I forgot how much I love whimsy jar swaps! The photo above is of a jar I made for a whimsy jar swap way back in 2009!

So, this week I chose the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Baby Jar Of Whimsy as the featured swap. The swap is hosted by TECHGIRL10 and it is international. (But she is also hosting a USA-only version.)

Whimsy jars are little glass jars full of tiny trinkets and craft supplies. You can see some examples here and TECHGIRL10 has some amazing ones in her Flickr stream. For this swap you can use a baby food jar (approximately 2.5 ozs.) and fill full of fun tidbits. The swap is sender’s choice so you can create your jar around any theme, but the jar must be decorated and filled to the top. Keep in mind that a lot of tiny items can fit even in a small jar, so be prepared to include dozens of items.

All participants must have a rating of 4.8 or above, with no unexplained 1’s or 3’s. The swap is not open to new users because you must have at least ten type 3 swaps. Be sure to read the full swap description before signing up.
