Hello swap ladies!

Okay, this is my first time co-ordinating a swap, but I have participated in many, so I've got a clear idea of what I want.

Today is Earth Day. Personally, I am a strong environmentalist, so I really support this day, and it has inspired me to make this.

Let's cut to the chase:

Are you proud to be a woman? Why? What are the pleasures in life you can fully enjoy? Baths, chocolate, tea, girly drinks, books... I could go on, but I leave it to you! Pampering items are in order, here, so I leave you to be the judge of that, being

I would like to marry my two themes. Here are the swap requirements: 1. A minimum of 15 dollars U.S. be spent on the items you purchase (or make) for your partner BEFORE shipping. 2. There must be some sort of note or letter to your partner to explain why you chose to get them what you did, and to introduce yourself! 3. You must have a swap rating of at least 4.7 to enter, and have no no-sends in the last month. I know this sounds strict, but as this is a larger, more time-consuming, and expensive swap, I'm not taking any chances (unless you can message me with a darn good reason!). Genuine newbies are welcome, but only with a full profile. 4. Take a close look at your partner's profile, and get them pampering items they would enjoy. 5. This IS an international swap , so be prepared to pay extra for s+h.

Now, here's the catch: everything you buy MUST be organic, or fairly traded, or both.

Do have fun, and remember to send nice things your partners will enjoy. Let's all aim for hearts!

One rule: Don't like the idea? Don't sign up! :)

I love the organic, fair trade idea! Challenging, but fun!

Hey pink!

I can't read some of the description as it goes off the side and hides behind the ad. You need to take out the quote box that tells about organic/fairtrade and just put it in with * at eather side.

Hey ladies! I, for one, am excited about this swap!

Glad you all like the idea! :D Thanks so much for the help, Cloverst!

When do we get partners?

pinkwhirlitop 05/ 8/2007 #

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I took a couple of days to assign partners. I have been very ill these past few days, so making it to the library to use the computer has been out of the question. Now that the partners are assigned, enjoy! I will add an extra three days to the send date because of my negligence. I am sorry, again. ENJOY, EVERYONE!!! :)

Wow didn't think it would be hard to find organic and Fairtrade swaps. I have managed to get hold of one item today, now on the look again.

Diddldonna,

You can find things like organic chocolate, tea, coffee in the grocery stores. You can also find lotion, soap and bath products in stores.

Me, I love to knit and I can find organic yarn in yarn shop and it's really fun to knit with those yarn.

Mine in almsot ready to go. Should be in the mail on the week-end.

I have managed to get some organic bits, wow that was a challenge, good fun though. Will be posting out very soon, looking for a suitable box.
