I & others join both swaps to gather for projects whether there are duplicates or not, to use in multiple projects.
Regular 2.5" swap yields 500 charms with 10 participants, usually at least 10 sign up.
Birthday swap yields +/- 1500 charms with +/- 30 participants, 25-30 usually sign up.
Joining both, you could have +/- 2000 charms!
Joining the 4 regular swaps during the year plus the birthday swap yields +/-3500, a good start to build your charm stash.
Love to participate in both but I'm behind on so many projects & set 2017 goals! So I'm just hosting this year.
Hope you will consider joining this swap!!! Love to see your choices & hope you like my new fabric!
Waiting on 2 more PM sign ups in the wings.
hugs,
dj
