Description:

International

For swappers who are low on cash or have a growing stash of nice but unused/not-needed swap items.

The objective of this swap is to not spend any money to buy items for the swap but to send items you already have.

What to send? You will send at least 3 items, worthed about US$5, to your swap partner. (Of course you may send more to aim for hearts for your rating!)

Example of swap items can be but not limited to embroidery floss, fat quarters, assorted teas, stationery, postcards, stickers, etc.

Do take some time to read your partner's profile and find out what he/she likes or dislikes. Please take note that some countries, like Australia, do not allow teas in the mail.

Please do not send used items or "trash". A good guide will be to ask yourself if you will feel happy receiving it.

Who is eligible? This swap is open to international. Newbies are allowed ONLY with completed profile. I reserve the right to ban suspicious swappers.

this sounds just great! i'd like any old records, postcards and stationary you have that you don't want anymore. just no toiletries please, as i'm allergic to most. :)

baybelletrist 10/ 4/2008 #

What a great idea! I'm up for just about anything, though like onehappyrobot, I'm allergic to quite a number of toiletry items, so it's probably safer not to include those.

This is my first swap!! This going to be fun. I'm allergic to cats(I have asthma) so please no kitty hair:)

baybelletrist 10/10/2008 #

Eek, rainbowwillow, how sensitive are you to cat hair? I have two cats, and while of course I would never send someone things the cats had slept on or anything, it's very very hard to ensure that absolutely no cat hair or dander adheres to something unless you buy it and send it out without ever bringing it home--which of course goes against the whole point of this swap. :)

hi friends i newbies... just hope to join this swap.. i love cat so much..

nana0banana 10/12/2008 #

I am In too. I have so much "staff" to give away...

Count me in!

rainbowwillow63 10/14/2008 #

I'm okay as long as it's not like clothes and stuff. I guess that won't be a problem unless we can fit that into an envolope:) It's a habit that I write that, sorry.

GuitarRose 10/14/2008 #

I love all cutsie stuff... Is homemade ok?

AnnMarie 10/15/2008 #

I like pretty much anything but no clothes items and is it ok to send handmade jewelrey?

Trinket 10/15/2008 #

Be aware I do often make items for people. Os I hope hand made things are ok with this trade. I mean its no worry if they aren't and I always check a persons profile.

Please though no candy or foods for me. Im trying to be good and sweeties through the post would be cheating.

lizardolly 10/15/2008 #

OOh this is PERFECT- I've got loads of goodies to share! If you're my partner, please, please, no sweets (I'm diabetic) and no loose glitter- it makes me itchy.

NaughtyElf 10/15/2008 #

This is my first swap, I have some neat stuff around the house, hope it's ok for most. I will read your profile to make sure what I have is cool and send the best suited things. Just look over my profile if any questions, I'm pretty easy to please! I'm so excited!

vanessavh 10/15/2008 #

Nothing with peanuts, and no toiletry items, but other than that anything is great, homemade included!!

AZsewinggramdma 10/15/2008 #

I like just about anything except food items or toiletry items. Love handmade crafts or sewing items. This is my 2nd swap, mailed my first one out this morning.

Tricia22 10/15/2008 #

Hello, I like notecards,postcards,stickers,cats, I like handmade stuff too. For more take a look at my profile.

LadyBathory 10/16/2008 #

IHey there :)

Please nothing with rabbit hair :) This is my first swap, and I'm looking forward to it :D

I like vintage nude postcards, old buttons, pretty ribbons, old clock gears and watch parts, halloween things (Hard to get here in Denmark) amd much much more, take a look at my profile.

MuzicChiq 10/16/2008 #

Do we know who are partners are?

LadyBathory 10/17/2008 #

No not yet, Banshee dosn't seem to have been online to sign them out yet.

NaughtyElf 10/17/2008 #

I hope she assigns soon, I can't to get started, plus it is eating into our time to get this completed, I just want to do a good job. We'll see, probably just nothing, and I am just over anxious.

Oops, didn't mean to post twice, my pc hasn't been loading pages very well, I think the refresh must have done it, sorry!

juliewong96 10/17/2008 #

Hi I am from overseas but I noticed the deadline is over but I havent receive any swap partners yet for me to send the items to. Could you please tell me how it work? Thanks

tamari 10/25/2008 #

i love all arts and crafts:) 10x!

tammylci 10/29/2008 #

should have been sender's choice..

rainbowwillow63 11/ 1/2008 #

I'm sorry but my package is going to be late to LadyBathory. I just got out of the hospital yesterday so I couldn't send it. I will be mailing it on Monday. I hope thats okay.

rainbowwillow63 11/ 1/2008 #

Me again:) I almost forgot that I got a package from murniwan3121 also. What great stuff she sent!! Beads, notepad, stickers, a candle, a really cute little umbrella and a wonderful note. Thanks so much for the cheer!!

rainbowwillow63 11/ 5/2008 #

LadyBathory-Just wanted to let you know that your package went out on11/3. I forgot to put it in as sent. Sorry.

murniwan3121 11/ 8/2008 #

murniwan_3121 i just received from stuff from kawaiirene i love it very much

tammylci 12/ 7/2008 #

I'm so frusrated. I should have asked when my assigned partner had over 100 swaps under her belt. I suspected that she is up to no good and it turns out now she's suspended. I don't know how I am going to get rated now. I sent some pretty cool stuffs to her, kawaii stamps, mini scrabooking booklet.. etc. How do one go about this? i'm new so I'm very inexperienced. Will i ever get rated?

xlizixa7x 12/16/2008 #

ok im confused. i waited for a partner for agers, then decided the swaps probably not going on, and i then didnt sign in for ages thinking nothing of it because i didnt get a package through anyway..

now i have a 1 and i feel bad :(

im sorry. x
