Description:

Hello. I’ve really enjoyed all the scavenger hunts lately and have decided to start another one. This is the “Item Scavenger Hunt.� You will have one (1) partner and this is also an international swap.

You will make a list of fifteen (15) adjectives (descriptive words) and your partner will pick ten (10).

For example: sweet, ugly, cute, tall, round, shiny… and so on.

The point of this swap is to find items that YOU think fit the words. For example, you could add a candy bar to describe the word “sweet.� You can make it simple or get a little more complex. It is your choice. The items can be anything and they can be new or used, as long as the items are in good condition. Send something you would like to get!

Recap:

List 15 adjectives in the comment section (don’t forget!)

When the swap begins, check out the list your partner provided and pick 10 out of the 15 items.

You will have 1 partner.

International Swap.

Have a good rating… I will be checking.

Of course, you\'re allowed to do all the items and/or send extra goodies :-)

Have fun and any questions, let me know!

jbtmykids 02/20/2007 #

Okay, do we pick 5 or 10 items? Your description says both.

OyeMichi 02/20/2007 #

jbtmykids: ten :-)

ozrob 02/20/2007 #

this sounds like fun.....but postage could be expensive for me.

Farruska 02/20/2007 #

I\'m signing in for now :) fun! I\'ll go on with the swap is there\'s no problem with the participant\'s rating, swap history and sent/no sent, as unfortunatelly have to do for all swaps lately..... I really hope though, I\'ve been wanting to make this swap for ages!

OyeMichi 02/20/2007 #

ozrob: the items can be small :-)

jbtmykids 02/20/2007 #

Sorry, 10\'s too many for me. It sounds like fun though! Enjoy!

ozrob 02/20/2007 #

OK...I\'m in. I will list my 15 things a bit later (after I have a think). Can\'t wait to start this one!
