Description:

Since joining Swap-Bot, something I've fallen in love with is Whimsey Jars! I love shopping for things I can put in them and have been making some up already. I can't be the only one. I will be doing a series I call "Color Me Whimsey" Create a whimsey jar filled with the color theme of the swap. If you do every swap you will end up with a rainbow of whimsey jars plus a few extra.

For those who may be new to whimsey jars, they are jars filled with all kinds of goodies (crafts supplies, stickers, candy etc). Jars should be at least 12 oz and could be plastic or glass. However they should also be decorated on the outside. I personally use recycled pasta jars. I find they work the best. (Cleaned first of course)

This swap will be swap ten and is themed to the color BROWN AND/OR GOLD. This is a little different then the previous swaps. You can make either an all brown whimsey jar, and all gold tone whimsey jar or a jar that is a mixture of the two. Senders choice. Please send clean items. No garbage. This is not a good swap to get rid of dirty items. It may be a good opportunity to pass along some quality items you may not yourself use. Please send something you would like to receive.

Newbies allowed with filled out profile. Please no recent 1s or 3s. I will be checking profiles. I also just up-ed my rating requirement for my swaps. I have been hearing bad reports of flakers targeting my swaps. I feel terrible. Let me know if this happens so I can help people out. These swaps are too big to get flaked on.

Future Swaps include:

11-Gray/Silver

I have no clue what a whimsy jar is but I have been interested

kellogg 12/30/2013 #

do we decorate or just fill them with items of the particular color?

Sounds like a great idea, but i don't think i have enough supplies for a whimsey jar.

YES YES PLEASE. decorate outside of jar! You can add a lot of things that is on your partner's profile page grantedyou yourself would like it!this time it's even easier because you have a choice abaut colors brown and gold. I personally am doing both and I have to say I just finished the outside it looks fantastic! Lol I myself fill the jar with a smaller items to the top I stop everything in there personally and then the bigger items I wrapped in those colored wrapping paper or tissue paper you can use anything though!!it should go with the color theme though! II would like to say that if you join the SWAP...please take it very serious..do your best work please and the most important thing is to SEND IT! I have been flaked on for one of these and I also joined the last jar swap, and ended up sending her a second jar for the one prior she NEVER GOT! ("Angeled")and....I was NOT part of that swap! Why? Because I believe and love this group and think its special..Marie gives us Plenty of time and heads up for the next few! So I hope everyone takes this serious and have FUN! Do your very best...and know your limits.. PS....I will be happy to answer any questions on my pm..helping out our coordinator...you can also reference "you tube"!, Can't wait to swap!( sorry for errors..new tablet tooooo slow! Lol)
