Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:pumpkinniki (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Miscellaneous  Photography 
Number of people in swap:4
Location:International
Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Last day to signup/drop:February 26, 2010
Date items must be sent by:March 12, 2010
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

I collect pictures of things that look like they have smiley faces in them. In this swap, you will have 3 partners. To each of these partners you will send a picture of something that looks like a smiley face. You can send it as a PC or in an envelope. (Sender's choice.) To be clear, the smiley face can't be a real face, or an actual smiley. It is to be something that can't possibly smile and doesn't have a face, but looks like it is smiling anyways! (Like the new Mazda.) Please be creative. The "smiley face" doesn't necessarily have to be smiling.

Requirements: The picture must belong to you! Do not send pictures that are not yours! No 1's or 3's Must have a decent hearts to completed swaps ratio (AKA must be the kind of swapper that puts in the extra effort!) No newbies...well established swappers only I reserve the right to ban anyone that I think may flake I reserve the right to make exceptions with a reasonable cause

So, I have a couple of pictures. Who do I swap with?

twobluecrows 02/ 5/2010 #

allforlovinglife after Feb 26 you'll get an e-mail saying partners are assigned, then you come back to this page and in the upper right corner will be a link "See the partners you send to"--click that and a window will open showing your partner's contact info.

@allforlovinglife the swap won't have partners assigned until after the last date for signing up, which is February 26, so it won't be until at least the day after that..you have plenty of time. Look for an email telling you that partners have been assigned for this swap probably on Feb. 27. Then you can check for the yellow box on the upper right of the page and you will see the link with "partners you send to" that @twobluecrows mentioned.

Hope that helps!

also, @allforlovinglife I don't think you qualify to participate in this swap, as you are a newbie, and the swap requirements state "no newbies..well established swappers only"....

You should fill out your profile, too....most hosts won't allow you to participate in swaps without a well-filled out profile..if you aren't sure what it should look like, feel free to click on my name at the beginning of this message,, and you can check out mine, or anyone whose name is "click-able"..it will take you right to their profile, so you can have an example of what to include in yours.

Good luck!! Hope to see you in some other swaps soon....

pumpkinniki 02/ 6/2010 #

Sorry, allforlovinglife, But this swap is for well established swappers only.

candigirl 02/ 6/2010 #

I am apparently a bad swapper, I don't have enough hearts (I have 271 hearts from my 217 swaps) so I have been banned by the host..but I hope all of you who have hearts for every email, postcard, and every other swap you have ever done have fun...because I think there are very few of you out there, so it might be a small swap......(I think saying that you have to have a "decent" hearts to swap ratio" is rather vague..and in that case, mine would be over 100%...hmmm...)

Good luck!

candigirl 02/ 6/2010 #

Oh, wait..the host herself doesn't have perfect hearts..only 19 for her 23 ratings of 5, so she may have to recuse herself from the swap to be fair....She also doesn't really qualify as an "experienced swapper", with only 17 completed swaps..so, double jeopardy there.....

Nikki, you might want to rethink your requirements, since you don't meet them yourself.

pumpkinniki 02/ 6/2010 #

Hearts had nothing to do with it! The requirements clearly state no 3's! While checking in to decide on making an exception, candigirl dropped on her own!

pumpkinniki 02/ 6/2010 #

And I absolutely meet my requirements. I've heart of people hearing voices, but I didn't know the voices typed, too!

candigirl 02/ 6/2010 #

Niki, do you want me to send you a copy of your PM in which you stated that my "hearts to ratings ratio" was not good? I have the written proof...my mother always said, if you don't want everyone to see something, don't PUT IT IN PRINT. Too late, you already dug your own hole. Jump in, sweetie!

pumpkinniki 02/ 8/2010 #

I have copies, too! You might want to consider rereading them! I told you they were decent! It was about your 3 rating. Go back to highschool. I'm thru with you!

PS: I've been warned about your fake "copy and posts." I have screen shots honey!

candigirl 02/ 8/2010 #

Yeah, whatever..coming from a little girl who has been here on swap bot for a month or two...and has 17 swaps. Your credibility isn't there yet.

I think you are a lot closer to "high school" than you would like to admit, and you cannot seriously think that anyone is going to join this swap after all your foolishness.

smooch and hug.....have a great day!

I considered joining this swap because I really love photography. But after reading some of the comments posted here by one individual in particular, I won't be joining after all. I really wish that that the one who started poking her nose in (not the one who is hosting this swap) and started the whole ranting & shouting would realize that Swap Bot (as much as I love it!) isn't your entire life! It's not worth falling on your sword over it. Yes there have to be rules & guidelines because unfortunately there are some people out there who are irresponsible & immature. I have been flaked on several times since I joined last year. But I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than crucify them. We all have challenges & difficulties in our lives. None of us has any idea what is happening in someone's life. People are always more important than things. It is better to be a little too kind than scratch someone's eyes out. If we all wanted an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth--the whole world would be blind and toothless. Also, if you are that upset about the guidelines set by the host, why don't you host your own swap? I really feel sorry for you. In fact I pity you because you have nothing better to do with your time than tear someone else down.

ArtfulFig 02/ 8/2010 #

pumpkinniki you can count me in this swap. I love the idea and the challenge of finding smiley faces in objects, etc that are not faces. I can't wait to see what everyone finds! Good luck everyone & have fun. :o)

pumpkinniki 02/ 9/2010 #

Thank you, ArtfulFig, for not letting her win over you. And taking the extra step to see what the truth is. Hopefully, this will be the last of her harassment, and we can get back to the fun! :)

JohnnyDingo 02/12/2010 #

Hey Pumpkin, Haven't seen you at the GC meetings lately. I'll watch this for now and see if I can find objects that meet the requirements. I'll keep the camera with me. LOL. I like the concept, but I haven't done any photog swaps yet, so this would be a good one to start with. Thanks for the invite.

I enjoyed doing a swap similar this in December. [Photo Challenge- Smiley Faces in Inanimate Objects](http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/50240"Photo Challenge- Smiley Faces in Inanimate Objects") but was flaked on by two swapers.

I'll watch this swap and hopefully join as it gets closer. I always keep my camera with me and take pictures of just about everything so I hope I'll get some good ones to send.
