Three partners seems an awful lot when thinking about postage. Do the lists have to go snail mail?

Seren 08/ 7/2008 #

A regular stamp will cover this in a standard envelope...at the most 60 cents if you write big and use several sheets of paper. (Each)

International (Europe) will run you about 94 cents if you write small, $1.10 if you use a lot of paper or an oddly sized envelope. (Each)

I remember doing this swap earlier this year and I loved it. I've had pretty good time reading them ..

schlabs 08/14/2008 #

This swap is snail mail

tkoufus 08/19/2008 #

i am joining because it is only a one stamp swap, makes it cheap and easy for me.

milley08 08/20/2008 #

This sounds like fun! Looking forward to it!

mspeegle 08/20/2008 #

I am half way through my list, it is harder than I thought! :)

Godsrockangel 08/21/2008 #

Its it 300 different things or 100 things just like photocopied (obviously not photocopied but its the easiest way to explain what i mean hehe)

MJjunkie86 08/21/2008 #

wish this was just one partner! dont think my hands could take writing out 100 things 3 times!!

schlabs 08/21/2008 #

You can type and copy the list

schlabs 08/21/2008 #

@Godsrockangel 1 list with 100 things is hard enough to fill and yes you can print out the list three times.

Godsrockangel 08/22/2008 #

hehe okies just thought I'd better check!!!!

MJjunkie86 08/22/2008 #

@schlabs nah that seems impersonal, plus i wouldnt like to read a printed page! oh well if you ever did another one with just one partnet that has to be hand written, count me in!!

mittsie 08/22/2008 #

sorry, but i'm a total n00b at swap-bot ... so we get the address from the profiles ... pick 3, and snail mail?

sportzmedchick 08/22/2008 #

no mittsie, we are assigned partners after the signup date ends. Swap-bot picks the partners that you send to, and then you click the button on the right that says "Partners you send to"

schlabs 08/23/2008 #

@MJjunkie86 I think I would start the next round on October

ladydy5 08/23/2008 #

100 things, getting a little personal ain't we?

angelstar 08/23/2008 #

I wish I could join this one. But I'm in another swap that ends on the same date and has the same sent by date. I just can't do them at one time.

lace 08/24/2008 #

oh ...I am totally done with mine and so ready to see who my partners are :D

MyAliceFair 08/25/2008 #

Would Two first class stamps work to mail one or two sheets internationally, do you think?

schlabs 08/25/2008 #

I´m not familiar with the us mailing costs, but I think it would be cheap.Yestzerday i get a letter from USA with 3 sheets and stamped with 47 Cent.

BtrflyMoominLvr87 08/26/2008 #

i prefer mine handwritten, i know is a lot to write, i do all mine handwritten and if my partners do i will for sure give you hearts, D.

Dragonfli 08/26/2008 #

I'm new and I'm so excited to do this swap!

Dragonfli 08/26/2008 #

I wouldn't mind hand writing mine out. I love to write. I keep an inspiration journal with quotes, poems, stories, etc., anything that inspires me. And this is in addition to my regular journal and blogging.

tkoufus 08/26/2008 #

i would just like to share that these swaps with lists are fun, i have done lots like this one and they can be as personal as you want to make them.

i am sorry if my partner prefers hand written but mine will be typed. though its not meant as a criticism perhaps MJjunkie86 might like to think about those of us with health issues such as mine or arthritis or those who have totally illegible hand writing. i have had letters hand written that are impossible to decipher.i have fibromyalgia and it is hard in the hands to write three copies out.

to the person who said it wasnt personal to get a photocopy then i would say i send my same list out to all my partners but i personalise it by printing it on on paper that is my partners favourite colour or if they like animals for example i might send their copy on paper with a dogs on it or decorate the paper with stickers etc. that they like. there are plenty of ways to personalise the copies for each partner. change the font style and size of print and make each copy different that way.

to the person who said that 100 things is a little personal remember that you choose what to list so you have control on just how personal it might be. you can go in depth or you can just list small facts like what your fav food is and so forth.

this isnt a criticism its just observation and my sharing. i just wanted to encourage the swap host after the comments others had made and i wanted to encourage those who are yet to sign up that this swap will be fun and very positive.

BtrflyMoominLvr87 08/26/2008 #

well i have a disability as well, bursitis which is 10 times more painful than arthritis and also arthritis in my hands but i do handwrite my stuff as is more personal. it takes me longer but hopefully is more appreciated than typing, plus typing also aggrevaites arthritis, so since i got a nasty note about me giving a heart for my partners making the effort to handwrite, i will leave this swap and good luck to the rest, typing for me is for business matters, so i find it impersonal, and not pen pal like, D.

JenDiggityDirt 08/26/2008 #

You know, there just aren't enough opportunities in my life for me to be self-absorbed so COUNT ME IN! This sounds like a blast. I don't care if my partner types it or handwrites it or photocopies it or paints it or cuts out letters from magazines and glues them on a sheet of paper ransom-style or does a photo collage or a diorama, but please no representations in cheese (please).

schlabs 08/27/2008 #

:O)

starofsong 08/27/2008 #

I was thinking that this was an email swap, but see now that it is a snail mail. Could we email it to our partner if they agree to that and save the postage for another swap? Just a thought.

tkoufus 08/28/2008 #

in defence of me who is supposed to have written a nasty note i will share with you all what i wrote to BtrflyMoominLvr87. she has withdrawn from teh swap as she believes my note to her was nasty. you read it and make your own mind up. seeing as i have caused so much grief i ahve apologied and i shall withdraw from the swap and move on but please before any of you judge me read the note i am posting here and see if you think it is nasty. i said more than once it wasnt meant offend and at the time of writing had no idea that she also had a disability. this is what i sent her if you think it is nasty then i do apologise to you as well. it is never my intetion to offend so if any of you know this lady well please see if you can get through to her that i wasnt being awful and that i am truly sorry ......... here goes.......

hi there. please dont take this as a criticism but i read your comment on the 100 things about me swap. i thought it was a bit unfair of you to say that you would give hearts if your partners hand wrote their list. please consider that many of us find handwriting hard due to health issues. i am not chasing hearts but just remember that many of us can produce just as good a list without hand writing it. i personalise my lists by using pretty papers and embellishments when i send them out for example. if a list meets swap requirements then it is worthy of being judged for a heart by content as well as just being writtne by hand. please dont be offended by what i am saying. i just thought aht maybe if someone wrote a list out that was handwritten after reading your comment they are in for a heart even if their handwritting is too hard to read, yet someone like myself who may spend a long time presentin their list in fun way though it is typed isnt in for an w equal chance. please think about what i am trying to share. it is by no means meant to offend , i am jsut asking that you consider thsoe of us out there who have health issues. have a great day. many thanks for reading through this.

krstawrdtravels 08/28/2008 #

This has gotten really dramatic. I just like having a chance to be self-centered for an afternoon lol. Let's keep it friendly guys :)

neca84 08/28/2008 #

BTW it costs $2 Aust to post a letter overseas, so I wont be joining, thanks

schlabs 08/28/2008 #

Each person will be free to handwriten the lists or type the list.

schlabs 08/28/2008 #

after so much discussions bout handriting or not. I have change two things. First we have now only 1 partner and second the sign up date. I hope it will be better nw for all. You can handwritten or typed. Perhaps it will helps to leave a comment here what you prefer, so your partner can choose.

Godsrockangel 08/28/2008 #

ok i'm not fussed how it gets here - it could be written in wax crayon for all i care - i mean in the sense that if you've taken the time do write the list and it's readable surely that fills the requirements of the swap.

If its handwritten thats lovely because its personal but its typed then it's still personal because you've still had to sit there and type it and take time over each line, does that make sense?

nikirniemeier 08/28/2008 #

for my partner .. i don't care if it's handwritten, typed, stamped .. glued, colored, whatever ..

chances are .. i will be typing my page, my hand writing can get very unreadable, and i'd rather have my partner be able to read and give me a completely 5, rather than not be able to read a thing i write and give me a 3. however i can, and will promise in return for typing .. i will not just be writing one worded answers. my answers will have stories .. or personal experiences.

MyAliceFair 08/28/2008 #

I joined! :) This sounds fun.

So, after the sign up dead line are we paired with our swap partner?

As for whoever my Partner turns out to be... Written or typed, decorated or not. Whatever they prefer. :)

lw2dragonflies 08/28/2008 #

i dont care if people type or handwrite their list

lw2dragonflies 08/28/2008 #

i dont care if people type or handwrite their list

MJjunkie86 08/28/2008 #

wow! all this just because i mentioned that i dont want to type mine or to recieve typed letters (any observant person, im thinking tkoufus...., should have noticed at this point that i dropped out of the swap so didnt really need to include me in any future discussion)

oh well, im doing a one on one swap with someone else for a handwritten letter so not going to join now. but thanks schlabs for taking everyones views into consideration!

starofsong 08/28/2008 #

I finished my list last night. I am looking forward to the swap.

TartsandTattoos 08/28/2008 #

Wow...what a string of comments. I'm more curious than particular of how this list is made. Draw it, write it, type it, collage...whatever you like. Most importantly just send it :) "talk" to you soon.

JennaLo 08/28/2008 #

Hi, potential swap-buddies! I am typing my list and decorating it somehow. I don't care if it's typed or written by my partner, as long as I can read it! Sounds like fun.

jacani 08/28/2008 #

I'm so excited, this is my first swap! I prefer handwritten, if legible. Typed is ok, though.

jacani 08/28/2008 #

Kokopelli 08/28/2008 #

Typed or hand-written is fine with me. I think my partner is sharing the same personal info either way. Life is too short to get all bent out of shape over this issue (in my opinion).

PhaedraPhoenix 08/28/2008 #

Ok, so now I've read these comments and have already finished my list x3 ready to go and now it's only one partner, so be it!! I don't mind typed or handwritten, I will probably handwrite mine now as it's only one person. I hope whoever you are you enjoy my ego list!!

AussieSilver 08/28/2008 #

Hiya. :) You can write or type to me - whichever is best for you.

sportzmedchick 08/28/2008 #

Ok - this swap still sounds really fun and I'm excited about doing it! Handwritten or typed, just please please make it legible.

snarglebean 08/28/2008 #

Holy cow, is there some drama here or what? Thank goodness we have the freedom to CHOOSE whether or not to participate in swaps.... and I hope my partner does not represent his or herself in cheese as well (very very clever, JenDiggityDirt!). All in all, I love to get snail mail and I never run out of things to say about myself, so this looks like an awesome swap for me. Count me in!

Meg22 08/28/2008 #

Hi I have been working hard on my list and it is typed. I dont mind how mine arrives but if my partner wants theirs handwritten when they are assigned then I will handwrite it no problems

ShandaPanda 08/28/2008 #

I don't understand why some people seem to search for drama in their lives. Lighten up ~ you'll live longer. I wanted to sign up for this one but now I am scared...and a list written in cheese would have been pretty cool to receive.

Dragonfli 08/28/2008 #

I will hand write my answers for my partner. I would love to have a hand written one back, but I'm easy and typed will be fine. :o)

Guavatree 08/28/2008 #

My letter will be handwritten.

I would prefer a handwritten reply but if you'd like to type it, that's okay.

Simone 08/29/2008 #

If anyone is interested visit List of 100 blog (read some list that have been done before some swappers scanned in their handwritten Lists) and the List of 100 Swap Group.

I have been really blessed since I have started doing these swaps. I have made some good on-line buddies and good connections with some people.

List of 100 Blog List of 100 Swap group - for 100 list swaps - if you plan to run one or one I have not put please send me a message.

choke 08/29/2008 #

I am a newbie to this site and find these List 100 swaps sound like loads of fun. I will be using many different mediums on my list. I don't really mind what kind of list I receive as long as the person has put some type of personal effect on it. A list of 100 things on a regular white sheet of paper seems rather boring :/ My only question is, can I take a small notebook of 100 pages and put one thing on each page? Mostly I'm just wondering that as long as the list arrives with the correct amount of postage does it matter how much it weighs?

lace 08/29/2008 #

if any wants to do a private email swap with me for 100 list i'm totally open to seeing more ppl lists :D

sofia 08/29/2008 #

I love this idea but I'm dropping out now. Since English not is my first language I prefer to type so that I get the spelling and grammar as correct as possible, and knowing that my partner might not appreciate that (together with all the drama) makes me loose interest in participating in this. I might be back for the second round though since I've already started making a list!

bordercollielover 08/29/2008 #

I am just happy to hear from a swap partner. I put a few hours work into my typed copy and feel that it is just as personal. I am happy with any way it is sent to me!

tristia 08/29/2008 #

Wow! I'm signing up just because of all the fuss! hehe :) Looking forward to your lists!

cerebellum 08/29/2008 #

there is something sweet and old fashioned about hand written letters. i plan to hand write mine and i would prefer to have a written letter as well. HOWEVER ... typed = good, too. i just want some fun mail! plus, who doesn't love reading quirky things about others?

i've been away for too long - looking forward to getting back in the swing :)

momto8cats 08/30/2008 #

I accept either typed or handwritten (so long as I can read the writing). :-)

Dragonfli 08/30/2008 #

I can't wait to get my partner. I completed my list today. I'm so excited!

I would like to join in !! Sounds lioke fun!

craftyarmywife 08/31/2008 #

Just signed up and will start my list in the morning!

SapphireRobin 08/31/2008 #

Curiosity gets the best of me ... is it one partner or three??? Either way count me in as I'm starting my list right now :)

milley08 09/ 1/2008 #

I don't mind at all if my list I receive is handwritten or typed. :)

PhaedraPhoenix 09/ 2/2008 #

This is my first swap, how do we know who our partner is? I think it went down from three to one now so handwritten is very doable although not a requirement. I'm fine with either!!

cerwinrhiannon 09/ 2/2008 #

Typed or handwritten, illustrated or not-it matters not to me. I just want to see what other people are like.

lace 09/ 2/2008 #

what...why is it only one person? isn't it three?

schlabs 09/ 2/2008 #

I have change it some days ago after a lot of discussions. I thought it would better so. I will start the next round next month.

musicaljenn 09/ 2/2008 #

i'm a newbie - where do i find my partner?

MissPickle 09/ 2/2008 #

Typed or handwritten, both are fine for me!

Seren 09/ 3/2008 #

I publish a mail art zine and would love to see other peoples lists...but know that I may you parts of your list in the zine. If you want to swap lists, please send yours and I'll send you mine. Email me to get my address.

Thanks!

Dragonfli 09/ 3/2008 #

Being that I'm new to all of this, I just ahve one question. I have my letter done but as far as other items go to send to our partners is there a $$ limit or suggestion?
