Description:

Hi all, I wanted to run a swap kind of a combination of two I've done in the past: Stuff An Envie and Mega Crafty Swap.

So here's the deal: I've made a list of three categories (handmade, craft supplies, and random items) and you have to select at least 3 items from each category to send to your partner. that's 9 items total that you will be sending! Doesn't matter what you pick off the lists, and I'm not going to say what's going to get you hearts or good ratings, etc. That's up to your partner to decide! The lists are:

handmade stuff (sender's choice as to theme on all):

  • 1 handmade envelope

  • 1 sheet of custom made address labels

  • 10 custom made swap cards

  • 1 ATC sender's choice

  • 1 mix CD based on partner's musical interests on profile accompanied by song/artist list (at least 15 songs)

  • 1 handmade postcard

  • 1 decorated/altered/filled matchbox (32 count)

craft supplies:

  • 20 random assorted buttons

  • 5 scrapbook papers at least 5x5 inches

  • 5 magazine clippings big enough to use for collages

  • 1 roll of deco tape

  • 1 sticker sheet

  • 20 loose stickers

  • 10 brads

  • 1 rubber stamp

random:

  • 15 used postage stamps

  • 2 photographs the sender has taken and printed off

  • 3 postcards (1 Ad, 1 touristy, and 1 random)

  • 1 package of confetti

  • 1 profile surprise

  • 1 piece of candy (that won't melt!)

  • 1 lip balm/gloss

who can join?? Good question. no newbies, sorry! Must have 10 hearts already and a 4.9+ rating with a filled out profile. This is going to be international as well.

other notes: No commenting below and saying what you DON'T want. Please look at partner's profiles!!

Would you consider doing a USA only swap?

maryhassound 10/11/2009 #

I can run a simultaneous USA swap. I just like being able to include everyone. What do you guys think-- USA only as well?

cleopatra 10/12/2009 #

rainbowdaze who has joined your group - flakes. She was in my charm swap and failed to send her partners anything. They have emailed her, I have left notes for her on her page and she completely ignores us. We know she comes online too cos it says when she last signed in. There is no excuse for this and I would suggest you boot her from your swap. Thanks.

I am not a flaker, I did not get any of your messages, I was completely honest about the fact that I had fallen behind, I left it for all to see at the TOP of my profile. I have NEVER fallen behind before, and I resent the fact that the only time I have ever had some personal issues and fallen behind that I am being called a flaker. I had my sister get online and get an address for me and all of a sudden I'm accused of ignoring messages. Today is when I got the messages, and I replied to all, AND sent messages to all the people I'm late sending to. I had to go and stay w/family to help them in a time of need, and did not have access to the computer, and I KNEW I wouldn't so I left a message at the TOP of my profile to let all my partners know that I was falling behind and that I would send as soon as I could get caught up. I tried to be completely honest about it, it's not like I felt good about it...I feel AWFUL about it. It won't stop weighing on my conscience until I am all caught up and have everything sent. I understand the point of view of all my partners who I am late sending to, but instead of immediately saying "SHE'S A FLAKER" why not look at my profile and see that I am trying to be honest about the fact that I have fallen behind, and that I do feel bad for it. I am working on getting caught up, and as soon as I was back to get on here and get my messages, I did so. Have some compassion and empathy and understand that things happen that we sometimes have no control over. I had to make a choice to get my swaps done RIGHT them or be with my family during a hard time...I chose to be with my family, but try to be honest withh my partners by posting this on my profile. I am able to get back into everything now, and get it all done, and am sending extra w/all swaps to try and make up for it in some little way. And I understand if I'm given threes for this, but I didn't have a lot of options, so I tried to do the best I could. I never ignored any messages, I'm not that type of person, and would never do that. I give respect to others, and just wish for the same in return.
