Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap you will have 1 partner. To which you will send, 1 pretty resuseable tote bag , handmade or purchased, but it must be girlie and 1 profile surprise. I'll set a limit of $5 for this swap since totes should be fairly cheap -! (Although, the profile surprise should have a girlie theme or purchase something that ladies love: cute hair pins, bracelets or chocolate...)

Once you’ve signed up please leave a comment with any preferences. Try not to be too demanding!

I shouldn’t have to tell anyone this, or I hope that I shouldn’t have to tell anyone this, but here it is anyway: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send BRAND NEW, NEVER USED totes to your partner!

This is going to be an international swap – because I love getting cute totes from other countries (that...and I adore paperchase..teehehe)

Please, no 1’s, 3’s, and no no-sends. If you feel you’ve been unfairly rated please PM me and I will allow participants on a case by case basis. My goal is to eliminate any flakers and protect the other swappers. Newbies are welcome but only with EXTREMELY detailed and complete profiles!

Lastly, if at any time you feel you cannot complete the obligations of this swap please remove yourself from the swap. No questions asked.

Happy Swapping!

Hi, I'm a newbie and I love bags. :) I already have a stash of recyclable bags and I want to collect more! I'm not sure what's a "profile surprise" is ... can someone tell me? Thanks!

I'm watching this!

I believe that profile surprise is when you read the profile of the person you are to send to, then find something on there that you will send in the tote bag...the profiles should have lists of items that people DO or DO NOT want.

Moosemama - thanks for the explanation. :) I'm really looking forward to this swap.

AcadiaChick 04/26/2009 #

JaceY - moosemama is exactly right. That's why detailed profiles are so very important!

I'm excited for this swap too! :) I'm running another Girlie Swap if anyone is interested. Cute Panties and Profile Surprises!

Can I make the tote or does it have to be store bought?

almahill 04/26/2009 #

Is this a tote bag or eco-green bag like a walmart one for 50 cents? Also, can I sign up and have my partner send it to my 10 year old granddaughter instead of me? She is the closest to a girly-girl in our family. Thanks.

AcadiaChick 04/26/2009 #

llaspina - in the description it states that it should be store bought. but once partners are assigned you could PM your partner and ask if maybe she wouldn't mind getting a tote made by you.

almahill- it's an eco-bag essentially. but i'm trying to avoid people getting their bags from wal-mart because they're not too girlie. I know Yves Rocher has a pretty floral print bag, and Winners has a few polka dotted bags - just to give you an idea.

moosemama 04/27/2009 #

I was going to join, but we do not have any 'girly' eco bags in our small town.... just Walmart, Target, Albertsons etc. I was hoping I could sew one.

AcadiaChick 04/28/2009 #

I don't that anyone would be entirely upset if they received a handmade bag - as long as it was girlie fabric. I'll tweek the description a bit.

JaceY 04/28/2009 #

I, for one, will not mind receiving a handmade bag at all. :) As AcadiaChick said, as long as it's a girly fabric.

I'm excited about this swap. It's my first. I can't wait to do this.

AcadiaChick 04/29/2009 #

So, I went shopping today...and I found some really super cute girlie totes at the Dollarama (similiar to the American Dollar Tree I guess), Michaels, and Walmart. I picked up a couple of each. I'll send a couple to my partner and since the grocery store here just started charging 5 cents for plastic bags it's a great incentive for me and others to start remembering their reusable bags!

tuesdae1 04/30/2009 #

I will be making a bag!

dmarie 04/30/2009 #

I would love a handmade one but storebought is ok too!!! :)

provadia 05/ 1/2009 #

I would love a handmade cute/kawaii fabric one! Would die of happyness! Lol! But, storebought is fine too!:)
