Recycle Pincushion Gallery & the Swap!

www.flickr.com

This is a Flickr badge showing photos in a set called September Pincushion Challenge -- Recycle. Make your own badge here.

The Recycle Pincushion Gallery is up!  Go check out all the great pincushions and try to figure out what was re-used to make each one.  If you participated, you may want to go leave a comment telling people what you transformed!  (I wanted to write in comments for each one, but there was just no way that I had time to do it.)

If you have participated in all three challenges so far, here is your button:

The next theme is going to be a little different, it will involve a swap!  You are welcome to join in if you have participated in any of the three challenges that I have had so far.  If you want to participate, here's what you need to do:

Email Me at pincushion.challengeATgmailDOTcom with "Sign Up for Swap" in the subject line.  Include this info:

1. Your name
2. Your address
3. Your email address
4. Your website if you have one
5. If you are able to ship internationally
6. Tell me which pincushion challenge you participated in

(So why am I asking everyone that joins in the swap have at least one challenge under their belt?  They say past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior, so I figure if you've made a pincushion in the given time period in the past -- you can do it again.  That means no sad participants left without a package and that makes everyone happy!)

What you will be swapping: 

1. One pincushion
2. some pins (handmade or pretty ones you purchase)
3. a selection of other small goods (buttons, chocolate, ribbons, fabric bits, etc.)

There is no requirement as too how much you must spend, and I'm sure we all have lots of ribbons, fabric, and buttons, etc that we could swap.  And as you can see from the recycle challenge, you can make some beautiful pincushions without spending much, if anything!  Just remember, your package should be something so wonderful that you would want to receive it yourself.  If we all keep that in mind, I think this will be a great swap for everyone!

is there a theme, too, or is it just anything goes as long as the stuff you list is included?

I'm looking and looking, reading and rereading, but can't find it... what is the send off date for this swap?

You people did a great job! I got so busy and got the end date wrong so I missed out this time.
