Ok everyone :D I have decided to host my very first swap! The theme is fairy tales, and i have decided the easiest way to do this, is for each person who signs up to chose a fairytale, that their partner can base a package on. You will have a choice to create a package to the value of either £5 or £10, so that each person may recieve a package to the same value as the one they sent. If anybody is unwilling to send packages abroad then please let me know!
For everyone wishing to take part, please leave a comment containing your name, email address, your chosen fairy tale and your package value :) the deadline for everyone to sign up to this swap will be Sunday the 9th of May. After this I will assign partners to everyone, so you know what package you'll be making :D Also, people are welcome to chose the same fairytale as somebody else :) i'm aware that certain stories will be favourites to lots of you :D
As this is my first swap, i need all the help i can get to encourage people to sign up! If all of my lovely blog friends would be so kind as to spread the word, and pop the button up for me :D xxx
-----EXTRA INFO-----
Just a note to all of you crafters taking part :) it'd be lovely to include hand made items in your package, especially as you can make it as relevant to the story as possible! However, not everybody is a crafter, and so please don't fill your package with £10 or £5 worth of your own items, as this won't be fair on people who have to buy everything for their packages :)
For anybody who needs them, here are some examples of things you could include in your packages :)
-keyrings
-jewellery
-candy (check with your partner if they are able to recieve food items if they live abroad! this has happened to me in the past when posting a package to mexico)
-hand made items, such as toys or art work
-candles
-soaps and smellies
-vintage items, ornaments etc
-paper goods
Anything you can find really that relates to your given story :) As this is the first swap that I have hosted, I'm aware that I may not have included all information required! If anybody has any questions etc then please let me know in your comments :) Once I assign partners to everyone, I will put up a new post with all of the rules again, so that everyone knows what is happening :)

Hi - I so would hev loved to do this but I'm already committed to 3 swaps at the moment and I'm so disorganised!!!Lovely blog, I'm please to have found you.xx
just a question vanessa:
Do we choose a fairytale that we would like to recieve? or are we chosing the fairytale that we want to create?
because if we are creating i will start now....if we are recieving our chosen fairytale, how long will we get to make/buy before we have to send off?
xx
thank you everyone ^_^ lissylou, I was originally intending for people to chose the story they want to create, however it seems to be a little confusing, so we are now chosing the story you want to recieve, and your partner will be creating it :)
Hi, I'd like to take part please, and I think I'll choose Alice in Wonderland, loved it growing up and the £10 option please. Great idea for a swap. xxx Pixie xxx
ok thanks....i'll still recieve little mermaid then please. x
oh forgot to answer the second part of your question lol, i think i'll give about 4 weeks to put a package together. So there's nothing to worry about until next month for the time being. right now we're just working on letting more people get involved :)
Oooh, can I join in please? What a fab idea! I'll got for Alice in Wonderland and £10 please. I'd rather not post abroad, I'm afraid.
I think my email will appear on this comment, if not, let me know.
Great blog! I'm now a follower. xxx
Hello
I have emailed you, and am very excited to be golldie locks & the 3 bears.
Will pop your button on my blog.
Luv Sophie xxx
A Nottm lass eh? I'm originally from that neck-of-the-woods too.
I love your idea for a Fairy-tale swap and would love to join in, but I'll have to give some thought as to which fairytale to choose.
I've never posted a 'button' on my blog before, but I'll give it a try.
I wish you all the best with this and fingers crossed lots of folk will get involved.
What a great idea for a swap! Who doesn't like a good fairytale?! I'll go for the £10 but prefer to post to UK only.
I'm still confused on if we chose the fairytale we'd like to receive or give so I'll put both options here!
Receive- Little Red Riding Hood (Red is my favourite colour!)
Give- Cinderella!
it's what fairytale you'd like to recieve :) although i'll be sure to put you with a cinderella :)
I've gone swappy mad this week I think hee hee!
Fab idea!
Well seeing as I have played 'Fairy Godmother' in a rather fabby panto (big -head!) I should really choose Cinderella!
But...
Seeing as I have my henny pennies maybe I should choose Mother Goose?
I am obviously not good with choices today ha ha.
I think I will choose.......
erm........
Cinderella!
Oh, no, wait!!!
Nope, it's definitly Cinders for me. Quick, before I change my mind again! Hee hee. xxx
Doh...
Forgot this bit!
£10 and send UK please
xxx
What a great swap I would love to join in please.
After much changing of my mind, i will go for Little Red Riding Hood, £10.00 in the U.K. please

Thanks, Maria :)
...also i forgot to add im happy to do £10 xkazzyx
Hi, it's Jill again. I've had a think and I'm not really that fussed about which fairytale I'd like to receive. I do quite like the idea of Alice in Wonderland, but I'm quite happy for it to be a surprise.
I'll go with a £10 swap and I'm happy to post abroad.
You can contact me at: knitting.needles@yahoo.co.uk or via my blog.
Oh Vanessa I love this swap idea (just found you via LissyLou's blog) and would love to take part please - but now I have to decide on a fairytale...?? That's impossible! So many that I love...
Okay I can narrow it down to two: Beauty and the Beast or Little Mermaid.... I've seen the disney films so many times and they are my fave comfort films. Either of these would be ace - I'm happy to do £10 but not abroad if that's okay... can't wait!
Thanks for organising - am off to explore your blog some more xox
Forgot to ask - where is your lovely swap button? I'm a bit new to this swap thingy and would like to include your button on my blog if poss... thanks hun! xox
Oh this sounds fantastic!
I looove the tale of Rumplestiltskin.
$10/10 pounds would be just fine and I am more than happy to send things overseas
