Weekly Newbie Swap

Welcome!! This weekly swap is set up to help serious newbies get ratings quickly, without skimping on a quality swap.

This will be an International swap since you can easily customize a light weight package.

This swap will be open to ALL new swappers WITH a filled out profile. This is very important! Other swappers are also welcome to join, I will be checking profiles though. I reserve the right to ban anyone with a poor swapping history.

What will we be swapping? Anything you want. Let’s send our partners our best. Once partners are assigned you will have the weekend to create something wonderful for them. You will need to go check out their profiles and choose items you think they will love. Now this swap doesn’t have to cost much, just your time.

Do you knit or crochet? Maybe you could send a dish cloth, a recipe and a lovely homemade card.

After reading your partner’s profile did you feel like you have a lot in common? Send them a lengthy pen-pal letter along with some homemade tags.

What about a hobby or favorite craft? You could send a journal & pretty pen to a writer. Or some nice yarn for a knitter.

These are just ideas, get creative and send your partner something you’d like to receive. Something you’re proud of.

Welcome to round 4!

Don't forget to take pictures!! Let's post them to the flickr group... as an incentive, I will randomly pick 1 person every Friday who has posted a pic to the flickr group during the previous week. I will send this person a little surprise!! Post people:-)

I have to drop from this swap as it is a Holiday weekend here in Canada and no post offices will be open (totally forgot about it). I'll join up in the next one.

Ok everyone... I am very tired tonight and can't make it another hour and a half till midnight. I will assign partners first thing in the morning.

Be warned, the next weekly swap description will be updated!! So to everyone who has been joining every week it will be changed a tad bit.
