Description:

The idea of this swap is to list past swaps that you didn't recieve anything. Your partner will then pick one of them to make it up to you. If you did get things from all of your swaps then maybe there is one that something broke in transit or it didn't meet the requirments or so on.

I know there are times when we have had takers and thought how sad it was because we spent money and time on the items we sent out... now is the time to make up for it!

Please be fair when picking from your partners list. Don't pick only the CD swaps or send just a few sheets of paper. This is to prove that there are good swappers out there!! Price of this swap should be no less than 10 dollars (USD) before shipping.

International swap! MUST have a 5 rating to sign up. If lower than a 5 please contact me first (I understand if you have a couple of 3's because of shipping reasons or whatever).

If there are any questions please let me know and I will return a answer as soon as I can. Thanks!

EDITED: I will be doing the bans the day of closing so please make sure that you contact me if you need to and list your swaps below. THANK YOU :)

Too many swaps I haven't received a thing, and usually the ones I am most excited about: 1. Themed package 2. Foreign language swap ( items that have a foreign language on them) 3. Our Town ( stuff from and about where you live_ 4. Decorated light switch plate 5. Show me your heart (any handmade thing with a heart theme that represents what's in your heart) 6. and 7. 2 sock swaps -one for a pair of funky, fun, or silly socks; another for 1 pr nice socks and another pr of cheap but cute socks.

I would be thrilled with any of these!

Wow i signed up for a couple of swaps and i'm new to this so now i am a little worried about participating at all. Sorry that you have been burned so many times.

mazzam 10/19/2006 #

What a great idea! there are only a couple I got missed on but it is disappointing and it's so good to have a second chance. Do you mean us to list our misses here in the discussion?

fairykiss 10/19/2006 #

mazzam, I'm glad you get that second chance! And yes if everyone could list the swaps they didn't get anything as well as details of what the idea behind it was that would be great.
I'm going to wait closer to time to list because some of them might still be in transit.

Triners 10/19/2006 #

You can go to the 'view swap details' pages and put a link to the swap description for the one you missed out on (since other people can't see expired swaps, but they're still in your 'my swaps' list).

For example... here is a link to A Chopsticks Swap I did last summer http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/422

I don't know yet If I'lll participate in this swap. I have recieved all my swaps and I feel lucky, I would mostly want to share the love with someone not so lucky. Great idea, I'll think on it!

user718 10/20/2006 #

there many swaps that i have not received anything thanks

katiewoo 10/22/2006 #

hello! This is a great idea! I am very new to the swap game but i joined because i was sooo excited about the red and aqua swap (basically anything red and aqua; crafts, ribbons, buttons, sweets, fabric....). I ran around collecting luscious stuff and my partner loved all the goodies! However, my sender never sent! Blah! So, I'm still desperately seeking red and aqua!

user2195 10/23/2006 #

-Blue Yarn -Random -Jewellry swap -Favorite yarn -Blue and Pink

These are some of the swaps that I never recieved anything for :(

KarlaKC 10/25/2006 #

What a wonderful idea! I was jilted in the "Handmade Envelope Swap". I had such fun making envelopes out of interesting and colorful magazine pages and card stock, too. I made them in various sizes. Oh, and the requirement was for 15 any size, style and color, just hopefully not all the same. I had a lot of fun, like I said, but was disappointed when I never received. :(

The URL was: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/620

I hope someone will enjoy making these... :)

Cassandra 10/26/2006 #

there are 5 swaps that I have not received but I will list only 3 because the other 2 were Halloween related and Halloween will be over by the time we receive our partner's info.

purplewhimsy 10/27/2006 #

Like others, I have missed receiving for many swaps, but these two are the ones I will list for this swap. Pick either one.

Hot Chocolate & a Book swap http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/682 what better way to fill those long cold wintery nights than with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate. you will swap a mug, 2 packages of prepackaged hot chocolate any variety, and a good book.

Spiritual swap http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/553 Send your partner something from your religion or something that stands for your spiritual thinking. Put some time and thought into this. (For this one, I made a little scrapbook filled with an article, different ways I connect spiritually, and a few items for crafting since art, music, & creativity is a huge part of my spirituality. I also sent a CD with meditative music and a handcrafted yarmulka I made in rainbow colors)

lilmissthrifty 11/ 1/2006 #

OK... This is a really great idea... Thus far, I feel like I have been pretty lucky and enjoyed and received most of my swaps... BUT, there have been 5 that I never got anything from: 1. Plant cuttings (send a few cuttings from a loved plant) 2. Letter swap #1 (write and send a sweet letter) 3. Rock Goddess Swap (Make a CD filled with girly, punk, rock or whatever female artists you love) 4. Stationary swap... (send atleast 10 different sheets) 5. A-Z CD swap( Basically, make a playlist in alphabetical order... either the artist or song include whole alphabet)

I think that's it... I'm easy to please...email me any questions... Feel free to improvise and include anything that might brighten my day!!!

lilmissthrifty 11/ 1/2006 #

WOOPS!!!! Make that 5 swaps... Sorry!! I did not receive: Christmas cards (basically send 10 extra cards!!!)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!

fairykiss 11/ 2/2006 #

Ok, swaps that I would like to "re-do" or didn't get anything... mass music swap (I would be happy with just a cd or 2 of random music), pink swap (everything pink value around 10 dollars), candy swap (about 10-15 dollars), atc supplies (one baggie full), funky sock swap (one pair of funky socks).

lilmissthrifty 11/ 3/2006 #

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got the christmas cards today!!! no need to send that swap!!!! Thanks!

fairykiss 11/13/2006 #

I just got my package from sissie. Not only did it smell amazing, but the stuff in it was just as fantastic!! Thank you very much. I hope to have pictures up on my blog by the end of tomorrow.

Cassandra 11/25/2006 #

sewnsew: I believe the package I received today was from you. Red cabled bag, button bracelet, buttons, yarn, needles, stitch markers.... Was this the "wish swap #2" that you sent me?

katiewoo 11/25/2006 #

Hello Sissie, Yes! It was from me! I must have got so carried awya with the swap that I neglected to add my name! I do so hope you like it - I wanted to make up for the missing swaps and send you a smile from England! Wasn't the red cabled bag just the business? I almost kept it! Enjoy your stuff and cheers to more swaps! (By the way I haven't received mine yet whoever you are.....). Kate from Brighton England x

Cassandra 11/26/2006 #

hi sewnsew: I am glad you decided not to keep the red bag. It's just a great looking bag. Well here's to hoping you get your package.

fairykiss 11/28/2006 #

Jen, I sent your package out awhile ago.... it should be there sometime this week (I hope). If you could let me know when you get it that would be great. Thanks!!

katiewoo 11/30/2006 #

Morgan, thanks again for such a great swap. It restores your faith in human nature! Hope you got some fab stuff too. Love Kate

user2195 11/30/2006 #

Nothing yet....I cant wait to get it!:) Can you tell me how you sent it so I know approx when to get it! Thanks

fairykiss 11/30/2006 #

It was sent usps a few days before deadline (I believe it was that monday). It should have been there by now because they told me 4-7 days. If it doesn't show up by the middle of next week please let me know and I will figure something else out. Thanks.

user2195 12/ 2/2006 #

Nothing so far

fairykiss 12/ 5/2006 #

Jen, I will resend something if it doesn't show up by the end of the week. I'm really sorry about that. I also know that postal services are really slow right now, I just got a package after it was sent airmail after a whole month, if by chance it does show up then look at the second one as an early Christmas gift :)

user2195 12/11/2006 #

I will let you know as soon as I recieve either of them

user2195 12/18/2006 #

Nothing yet....Do you have a tracking number its been over a month
