Description:

THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL SWAP!

I stole this idea from another site that I participated in. NOT MY IDEA

This swap involves you choosing 5 words, and you need to try and fullfill those 5 words with what you send as a swap. FOR EXAMPLE: Sparkly Unicorns Pens Red Socks As this person's partner I would probably do maybe a cute pen, a pair of cute red socks, something with unicorn....etc...

Get it? Ok. Now its up to you guys! I know it might be hard thinking of 5 words but it can be anything at all that you like. What do you like receiving?I know it's going to be a bit trickier than usual trying to come up with stuff to send but that's half the fun! ALSO - the goal is to try and incorporate everything into the swap. This doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune! Use your imagination!!

this sounds like a lot of fun! my five things are: fire, funky, blue, nature & cute.

MeaghanLC 04/ 8/2007 #

Cool. Thanks for joining! Wow....BIG range there to choose from!

My 5 are green, irish, stationery, travel, and reading.

pinkwhirlitop 04/ 8/2007 #

I love this idea! :) Just one question - what is the min or max price range?

Me = pink, rainbow, dress, unique, water

(Not saying I want a dress, just interpret it as you will! I'll love anything funky you come up with!)

MeaghanLC 04/ 8/2007 #

The max amount is $15. It is up to you about what you spend. If you are crafty, you don't have to spend that much....I on the other hand am not crafty. LOL!

igobylorib 04/ 8/2007 #

This swap was a challenge, but it´s so great you like my selection! :)

ksj1717 05/13/2007 #

Petra, I also received my lot of goodies yesterday! You really put some creativity and some work into it to meet all five of my items. It made me very happy! I'd love to see another one of these swaps in the future.

MeaghanLC 05/16/2007 #

gwenandcats 05/17/2007 #

tateva and hyperoma: your packages are on the way!

123Poggy123 05/17/2007 #

I'll will post another message again right after the packages are dispatched.

Thanks

wishcake 05/19/2007 #

MAM, I received the swap goodies a few days ago. I love how you went with a certain theme - I'm in a scrapbooking craze lately, and everything you sent is perfect. Thank you for everything! You are fabulous.

:)

MeaghanLC 05/19/2007 #

Ok...everyone should have their package ready to go and in the mail by Monday at the latest.

huiyuehin 05/21/2007 #

Kinghollow, plese expect to receive in approx. 7 working days.

Regards, huiyuehin

MeaghanLC 05/22/2007 #

Rainbowsparkles....please respond to my emails. Your partners are wondering about you.

whimsicalone 05/22/2007 #

nursy & urban exotic, just sent your packages. yesterday was a holiday in Canada, so the PO was closed. hope you enjoy what i sent!

MeaghanLC 05/22/2007 #

I have heard from nursy and Swimgirl who assure me that they will get their packages in the mail soon. I hate that I have to check up on people but I know how it feels to get a package ready for someone only to not have one sent in return.

SilverWing 05/23/2007 #

hyperoma and gwen+cats, I hope you guys like everything! I'm sad, but this will have to be my last international swap. Shipping cost me $60 for the two. >< It would be better if swap-bot could keep people from getting two international partners in the same swap...

SparklyPinkStarSnowflake 05/23/2007 #

$60? Wow that's alot! how heavy were they?

I think your partners should give you a heart for spending that much on the posting alone!

I send out semi-heavy, medium sized swaps and the most I pay for them is NZD$15..

user3457 05/24/2007 #

cmhatcstamper, thank you for being patient, your package is finally on it's way!

SilverWing 05/25/2007 #

sugareyes, one was just over 2lbs, the other was actually just over 4. I have no idea how they were that different in weight, though, lol. The postage was about the same on the, though, $27ish on one and $33ish, I think, on the other. Durn post office is gonna' kill my swapping fun.

MeaghanLC 05/25/2007 #

ok...8 more to go before they are all sent out!! YEAH!

SparklyPinkStarSnowflake 05/27/2007 #

SilverWing wow - that would so put me off swapping if that happens here! I would probably only be able to do 1 swap a month! at least most of you guys can have US only swaps - I'm afraid if I have a NZ only swap I'd be sending to myself! haha - then again I'd love what I get and get a good rating ;)

MeaghanLC 05/29/2007 #

It's been a week yesterday. All swaps should be sent by now....unless you emailed your partners and told them otherwise.

cmhatcstamper 06/ 2/2007 #

veggiemommie-thanks for the swap package -love the lilac stuff and the handmade bag-Chris H.

hyperoma 06/ 7/2007 #

Thanks SilverWings! Just looking at the postage alone, I think you're a great swapper already.

MeaghanLC 06/ 7/2007 #

Is there anyone else that hasn't gotten theirs yet? Other than international swaps.....

donnasaurus1 06/13/2007 #

I haven't got mine :(

Donna

Petra 07/ 3/2007 #

Still no signs of Princesshammerheads package :( Has it lost in mail?

Petra 07/11/2007 #

It finally reached me, yey! :) I´m done!
