This is an I need to get started QUICK swap. This swap is meant for newbies! However anyone can join. No ratings required. If you have never swapped before, or you flaked before here is your chance to make it up. Anyone is welcome, if you love quick, easy swaps!!

Take a #10 envelope (the size bills come in) and place at least 1 item inside and mail it to your partner on TIME!

Suggestions for contents...

•a sticker, but not a tiny one, (minium size a quarter)

•note card and envelope, blank

•recipe card with recipe on it

•Postcard, write on or leave blank

•business card of your shop/site, NO ADULT themes!

•playing card

•Bookmark

•ATC (Artist trading card)

•blank ATC

•card stock or scrapbook paper, not bent or ripped

•even a post it with a note on it is considered 1 item:)

•senders choice, (no food due to allergies)

Ratings... This is NOT a profile based swap, you may not like the item, but please follow the rating guidelines. Rate a 5 if your swap is on time and there is 1 or more items inside. Rate 3 if there is NOTHING but air inside or is late, and 1 if it doesn't arrive. Please check with the sender or the coordinator on sent status before you assume they flaked and rate them poorly. The PO can lose items. Give the your partner the benefit of the doubt. This is a newbie swap and many are just learning!

You may give a heart, if you like. I give hearts for people taking time to read my profile and send items I listed that I like! But you can't please everyone. Please rate the person ASAP once you receive your swap...this is meant to improve their ratings! If you don’t plan on rating once your have received your item, you will maybe be late or flake, don’t join!!

USA only...you just need a single postage stamp to ship!

FYI...If you send something that is dirty, ripped or has hair on it, you can’t expect people to be happy. If you want to improve your ratings, think of what others might think when they open it:)) Just a helpful tip to newbies and those struggling to get started:)) Happy swapping!

What an easy, simple, but fun swap. However, maybe in a future version of this swap we could be assigned more than just 1 partner, so we can see a variety of what people thought to send.

Hope I can join. Lately I can ad a swap to my watch list but it keeps giving me an error when I try to actually join a swap. Go figure. :(

MisfitScrapper 05/21/2010 #

Hey crafty, I thought for a simple first newbie swap, 1 partner is good to start with. However, I usually do more that one swap at a time and they often do have more than one partner. Hope you get your link to join working....Have a great day:)

Can we use a bigger envelope?

Supergirl43837 05/21/2010 #

I want to join! What a great swap! :]

MisfitScrapper 05/21/2010 #

Sunshine...Yes, you can use a bigger envelope. It lists a specifc size so you know about how much stuff should be included:)) But don't go buy #10 bill envelopes if you have another one that would work just the same:))

MisfitScrapper 05/21/2010 #

Supergirl...cute profile name! Sure thing...we'd love to have you:)

Thanks for helping us newbies establish. I'm in love with the international swaps. So interesting!

MisfitScrapper 05/21/2010 #

It's my pleasure...I was a newbie not too long ago and it was hard to find swaps for newbies with no ratings yet!! I wanted to help em out! Plus I need local swaps due to little shipping $$ :))

Sounds like a fun swap to get me back into swapping after taking a year off :)

MisfitScrapper 05/22/2010 #

Glad to have you...aglanceatmyworld:))

malcom1992 05/23/2010 #

So, if I want to put more than 1 thing in the envelope but a #10 does not work, what do I do then?

MisfitScrapper 05/23/2010 #

Malcom1992, Hello..you can use a larger envelope if you like. The #10 is a size suggestion, but you can use any size that you need to. I list a specific size so everyone knows approx how much stuff to include in swaps. Good luck, if you have anymore questions, please let me know:))

MisfitScrapper 05/23/2010 #

FYI ....Reminder for newbies! Always remember to write the swap name and your swapbot ID...somewhere on your swap!! Your partner can't rate you if they can't see who sent it! Also many people who swap, do several at once...label each and every swap you do!!

Supergirl43837 06/ 2/2010 #

can the person who sent to me please send me a message so I can give you your rating. I am having a hard time finding your profile because your email & username were not included in the envie.
