This is an international swap - - and open to newbies!

So maybe you’re a newbie and want to join swaps but you aren’t rated yet…Or maybe you've been around awhile, but your ratings have been falling lately…Maybe your just a swapper with a great score and want a simple swap to keep it that way….

So here's a simple swap for you - and have some FUN with it!

Pick three items off the list and send them to two partners…

Got that? 3 items x 2 partners = 6 items….here we go!

*A card of fun buttons

*A roll of patterned ribbon

*a yard of rick rack

*2 skeins of embroidery floss

*1 sheet of sticky scrapbook embellishments

*2 wax tarts

*a NEW memo pad

*3 used off-paper postage stamps, with an animal or flower on it

*stationary set-2 sheets/1 envie

*a unused postcard

*a NEW gel pen

*2 sheets of NEW nice stickers- NO FREEBIE STICKERS i.e. no magazine stickers, no reward stickers, no teacher stickers

*20 spare stickers: stickers that were cut from sheets of stickers...NO magazine stickers, no reward stickers, no teacher stickers

*1 sheet of PRINTED labels for your partner- no handmade label (30 labels is the standard size, if overseas whatever the standard size label is)

*2 flavored tea bags

*10 swap cards

*2 packets of flower or vegetable seeds-please limit this choice to partners within the continental U.S.A. -- seeds aren't supposed to go into Hawaii)

*2 note cards and envelopes

*1 new pack post it notes

*1 mix cd of your favorite songs

*1 new package of incenses

*1 new tube of lip balm or lip gloss (Dollar store stuff is fine)

*5 handmade envelopes

Yes there are a few rules:

Everyone is invited unless you are a notorious no sender!!! This is an international swap so some things cannot be sent overseas (seeds and stamps).

Please limit the “I don’t want sent to me" items to 2 items - - THAT MEANS YOU ARE ONLY TO LIST TWO THINGS FROM THE LIST!!!!

This is supposed to be fun and a surprise! When people start listing and getting demanding it really takes the fun out of swapping!!!

PLEASE SEND YOUR ITEMS and SEND THEM ON TIME!!!! If you can’t fulfill your duties before the swap ends please drop out. Or if you change your mind, please drop out…The send by date means that is the date the items have to be postmarked by. If you have to send late, please e-mail your partners and tell them...

Please be sure to include the right amount of postage on the swap, people do not like to have to pay to receive them!

Include your own name and swap-id somewhere in your swap package - lots of us use nicknames, and it's nice to know who sent the items - and we can properly thank you then!

Remember to Rate your partners when the ratings open. Alot of people are new in this swap and are counting on getting some numbers by their names to be allowed in other swaps.

Be a good swapper! Remember it is important to be nice!!!! Cuz Karma will bite you in the behind!!!

For those who watch the list of swappers...I will be going through the list after the swap ends and banning people then, so scammers who were banned can not start another profile and sign right back up.

Have some FUN with this!

Yay! I love fun and easy swaps like this. Um... as far as my 2 "I don't want" things, I really have no use for rick rack or embroidery floss. I amm sure I will be happy with anything else :]

gramsbuttonbox 12/31/2008 #

welcome to the swap - I do hope it's lots of fun - and hopefully there's lots of things to choose from, so everyone should be able to find something delightful to send!

BTStars 12/31/2008 #

This is going to be fun :) My two "don'ts" are: wax tarts and rick rack.

clkea 12/31/2008 #

I really enjoy these kind of swaps! The two things I don't need are seeds (live in an apartment) and stickers (I have so many already). Anything else will be enjoyed!

This swap sounds great!! I'm thinking of what to send already! So much fun! Congrats to the creator of it! With repect to the don't wants: I'd rather not get rick-rack, the rest sounds super!

pennywhistler 01/ 7/2009 #

What a cool swap. I don't want seeds (no garden) or unused stamps. I know I am only supposed to mention two things I don't want, but I am not sure whether I want wax tarts as I have no idea what they are!

jlinen 01/ 9/2009 #

littleboo 01/14/2009 #

my two dont's are wax tarts and scrapbooking embellishments. this is going to be awesome!

kim91262 01/15/2009 #

wax tarts are like candles, but you melt them and not burn them, i think.

my question: what is rick rack?

gramsbuttonbox 01/15/2009 #

rick rack is a kinda "zig zag" trim - like ribbon, but 'wavy' - does that make sense? hope so...

Amber 01/15/2009 #

Hi, the 2 items I don't want is incense or lip balm/lip gloss

No swap cards or incense please

gramsbuttonbox 02/12/2009 #

Just so everyone knows - -

On swaps that I host, I do NOT click the "items sent" link, because that moves that swap from my dashboard - I want to keep an eye on these. (yes, I know they move to the "sent" page, but that's NOT the first page of this site - and I like to be on top of them)

I DO post on the swap page that I've sent my items, but I just wanted you to know, so that you aren't worried or concerned, if it's very late and it still shows that I've NOT sent!

(this ONLY applies to the swaps that I host)

Mary

I hope you enjoy the selection I picked out.

Have a great week, Mary
