Halloween is getting closer so I thought that it would be fun to do a Halloween candy swap. Would be fun if added could be candy that has something to do with Halloween. But it's not a must as we don't celebrate Halloween everywhere in the world like the Americans do :)

Each participants will have one partner to send to.

Please send candy that yourself would like to recieve and please look at your partners list to see what they like or don't like (so not getting lots of stuff they don't eat or are allergic to).

Minimum $13 dollars (postage NOT included).

I like DARK chocolate, Gummies, Sour stuff, and anything uniquely international.

Agnetha 10/ 3/2006 #

Please NO liqueur filled, licorice, nuts. No big fan of dark chocolate. Some is ok but not much.

I do LOVE: Chocolate (especially milk), soft sweets, m&m/smartis kind of stuff, marsmallows, gummies, stuff that children like (like kinder eggs)

Sebbe 10/ 3/2006 #

NO liqueur or alcoholic filled candy.

I love: Chocolate (especially milk), soft or hard sweets, m&m/smarties kind of stuff, marsmallows, gummies, stuff that children like (like kinder eggs),licorice, nutscandy.

Hi! This is just a thought. If you've seen a type of candy that is from another country, say in a magazine, this might be the perfect time to list it! Maybe your partner can get it for you!:)

Agnetha 10/ 6/2006 #

Exactly!! On my own forum (listed in my profile) I have added lots of Swedish candy (more to come though). And you can also take a look at http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/getyerown_candy/ Where they have added lots of candy from around the world (just some example though).

Agnetha 10/ 7/2006 #

Come on people!! Please join!! It will be SO much fun!!

Sebbe 10/ 7/2006 #

Just like Agnetha said join our group. It's fun and I'm from Sweden! Maybe you get me as a partner and gets SWEDISH candy!;D

Have a nice day!

Erin 10/ 7/2006 #

Hello! I would love anything that was sent to me, really :) Whoever my swap partner turns out to be, just pick what you like, and I am sure I will like it. Variety is always a plus.

user4223 10/13/2006 #

Hi! I like any kind of candy..not too fond of gummy candy. I love candy from different countries!

JerseyTjej 10/14/2006 #

HEJ! I am also in Sweden ( TJENA!)! My kids are missing all the assorted Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Hershey Mini's and Kisses and Sour Tarts! Jolly Ranchers, Bubble Gum Balls and candy corn would surely be a treat! I am certain to find the best and most diverse candy I can to trade you for! Gina

Agnetha 10/14/2006 #

I really hope that the partner we get will be a mixture so that we don't recieve a partner in the same country as we live in

user4258 10/15/2006 #

Hi all! This is my first swap, so I'm really looking forward to sharing some Halloween fun :) As for preferences, being away from home (Canada), I miss peanut butter things (Reese's, etc) and prefer dark chocolate to milk and sour over sweet. Since I am in Germany, I hope I get someone who likes chocolate and gummies, which there are a LOT of here :)

fairykiss 10/17/2006 #

Oh how fun. I'm sure my whole family would enjoy this one... that is if I decide to share :)
I would like anything! I also have 2 kids and a husband that I can pass goodies onto.
The only thing I can think that might not be good is anything gummy because my son can't eat them (however I can!!). Being I live in america I'm sure if I get a partner from another country I can load them up with all kinds of Halloween goodies!!

momonmo 10/20/2006 #

Hi! No liqueur filled candies for me, please. I don't like dark chocolate. My profile gives a better description of my likes.

Thank you! :)

Agnetha 10/21/2006 #

LET THE FUN BEGIN :)

Erin 10/23/2006 #

Hello Crafty Fox!

Your package went out in the mail today- I tried to get it out so you would receive it by Halloween- I am keeping my fingers crossed that the postal services are speedy this time :)

Sebbe 10/24/2006 #

Who gona swap me? :)

Erin im gona send your candy soon. :)

fairykiss 10/24/2006 #

Lucille- I'm mailing your box out today. It was kind of a bummer because not only do we live in the same country, but also the same state! :) So, I loaded you up with extra goodies!! I hope you enjoy!!!

Agnetha 10/26/2006 #

I've sent you a reminder e-mail again, you who hasn't sent your packages yet. I did this because it looks like so many hasn't sent anything and the last day for sending is tomorrow. Just doing this in a nice way!! Easy to forget things!

Have a great day you all!!

JerseyTjej 10/27/2006 #

Brandy: Your package is going out today! I did not realize that you don't show a last name so I hope it reaches you ok!

Sebbe 10/28/2006 #

Why haven't everybody sent the candy yet? :S

user4258 10/28/2006 #

JerseyTjej, I sent your package out yesterday - the post said it will be there in 3-5 days. Hope you like everything :)

Erin - Thank you! I didn't realize before that we would get candy from a different person than we were sending too. Even more fun! I can't wait to see your package :)

Agnetha 10/28/2006 #

It's pass sending date and still there are people who status shows 'not sent'. This is not nice to your swapping partner if you haven't sent yet. I have written an email to all of those people who still has that status. So far I haven't heard any reply from any of them.

I have also sent an email to all of those people who are expecting a package from these people, so they can contact themself (I can't do anything more as I already have sent several emails during this week).

I hope it all is a big missunderstanding amongst people. Hope packages soon will start to arrive!!!!

Agnetha 10/30/2006 #

Still 4 people who has the status 'not sent'. That's really bad!! It's bad enough you don't reply to my emails, but you don't seem to reply to your partner either! As I have said....if there is anything please contact any of us so your partner don't need to be worry!!

fairykiss 10/30/2006 #

I haven't heard if my package got to the person I sent to. It should have been there a day or 2 after I sent it. Please let me know!!
To whomever sent to me: I am assuming that it is being shipped from out of the country or something because I still haven't received it yet, but I didn't get the "your partner isn't responding to anything" email so I'm hoping it's in transit still. I will let you know when I get something :)

Agnetha, thank you for this swap. I know how hard it is to keep track of everybody and deal with people who don't like to communicate or send their swaps out. You did an amazing job!

To everyone else: Happy Halloween and dont eat too many sweets! Nobody likes a tummy ache :)

Sebbe 10/31/2006 #

Lucille have now contact me... She have been sick so her swap to me gona be late. Lucille thanks for letting me know. :)

Agnetha 10/31/2006 #

Fairykiss: Your package is coming from overseas (as it is was me who sent it :) You should have this week!

Sebbe: Nice to hear that you heard from your partner!

Now it's only 3 who still states 'not sent'...hopefully that will be changed really soon to non.

fairykiss 11/ 1/2006 #

Thanks for letting me know Agnetha. I will update you when it gets here!!

Agnetha 11/ 2/2006 #

Has anyone recieved anything yet?? (Curious) My package should take 4-6 days to reach it's destination (according to the post office site, and usually that is correct). So it should be there by now (Hoping)

Sebbe 11/ 2/2006 #

Nothing for me! ;( Lucille have "Not Sent". I hope that changes soon. ;S

user2573 11/ 2/2006 #

Got NOTHING!!!

Agnetha 11/ 2/2006 #

I haven't received anything either yet :( But then I know mine is travelling across the world so it can take some time. I feel like a child though...hoping everyday when I look in my mailbox that I will find anything there :)

fairykiss 11/ 2/2006 #

Nothing here either. I think our post office runs on a different time frame and everything is always really late! If I don't get something sometime next week I will let you know, till then I'm not going to worry about it :)

fairykiss 11/ 3/2006 #

Take back last post... It came today! Thank you so much Agnetha!

Agnetha 11/ 3/2006 #

You're welcome fairykiss!!

Agnetha 11/ 3/2006 #

When you recieve a package....please post a comment here so that I know!! That's because there is some trouble with some people and I want to keep track on what's happening. Thanks!

JerseyTjej 11/ 4/2006 #

I am sorry I am late posting, had major surgery 4 weeks ago and still recovering! I received a great package from CraftyFox AND it had goodies in it for me! Love the little toys and trinkets...wait till you see my cards next year, LOL! My package went out to Brandy L...no response

Agnetha 11/ 4/2006 #

I hope your surgery went fine! And it sure must be great to receive a great package when you are recovering :) Great to hear that there are more people who are receving packages!! I'm keeping track on how things are going!! Please post pic if you can!

Agnetha 11/ 7/2006 #

Is it only 2 people who has received a package so far!?!?!?! That's 10 people who are waiting for theirs!!

I haven't seen any sign of any package for me yet. I'm waiting!!

user2573 11/ 7/2006 #

ATTENTION: AGNETHA <<< - I am your swap partner and your package was mailed - it is coming all the way from Alberta Canada and will take a LONG time to arrive... Please take the 1 rating off as the package IS coming - international mail service is very very slow. - thanks :o)

Agnetha 11/ 7/2006 #

Stupied page :( I wrote a message and then clicked on 'say it' and then it told me that I needed to be logged in to send a message...but I was logged in (as you can't write a message otherwise!!)...

SHELLEY! The rating has been removed (as I wrote I would do when I heard from you!). I wonder why it always goes so much faster to ship from Sweden then to Sweden! Do we have a faster postal service here!?! Anyway...I'll keep you updated!

Have a great day!

user2573 11/11/2006 #

Shipping overseas is very very slow and now with the holidays approaching - it'll delay things arriving even more :o(

Agnetha 11/11/2006 #

It's very strange that shipping from Sweden is always so fast! I don't know if it has to do with that all our shipping is with prioritarie mail (we don't have any other alternitive to ship overseas).

Agnetha 11/16/2006 #

Isn't there anyone else who wants to share a picture of what they received??

Shelley! Still no package!! Strange!! Been so long time now, shouldn't it been here by now?

Sebbe 11/16/2006 #

Nothing for me and it never gona be. :( I'm just glad that Erin got my packet. :)

Mammamuh 11/23/2006 #

I'm not a perticipant of this swap - but it's not un usual that things from US - Canada takes up to 2 months to get here.

It depends on how they send the stuff.

It's sad - since it takes less than a week (in most cases) for packages to get there if sent the other way.

Agnetha 11/23/2006 #

I think that if you choose to ship a package by a slow option, you gotta tell your partner about it so that person knows!! Otherwise the person will think that it's been ripped off and won't receive anything!

Agnetha 12/ 4/2006 #

What happened to this swap?? I've only heard 4 people receiving their packages! What about the rest? I still haven't received anything myself :(

Sebbe 12/ 5/2006 #

I've got a pakcet from Erin! She is an angel! :D

Agnetha 12/11/2006 #

SHELLEY: I still haven't received the package and no reply from my last two e-mails that I've sent to you. I don't think the package will show up at this point. It's taken too long time and it must have gone lost somewhere on the way. Would you please consider sending a replacement package?

Agnetha 12/13/2006 #

I assume that everyone has received their packages as no one is writing that they haven't. So is it only me who hasn't received anything at all???
