I'm willing to swap with newbies domestically for: * Handmade notecards, earrings/jewelry, matchboxes * glass beads *penpals and other small scrapbooking supplies...

Please pm me to arrange a swap! Thanks!

what a wonderful idea og

Let's hope some of the newbies see this thread, lol - it took me almost 7 months before I 'discovered' the forums - now look!! Somebody stop me before I swap again:)

lol lets see how many people get their thongs in a bunch and say its not a well deserved /legit swap and all the huup-la to meet certain requirements ...I know someone will find something wrong with us doing this ...but oh well im willing to help out those who are just starting out ...

I don't see how anyone could think that these swaps wouldn't be well-deserved or legitimate. I find it to be much more legitimate than an e-mail swap. You're actually swapping 'goods' and I believe that's what people are concerned with..."newbies" actually following through on sending material goods.

Not quite ready to offer up my services, but great idea OG and good luck with it everyone!

I'm willing to swap both internationally and domestically for profile goodies. Hopefully this will encourage newbies to make sure their profiles are completely filled out.

*I'm always up for swapping shotglasses, and stationary so if some olbies also want to swap just let me know what you want in return. :)

I doubt anyone would disapprove of such a good idea. I don't have many hearts (cue violins) because I haven't done that many swaps - I'm European, not fond of Kawaii, crap at crochet and I don't collect ATCs, although I do enjoy making them (yup, weird). Mainly, I struggle to find swaps I really want to (and can) do. I do a bit of sewing, work with polymer clay, make stamps & notecards and have a seemingly endless amount of craft supplies to swap with any newbie that fancies bolstering both our ratings.

I'm willing to swap internationally and domestically for profile goodies, but can probably be persuaded to swap other things (eg tea, candy, any craft stuff)

Ask, the worst I will do is say 'sorry, can't do it'

I'm willing to swap international for kawaii items and profile suprises ^-^

I'm willing to swap with newbies domestically. I would like to swap

New Sticker Sheets

Fabric FQ's or full a yard

Buttons

Brads

Scrapbooking Paper

Recipe Books

or any crafty items

I would be willing to help out, but what I personally would like to do, is I will send my swap, when I receive the swap first.

I like fancy paper, loose tea, note cards.

I would prefer just Canada for now, till I see how it goes.

Hope I can help!

I'm willing to swap domestically with newbies, internationally for smaller goodies.

profile surprises
fat qtrs
candy (prefer to do this internationally and not a whole lot since I'm on a diet)
postcards

I no longer swap ATCs or matchboxes and I am limited on handmade items. More specifically, I can only sew right now and all my sewing is focused on quilts for my kids!!

I think it is a great idea, and when I am caught up, I'll offer too.

Actually, I have only banned myself from handmade swaps till I catch up, so if any newbie is prepared to trade with me for UK items, postcards, candy/chocolate or craft supplies in return for profile items, contact me and see if we can arrange something. Later I will consider handmade trades too.

Great idea! I'm more than happy to swap for ATCs, ATC supplies, postcards and sticker flakes. I can't offer anything else handmade as I am overcomitted already :)

I'm willing to swap domestically for sewing and stitching related things, fabric, fibers, beads, buttons, pincushions, etc. I can't manage much more beyond the formal swaps and angel packages I've already committed to.

I'm willing to swap both domestically and internationally for...uh...well for most things, just make me an offer.

This is why SB rules - you guys are the greatest! Generous, helpful, creative, thin, beautiful, kind, talented, etc, etc:) Thanks for supporting this -- now let's see if there are any newbies who are interested, lol! PM me if you don't know how to set up a private swap, I'll be happy to walk you thru it!

I will swap within Canada and the USA for crafting supplies and profile surprises.

Thanks for making this a sticky Rachel! You rock!

i can do within the us for kawaii or stickers sheets or packs

As of February 1 (I leave shortly on holidays) I would be willing to swap with newer members anywhere in the world for anything that I can do, or have already swapped for, as documented anywhere on my profile page. I will have to limit this to one swap at a time (first come, first served, to be fair) so please don't be offended if I have to decline.

Great idea to start this thread Grace!

I am willing to swap ATC's anywhere & profile surprises domestically.

This is a great idea!!

I would love to do newbie private swaps for matchboxes, beads, jewelry findings, fabric, fibres, yarn, buttons, bookmarks (cardstock and metal), paper, embellishments, charms, stickers, notecards, postcards, post-its, brads and of course...bottle caps.

OK, I'll do USA ATC, letters, yarn and misc profile stuffola.

Letter and ATC swaps I'll go innergalactic on.

BTW: I really really like it when someone does something instead of just bitching. Good one Grace...Your forum tag is in the mail manana m'dear.
