Description:

I am so excited about this swap. For those of you who don't know what a friendship ball is its a small ball a little larger than a apple that you use to pass things back and forth to friends. The ball opens and you can place a small gift in and send your friend (partner). They will then place a gift inside the ball and return it back to them. The friendship ball continues back and forth. A friendship ball isn't required. You can use a small nice box or something similar. It just needs to be the size of a large apple or close to it. This will be a 3 month swap. That's right...3 months! In 3 months you will receive several neat little gifts. The goal is to receive something twice a month. So you really want to keep the ball going. When you receive the ball, try to get it sent back out to your partner no later than the following week. That way you should receive a gift twice a month. If you are going to be late, please let your partner know. Keep the gifts cheap. It can be anything from a lip gloss to hair bows to stickers, ornament, lotion, key chain, tea, small book, etc. You get the idea. This is not profile based. Each item should be a surprise. When partners are assigned it will be up to you and your partner who starts first. This swap will be USA only. If I get requests to do a international one, I will.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy swapping everyone!!!!!

Is it alright for a newbie to join this swap?

What a nice idea!

Thanks Crafty and yes, newbies are welcome but please make sure you have a nice filled out profile.

I'd be interested in a swap like this that's profile based. Thanks!

Whoever my partner is, I already found an apple-sized container to do our swaps in. So I can send to you first. :)

When partners are assigned, we have 1 we send to and 1 we receive from, so we'd actually be doing 2 balls, not just 1. Just thought that should be pointed out. Neat idea but probably shorten it to 3 months since it's 2 partners we'd be doing this with and send 1x per month (which would actually be 2x since there are 2 partners...)

Thank you for pointing that out.

Yes, like user2637, I'd love to do a swap like this that is profile based. Are you planning on doing any of those during your series? Thanks!

I think 3 months would be better. I wish there was a way to make it 1 partner total and not 2. Even though it's not profile based I will try and make mine as close to my partners profile as I can to make sure they like what I send.

I'd like to see an int'l swap, profile based, please. I mean, we wouldn't need a requirement to get wish list items but we can use likes/dislikes at least to guide the swap.

Brilliant Whispernova...love this idea.

I'm in the UK. I would love to do this if you do an international one.
