Description:

I'm very much in Marie Antoinette mode. I just love Sophia Coppolas new film on her. For this swap you will be sending your swap partner items inspired by Marie Antoinette, talking about chic, french, luxury, beauty. Items can be handmade or store bought must be $5-$10 before postage. Please do not send used abused stuff, nobody want's to get a swap that belongs in the trash. This swap is for swapers with good ratings, those that have a habit of not sending stuff out will be removed. Any questions you have please contact me:) Here are some links for some idea, have fun!!! http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/marieantoinette/ http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/67/2967/gal2372/

Can first time swappers participate? Because I'd love to do this, but I'm new to swapping.

LadyYing 12/ 4/2006 #

Yes, first time swappers can join up :)

Glad yo liked it Salvia. Have fun with it. I now Im having fun with the necklace and pin Elisabeth sent me.

LadyYing 01/22/2007 #

Oh bummer I got muse as my swap partner, it looks like she/he likes to not send anything out but get goodies in return. I removed people that had really low ratings or habit of never sending anything out and then the sneeky ones sign up last minute when the swap closes and I can't boot them off. That really sucks :( Oh well, what can you do there will always be little greedy swapers.... for now.

I received an amazing package of goodies from Portugal :) It really perked up my lousy week of being sick. I absolutely LOVE the pen with the feather!

My package went in the mail a little late because of my worst flu ever but I hope it will arrive quickly and that my partner will like it :)

user5207 01/22/2007 #

Bummer! Muse was my swap partner. I hate it that I sent my package to someone who disappeared and isn't going to do their part... :(

user4946 01/22/2007 #

im really glad u liked it, minty.

LadyYing 01/22/2007 #

Yeah sadly Muse just signs up to get free goodies, it's people like that make swaps a downer sometimes. She/he even signed up with a fake email. I'm going to report this swaper but I can't see why it would matter they can just sign up again and do the same thing over and over.

I got my package last Friday! I loved it. I blogged about it here: http://www.blog.momentofstars.com/2007/01/i-love-mail-recently-i-received-my-end.html

I was very disappointed in the swap I received. I worked very hard on the swap I sent out. I've done about 5 swaps and almost everyone that I've recived looked like they just threw some stuff together at the last minute. It's very discouraging, especially when you work so hard on your swap. The Marie Antoinette swap I got didn't really seemed inspired by Marie Antoinette. I guess I'm just frustrated in the whole swap thing. It's like you either get a swap that someone didn't put a lot of thought into or don't even receive one at all. Every now and then you'll get a good swap but one every now and then doesn't really seem worth it. I think this is going to be my last swap for a while.

user4946 01/26/2007 #

i totally understand you oh my stars, im done with swap bot. unfortunatly i cannot drop my next 3 swaps for the partners are already signed for, but im really disapointed in all of this.

LadyYing 01/27/2007 #

^ I totally understand to. I always get stuck with swapers that don't ever send anything out or the ones that send me stuff from their garbage can :( I always try to put the best effort into what I send out thinking I would get the same but I'm always burned. Don't get me wrong, once in a blue moon I get a awesome swaper but it's pretty rare. I used to sign up on a lot of swaps but now I just sign up on ones I really want to do, I maybe sign up on one or two every other month now. I think sooner or later if this trend continues I will probably end up just not bothering anymore :( To bad though because doing swaps was a lot of fun when it worked.

user4946 01/29/2007 #

well, stacey and oh my stars, i think we should start our own club :) "the-ones-that-dont-get-anything-in-return club" Im gonna try the swaps at Crafster. Theres a really cool one about house md and i hope i can get in there. Hopefully its not the same thing as in here.
