Description:

This swap is for participants in the U.S. and Canada only

I love to make homemade bath and beauty items, do you like to receive them?

For this swap you will have 3 partners and you will send each partner 1 item. This will mean that you need to make three items. Don't make any of these items? Then go purchase 3 handmade items. You can find a TON of handmade soaps, lotions, lipbalms, bodysprays/perfumes, linensprays, laundry detergent and bathsalts on Etsy and other places. This also gives you a chance to support people who make handmade items! BUY HANDMADE!

I am giving 2 weeks from the swap sign-up deadline to the swap send out deadline to gather your items. This will give you two weeks to order your goods and receive them in time to ship them to your partners, or to have them sent directly from your seller to your partner. Make sure you include a note letting your partner know who you are!

If you are making soap, make sure it is a full size bar Or a bag full of guest soaps. If you are sending laundry detergent make sure each bag contains enough for a couple loads. If you are sending lotion make sure it is at least a purse size bottle. For lipbalms, one container or tube is sufficient. If you are sending bodysprays or linensprays make sure it is at least a purse size bottle. If you will be sending Bathsalts make sure it is enough for 1-2 baths. Don't be cheap, spoil your partners!

MAKE SURE---to include the information below on your profile AND here---or at least on one of the two. Also consider listing items you collect, IE. Angels, Bats, Roses, etc. For soaps this will help your partner with molds. Making sure you include all of this information on your profile and here will help your partners pick out the perfect items for you!!!

Favorite Scents

Favorite Colors

Allergies--Sensitive Skin or not.

Scents you Dislike

Colors you Dislike

Don't want or can't use soaps, lotions, bodysprays, linensprays, bathsalts, laundry detergent, or lipbalms? MAKE SURE you state that!

ALL ITEMS must be brand new and never used, obviously. If you are purchasing them and your partner has an allergy, make sure to contact your seller to find out about their product before purchasing that item.

Shipping should be sent via First Class shipping. This ensures a quicker arrival time and is fairly inexpensive. If the item must go Priority you may opt for Parcel Post for a cheaper rate, just understand that often times Parcel Post takes awhile.

Send extra items for extra hearts!

I am a newbie here myself and everyone has got to start somewhere so Newbies are allowed to join this swap IF you have a completed profile and you contact/message me first. No ratings of less than 5 will be allowed either. If you have any recent no sends please do not bother joining, I want everyone to receive wonderful swaps!!! I will angel this swap :) If you join and find out a week later that you cannot do it, make sure to drop it!!! I will use my own discretion and ban anyone I see fit before partners are passed out!

Happy Swapping!

Any questions? Ask here or message me!

My favorite scents are listed on my profile, easier to read them there :)

Please no vanilla, musky, dragons blood, or old lady type perfume scents.

K-mart has packets of foot scrubs/soaks, facial scrubs/masks and leg balm that were originally $1.49-$1.79 marked down to .13 to .40 The brand name is Spa Recipes. Check your local K-mart to see if you can find these AWESOME deals! They also carry novelty flavored chapstick and lipbalms for .99 to $1.99.

Mommie--I was kind of hoping for sending out handmade products, whether you make them or purchase them from someone who has handmade them. However, if purchasing from a store is all that you can do, it will be ok :) Just try to buy handmade if you can afford to :)

Zia 11/12/2007 #

Favorite Scents: Fruity, foody, resinous/woody. Essential oils MUCH preferred.

Favorite Colors: jewel tones

Allergies--Sensitive Skin. Nothing with mineral oil, petrolatum, or animal fat (lanolin, emu oil) please. Beeswax/Honey are fine :)

Scents you Dislike: florals, very strong scents.

Colors you Dislike: Uhm. Muddy colors?

Sorry I have to drop out of the swap. I'm suddenly going out of town, and I'm worried that I won't have time to make my stuff in time. Have a great time swapping, everyone!

agonysdecay 11/18/2007 #

Aww, Fluxions!! I'm sorry to see you go. Perhaps next time!

mommie2angels 11/20/2007 #

Would love anything lavender, vanilla, or peppermint

mommie2angels 11/20/2007 #

My post about Kmart deals wasn't for this swap necessary but for the swap participants to buy for themselves or to buy a ton to shower their partner with nice things.

agonysdecay 11/21/2007 #

Mommie, thanks for the info then :)
