Sign up for the mini tier and give it a go. You got four months to make small things and I highly doubt anyone would be disappointed! :D
Ok, but what are the rules for the mini tier? does it have to be a certain size then?

And If I don't finish the form today, the next chance I'll have will be Tuesday 3rd, (my birthday!!!)

I will explain all the rules on Swap Day One but yes, mini tier will be smaller items. For example, you might make a set of magnets or a 5x7 stitched picture, or a small fimo model, or a little dolly...*shuffles off to the matchmaking table*

Hmmmm.

Should I? I missed the last couple swaps because I have been so busy. I really, really want to though. I love seeing people try to figure out the quilt I make and hope it is for them. ;)

One year for a Mega I made several magnets, a few bookmarks, and a mousepad. I got a bag in return (I still use it!)

For a Mini I made several Sailor Moon magnets that fit the 5x7 requirements.

I signed up for the mini swap, unfortunately my work is in crisis mode so I'm afraid to commit to the mega swap.

Awwwww snap! One of the reasons I joined this forum was for the swaps! Now that sign-ups are here I find myself nervous like some others. I know I'll be worried the whole time about whether or not my recipient will like the swap gift :worried:. Maybe I too will just test the swapping waters with with the mini for my first go (although I feel I have the time for the big....Oh decisions!). In the meantime I'll take a look at the survey.

BigDaddyWiz -> I wouldn't be too worried about it! I did the mini swap last year and I was pretty worried that I would disappoint my giftee but she was very pleased with her gift (or, at least, acted that way lolol)! I think most people will be happy just to get something from their swap partner (I even said as much on my survey after reading so many people being nervous about it). I think the main point of this is to have fun and feel good knowing you brightened someone's day with your gifts. We all love to get stuff in the mail that isn't bills, after all!
