(6/26/10 - I changed the name because it sounded like we were swapping used stuff.)

One person's trash is another person's treasure...

This is sort of a de-stash swap with a twist! I'm sure we have all received things in other swaps that we're unable to use; maybe its just not your style. Or maybe you bought something but never used it? Or if any of you are like me, you have more than 1 (or 3) of everything! Here's your chance to pass on some items that you won't use but don't want to throw out or just send to someone else who might not want them either...

List at least 4-5 items/categories (or as many as you want) in the comments section of what you want to get rid of. When partners are assigned, PM your partner and tell them which 2 things you'd like to receive from their de-stash list. Each item or "set" listed should be worth at least $5 originally. Remember, you are not spending money for this swap, except for postage. These are things you already have, in new & good condition, and should be unused.

For example, if you have a ton of collage supplies and have moved on to some other craft, maybe you want to get rid of a bunch of random paper pieces (not torn up), some paper adhesive & card stock. Or if you bought too many card-making supplies last x-mas, you can list a "Christmas Card-Making Set". Maybe you just have way too much chipboard that you'll never use, or postcards from your last trip. It can be ANY items you think someone else will be able to use, worth at least $5. You'll be sending 2 "sets" to your partner.

  • If you come across other items you want to pass on or think of something else, post a new list in the comments section & I'll delete your first. I'm hoping we can all get a few things we've been wanting, and not have to buy it ourselves!

Usual swap rules apply. No 1's, 3's or no-sends in the last 2 months. I can angel if necessary, after enough time has passed. PM me with any questions.
