Number of swap partners:1
Description:

This should be a pretty neat swap, as it will allow the receiver to get a bunch of "new" items from the senders' "old" stash. ;oP

Here is what you do: Take a flat rate envelope and stuff it as full as you can with bits and pieces from your stash. Items do not have to be new, but they have to be CLEAN and in good condition. They must be "usable." In other words, no teeny tiny scraps that are just "junk."

Ideas on what to fill your envelope with:

Pretty Background Papers

Wallpaper Samples

Sticky Paper

Labels

Beads

Buttons

Brads

Ribbons

Lace

Stationery

Note Cards

Envelopes

Note Papers

Photos

Postcards

Fabric Flowers

Confetti

Die Cuts

Stickers

Ephemera

Etc.

NOTE

When sending small items such as beads, buttons, brads, confetti, etc. you should enclose them in little baggies to keep them from spilling out all over when your partner opens their package. :)

This swap is only open to people with ratings of 4.5 and higher.

Could you please explain what a "flat rate" envelope is?

Is it the standard white envelope that a 41 cent stamp goes on, or is there some other envelope you're referring to?

I wish I could sign up for this one, but I am a newbie. I have a craft stash coming out of my ears! I need my dining room back and can't get to it through my craft supplies.

sindylee ~ Well, the sign-up date is a ways off yet. Maybe you'll have some ratings by then and can sign up after all! :)

I'd love to join if this swap was open to international swappers. :(

AndreaSmondria 09/25/2007 #

i totally would love to see an international version of this swap

fluxions 10/ 8/2007 #

I'm excited about this swap! I am also willing to be an angel for this swap if someone ends up empty handed (although no one should be!).

snarglebean 10/ 8/2007 #

I LOVE to swap stashes (or rather, samples of stashes)! Yay! It'll be like Christmas for me! :)

craftygirl 10/22/2007 #

Is this only for craft items basically or can we send other things as well?

cat 10/27/2007 #

I had the same question, Craftygirl...

CelestialFreak 11/ 1/2007 #

I really wish I could stay in this swap, but I need to cut back because I've got too many things on my plate right now. If you make this swap again please be sure to PM or comment me to let me know. Sorry for the drop, it's a great swap, I just can't be in so many right now.

4getmenot71 11/ 9/2007 #

Sorry for my delay in replying to some of you here. I was away on vacation for 3 weeks. Now to answer your questions:

keymistress & AndreaSmondria ~ Unfortunately, the international flatrate service has changed and is also quite a bit more expensive to send than within the USA. I totally would LOVE to make this swap international, as I adore receiving such different things, but sadly, with Christmas and holidays rapidly approaching, I think the expense would be too much for some of us. :( If you would like to make an international swap using this idea, please feel free to do so! :)

fluxions ~ That is SO sweet of you to offer to angel! Hopefully, that won't be necessary, though! I am glad you are excited... so am I! :)

snarglebean ~ I know EXACTLY what you mean! ;oP I am like a kid in a candy store with this type of thing! Hehehe. :D

craftygirl & cat ~ You can send anything that will fit and that your partner might like, however, the majority should be crafty-type stuff, and paper goods. :)

CelestialFreak ~ I totally understand, and if this swap goes well, I may do another one in the near future! :)

What you think about doing is hosting a swap of ATCs created with this stash.

KerrWriter 11/11/2007 #

Let me know if you do another of these. Too hectic right now to sign up for this one but would love to play.

Aimeejanie 11/11/2007 #

I already have my envelope ready and about bursting at the seams!! This will be great fun!!

denissetx 11/13/2007 #

Can't wait to see my partner.....went and got my envelope today and am ready!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prpldy 11/15/2007 #

My envelope is stuffed to the brim.....just hope it's not too fat for the post office.

Skyfire 11/15/2007 #

Danielle, Your package is packed and ready to go tomorrow! I hope you enjoy!!

twobluecrows 11/17/2007 #

I went through all my storage drawers, boxes, bags and shelves and took a little something from every place--what a variety of things I have! I'm always surprised to find things I forgot I even had when I do these stash swaps! It's a good thing, too--saves me from going out and shopping for more! While digging through today, I found enough stuff for three other swap projects at the same time! I'm getting ahead of my own game! LOL brokenfaedoll, thanks for hosting this swap!

SWAN - Your package went out in the mail today! ~ Dee

My package went out today to imneverbored. Unfortunately, I was unable to use a flat rate envelope...it wouldn't hold everything. So...I used a USPS Shoe Box. I also found stuff for other swaps while I was "gathering" from my stash. I sent some of my very favorite things. I need to do more of these so I can reduce my overflow. I am completely out of room, but this was a good start. Ping me if there is another one!

MicheleoneL 12/11/2007 #

Bummer, I've still not received...

MicheleoneL 12/11/2007 #

but I'm excited and patiently waiting :)

Coffeelatte 12/11/2007 #

MicheleoneL - The final SEND BY date is the 13th, so you do need to be patient.

Dawneca 12/14/2007 #

Hope my package to WeeBees arrived all right. The envelope was over stuffed, and the post office took it but said "no tape" next time. . .

Coffeelatte 12/15/2007 #

KD - I just messaged you on your package...
