Most of you know my love of Craftster. I've done a few swaps on there and I really want to start on one of my 2011 Goals for a hoop love wall. There aren't any swaps on Craftster that I want to do at the moment and I really don't think I could organize one myself.

A couple weeks ago Courtney posted about joining Swap-Bot. I had looked into this site a few times in the past but never fully understood it, especially after being so used to the way Craftster is set up. I decided to give it another looksy and I found a swap that is just what I'm looking for! Cross Stitch Surprise. There's no theme and you just stitch something up that you think your partner would like. I was lucky that I could get in on this swap since the majority of them you have to already have participated in past swaps and be rated =(
I'm pretty excited and I can't wait to get my partner so I can start brainstorming some ideas!
Have any of you used Swap-bot? What was your experience?

i never did a swap bot thingy...sounds cool.
Courtney - I've added you as a friend and I will definitely post my cross stitch for the swap on here!!
Kym - It seems cool, I will keep you guys updated on how it goes!
I've been on there for four years!! It can be so much fun for people who love crafts AND snail mail!
Have fun!
I have heard so many people mention Swap-Bot and it sounds really cool. BUT! I checked out the website, and to be honest, I was just confused! Might have to take a second look at it because I LOVE swaps. :)
I've used it a couple of times but I think I prefer craftster.
Mostly because the last swap I did I never recieved and the organiser didn't bother to follow up what happened or why and I didn't get anything. Especially when I sent to Wales from NZ and it was pricey to post.
I'd been to hear if others have had better experiences than me though! Maybe I just had a bad group or something?
I'm a big fan of Crafster and Swap-bot!
sounds like fun!
Hmm, I haven't heard of Swap-Bot before, but I'm definitely going to check it out now!
I signed up so early for this swap, it doesn't start until April 15th and I'm sooo anxious to get my partner's info so I can start!!
I've been swapping on Craftster for a few years now and have looked at SwapBot, but it is difficult for me to get through it. It feels a bit overwhelming--maybe because there's so much going on. Something for everyone, I guess.
Susan - there definitely is a lot going on on swap-bot. all I do is filter for just the Craft swaps to try and make it less overwhelming!
