Description:

Quick and Easy Swap, you have 1 partner you send them 30 various Kawaii memo/stationay sheets, You can have some doubles but just not all the same, try to limit your doubles to 10 or less if you can. They can NOT be homemade, which means you cant print them off your computer they must be the real deal. They CAN be a combination of letter sets, envelopes, mini memo, regular memo, and letter pad sheets. There will be no requests, just appreciate what you get. If your partner sends you 30 items please give them a five. You can always send more and aim for hearts. This is an international swap, should not cost too much to send the sheets. Newbies welcome with filled profiles but e-mail me first. No more than 1 no-sends and e-mail first. Ok :) should be a quick and easy way to get a rating.

nice idea but I don't have 30 various kinds :(

krisssssyyyyyyyyyyy 06/21/2007 #

Doubles are fine just limit them to 10 or less so there is some variety.

kittenmeowmeow 06/21/2007 #

neat.. do envies and matching paper count as one or two items? and what about small memos? they count as one? I"m looking to get more variety in my letter writting supplies. so this will be fun!

krisssssyyyyyyyyyyy 06/21/2007 #

Each piece counts as one no matter the size or item, that way it makes it easier to meet quota, so envelope counts as one, the matching sheet counts as one, everything counts as one :) But I do expect some common sence with it, 30 mini tini weenie memo sheets just would not cut it, have variety please.

He he, just went through my stash and I think I can send 30+ unique sheets - so my partner will get variety :) (Of course there are some memo sheets from the same pads, but all have a different design :))

Can't wait to know my partner so I can send :)

I'm a newbie, and I THINK I know what a "Kawaii" item would be . . . But just in case, will you define this for me? Sanrio, etc.?

krisssssyyyyyyyyyyy 06/21/2007 #

Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute, it has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, its used almost everywhere, where here in North America the "Cute" things are usually reserved for kids, in Japan even the govt uses Kawaii in their publications. Basically if it comes from Japan and is cute its Kawaii. The two largest manufacturers of such "cute" merchandise are Sanrio (manufacturers of "Hello Kitty") and San-X (manufacturers of "Kogepan", "Nyan Nyan Nyanko" and "Rilakkuma"). But Kawaii does not have to come from San-X or Sanrio, like I said anything from Japan that is "Cute" is considered Kawaii. Ok :) hope that helps.

Ooo a good idea is to go to www.flickr.com and type in Kawaii in the search, you dont have to be a member or anything to see the pics of Kawaii, ok :) that should help too.

kittenmeowmeow 06/27/2007 #

kittenmeowmeow try phoophie.com/store/index.php - great prices (since i lived in japan I know they're only a dollar or two off of the actual price) and they have a really kawaii, great selection! and if you like fabrics and stationery www.etsy.com is a great place to get both handmade and actual items. try sakurafabrics.etsy.com she has fabric and sometimes stationery/stickers.

krisssssyyyyyyyyyyy 07/ 2/2007 #

I get mine from phoophie I also get mine from e-bay and shopkawaii.com I have ordered from all and all are great prices, my favorite would be shopkawaii.com though :) Kris

Can it be cards too?

And what about christmas themed? :S I have a giant stash of kawaii chirstmas cards... I'd only include two or three though. (All different)

kittenmeowmeow 07/ 3/2007 #

oh thank you!! i'll go take a look at it now. shipping is not too expensive? that is them main reason i don't buy online.
i'd perfer not to have christmas cards.. i really have too manyof them and not many relatives to send them to.

user9382 07/ 3/2007 #

Okay. I will have to run out and get a bit more stationary then. :3
