Description:

OK so I am so interested in these wonderful little things called whimsy jars... my problem is there are never any swaps out for them! So what am I gonna do about it? Well start my own swap of course!!!

I am thinking this should be a "surprise" by looking at your partners profile :) I also think it should be a smaller jar like the stage 3 baby food jars. I only say this so that it can be newbie friendly. I say cram it full of anything & everything you can fit... and maybe something a lil extra for a heart.

I reserve the right to ban anyone, this is a USA swap only. This way we can keep shipping costs down.

Also please know what a whimsy jar is & if you don't know eyeball someones page that has 'em!

No one with a rating below 4.9 since I am not able to angel. No "no sends" in the last 3 months. I think that isn't too strict right?

Anyways have fun, any questions let me know!!

If you go to flickr.com and do a search for Whimsy Jar you can find some amazing pictures on there!!

What's the best way to ship these? Box?

Is there a dollar amount minimum?

Lousmomma 06/ 8/2008 #

No, no dollar amount, I think it should be stuff as full as we can get it. Of course they are rather small jars :) I am assuming a small box would be best to ship it. Just remember to eyeball your partners profile & surprise them with goodies :)

PS sorry it has taken me a bit to respond, have had a family emergency out of town that took a good deal of time for me to get over.

Thanks for the invite I would absolutely LOVE to join! One question - can we really use baby food jars or is that just an example? ^_^

Quick Question ~ Do you have to decorate the outside of the jars?? I have seen some that have and some that haven't! Thought better to ask than not!

Lousmomma 06/18/2008 #

Hello everyone that has messaged me, sorry it took me so long to respond, I had to leave town quite quickly & have just gotten back. I apologize for any probs this may have caused :)

Hi, I went to the store and put 3 baby jars together and came up with http://www.containerstore.com/browse/bigproductpic.jhtml?PRODID=10022367

I hope this is acceptable. It can be used as a mini trash can.

If not, please let me know. Thanks bunches :)

I was at IKEA last night....I know they aren't located in abundance....but they had the CUTEST small jars that looked like baby food jars. (4) for $2.99. I bought some of these for Whimsy Swaps! Will they work? Here is the link:
