Description:

I just hosted one of these swaps, and found it to be pretty popular. I thought I would try doing it as a series once a month!!

Everyone has seen Alice in Wonderland, so everyone knows that we have only 1 birthday and 364 UNbirthdays every year!!

What you need to do is in the discussion section list 10 items you would like to receive. You will need to send 3 items to your partner totaling $10 before postage.

Newbies are no longer welcome in my swaps unless you pm me and give me a valid reason to allow you in, AND you have at least two references of people that have a 4.9 rating or higher that are willing to angel your swap should you not send. I have recently been burned by a few newbies, and I will not be allowing all newbies in anymore. For those of you that aren't newbies, you MUST have a rating of 4.5 or higher, and no no-sends. You also need to have signed in within 3 days of the partners being assigned. Any questionable ratings will be removed. I am only trying to protect the participants of my swaps as well as myself. I can't afford to angel 2-3 swaps for each swap I host. Newbies by my standards have been in fewer than 10 swaps. You must have been in at least 10 swaps and have been rated in at least 10 times. E-swaps and postcards do not count!

For an added ounce of fun, wrap up your gifts like bday gifts. For a heart, add a little something extra.

This is international, it's only fair I allow the peeps from other countries to join as they have UNbirthdays too!!

If you haven't listed your "want list" by the day I assign partners, you will be removed from the swap! Don't just say "see my profile" that takes away from part of the fun!!

hehe, I'm excited for this swap!! I love birthdays, and I'm sure unbirthdays will be just as fun =) As for my list of 10 things, here it is:
- a photobooth strip (these cost about $6 where i live so i understand they aren't cheap, but i LOVE them and they reside at number one of my wish list)
- peanut butter m&m's. I know you can get those small sized bags of them which wouldn't be too expensive maybe a couple of dollars, however i'm not sure where they are available 'cause i never see them in australia.
- polaroid photos (i would probably value these at about $2-3 each in terms of the film)
- a coin purse with a kisslock clasp (preferable not cheap nasty dollar store ones, however i understand there's a budget for this swap)
- 'Hi my name is...' stickers (i don't think these are too expensive, probably around $3)

whoops, i hadnt finished and accidently pressed say it...sorry! Anyway, here's the rest:
- homemade collage (i love fashion photography and altered photos, just nothing too cute or perfect...i like messy things that dont make any sense =] plus this is relatively cost free!)
- poems handwritten on nice paper and/or decorated and with illustrations etc (also inexpensive!)
- photo/s taken by you, maybe presented in a small photo album, or stuck in a notebook (see my profile for an idea of the things i like photos of)
- homemade mix tape (yeah actual cassete tapes lol) I'm open to most music, and i like 'classic rock' like the beatles, america, blondie, fleetwood mac etc. Bonus points for a decorated cover =) I would value this at $5 at least, because of the effort it takes
- I can't think of a last thing, but i do love chocolate lol =)

hmm, on second thoughts i guess being specific to tapes is asking a bit much, so i do also like mix CD's. However i prefer them to have an album leaflet with a decorated cover and a tracklist so that i can keep them with my CD collection and they dont get lost =)
