Description:

There seems to be a love of all things Mexican!

Instead of focusing on Dia de los Meurtos, Frida or Sugar Skulls, we will do ALL THINGS MEXICAN! (but including the above as well if you'd like!)

Think, mariachis, pinatas, fabric swatches, colorful flowers, foods, treats n' sweets, Spanish quotes or words, poems, vintage photos, milagros, tiny recipes, embroidered/glitterded or sequined goods, serapes, chiclets, jewelry, loteria, religious artifacts (as long as your partner is cool with that), culturally related child toys, etc.

Be colorful! Be creative and unique!

I'm sure the ideas are endless! So pack this baby full of AMOR!


Jar: Glass or Plastic. Size should be at least 4 inches high. Bigger is fine! Use your judgement, just not the small baby food jars!

Decorate the jar!

Package your jar with protective bubble wrap if necessary! Include Delivery Confirmation for your own sanity!

You can start now so that you can send by due date! Feel free to send extra goodies that are Mexican Themed if you so choose!


U.S. Only! (1) partner.

Ratings of 4.7+

No, no sends within 3 months of assignment of partners.

Must have at least 5 swaps rated. Edit Or you can PM me with your plea!

Please PM me with questions or concerns!

OMG! This is awesum! Why didn't I think of this one! I love Mexican art and culture due to my childhood in the Southwest and this one just sounds awesum! Mucho Gracias! I can't wait!

funkyluke 07/ 9/2008 #

azrosieposie 07/ 9/2008 #

Cupcake: you are too funny!

TeaNi 07/ 9/2008 #

azrosieposie- you keep hosting all these fly swaps, impossible for me to resist! ;)

oh, and thank you so much for making it US only, overseas shipping has been killing me lately!

azrosieposie 07/ 9/2008 #

No prob TeaNi! I love hosting truly artistic, creative swaps! And Mexican stuff is my passion! I'm so glad you joined! Thanks!

cupcakechica 07/10/2008 #

coolness. glad i didn't offend anybody! ;)

ditamirez 07/11/2008 #

Opened up a drawer last night and to my surprise found all kinds of trikets for this jar!! My thoughts on the jar size is to keep it the 4 in. cuz that's where the challenge lies. Finding or making great little treasures that fit in a smaller jar.
And of course thats just my opinion. If someone used something bigger for this Mexican swap and sent me, say........Mario Lopez....... i wouldn't complain!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

azrosieposie 07/11/2008 #

ditamirez....YOU ARE A DORK! (((Ladies...I can say that .....she's my HERMANA!))) LOLOL!

azrosieposie 07/11/2008 #

If someone used a bigger jar and sent me...say....

Jay Hernandez from "Crazy Beautiful"...I would not complain! LOL

(hey....this is fun...teehee)

cupcakechica 07/11/2008 #

oh my gosh...lets see...if someone sent me a bigger jar and sent me...uhh....

How bout......... Esai Morales! I've always had a crush on him. (although i don't think age has treated him well. gonna google him right now.)

ditamirez 07/11/2008 #

azrosieposie 07/11/2008 #

@azrosieposie glad i can make you chuckle! @ditamirez mmmmm RICKY!!!!! i've had a crush on that boy since he was a newbie in Menudo! that's right! i have the 12 inch LP and posters to prove it!!! jeje

umm. what's a 7 gypsies ATC spinner? splain lucy.

ditamirez 07/17/2008 #

http://artsandscraps.blogspot.com/2008/02/7-gypsies-atc-collection.html

try this link. It's like a rolodex, but old fashiioned looking. it's silver, and they sell the blank cards that fit on it perfectly. Also deco acetate, and cards with print. AND...little vinyl sleeves. I have been putting my ATC's i receive here in the sleeves and putting them in the spinner. It's really cool. I want to host a swap using these cards instead of regular ATC ones. They were hard to find when they first came out, but now i think many stores carry them. i think.

ditamirez 07/17/2008 #

We saw Ricky in concert in 1999. He is awesome! I love to watch him perform! I think he opened the latin grammy's this year. If my brain serves me.

TeaNi 07/17/2008 #

I saw Ricky in concert, too! I think it may have been '99 in fact. I've been to many concerts, and in terms of the stage show, I can honestly say his was one of the best ever.

I remember the night I saw Ricky for several reasons, one being it was the first time I ever took a sip of Guiness beer. And the last:P

ditamirez 07/18/2008 #

ooohh! I love Guiness! But would never drink a whole one. just sips of my husbands. And i remember the Ricky Martin concert cuz i believe my second baby was just a few weeks old and i had to take a pump to the concert! LOL!!!!!!!!

azrosieposie 07/19/2008 #

OK, chicas! SWAP PARTNERS ASSIGNED! Let's see some kick-butt Mexi-jars!!!!

I'm so excited! Have fun!

LET'S FIESTA!

cupcakechica 07/19/2008 #

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!! adelante!!!!!

SacredYoli 07/19/2008 #

yay, let the games begin.

Oh, but I think a hunk in a jar would be a great swap. (Kinda like those fairy in a jar swaps) but only better! Is LL. Cool J. latino? haha, just keeding. but I'll take him in a jar, room, car, anywhere!

Salute,

Yoli

cupcakechica 07/23/2008 #

lol yoli!!! too funny. heck they don't have to be latino as long as they're hunks!!! umm in that case, i have a whole list of hunks to put in a jar! lol girl you and your LL :)

azrosieposie 07/23/2008 #

I have a feeling that this jar may be filled with lots of testosterone. LOLOLOL! Perhaps from too much "Ta-Kill-Ya" on this swap. LOLOL!

cupcakechica 07/24/2008 #

LMAO! @ "Ta-Kill-Ya" you're too funny rosie!!!!

azrosieposie 07/27/2008 #
