Description:

For this package swap, you will post five themes or packages that you will OFFER to your partner. When partners are assigned, check to see who you receive from, then come back here to the swap page to see the items that person is offering. You pick which one of the five offered items you'd like to receive and send a PM to the person you're receiving letting her/him know which themed package you want.

The twist: Since we're all writers here, two of the five themed offerings should be related to writing or creativity.

Each themed package should be a complete one that has value. Example, a theme of writing instruments could have a package of mechanical or colored pencils, a good ink or fountain pen and some markers. A single pencil would NOT constitute a complete package.

The themes can be open-ended, specific or a mix. It will depend on what you have to offer. They can be item specific or themes that simply offer a hint to what the package may contain.

Here are examples of the two types:

Someone posts that she offers:

  • writing instruments

  • gently used writing magazines

  • a copy of "On Writing" by Stephen King

  • a mini tote bag filled with scrapbooking supplies

  • a profile surprise

(OR)

another writer might post via theme:

  • A package for a writer's play date

  • Signed, sealed and delivered

  • First you have to learn the rules

  • Things that make you go, hmm

  • Trying out for Jeopardy!

Everyone understand the rules? If not, post your questions below or shoot me a PM.

Ready to play? Post your five theme/package offerings below!

Everyone's themes are so interesting! I can hardly wait to find out who my partner is, and go through the torture of having to choose just ONE theme. Haha.

Artistic 02/15/2013 #

Partners have been assigned and I agree with LovelyLici. We have some great themes!!
