destash a go-go

Jewels said...: Hmm help me out Linda! As a newbie what is the right "destash etiquette" i.e. how do you know you've got enough in your packet to send.. LOL; February 9, 2014 at 5:04 AM
Elizabeth Quigley said...: Hi jewels,
I so understand how you feel. When I put my packages together I ask myself what I would like to receive and go from there. I don't think there is really ant set rule.
Hope this helps.

Linda said...: Jewels,
Elizabeth is right on. Just a few items that you would actually enjoy receiving if someone sent them to you. Try making a little pile of yellow things pulled from your craft supplies (buttons, papers, ephemera, flowers, piece of fabric, ribbon, trim, etc) and pick out a few that you think make a nice combo. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. Trust your judgement and have fun with it.; February 10, 2014 at 4:25 AM
Patty in Oz said...: You all are awesome. When I saw the word destash...honestly I wasn't sure. Thank you for the clarification. Especially like the suggestion of thinking a nice combo that I'd like to have fun with myself.

Thank you so much for sharing the very cute card Linda. That daisy trim makes my heart smile.

Enjoy your day everyone!; February 10, 2014 at 5:04 AM

About the 2015 Swap

The Swap For All Seasons blog is always open and welcomes all visitors! Please feel free to visit often for ideas, tutorials, inspiration, seasonal fun and giveaways. Feel free to leave comments too!

The 2015 Swap is not open to join. A small group of talented crafters will be creating and swapping "Mini Fabric Samplers" each month from which a personal garland/banner may be made by many of the artists at the end of the year.

Many of the samplers (as well as those showcased for inspiration only) will be shown on this blog, on our Flickr group page (see link below), on Instagram at #aswapforallseasons or on the artist's individual blogs (a list of artists and their blog links is coming soon).

Welcome to A Swap for All Seasons!

Hi! My name is Linda and I am a wife, mom of 3, nurse, crafter, knitter and collector of vintage goodies. I love all things old, sweet, and handmade! I especialy enjoy sharing these things with the network of wonderful, kindred art friends that I have made through blogging and swapping. I love to host swaps, and have hosted many through my own blog and on my favorite Yahoo Groups.

A Swap For All Seasons was a little idea of mine that just kept growing... I envisioned celebrating each season with a delightful, high quality swap, that would bring joy to all who participate! The first A Swap For All Seasons swap was in the Fall of 2008!

Each year of swapping is a little different. For instance, 2015 swaps are not open for all to join. But all visitors are welcome and encouraged to visit often throughout 2015 for ongoing seasonal and crafting inspiration! It is a happy place to be!

An Important Message About Sharing Artwork on This Blog

I would just like to take this opportunity to mention that when I post another artist's work, it is ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSPIRATION. I DO NOT promote copying another's work AT ANY TIME. I do not want there to ever be any question of my intentions. I am simply showcasing techniques and providing examples to inspire our own creativity. And please know that I always seek permission from the artist prior to showcasing her/his work when possible.
The only exception is if it is an image that has been posted on multiple Pinterest boards. I will go ahead and repin it here, with a link to the artist and/or website whenever it is available.
