Description:

So, I'm a HUGE fan of the ATC Bag swap hosted by @Allegrae and I've been thinking about ways to add some diversity to my small craft stash.I combined my ideas with her concept and that's how Pack & Play was born. If I get a good response, I would like to host this swap once a week to get some bags into rotation and to get some new things into our stash.

So here are the rules if this is your first round:

create a bag similar to the one shown in the image (this will be your bag) once everyone has played your bag should come home.

*** To create your bag ***

Take a small baggie/envie and write your swap-bot user name, name and mailing address on one side.

On the other side, give the players some instructions exa. Please add blue things "take out 3 pieces, add 5 pieces." You can choose to have the person take or add as many as you wish. (Note: New bags MUST start with at least 10 pieces so players have an assortment to choose from.)

Create numbered lines for participants to sign. You can decide how many lines to include (# of pass along players) The last person will sign and send the bag home. (1-4 players is recommended so you get your bag back by the end of the month)

Place the goodie bag inside another envelope and mail the package to your swap partner.

If you've participated in previous rounds, just keep the bag that received moving. If you are the last to sign a bag then create a new bag to start moving in the next round.

As the players add your bag grows, you can participate in varied rounds. Established swappers with an interest in bits & bobs for use in mixed media, ATCs, paper crafts. with ratings higher than 4.99 allowed. I will read profiles. No unresolved 1's or 3's allowed. I reserve the right to ban anyone that I feel might deter from the success of this swap. I will angel any flaked bags, but please don't join if you don't want to play.

Each person specifies what they have an interest in, the items added are senders choice within the interests listed.

i.e. die cuts, small ephemera, blue etc.

Any questions, post below so I can answer for everyone. If you don't meet the req' and want to do a PVT swap message me. I would be happy to swap with newbies!

This is my first go at this so I may have to adjust the wording.. if something sticks out as a mistake message me..And I have no idea why my image looks like crap, if you know, do tell THANKS

So stickers for example... because I love stickers, would it be a sheet of stickers or could I create a sub-bag of say 25 stickers that swappers can take from and add to? Same with die cuts, is each die cut an item or could there be an envelope with 10 die cuts? Am I making this difficult? I like this idea!

Very good question...

I would suggest going with something similar to this rule

Exa. a sticker sheet / or 5 stickers in an envie could be one item ...3 die cuts could be 1 item.... 5 small postage stamps could be one item.. a few loose leaf pages from a list could be one item...

you can set your bag anyway you'd like, but always ask yourself... If I was choosing this as my item would I want it... exa ... 1 tiny sticker IMO doesn't fly as an item..but 1 decal sticker the size of a tennis ball could be an item

I've seen a few AMAZING bags, which totally made me rethink my initial bag..

so i've seen these as 1 item: 10 brads, 2 eyeglass embellishments in an envie, small bag of sequins, a few loose leaf list pages, packet of melon seeds, 5 die cuts, 10 word stickers, etc... Really the options are endless

I do not really swap goodie bags but I have some that I have received in another swap. If anyone would like them, just pm me.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE, if your the last signer on a bag, don't forget to send it home and make a new bag to send to your partner.
