Number of swap partners:2
Description:

I do some napkin decoupage here and there, as it is something easier and so inexpensive for the great results it can give.
If this is also your case or you simply like to collect nice paper napkins or show some special ones next to your cup of coffee/ tea, hop in!
As it is an easy-to-find&buy-the-item swap, you will only have one week to join and one more to send out.

------------------ TO DO: -----------------
* You have 2 partners
* You send 5 paper napkins to each partner (minimum of 3 different designs, so 2 of them can be doubles, sometimes 1 is not enough for all the ideas you have for that design :) )
* The swap is international
* Newbies/ unrated swappers are welcome as long as their profiles are well filled (only 2 phrases don't tell me you're really interested). If you have recent 1s and/ or unexplained 3s, PM me.
Please send out some that would make your day if you would receive them, there are a lot to choose from, I believe, in all corners of the world. Also, try to make them fit your partner's style, as you can tell from their profile. If there is something you don't want to receive (in matter of colors, themes etc.), please post it below in the comments or make sure it's visible on your profile. Also, after partner assignment, make sure that you check here in the comments as well as on your partner's profile if they've mentioned anything related to what they don't want to receive. If there's anything unclear, comment or message me. It;s my first hosting, so I am sorry if I missed anything Hope it won't be the case, but I'll try to angel if it's needed.

Have fun swapping! :)

I have lots of pretty ones :)

So @northqueen just opened up 2 seats in the swap that says "very lucky" on them :P Let's see who gets them! :)

I'd love to join, but I don't know where to buy the types of napkins I've received in the past. Any suggestions for me on where to look?

northqueen 08/ 2/2012 #

I would consider doing private swaps with those who are not my partner as well. Thanks for the great swap sim.

I get mine at TJ Max, Marshalls, party stores, grocery stores, dept stores in the seasonal and party section. I wonder if card stores would have them...I am anxious for the holiday ones to be on the shelves. I am a nut for pretty napkins and fancy tissue paper!!!

@latentsmile - In my side of the world, I got mine in grocery stores and party or kitchen section of the hypermarkets - here you can buy them in packs of 10-20-50pieces. Or you can find them in hobby/ craft stores, per piece. Don't worry if you buy a whole pack, if this swap gets interest, I'm planning on hosting it again, simple or with a twist :)

@northqueen - if you still want to swap some more after this and, hopefully the-series-to-become-swap, I am up for a private one :)

thequilterslink 08/ 3/2012 #

are cocktail size napkins allowed for this, i have some cute one, or do you just want the big size?

latentsmile 08/ 6/2012 #

I've looked in 5 different stores and haven't been able to come up with 5 different napkins. :( I am going to keep my eyes peeled and keep searching for napkins in case there is another swap in the future. I'd definitely be interested!!! <3

Pikkis 08/ 7/2012 #

I don´t want to receive any childish ones, please! You get some ideas of the themes I like from my profile, I also like napkins with real-looking flowers!

sim 08/ 7/2012 #

@thequilterslink - I believe it's ok to include some of those as well :)

sim 08/ 7/2012 #

@latentsmile - You only need 3 designs :) I mentioned 2 can be doubles

fawnscrafts 08/ 9/2012 #

Tuesday Morning stores have many of them

tanjch 08/ 9/2012 #

a really nice way to get different napkins - really hoping this becomes a series :)

CraftyLass 08/ 9/2012 #

It has just occurred to me that if both partners have completely opposite tastes, we could be buying @ least 6 packs of napkins, to give them 1 or 2 from.... you better host the next round soon, before I have to explain 300 napkins... :D

CraftyLass 08/10/2012 #

Oh, I'd rather not receive baby/young child or wedding themed etc if possible. Thanks

sim 08/10/2012 #

I am intending to make it a series :) And I hope nobody will get partners with so different tastes :P

Julesdn 08/10/2012 #

I have over 100 different designs and I sell them in my store singly so customers can have 1 of each if they desire :)

sim 08/12/2012 #

@CraftyLass - just figured, 6x20 is 120, so you'll need to explain only 110 :))

CraftyLass 08/16/2012 #

Lol, if only I could stop at buying only 6....

I left the envies unsealed when I headed out this morning - just in case... and lo and behold! You'll never guess what! Another pack jumped into my shopping basket! :-0 .lol

tanjch 08/22/2012 #

i agree with @CraftyLass ... it's hard to stop, especially if you see some that are just perfect :)
