Gawd...it doesn't seem that long since I was last doing this! Ahem...

:wiz Mini Swap time! :wiz

OK, before everything... check that you have enough time to make and send something. If you don't, please don't sign up to the swap.
And for those people who don't wish to take part in the swap (and indeed for those of you who like punishment/to be busy/etc), don't fret as there will be challenges for September and October! I will be making an announcement on September's challenge at the end of this month.


How to enter
Fill in and PM me the following survey no later than Thursday 30th August:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Username -
2. Real Name -
3. Shipping Address -
4. Which craft(s) do you make? -
5. Is it OK to receive the same type of craft(s) you make? -
6. Can you ship internationally? -
7. Five of your favourite games (or game series if you can't choose!) -
8. Have you taken part in a Sprite Stitch swap before? And if so, what did you receive? -
9. Anything else you want to add? -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules
- You can make one item or a set of items (matching or non-matching, it's up to you)
- All gifts must be postmarked by 31st October
- Size requirement has changed! The item(s) you make should fit inside a square of 8 x 8" (20.3 x 20.3cm)
- Don't contact your partner about the swap/items, any questions or concerns can be relayed through me
- Late surveys will not be accepted
- If you don't drop out, but don't send a gift, you will not be allowed to participate in any swaps or challenges for one year

Other stuff
- I seem to end up with one problem every swap and it's people who are late. If you have a very good reason then I don't mind but please try to avoid it wherever possible. Plan ahead and manage your time effectively.
- I'd like more people to be willing to ship internationally - I understand that cost is a factor and so I will try and help people with that where I can.
- I will make myself available for advice and patterns and any kind of help you might need so just drop me a PM if you need me.

Alright, I think that about covers it. For now. Any questions, do ask.
I have attempted to clear my inbox so if you want in, PM me those surveys! :wiz

Are you/anyone able to give some examples of small things people have done in the past other than cross stitching? I'm a quilter so I tend to think big :)

I don't think anyone would complain if you made them a quilt :)

I have a question about the size. What if we want to make something 3D?
