At Your Own Risk-Pick 2-Newbie Friendly Swap Intl

I remember being a newbie and waiting for swaps I could do to get rated. So here's one for all the newbies out there.

Pick TWO different items from the following list and send it to your partner. All these items are not too expensive to buy or ship.

-A fat quarter -A card of buttons -A roll of ribbon -A yard of lace -6 skeins of embroidery floss -A rubber stamp -A sheet of rub-on or sticker letters -A useful handmade item (like a needlebook, bookmarks, etc. - something that isn't just decoration but can be used)

This swap is open to all newbies and even those swappers with ratings. I am not going to be ban happy on this one, unless it's someone I know to be a known scammer or you have really suspect ratings (like all ones). i will be checking things, like profiles are all filled out and that your links work.

Here's why I call it "At Your Own Risk" swap. If you don't get something from your partner I will not be swap-fairy-ing this swap. But if you do get stiffed, I will heartily recommend, if you are able to, filing a mail fraud claim with the post office and will give you the information to do just that. I am not sure if it is able to be done internationally though.

I think this is a great way to get some new swappers into the fold and have some fun doing it. Let's get swapping!

EDITED ADDITION: If mailing to another country, do not use surface mail to mail your item. It takes very long to arrive and that is not fair to your partner. Please mail Airmail if mailing out of the country. Thanks!
