Description:

Do you like to make lists? Look at lists? Check off things from your lists?

This is a fun and simple swap. Here's a chance to share a bit about yourself and your passions/interests AND learn a bit about someone else in the world.

Here's how this swap will work...choose one topic and make a list giving ten reasons why you like/love the topic you chose. You can either: send the same list to each partner or send one list to one partner and a different list to the other partner. It's all up to you.

The lists can be handwritten or typed. They can be put on stationary or postcards. The choice is yours.

Some example topics are: my dog/cat/bird/pet, the color red/purple/black/grey/etc., my husband/wife/significant other, my daughter/son/cousin/niece/etc., Hello Kitty, swapping, Paris, eating french fries, drinking coffee, cleaning my house, the TV show "(blank)", the movie "(blank)", swimming, jogging, Madonna, etc.

You could also go to your profile for inspiration.

This swap is international. Newbies welcome, but must have completed profiles. Anyone with a score lower than 4 OR more than 2 "no sends" will be banned. I don't want any frowns in my swap. If you find this unfair, please send me a message. We'll chat.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the difference between the first and second things we're supposed to write...aren't they both "10 reasons I love (blank)"?

EmilyBemily 02/16/2007 #

Hi - I did a little editing to the message, hoping it made things clearer. If not, please let me know. :)

LINBUR0100 02/16/2007 #

Gotcha! I totally understand now. :-)

Thanks.

sienna 02/27/2007 #

If whoever gets me sees this...I'd love postcards if the list fits on it! If not, no big deal. It's a fun idea.

user6682 03/ 2/2007 #

this should be a good creativity exercise. I'm in!

user6682 03/ 2/2007 #

btw, i'd love postcards too.

marchingstars 03/ 3/2007 #

Sorry... I don't get the difference between the 2 lists... surely I've chosen my topic for the same reasons I love my topic?

EmilyBemily 03/ 3/2007 #

Thanks for your help, Butterfly Kisses. :)

butterflykisses 03/ 4/2007 #

You're welcome EmilyBemily!

user6740 03/ 4/2007 #

When you say newbies, do you mean people who have never participated in a swap before (like me)? If you just mean someone who had only once or twice been rated, then never mind >_<

EmilyBemily 03/ 5/2007 #

People who have never participated in a swap before are welcome to join this one. :)

user6740 03/ 5/2007 #

Oh good :) I'll join now...

figneutrons 03/ 6/2007 #

I would like postcards as well if possible!

lilylemon 03/ 6/2007 #

I'm already working on my lists to keep ahead of my swaps, so I won't be able to accommodate a request for a postcard. It is on a cute card, though!

CraftyDiana 03/ 9/2007 #

Just like Lily Lemon, my lists are all done and ready to go, and they're on cute greeting cards - hope that's ok.

P.S. Please check out my "Tiny Paper Squares" swap..it's the first time that I've ever hosted one so hopefully lots of people will sign up! :-) Diana

EmilyBemily 03/11/2007 #

Last day before we're paired, but I wanted to leave a comment to clarify that the decision to write the lists on stationary or postcards is the choice of the individual writing the lists. They will TRY to accomodate to those that have requested having their lists written on postcards, but please be prepared that it just might not happen and I appreciate you being flexible about it. If you receive a list in the mail and it's on time, then the sender has met requirements and deserves a big fat 5. Thanks. :)

Feel free to send me a message or leave a comment, if you have any questions.

PostMuse 03/11/2007 #

I am so excited to get my partners. I love lists. I do have one of the books Ms. Pants (I love that username!) wrote about, but I just made my list about one of my passions.

And I wonder if our host will peek at the names of the people who will send her their lists, or wait for the surprise ;-)

EmilyBemily 03/12/2007 #

PostMuse - your list is exactly what is required for this swap....writing a list about one of your passions. :)

PostMuse 03/12/2007 #

Weee! Lists on the way to Netherlands and Brazil. Hope they catch the fast plane.

lilylemon 03/12/2007 #

My lists are on the way to Detroit and to Keller, TX. Please let me know when they arrive.

pickle 03/14/2007 #

i thought i saw mentioned on this swap that there was a book of assorted swaps. was i just dreaming that? if not though...can that book title be reposted as i would be interested in browsing that book. my lists are in my head...just waiting for the moment to put pen to paper :) pickle

PostMuse 03/14/2007 #

The book title is List Your Self by Ilene Segalove. She has a few list books.

figneutrons 03/14/2007 #

butterflykisses 03/14/2007 #

lilylemon 03/16/2007 #

Hi, Artistic! Thanks for your list, the list-making goodies, and the butterflies. What a great swap partner! :) I still haven't received letters from either of my "I Love Books" partners, so thanks for talking books with me in this swap!

artgeek 03/17/2007 #

I sent two packages out yesterday to France and North Carolina. I did something a bit unexpected with my list, but hope you both appreciate it. :D

JP 03/19/2007 #

I received a great list from Susan (SZreader) about why she likes her library. :) Thanks Susan!! :)

Hugs! Juli

junemoon 03/19/2007 #

Victoria of Modesto -- are you the Mommy or the writer of the list? If you're the mommy you you're lucky to have a kid with so many good reasons to love you. If you're the kid, you're lucky to have such a nice mommy. A sweet list. June

lilylemon 03/19/2007 #

Scowlette and charlotte33 -- I would have thought my lists would have reached you both by now. Please let me know.

charolette33 03/19/2007 #

Lily Lemon, I got my list from you on Saturday. It was great because I was having a total cr*p weekend. I loved that your list was so thoughtful and in depth. It makes me want to send you some sugar or carrots. ;) Thanks! *v

lilylemon 03/20/2007 #

charolette33 -- Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed writing it! :)

user6852 03/20/2007 #

suzylucie 03/20/2007 #

JoJo Smiley, got your list today...my husband is a contractor specializing in remodeling...and yes remodeling can stink!

madpeoplejen 03/20/2007 #

lilylemon 03/20/2007 #

I've gotten both my lists : "I love lists" and "I love mad cow disease." Thanks, partners!

PostMuse 03/20/2007 #

"I love mad cow disease"? Oh my.... that sounds out of the ordinary :-)

EmilyBemily 03/21/2007 #

I love hearing about all the topics you're all choosing...very creative. Mad cow...interesting. I'd love to read that one. :)

EmilyBemily 03/21/2007 #

JWJW2 and artgeek: received your WONDERFUL lists today. Thank you!

JWJW2: your list about your husband was so touching. You are quite lucky.

artgeek: your book about books is gorgeous. Such a treasure. I love it.

JP 03/21/2007 #

My letters to Helen Conway and Aerochik went out this morning. :)

hugs! Juli

user6501 03/21/2007 #

Julie Faust and Pants! keep an eye on the mail box, I sent your letters out earlier in the week.

Cheers!

PostMuse 03/21/2007 #

Oh my goodness! I got a list from Helen in UK today, written on a postcard of Liverpool... a UNESCO World Heritage site. I collect World Heritage sites and this site is fairly new to the list so I didn't have anything yet. That alone makes me want to do cartwheels (and yes, I can still do them at 50, though not as prettily as I once did).

But, the list is about quilting and that thrills me all the more. My mom is a quilter and got started late in life with the art. I think it has given her a whole new look at the world and we are absolutely amazed at what a fabulous eye she has for color and design. Thank you so much Helen for the card, and the wonderful list that I will share with my mom.

user3876 03/21/2007 #

Woohoo! I've also sent mine out to Slaskowski1 & Triceramolly. Be on the lookout!

JWJW2 03/21/2007 #

EmilyBemily and mummybear, I sent your "list" out last week, so I hope you've received it. If not, it's on its way. :)

EspressoBrown 03/21/2007 #

sheriboberi -- I got your list... Thank you so much for sharing Sammy, and your heart. I've read it six times already and haven't stopped smiling since it arrived.

EspressoBrown 03/21/2007 #

heartsnyou and courtneyg -- your packages went out yesterday from Oregon. Hope you enjoy the contents. 80)

artgeek 03/21/2007 #

EmilyBemily, I'm so glad the book arrived, and you enjoy it. I felt some extra pressure, as this is only my 2nd swap and I was sending to the swap coordinator. ;) However, since I definitely put some creativity and heart into the creation, I'm glad it was well received.

I'll post some photos of the books after I know my other partner has received hers.

user6682 03/22/2007 #

i am so so so so so so so sorry!!! i got swamped with extra work this last week and totally forgot the deadline!! it's going out today!!! so sorry, really!!!

user6682 03/22/2007 #

mine are on the way! so sorry again!!! it was a total lapse... no excuses for it!

charolette33 03/22/2007 #

liz I got your entertaining postcard today. thanks!

user6682 03/24/2007 #

hey, just some notes: i sent my lists on thursday, but they should take a while as our post office is in a bit of an uproar right now, so it should take up to two weeks, sorry about that. and second, i didn't send postcards simply because we don't have them around here. our town is pretty much just universities and military stations, so we don't get tourists, or post cards. but i did get some pretty stationary!

JWJW2 03/24/2007 #

artgeek - I received your list today and oh my gosh...you are amazing! You are so talented. I absolutely LOVE what you did. Your style is amazing and fits me to a "T". Thank you for taking so much time to create such a wonderful list. Truly amazing! :)

EspressoBrown 03/24/2007 #

madpeoplejen - Got your list and love it! (I'm a cat lover too.) Thanks also for the lovely postcard you made for it.

CraftyDiana 03/25/2007 #

Timalle - I got your list today and it made me laugh! Thanks, Diana :)

inkysquid 03/25/2007 #

i sent my lists on friday...sorry, a teeny bit late :) hope the recipients enjoy them!

kimworm21 03/26/2007 #

I put my lists in the mail! Sorry they're a little late...I've lost all motivation for swaping lately :< But I miss it so I'm back in action. Thanks for your patience Molly and Sarah!

junemoon 03/27/2007 #

I just received a I[heart] list on a Michigan postcard. The writer tells me the nice things about her boyfriend [he sounds like a "keeper"]. But there's no name,so I don't know who to rate. She shouldn't worry, I'm too far away to think of stealing her boyfriend, and I'm pretty sure he's too young for me.

mrsmc 03/27/2007 #

Kimmie, Thanks for the letter about your tattoos...I love the stories behind them.

user3876 03/30/2007 #

I've gotten both of mine and rated each (5 + <3). This was a really fun swap!!!

brokenmelody 04/ 2/2007 #

I sent mine out a while ago, sorry i didnt post or confirm until today, i havent been able to access the internet until today!
