This is our fourth annual Spring Swap. Each year we ask our members if they wish to participate in the Spring Swap. They must be willing to create a bead woven item for one other member that is participating in the swap. In February we asked our members if they wanted to participate for 2013 and 25 members volunteered. The they were asked to fill out a questionarie of their preferences, sizes, and favorite colors. Once the questionaries were returned the 25 members were then randomly circled paired with another participating partner. The respective partners questionair was send out and each member had until April 30, 2013 to create and send a bead woven item for the paired partner (they created for one person and received a swap item from another one). This was our 3rd year running the swap and the first time that one of the participants for personal reasons could not complete and send out their swap item to their assigned partner, so Marsha of HauteIceBeadwork (one of Etsy Beadweavers Moderators) kindly agreed to create and send out a swap item (without receiving one herself) so that all the participants that had created in faith an item received one in return. Below are the list of the participants, their creations and who it was created for.
