I have never featured a whimsy jar swap, and I thought it was about time! Whimsy jars are clean, decorated jars filled with a variety of cute little odds and ends, like candy, small toys, coins, stickers, buttons, jewelry, atcs, brads, rubber stamps, beads, glitter, sequins, ribbons, charms, embellishments, chipboard, matchboxes, felties, leprechauns, papers, fabric squares, buttons, vintage images. You can see examples on Flickr here .

For this week’s featured swap, the St. Patrick’s Day Whimsy Jar Swap hosted by sylviasushi27, you must send your one partner a St. Patrick’s Day-themed, medium-sized (at least 5 inches tall), whimsy jar filled with St. Patrick’s Day-themed goodies. You could include items with shamrocks, leprechauns, gold, rainbows, etc – anything that is related to St. Patrick’s Day!

The sign up deadline for the St. Patrick’s Day Whimsy Jar Swap is February 20th, and your swap package must be sent by March 1st. The swap is USA-inly and you must have a 4.9 rating, or higher, to participate. There are more swap requirements and details on the swap’s main page, so make sure to read it carefully before signing up.
