What is all the BUZZ about
you ask??
It's a BUG SWAP!
Yup...a creepy, crawling, flying in your hair, summer time pest of a bug swap. Well...not quite...these bugs can't be live, they have to be created by you! Or you can purchase the bug, but it MUST be handmade. So, since I don't wanna bug you with rambling on about things...let's get to the point...here's the rules:
1. You must be a follower of my blog and a frequent commenter. I'd like to know you so that I can be certain you will follow through with the swap. It might sound mean, but if you have even been on the short end of a swap, you know what I am talking about.
2. You must comment below and THEN send me your name, address, blog name and a list of your favorite summer things. Please email me your information at rwprimcrafts@aol.com. Don't forget!
3. Sign ups will last until April 22. I will then match people up and get your swap partner's name to you by Monday, April 23rd. Once you get your partner's name, please send them an email to say HI!
4. Mailing date is May 18th. You must mail your package with a delivery confirmation number. Please provide that number to your partner.
Your swap package must include at least 3 items:
The first must be
A handmade bug
the other two items can be whatever you would like having to do with summer. Here are a few examples:
A summertime themed towel
decorative summer napkins
Summer door decor
a prim candle
pillow with flowers and bugs
wooden sign with summery words
prim handmade flowers
gardening goodies, such as seeds, tools, gloves
a garden stake, herb markers and the like
garden sun hat
summertime cookbook full of grilling recipes
watermelon themed prim crafts
some yummy smelling hand lotions to soothe those overworked hands
Here's some inspiration for you!
