Description:

I am a scrapbooker and find myself looking for the perfect brad all the time. So this swap is for brads... plain ones, colorful ones, shaped ones, themed ones... all brads except the office store gold paper fasteners unless they have been altered to be a brad.

Rules are simple... you have to mail a mixture of brads...please be sure NOT to send all the same kind or color of brad. Mix it up a bit...For example... I am sending my partner a mix of shaped ones, themed ones, reg round ones and minis....

A minimum of 50 brads with the exception of mini brads... (see below)

4 mini brads = 1 item. This includes the mini flower shaped ones... by mini I mean the tiny ones...

You should send your partner a variety that you would like to receive... no junky brads that are missing 1 prong or have a scratched top....

You should also mail your items in a padded mailer to prevent damage.

Remember you can always send extras...

A rating of 4.5 is required with no recent 1s and newbies welcome. If you have excessive 3s I will remove you

Looks like fun! I was just the other day of hosting one like this, but I'm not sure if I have enough for a swap this size. I will watch for now and take a look...

Also, you may want to edit your description... "Send extras for hearts..." should probably be changed or removed. On the Create a Swao page it says "IMPORTANT: A swap coordinator can help their users determine how to rate a swap accurately, but they should not make specific rules about when to give a heart." Sorry to be picky, I just wanted to point it out as it can lead to problems. :)

How many are we supposed to send? "A mixture" can be any amount really.

Oops I musta deleted that when I was editing it before I posted.... it is a minimum of 50 brads with the exception of minis... 4 minis equal 1 large

Since these are light weight I have opened it up for international... this should cost very little in shipping....

yeah! love it! I'm in

I'm new, and I'm in too :-)

Maybe you should add to the description that the brads should be different and not all the same? something like "No more than X the same"

Can we identify what "mini" is? I usually use the smaller size brad but I do not think they are "mini" but I am not sure because there is no size to determine what you count as mini. Do you think you can qualify this with what inch sizes count as one?

Meitalt: That's a good idea. I put my package together last night and I added some that are the same but in a diff. color. But, I still didn't add more than a few of the same.

Zurdoswifey: :( International, I'm going to stay in but bummed for me. But, happy for others. :)

I just want to follow up about what mini is. I use 3mm/4mm mostly. I have some fun shapes and designs that I want to send but the other half would be this size. There is no way for me to send 4 per 1 cause that would deplete my own stash. I am am really excited to participate and have already put aside 55 brads but I am just waiting to here what your thoughts are with this.

zurdoswifey 04/30/2010 #

Fayeray99 I consider mini to be the 3mm ones as they are listed on the packages I buy as mini brads so to make it fair for everyone I asked that there be 4 pp since some like myself would be mailing mostly bigger and or shaped ones... so I dont want anyone getting a bad rating because someone is displeased that they mailed 50 shaped brads and only got 50 minis back...

zurdoswifey 04/30/2010 #

I would say if they are bigger than 3 mm like you said you have 4 mm ones then the 4 mm would count as one...

j3ss1ca 04/30/2010 #

I was sending a mixture of mini and regular ones. I wouldn't mind getting a mixture myself.
