Description:

One of my first Swap-bot trades was for ATC ephemera. Wow! I received some awesome pictures, papers and trinkets that have inspired me to be more creative in the past two months.

For this swap, you'll have two partners. For each you will fill a large zip-lock plastic bag with ephemera. These bags are sometimes called "gallon size" -- they are usually 10 9/16x11 inch or 26.8x27.9 cm.

Ephemera can be all sorts of interesting scraps. You don't need to send paper only -- interesting beads, sequins & other embellishments are always wonderful to find in a package!

While we'd love to get all true vintage items, some reproductions or new items are OK. Do you have interesting candy wrappers or tea bag tags? How about old ticket stubs? Pages from children's books & dictionaries, found photos, pieces from maps, dominos or bits from board games, parts from old jewelry? Scrapbook papers, old advertising, photographs, yarn, ribbon & small items like keys & charms can be included. Please don't send copies that you've run off on a photocopier or printed yourself. We're looking for found or salvaged items.

--You must FILL OUT your Swap-bot profile to join this swap. I will notify you once asking you to complete it, and if not completed I have the option to drop you from the trade.

--This is an INTERNATIONAL swap. You must be willing to pay for shipping if assigned a partner outside your home country!

--Rating of at least 4 to join. I'll allow new swappers without a rating to participate but please be sure you are willing to follow through to make this a quality swap!

--Think about what you'd enjoy receiving and what makes for interesting art. If you are not going to send, please don't sign up. One person's junk is another's treasure -- but don't send trash...

SueB, I'm guessing my wonderful package was from you! Thank you soooo much-great stuff!

prettylily 01/24/2007 #

FarStarr, Yes that was me. Glad you liked it. My other partner was Katelyn. I just realized that I didn't label either envelope as to which swap this was. Sorry! I was in a bit rush because I getting ready for a trip. A little puzzle is good, now and then? Good for the brain.

Keisha,

Thanks for the wonderful envelope lots of goodies to play with!

prettylily 02/ 3/2007 #

Jeannine, A inspiring, delightful, assortment arrived today. I was out of town all week, so the PO was holding my mail. Anyway, I LOVE it! You were very generous. Thank you! I'm feeling a rush of ideas already.

Coffeelatte 02/ 9/2007 #

I just discovered that one of our swappers has dropped out of the trade by deleting their profile...so just FYI, I have sent email to the two of you scheduled to receive from that person, since I don't believe that they will come through. I'm putting together packets of ephemera to send to you, and will mail these next week. Just a heads-up!

Coffeelatte 02/ 9/2007 #

Papierdreams - Thanks again for the nice ephemera pack! I really loved those two cards I emailed you about, and there were some great stamps in there too! Thank you!

flubadub 02/10/2007 #

JP 02/12/2007 #

user5705 02/14/2007 #

Keisha...rec'd your package today! Thanks so much for all of ephemera goodness!

Coffeelatte 02/16/2007 #

Emails from me have gone to all people listed as "not sent" as of this evening (Feb 15)

Please be watching for your packages over the next 10 days. At that time you should be able to come back to this site and rate your partner. Before giving bad ratings I hope that you will contact your partner to check and see what is going on. Once things hit the postal service it's hard to control, especially out of country deliveries!

PS - I've sent out to the two of you who had the partner who disappeared. I hope you, and my regular partners, are happy with the packets you receive! Let me know when they arrive.

Coffeelatte 02/21/2007 #

You\'re now able to rate your partners. If you have not received yet, I encourage you to first contact your partner to confirm when the package went out. Remember, if it is coming from outside your home country it can take longer than 10 days to get there.

We still have three \"not sents\", and I sent a second message directly to them this morning asking for an update. In the event we don\'t hear from them by the 28th I will put together and send packages for those of you who were scheduled to receive from anyone who has gone missing...

prettylily 02/21/2007 #

Let\'s do this agian soon!

Coffeelatte 02/24/2007 #

I got a message today from Connie and have sent her partners Karis and Sandra messages on the status of those packages coming to them.

Coffeelatte 02/24/2007 #

PS - Still have not heard anything from Terry or Cristina in regard to their \"not sent\" status.

JP 02/24/2007 #

Thank you to both of my partners in this swap! Coffeelatte and Eliza -- the goodies you sent were great!

Hugs! Juli

user5437 02/24/2007 #

Hello Jeanine and also Sue,

There are second packets on the way to you. Let me just say that ALL my outgoing mail will now be sent from the Post Office proper and not placed in the roadside box. What fun sleuthing.....

Sorry for the delay, thanks for your understanding, Camilla [email protected]

Coffeelatte 02/26/2007 #

Got a message from Terry today - she's had a household disaster and is delayed in sending. If you have Terry as a partner, she should be sending soon, and I will also be sending you a packet this week.

user5623 03/ 3/2007 #

Coffeelatte 03/ 5/2007 #

Thanks for the update Cristina!

dulcimer 03/12/2007 #

i received a package from Ling min today it says More Ephemera-International but she isnt listed as my swap partner. Juli was one and the other the profile has been deleted. Any ideas??

ae4me 03/19/2007 #

Karis and Sandra Hello, Hello, I wanted to let you know finally your stuffed baggies are to be posted Tues. March 20th. Sandra it will be sent global priority...bad enough it is late. Hope both of you feel it is/was worth the wait. Connie p.s. they were ready for the mail today but Mondays I'm in chemo as long as it takes and didn't get done earlie enough.

Coffeelatte 03/22/2007 #

Dragonfly - I think Lin Ming was the partner who dropped out and deleted her profile. Are you sure the package wasn't the one that I sent to you? I think it would have said Coffeelatte on the outside and the inside...I may have also listed the partner I sent for because there were several I sent out when there were no sends or late sends...
