For this swap you will send to one partner a store bought reel of ribbon(these range from 99¢ to 2.00, on or off reel 1 yd min.) and three matching buttons(can be loose or on a card).

No extras.

This was a hit last year when I did it, so I thought I would offer it up again. Have fun and welcome to the wonderful world of swapping!!

I suspect that people who "need to raise their ratings" (flakers, you mean?) find it far easier to do so by joining e-mail swaps with 20 partners. ;)

how are we supposed to get hearts without the option of extras?

pahasiga 06/27/2009 #

I guess you are supposed to make a great package (like, looking at your partner's profile and choosing what she would love) instead of throwing in crappy extras. Now that's a challenge, huh?

Darleneh710 06/27/2009 #

@Helena8664 for hearts you can always send a profile based item as well. Use your imagination! hope this helps

plaid ribbon please if possible to find this time of year, or bumble bees or black/yellow ribbon, or camo ribbon, for funky retro ribbon & buttons would all be appreciated though anything different and unique

ladyfeathers 06/30/2009 #

You don't alwyas have to give extras for hearts. You know when you open that package and it just hits you right? That's a heart. Ever open one of those packages and you think "ugh", that's not a heart.

Wanted it to be an easy straight forward swap.

As a newbie I think this is a wonderful idea!!

homeandheart 07/ 5/2009 #

Sorry to leave another comment, but, can we remove the ribbon from the reel? It is easier to mail, and cute ways to present it. Also, some ribbon has one yard, others three or nine. Is there a minimum? I don't want to short change anyone. Thanks!

ladyfeathers 07/ 5/2009 #

Wouldn't want to be short changed either, so you can leave the ribon on or off the reel and how about 1 yd mininum. Sound good?

homeandheart 07/ 6/2009 #

Perfect! Thank you!

Thank you for doing this. As a newbie, it's hard to find swaps that I can participate in because I don't have enough swaps under my belt. And ribbons and buttons - two of my favourite things!

Thanks so much for letting us newbies get in on a fun swap to help boost our ratings and get our feet wet!!!

sosiejude 07/14/2009 #

thanks so much again for letting us newbies join your swap .will give me my first rating hopefully.

It's yet another question, is this senders choice? Thank you!

zerofantasies 07/16/2009 #

Hearts shouldnt be based on extras.

disneyfreaksam 07/19/2009 #

I would like any patterned ribbon.

ladyfeathers 07/20/2009 #

Yes it is senders choice, however if you get a senders name that has listed a choice here, and you are able, please try and match their choice. Hearts are not based on extras here in this swap. I have opened swaps to literally find more extras than the original item number was, they were trying to cover up the fact they didn't do the swapped item correctly. Giving hearts is a personal opinion for me. So if you don't know what it is a heart deserver now, don't worry, you will know when you see something that deserves a heart.

I am making hair things for my granddaughters, so please think little girls when sending.

Cindalu 07/20/2009 #

I am excited. My first swap on here. I love any ribbon.

LilacsAndGinger 07/21/2009 #

i would love any kind of patterned ribbon--stripes or polka dots would be great! I'm brand new to Swap-bot and very excited to participate. Thanks for setting this up!
