Swap-Bot Tag
Cotton Picker tagged her readers who also have swap-bot profiles to answer the following five questions about their experience with Swap-Bot, so here I goes:
What was your first swap?
Beelicious' Halloween Apron swap.
What has been your favorite swap so far and why?
There have been a few that have been favorites.
Some simple ATC swaps the senders have been very generous on sending me other things they'd know from my profile I'd like. Recent favorite is the Matryoshka Doll swap that I'm still working on. But what I got, I'm going to blog it soon... she made me such a sweet little doll, all celestial and everything. And back at Christmas was another great swap. I've also loved getting to know some people there and having 1 on 1 swaps... I think I like those the best.
What has been you're least favorite swap?
The ones I've been flaked on or the person sending didn't put much effort into it. It seems like I'm not getting my package from the crafty odds and ends swap, basically that one was one were you take a flat rate mailer box and stuff it full of craft stuff you haven't used but it's still good to use so maybe someone else can use it. I was looking forward to that swap. And there was a celestial swap I've been flaked on, that's a major bummer. But for swaps I've received that I haven't really been thrilled with, well there were a few sticker swaps I was in and I never got very nice stickers in return, most of them were too old to be useful, but too new to consider vintage, basically I got junk. Some of the stickers I just went and threw in the trash because they smelled so badly of cigarette smoke!
What have you tried for the first time as part of a swap?
Pretty much everything I've done on swap-bot has been things I've done otherwise. I made a pot-holder as a new sewer for a swap, but I had also made several for Christmas presents this year too. A few posts back I made a button fairy for a challenge blog, and with how well I liked how it turned out I guess I'll join some swaps for those too over time. But so far I haven't been that adventurous. I am signed up for some felt stuffies swaps in the summer, but I don't think that will be too much different from my sock critters. I tend to try new things for the challenge blogs...
What would be your fantasy swap?
I'm pretty easy. I love anything celestial. I've been in one swap for that so far, and it's been a bummer that I still don't have that package. But I've signed up for another celestial swap. Maybe in the summer I'll make my version of a celestial swap.
I don't know too many people outside of swap-bot so if you're reading this, are one of my readers and on swap-bot let me know in the comments here. And hey, let me know your swap-bot profile address. Mine is on my sidebar.

Cotton Picker here. My Swap-Bot name is Mandolin50.
Very Cool.
Will let you know when I have completed my 5 answers.
Love your profile - very interesting reading it and seeing the pictures.
I need to figure out how to do that.
I've been a member of swap-bot, only since Jan08. I'll try to answer these 5 questions:
1st swap: a personel dotee swap with mammadoo (I know her from another swapping group)& dotee swaps with RobinT & Denise
fave swap & why: me and rengawk did a private swap where she made me an amigurmi cupcake. I take this cupcake with me everywhere and get pictures of it in all kinds of places. I plan on taking it with us, this summer, on our bike trips.
least fave swap: i put so much extra work into my hippie dotee doll and got one in return that looks like it took less than 5 minutes to make (i mean adsolutely NO offence to this crafter!!)
tried for the 1st time beacuse of swapbot: dotee dolls! I've made 60 now!
fantasy swap: mostly anything to do with mermeaids OR if someone were to send me a '70's 750 Norton Commando motor (motorcycle)... I would pass out, I think!
