I managed to squeeze in more more book in April, and read this yesterday while enjoying a long soak in the bath.

I marked a bunch of fun projects that I will modify to make more stimulating for a middle schooler. Summer planning has begun!

LibrarianRyan @teebe Yeahhhhhh 5y

Freespirit Not received it yet but I bet it will be here soon😊👍🏼 5y

AprilMae Tracking said it was received yesterday. My person hasn't posted yet @LibrarianRyan 5y

MaleficentBookDragon Sorry I forgot to post. The package is on the way to you. I hope you like everything! 5y

LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon I am sure I will love it. I figured you had everything covered but we all have off days/weeks. Hadn‘t seen you post in a bit and was a bit worried. 5y

LibrarianRyan @AprilMae hummmmmmmmm. Okay. 5y

Chrissyreadit I did not receive one yet. 5y

Deblovestoread Just checking in as I did not receive my #makerswap today. Hope it‘s not lost. 5y

LibrarianRyan @Kdgordon88 thanks. She said it was sent Saturday from NJ. Here is hoping it‘s just not there yet. If it does get lost in the mail, I will be sending makeup packages. 5y

Deblovestoread Thanks for the update. If it doesn‘t show up it is not necessary to send a make up package. S**t happens. 🙂 5y

MaleficentBookDragon I have not received mine yet. I'm not sure if there is any mail today. Perhaps tomorrow. 5y

LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon I do believe yours will be delivered today by special delivery. 5y

Crazeedi @LibrarianRyan I just signed up, been trying to decide if I could participate, as I'm away 2 weeks in may, but I decided I can so I'm in! Never did it before 6y

LibrarianRyan @Crazeedi the nice thing is that this is a long swap so there is a bit of time between sign up and sending. 6y

Sweetkokoro I want to join but I‘m worried whoever I get partnered with won‘t like my craft I don‘t sew often or bead or anything, I build robot models while I listen to audiobooks and I‘m just fearful they will hate it. It‘s not a common craft amongst readers I have learned. But this sounds so fun. 6y

Stacy_31 @Sweetkokoro I think that sounds unique! What are they models of? I mean, obviously robots, but are they fashioned after characters or your own creation? 6y

LibrarianRyan @Sweetkokoro that sounds so awesome and now I want one!! Anything. And you should join. Most of us crafters like to try new things or see new ideas. I love the “tinker” aspect. And I have a ton of spare parts robots pinned on Pinterest and whoever gets matched with you would be a lucky duck. 6y

Chrissyreadit @Sweetkokoro that sounds unique and amazing! 6y

Sweetkokoro @Stacy_31 @LibrarianRyan they are called Gunpla, they are Japanese Robot models based off of Robot characters from the anime/manga Gundam. They come in many different styles. If you really think people would be interested in it I would love to join, it‘s a fun craft for me, I would love to share it with others. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Sweetkokoro yes. Were interested please join!! 6y

Sweetkokoro @Chrissyreadit thank you, it really is fun, and if I can share it I will! 6y

Sweetkokoro @LibrarianRyan haha okay, I will totally join!! Thank you for the encouragement! I hope whoever I get really enjoys it! 6y

Stacy_31 @Sweetkokoro I had to Google "Gunpla," because I don't know anything about anime, and Holy moly, that must be a ton of work! They look so intricate. I'm glad to see you are joining. ?? 6y

Sweetkokoro @Stacy_31 thankfully they come in many skill levels so I would never send something to complicated. They are intricate but they have a few cute little ones thats are adorable on the shelf! And yup I‘m all joined in! I appreciate the encouragement everyone gave! 6y

Freespirit I am signed up!! This is my first Makers Swap. Thank you this sounds like so much fun 👏🏼👏🏼😊 6y

LibrarianRyan @Freespirit yeahhhh 6y

bullbunny Wahoo!! I was wondering if you'd be doing it! I missed the last one! I am so doing both, if you do the other. *dancing 6y

Meeyae Oh wouaw! Sounds so good. Is there an area restriction to participate to this? 6y

See All 24 Comments

Clwojick Yay! Signed up! 6y

LibrarianRyan @Meeyae not necessarily. If you choose only in your country shipping and there is no one else from that country then that might be the only thing. Also, I do check the bad swapper list. 6y

MaleficentBookDragon I just signed up. I think. The form said December on it... 6y

LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon opps. I thought I got them all. I‘ll get it fixed. 6y

LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon yep. I also forgot to take the Christmas question off. Duhhhhh. 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan ok, good. I wanted to make sure I signed on the correct form. Thanks. 6y

WanderingBookaneer This is great and I‘d love to participate, but @BookishMarginalia and I will be traveling during July. I‘ll keep my eyes peeled for the next one. 6y

ReadingRover I must think on this. 🤔. I‘m such a spaz lately. I am actually always a spaz and lately it‘s just worse. Omg @LibrarianRyan I have a huge box that is just sitting and growing for you from your birthday & Christmas & ever after. That‘s how big a spaz I am! Maybe I should just skip the swap as planned for the next few months and actually send all the accumulated gifts I have😬😆 (edited) 6y

mreads Should we get an email once we sign up? I didn't get one so I'm not sure if the form went through 6y

LibrarianRyan I will check. You should but I could have a boo boo in the form. 6y

Stacy_31 Eeek! Just saw this, have your sign-ups closed already? 6y

LibrarianRyan @Stacy_31 nope. Probably not til after the weekend. 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan could you see if my sign up went through? I just realized that I didn't get a form confirmation from them. Thank you. 6y

LibrarianRyan I will check in the next 30-60 minutes when I get home. 6y

LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon I do NOT see you on the list unless you used a different name. 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan argh. I'll do it again. 6y

MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan I think it went through. 6y

cobwebmoth Are signups still open for this? Sorry if I overlooked the deadline for signing up. 6y

cobwebmoth It let me submit a form, but if I'm past the deadline just let me know. Thanks! 6y

LibrarianRyan @cobwebmoth I‘m going to close it this Friday. I‘ve been sick and not on much but I plan to repost it tonight. 6y

cobwebmoth Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for answering. 6y

Trashcanman I can make things out of dryer lint and crazy glue does that count? 6y

Quirkybookworm You guys are so lucky with Audios and be able to enjoy with free hands. Oh, how I envy you guys! 😊 6y

LibrarianRyan @Trashcanman as long as I have prior notice and can match you appropriately. I can match you to Josh and he will send Key shavings and saw dust. 😁👁👁 (edited) 6y

LibrarianRyan @Quirkybookworm I‘m very bad at audios. It only works half the time. 6y

DuckOfDoom Does painting count? I do also crochet but at the moment I mostly paint 6y

LibrarianRyan @DuckOfDoom yes it does. Any type of making. We had two people paint last time. 🎨 6y

Joy0201 This is a really cool idea. What about making greeting cards? 6y

LibrarianRyan @Joy0201 it is anything. We have paper crafters fabric and yarn crafts, painters. A bit of everything bits what ever you like to do and give b 6y

Stacy_31 Is what we send for our partner to make based on their craft preferences? 6y

LibrarianRyan @Stacy_31 nope. It just needs to be beginner level unless you know the person knows how to do that craft. For example I sent Legos, clay for book marks, and fuse beads in the three I sent. And received a 1 hour scrapbook (they knew I could do that) a wreath, and a zentical books and pens. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Stacy_31 if you look through the first maker swap it ran the gauntlet. Someone received oragami paper and how to book. I believe the person who received a painted portrait of their dog received a beginning paint set. I have card board taxidermy for my next swap partner. 6y

hermyknee @That-Bookish-Hiker you should do this one!!! ♥️ 6y

LibrarianRyan @hermyknee @That-Bookish-Hiker you really should. It‘s a lot of fun. You can check out the #maker space and see some of springs swaps. 6y

Stacy_31 @LibrarianRyan Thanks for explaining. I checked out the past swap and it looks so fun! I‘m in. (Although I did have to Google cardboard taxidermy- I‘ve never heard of it described that way before. 😂) 6y

It's #makerswap opening day. I am so excited to see everyone's projects. I'll be checking up and keep tabs throughout the day. I started my day by opening the small parcel I have have for over a month. @CrowCAH made me a personalized library sign. I love it. And the wood cross stitch or dents look like a cross stitch project I would actually finish. Thank you so much!!

#MakerSwap open day is tomorrow. I know this is a bit anal but there is still a lot of white spaces on my tracking chart. One column is sent and the other is received.

Please remember to post when you get your package and again when you open your package to show of the contents.

My remaining matches were delivered late last night or this morning. How about yours?

rekahlee Tracking info says mine was delivered Monday, just waiting for confirmation from my match that she has it! 6y

JessNevertheless No package yet :/ But I'm glad my match received hers! 6y

LibrarianRyan @JessNevertheless she email me and said she was sending something and had seen the posts. So hopefully🤞🏻. If we do not hear anything or you do not get a package today to tomorrow. I will send you something Monday. 6y

LibrarianRyan @rekahlee your match is in the middle of final exams. @CSeydel do you know if @ameliask8 has received her package. Also wish her well on exams. 6y

CSeydel @LibrarianRyan yes indeed @ameliask8 received her package earlier this week. I don‘t know if she posted but she mailed her box to @vkois88 on Tuesday, should arrive today. I have not received my box yet, but there‘s still time. 6y

CSeydel @rekahlee oh yes she got it. I reminded her to post a photo. I thought she did, but she‘s been super busy this week with school so maybe she didn‘t get to it. 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel your package will arrive today or tomorrow. I know it shipped early this week. And I didn't know she mailed so I have marked that off. 😁 6y

CSeydel @LibrarianRyan Thanks! I try to let her handle it herself and not to interfere ... but of course there‘s no phones allowed in her school, and then in the evenings I think she gets sidetracked. Sorry to make you worry! Thanks for being on top of it. 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel I completely understand. I also figured you would be easier to get in touch with. Are you mom? Thanks for answering by the way 6y

CSeydel @LibrarianRyan yep I‘m her mom. She is 14 ... which means sometimes she‘s totally 100% independent and other times I would swear she‘s 5 years old. 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel while I'm not a mom from working with teens I wholly understand that sentiment. 😜 6y

CSeydel The thing with teenagers and social media ... I get a box, I snap a picture, I type “look my box arrived yay” and I‘m done. She will spend an hour arranging lighting, adjusting the background, rearranging the box, applying filters, and then another hour composing the caption. Dude, move on. 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel I remembered she was younger and tried to pair her appropriately so everything will probably be great. 6y

JessNevertheless No worries! Thanks for following up @LibrarianRyan ! I'm sure I'll get it soon! 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel hehehe 🤣😅🤣 6y

vkois88 @CSeydel it arrived today!! Thanks 😊 I just got home and am feeding LO a bottle, but I saw it on the table where someone brought it in 6y

rekahlee @CSeydel No worries! I‘m glad she received it. Wishing her well on her exams! 😊 6y

Trashcanman 👁️👁️ 6y

LibrarianRyan @Trashcanman I 👁👁u2. And raise u a 👊🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻 6y

BookaholicNatty Hey @LibrarianRyan just checking in. My match already has her goodies and can‘t wait for her to open them! Technically In like 4 hours here on the east coast it‘s opening day lol I was curious if the person who is sending to me is MIA or if you have had any contact with them. 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookaholicNatty they sent it. If you didn't get it today it should be there tomorrow. She sent it priority mail Monday or Tuesday. 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookaholicNatty hey sis u get a box from me today? My tracking said it was delivered. 6y

BookaholicNatty @LibrarianRyan thank you for letting me know and yessssss I got the box!!! Thank you! I haven‘t opened it yet but it‘s in the helping hands pile!! I have to do some catching up with my helping hands boxes. I‘m finishing up my summer class in ten days and once that is done I am going to have time to organize everything and post remainder of the pics on Litsy and draw winner from everyone who donated!! Thank you!!! The box is huge!!!! (edited) 6y

BookaholicNatty @LibrarianRyan the teachers socks are going to be blown offff!! 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookaholicNatty sorry for the sis thing. I have no idea how it autocorrected to that. And there is a lot of packaging in that box. 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookaholicNatty that's awesome. There are some sequels in there I didn't have book one for, but maybe someone else donated book 1. 6y

MrsGagnonreads2024 Accord to tracking which just updated @rustoryhuf should receive hers next Thursday 6/21/2018 hopefully it arrives sooner. Seeing I paid for 3 day shipping 6y

LibrarianRyan @Endowarrior21 cool beans. I'll note that on my chart. 6y

rustoryhuf @Endowarrior21 Thanks! I‘ll keep a look out, but I think it‘ll be here sooner since you paid for expedited shipping 😎 6y

MrsGagnonreads2024 @rustoryhuf I hope so I worked really hard on my gift for you 😁. I truly hope you love it. I am apologizing now for all the duck tape lol. I ran out of packing tape. 6y

Got this in yesterday's mail. No name and I don't have my master list in front of me. When I do I will tag you!! #makerswap

@Daisydo it arrived!! And I got to it before the storm.

Daisydo There is a second one coming. I sent it Friday I think. It‘s not packaged as well, but the rain shouldn‘t hurt it. I couldn‘t find a box that it would fit in! 6y

LibrarianRyan @Daisydo there are 2. The sticker covers the second one. 6y

Daisydo Yay!!! 6y

Dulcinella Getting things finished and hope to get them out beginning next week. Everything else is ready to go. 6y

wellreadredhead I am finishing up my shopping as I‘m out of town right now and should be shipping my package out when I get back at the beginning of June. 6y

JessNevertheless Project is done! Will be shipping out next week when I'm back from vacation! 6y

Craftylikefox I am nearly finished!!! I hope to have my box mailed out by the beginning of June! 6y

LibrarianRyan @Dulcinella yeahh🤓😎 6y

LibrarianRyan @collegecatlady I know that feeling. Im trying to get one done to take with me next week to Book Expo. Im cutting it close. But I have a 3 day weekend. Keep up the good work. 6y

LibrarianRyan @JessNevertheless yeah. We all seem to take vacation at the same time don't we. 🌼 6y

LibrarianRyan @Craftylikefox super!! Good news alaround!!🥀🌻🌹 6y

vkois88 I'm about 2/3 done, and did a little more shopping today. Will be finished and fully packed and shipped by the 7th for sure (just need to wait for payday to get a couple more items). Thanks for checking in ❤ 6y

LibrarianRyan @cseydel sorry I didn't include you in the original list. I had your screen name written wrong. 6y

vkois88 P.S. love the Disney & Cat In The Hat fabric! 6y

CSeydel I‘m on track to finish my made items in the next few days, and my books are in hand, ready to go. I still need to figure out what to send as far as maker supplies. Thanks for checking in! 6y

LibrarianRyan @vkois88 I know how that goes. I wanted to do a check in since I will be at Book Expo next week and NOT thinking about swaps. 6y

Amabear I should have mine ready and shipped in a week or less! 6y

vkois88 As you shouldn't! Have fun 🤗🤗 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel I have that same problem. I think I have an idea. We shall see. 🐨🐼 6y

LibrarianRyan @Amabear awesome!!🦋🐞 6y

MrsGagnonreads2024 I put mine together and it has its first layer of paint :-) 6y

MeganAnn Still working on my project and hope to finish up that and the last of my shopping next week if all goes well. Hoping to get everything packaged up and shipped out before we head off on our family vacation/road trip on the first! 6y

BookFreakOut Project is done, planning to shop this weekend and ship next week! 6y

Valink Project is finished. Project for my swap to make is finished. Books have been purchased. A couple little goodies have been purchased. I just need to get a few more things to make the package a little more robust & it will be ready to ship out. My daughter graduates from HS 6/2, so I probably won‘t get it out before then, but I‘m going to try! 6y

Daisydo My project is 90% done. I‘m don‘t know what to send as the additional project for my pal to make, but I‘m not concerned. I do have to finish my shopping, but book club is tomorrow so, I‘ll have opportunity to shop! 6y

LibrarianRyan @vkois88 I know right! Only fat quarters. So it's all gone. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Valink congrats to your daughter and completely understandable. 😆 6y

tournevis Mine is done and sent. 6y

TorieStorieS On track to mail after this Memorial Day weekend!! 😊 6y

LapReader Almost done. Hope to post early next week. 6y

MommyOfTwo Mine is done boxed up and should be going out Friday 6y

LibrarianRyan @Endowarrior21 yeah. I love to layer paint. I am now so curious. 🤔 6y

LibrarianRyan @MeganAnn yeah!! Enjoy your trip. I leave on my trip Tuesday. So I understand. 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookFreakOut who hooo. Awesome. ⭐️😎 6y

LibrarianRyan @Daisydo I too have to figure that out. Good luck. 👍🏻😉 6y

LibrarianRyan @tournevis and received!! Yeahhhh. 6y

LibrarianRyan @TorieStorieS yeah. We will be mailing at the same time I think. 6y

LibrarianRyan @LapReader yeahhhhhh. Then you are closer to done than I am. I'm still cutting. 6y

LibrarianRyan @MommyOfTwo on the ball as always. Thank you. ⭐️🐞🌷🦋 6y

Sarz Going to dedicate some serious time to my project over the weekend, but it's coming along great! 6y

LibrarianRyan @Sarz great😉🐣 6y

MrsGagnonreads2024 @LibrarianRyan let‘s just say it took me 5 hours to put together and it is decor and storage 😁 6y

rekahlee Hoping to finish the maker portion this weekend and finish shopping next week. I‘m shooting to mail by June 1st! 6y

teebe Just waiting for some things to come in the mail and then I‘ll be shipping. 6y

LibrarianRyan @rekahlee all right!👍🏻📮 6y

LibrarianRyan @teebe awesome. 📫📪 6y

Tera66 Plan on working on it this weekend! Planning a crafting holiday weekend in general! @LibrarianRyan 😉 6y

LibrarianRyan @Tera66 you and me both. Hope to get the sewing machine out of the dining room by Monday. 6y

BookaholicNatty @LibrarianRyan I‘m almost halfway done on my project. I realized I picked a little bit of a bigger project than I probably should have lol but I was excited and I have had to kick it into high gear to get it done in time. I have everything else just have to finish my project!! I‘m excited for my match to get it!!!This swap was such a great idea! ❤️❤️ (edited) 6y

LibrarianRyan @BookaholicNatty I get that. I'm going to do another at the end of summer but this one will be an altered books maker swap. The ideas floating in my head are really amazing. 6y

aschermetz Mine is a food project so I can‘t really do it until right before I send it out. It‘s going to be a balancing act to get it out in time for opening day but still be fresh! 😉😬 6y

Valink @aschermetz that sounds interesting!! 6y

julesG I'm nearly finished with the main project and the 'make yourself' project shouldn't take long. 6y

aschermetz @Valink It‘s super fun! If you look back in my feed a little bit you can probably figure out what I am making, and I‘m also going to teach my swap partner to make. 😉 I am going to do all of my shopping this weekend, get all my instructions and materials ready to send, & the only thing that I have left to do is actually just make and ship. I‘m hoping to ship so that it arrives a few days early because the shelflife will definitely last that long! 6y

ReadingRover I‘m almost done with the maker portion of the swap that I‘m supposed to do and I pretty much have the project for my match to make. I just hope it‘s something that‘s good enough 😬 6y

LibrarianRyan It will be because it's something you put time into. Hey, did you get my slack message? @ReadingRover 6y

CSeydel Hey just wanted to let you know @ameliask8 is on track too. She‘s also doing a food project so it‘s going to be a little last-minute, but she‘s got it planned and we are assembling the materials 👍🏼 6y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel very cool. Thanks. 6y

rustoryhuf I‘m doing 2 smaller projects and I‘m just waiting for a practice/instruction guide to arrive. 6y

LibrarianRyan @rustoryhuf that dang arrival time. I know that wait we'll. Good luck. 6y

ReadingRover @LibrarianRyan I haven‘t. I really need to move that app to the front of my phone. I‘ll check now. Is it about BookExpo? We definitely should meet up at BookExpo. I‘ll email you since I suck at slack. 6y

LibrarianRyan @ReadingRover I quite understand. I too suck at slack. 6y

ReadingRover @LibrarianRyan you are significantly better than me. And you are significantly more organized than me this year. I have not once looked at the schedule. I‘m going to go through all of your links tomorrow. 6y

LibrarianRyan @ReadingRover trust me. I'm not organized. It's just looks that way. I've made notes and that is about it. I hope to get that done tomorrow. 6y

mellissimo I have my package together and ready to go but I just realized that my mail program ate your mail with the adress of my swap partner (again 🙈I should really remember this for the next swap) I hope you still have it and can send it to me again to: melaniegrau@web.de I'm sorry! 🙈 6y

LibrarianRyan @mellissimo I can but not do so it until Monday. 6y

mellissimo That should be fine. It doesn't has to travel so far. Thank you so much!! But now there is the danger that I will find more stuff for my package until monday 😮 I always can't stop looking for stuff until it's in the post 😅 6y

mellissimo Would you mind taking a look for the adress for me? 🙈 I would like to send the package so it will make it in time. 6y

LibrarianRyan @mellissimo sorry about that. I just sent it to your email. 6y

Spending a few minutes with my #makerswap project before work today. I had so many ideas about what to make & I may change my project, but I like how this is coming out so far!

Kaye Looks exciting. I‘m interested to see all the ideas for this swap. 7y

Valink @Kaye me too! I keep checking the hashtag, but there aren‘t a lot of posts yet. I need to stalk my match a bit better too for ideas for goodies for the package! 7y

Kaye Yes I think that part would be hard to figure out what to get your partner. 7y

See All 7 Comments

LibrarianRyan I ordered my books last night and I hope to get some fabric ordered today. 7y

Valink @LibrarianRyan I haven‘t figured out the book part yet, but I have some ideas! 7y

Valink @Kaye I‘m also trying to figure out what crafts my match already knows how to do. If I spin some yarn and send it with knitting needles do they know how to knit or should I include instructions- stuff like that. I‘ll probably add more instruction than is actually needed, but that‘s ok! 7y

Kaye Yes this should be interesting. Fun to see what you guys choose to make and what to give as a kit. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Kaye I was driving josh nuts last night as I was deciding what to pick. 7y

Craftylikefox Thank you!!! Now I just need to decide what project I am going to do!!! Yay!!! 7y

AmyG Yes, I can‘t wait to see what people have made....because I am not crafty at all, I ama amazed by the talent of some Littens. 7y

Kaye Ryan , how are you doing the swap money wise ? I was just wondering if there was a set fee. Like some people might make an Afghan while others might make a dishcloth. I just wondered if it was specified ? It‘ll be an interesting one to watch. ❤️ 7y

julesG Okay. I spend about 3 hours trying to decide what to do for the swap, without putting too much pressure on my match. I mean, I could easily knit a lace shawl and include a kit for another shawl, but what if my match doesn't know how to knit? Soooooooo, I've decided on several easier things that I'll be making, which my match should be able to do without a lot of basic knowledge. 7y

MeganAnn @julesG I would think you could always knit a lace shawl, but then include an easier knitting project for your match to do in case they don‘t know how to knit. I‘m still trying to decide what to make, but I‘m thinking I might do a larger project as a gift with a simpler version kit for them to make also. 7y

julesG @MeganAnn Good idea. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Kaye no I didn't even think of that. Probably because I pick up stuff and supplies as I like it and usually use what I have with just a big extra. I did not think to take that into consideration. 7y

LibrarianRyan @julesG I'm doing a decently complicated project and my "to make" may not be I. The same category. 7y

Valink Hi! I don‘t see an email about my match. I checked my spam and my trash folders, and nothing is there. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Valink I did not see you screen name in my list of registrants. I will double check in case I missed it. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Valink I don't have you down but I can still add it. Drop me an email with name address and allergy concerns. Missrayanaf@gmail.com 7y

Valink @LibrarianRyan I filled out the form about 2 weeks ago- I don‘t know the exact date, but my Litsy post says “2 weeks ago” if that‘s helpful. I‘ll email you. 7y

Valink @LibrarianRyan I just sent an email & it got bounced back as undeliverable. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Valink sorry about that. I should learn to type my own name. missRyanAF@gmail.com. Sorry about that. 7y

Valink @LibrarianRyan it looks like the email went through. If it turns out that you don't have anyone to match me with that's ok. Just let me know. Thanks! 7y

LibrarianRyan @Valink I have your email and a match for you. Just having some problems sending it out. You will get it at the latest tomorrow. 7y

🎉🎉🎉 this is such an awesome idea! I signed up last night.

Link here: https://goo.gl/forms/IvlPckdawq9uO0Iu2

Props to @LibrarianRyan for coming up with such a great idea. #makerswap

mabell Yay! I'm really tempted! But I'm trying to figure out if I make anything worth sharing 😂 7y

LectricSheep @mabell I make cards, so they are by default always shared— even if they‘re totally deformed. 😂 What do you make? 7y

mabell @LectricSheep That's what I'm trying to narrow down! I dabble a lot, but there isn't anything that's "my thing." I do a bit of letterpress, but I don't know what my match could make. I'm still giving it some thought. I like yours! Cards would be perfect. ❤️ 7y

See All 12 Comments

LectricSheep @mabell Whoa, letterpress! I don‘t know anything about that. But I imagine you need a lot of tools? 7y

DiruVamp What a cute idea! 7y

mabell @LectricSheep Generally yes, you do need the big press, so mine is a kind of faux letterpress. I made a substitute press with a pasta machine. 😆 7y

julesG I'm still undecided. I make a lot of different things, but knitting is my favourite hobby, besides reading. Just don't think I want to force knitting needles onto someone who hates knitting. @mabell Neat idea! Will have to steal this idea of using a pasta machine. 7y

mabell @julesG Do! And let me know what you think! 7y

LectricSheep @mabell A pasta machine— genius! 7y

LectricSheep @julesG I feel like anyone who participated in this swap would be happy to have a beginners‘ knitting project to work on! It seems like that‘s part of the fun. 😁 7y

julesG @LectricSheep I think you just sold this swap to me. 😁 7y

LibrarianRyan @julesG there are some EU people signed up last time I checked. 7y

julesG Just tempt me some more. 😉 I'll think about it. Promise. 7y

CSeydel This sounds terrifying! Do you matched with someone who “makes” the same things you make? Or am i going to send someone knitting needles and get watercolors or something in exchange? 😃 7y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel nope. Not matched with someone who makes what you make. Didn't even ask the question. You could have someone whose an expert at knitting and can whip up a sweater in a day or so, or a novice who took 3 months to make a scarf. I wouldn't want someone to feel inferior to another maker. It's supposed to be about the fun of making. And for the most part the giver will be gifted from another person. 7y

CrowCAH Such a neat idea!!! 7y

LazyDays How cute! You send the stuff with instructions on how to make it. I thought we would make something and send it. This way is a cooler idea!😊 7y

LibrarianRyan @LazyDays actually, you do both. For example, I may send a complicated book I made and then send the supplies to make a card, or small easy scrap book. Plus a book that pulls everything together. Like if I send a scrap booking project I might send the book The Paper Chase. 7y

LazyDays Oooh even COOLER! I LOVE sharing projects!🙌 7y

CSeydel Can it involve food, or no? 7y

LibrarianRyan @CSeydel I guess I don't see why not. You would just need to be aware of how long the package may sit. 7y

CSeydel Cool 😎 yeah, no perishables I suppose. But cookie mix or something might work. 7y

Bookworm54 I may need to learn a craft so I can join in next time! 🤣 such a lovely idea 7y

CareBear I love this idea! I wish I were talented enough to sign up lol 🤣 7y

LibrarianRyan @CareBear everyone has talent somewhere. You just may have not found your yet. 7y

Kaylamburson This is the coolest idea! I‘ll have to think on this though, because I‘m not sure I have any crafting talent, haha. 7y

I really love receiving handmade gifts from fellow littens! I‘m a painter 👩🏻‍🎨 so my match will definitely be receiving an original by yours truly. Can‘t wait!

LibrarianRyan Yeahhhhh. I have multiple ideas. Going to give myself some time to pick the perfect project. 7y

Hey all. I thought I would do a swap. I promise another character photo challenge is on it's way soon.

I know lots of us like to make things. We sew, paint, color, knit etc. why not share our love of making with a #makerswap

For more details and rules check out the registration. https://goo.gl/forms/WX0YBmRWsu4GQkYE3.

This is a longer swap to allow all us makers time to complete projects.

Here's my #shelfie for the #FunFridayPhoto. Those are rubber band planets (plus the sun and Pluto) sitting on my middle shelf. The project is in the book Maker Lab, which is a great science-y book for kids that I had fun with even more than my kids did. 😳📚☄️🔬

LeahBergen That's awesome! 8y

readinginthedark Oh, my son would love that! He's so interested in space right now! 8y

I picked this up looking for things to keep my little ones busy for Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks because they are always borrrrred. This book is awesome. We haven't done any projects yet but looking through it last night, the supplies are all things I already have around the house.
I run into crafts or science projects that involve things I have to go hunt down and it just ruins it for me. So I love this book just for that already.

KarenUK I just got this for my best friend's little boy! He loves it! 8y

Got this for my younger kids. It has cool projects that can be made with stuff you probably already have around the house. We already did the Monster Marshmallow experiment. My 10 yo insisted on repeating it over and over then eating the results. 😄🔬⚗📊
