Description:

OPEN TO: NEWBIES AND INTERNATIONAL =^_^=

  • Do you live in a rural community where your access to kawaii items from Japan or China are limited?

  • Is your nearest Sanrio, San-X, Q-Lia, etc. distributor more than an hour away?

  • Are you forced to spend exhorbitant amounts in shipping just to own your favorite Hello Kitty, Badtz Maru, Chococat, etc. when the item itself may have only been priced for pennies?

  • Are you crafty and creative, often making your own kawaii items?

=^-^= THEN THIS SWAP IS FOR YOU!!!! =^+^=

Here's the rules:

You are to read the comments below or the profiles of participants and see what kinds of kawaii they like. Also, think of kawaii that you like. THIS IS SWAPPER'S CHOICE!!! (but if someone says they don't like a certain kind--i.e. I don't like Gloomy Bear---then don't send them that kind.)

You will have 1 partner only.

Fill a 6 X 9 envelope with HANDMADE kawaii items. (you can include store boughts as an extra treat, but THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY).

Examples: Felt stuffies, bookmarks, stickers printed from your home computer using scanned or internet images, letter sets (made the same way), magnets, decorated pocket mirrors, hand decorated pencils/pens or little containers/boxes, crochetted/knitted amigurumi critters, handmade kawaii hair items, handmade earrings, totebags, etc.

REMEMBER: THE POINT IS THAT THE KAWAII IS HANDMADE!!! THIS IS TO CELEBRATE AND HELP OUT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO "REAL" KAWAII ITEMS. If you are expecting "real" or exact items, don't join this swap.

If you are unsure what "kawaii" is--do a google search for "Japanese kawaii" and click on images. You'll get a good idea then.

fine print: Make sure there is a VARIETY of items. DO NOT send an entire envie of stickers. So, I'm going to say that you should include at least 3 different items.

STUFF THOSE ENVIES!!!

Please, no Gloomy Bear or Disney anything for me. I have really gotten into Shinkansen lately. Always love Chococat and the like. =^_^=

holy cow this looks like a ridiculous amount of fun! Message to my partner: have fun, I love anything handmade and I don't really have any kawaii dislikes. Though if you want to see my favorites, it's on my profile.

Welcome Patabear! =^_^=

Any Kawaii welcome not Disney as i feel this is not Kawaii. I do like Hello Kitty but would like to have something with other characters on.

I like Mamegoma, Monokuro Boo, and any kind of food with faces items the best, but anything is welcome!

I do not like Hello Kitty or Disney.

This sounds really fun! I love most kawaii but not really sushi or meat things being vegetarian and not keen on munokuro boo the pigs...but anything that's handmade for me will always be appreciated! Specially like kawaii frogs, penguins, dogs, cats, food, water droplets, and pretty much any animals and especially MONKEYS!! :)

Loved making this swap and I can't wait to see what they made for me! I hope my partner likes her goodies too :)
