Last day to signup/drop:May 31, 2010
Date items must be sent by:June 18, 2010
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

We buy so much stuff nowaday and sooner or later most of the packaging ends up in a trash.

Lets recycle a part of it into cool craft supplies for our swap partners and learn a little about what stuff other people around the world are buying!

You will have 3 partners and to each of them you will send one envelope (minimum size is business sized envelope - at least 12 cm * 23 cm, maximum is completely up to you :-D ) of interesting pieces of packaging. For example: cool pictures, logos, interesting patterned or coloured areas, interesting bottle caps, etc.. Please do not send the boring very hardly usable packaging pieces which would be most probably thrown into trash by your partner anyway (its not worth the postage).

One month for the signup and preparing. Over two weeks for finishing the preparation and sending.

You must have at least 5 rated swaps and at least 4.7 rating to join. I will check participants profiles after signup deadline and ban anyone suspicious.

If you have any preferences/dislikes please list them in coment section (for example if you like only absolutly clean things or a little damage or spots from water is ok and such).

If you would not have absolutly any other use for it then its fine also ;-)

I'm very excited about this swap. We have laws in Australia re packaging (ie, ratios of product:packaging) but even so, I am forever throwing packaging away. My rubbish bin is full of it, and I don't even shop as much as most people! My only request is for clean things with no stains or water damage. A few rips/tears or creases don't bother me. :)

"I don't even shop as much as many people" I should probably say. :P
