Hello fellow swappers,

Inspired by the "Fandom in a bag" group by @KateKintail I thought it might be a nice idea to start a similar series in this group: Except we won't be using different fandoms but just themes that pop into my (or your) mind.

So, here goes number two in a hopefully long series!

The idea is to take any sort of bag (a ziplock bag, e.g.), that is at least 26,5 x 28,0 cm big and stuff it with goodies corresponding to the theme of the current swap.

The second round of this swap will run with the theme: Your favourite colour

Everybody will list his/her favourite colour (or colours) in the comment section. Once partners are assigned, go there and check what your partner wrote - check their profiles, too, or maybe even send a message. You need to find at least 10 items to fill the bag with! There's no need to make this swap overly expensive - the main idea is to make the bag look really full. Not every item needs to be expensive - you can handmake things, take things from your stash, put in free bookmarks or postcards - just try to make it look nice and varied - a bag full of paper would be a bit boring, right?

There's lots of time for putting together and sending out your bags, so get creative!

Any questions? Ask! Message me or post it in the comment section - I'm open for improvement and new ideas! I hope, lots of you will join! :)

PS: I will check profiles, although as a group swap there shouldn't be many options for unreliable swappers to join.

No pastel colours or beige/grey. Flashing colours make me happy and reminds of summer!

@deelynn Feel free to host a US version! :) I'm not in the US, so it won't be coming from me.

Hollycarole92 12/20/2013 #

Ooo, can I host a US version over in my Dedicated Swappers in the US group?

annesecchio 12/20/2013 #

That is such a cool swap - my favourites are dark green and red :)

Fever 12/20/2013 #

@Hollycarole92 Of course you can! :) Have fun over there, you guys. :)

smadronia 12/20/2013 #

purple! I also like blues, dark reds, cilver/grey, and black. the only colours I'm not wildly fond of are oranges and yellows

sassafrass 12/22/2013 #

If someone has several colors listed, should we be picking one color for the theme, or a mix of their colors? Also, I'm presuming that the item may have other colours, but the dominant color should be the color they listed. Is that correct? Thanks!

AynE 12/22/2013 #

My favourite colours are:

garnet red, which is a brownish red instead of a blue red.

I also love blues, yellows and creams

Fever 12/23/2013 #

@sassafrass Yes, you're right, the dominant colour has to be the one picked by your partner. Also, I'd say, you could do a colour mix if your partner has listed several colours, but if you want to be absolutely sure, contact your partner about it later. :)

Happy holidays to everyone! I'm looking forward to swapping with you guys. :)

I love purple! Light or dark, it doesn't matter, I love every shade of it. Please no yellow, it's the only color I don't like, except in nature.

sassafrass 12/24/2013 #

My fave color is turq/aqua, but I also love jewel tones, pink, white, black. I have samples on my profile :)

Eveline 12/29/2013 #

Hei guys, I extended the deadline until Monday - I just noticed I had put it to a Friday and I always think, after the weekend is a better date, as people have time to get their swaps ready over the weekend. :) Please, everyone, be on time, especially with 3 more days to work with. :)
