you and ask for your PayPal email so that I can invoice you the $10. When payment is received you will get an email invite to join the swap blog. Partners will be assigned shortly. Check the swap blog frequently for updates and tons of ghoulish fun!
