Hiya , I was asked by wolfeagle if i would carry on hosting these swaps Internationally as she is only doing the USA now. So here it is! the INTERNATIONAL version !This is the 14th now with many more to come Easy swap. Newbies with well filled out Profiles encouraged (MUST BE WELL Filled out). I understand we all have to start somewhere and this is a great swap to do that. Send a stuffed envelope with all sorts of goodies to one partner. Please send, at least a long business size envelope that measures approximately 4 x 9 inches, however you can certainly choose to go bigger if you want. The items you send are senders choice, however it is always nice to look at your partners profile and try to send items they can use. This is not a Profile swap, so please do not spend a lot of money shopping for profile surprises. This is more for you to send items that you have on hand, that are in good usable condition. This does not mean you can send your trash, send only items in good, usable condition. Please do not send items like, like your used candy wrappers, or written on apt. card, etc. Do send items from the list below. If you are unsure of items, you can ask me. Examples Include (but are not limited to )

Post cards,

Greeting Cards

Ribbons

Bookmarks

Buttons

Scrapbook papers, chipboard, etc ephemera

beads,charms

stickers

recipes/recipe cards

old photographs

small books

handmade items

craft supplies

teas/coffee/drink mixes

fabric scraps, sewing items

rubber stamps

movies/dvd's/cds

seeds

Or anything else you want to share that is in good, usable condition.

PLEASE REINFORCE your envelope with tape at the seams or use a larger envelope, if you think there is a chance it will explode during mailing. You may also choose to put stuff in a baggie in case the envelope tears in transit. This is a USA only swap. Have fun. No recent no sends allowed. Please rate your partner. No FLAKERS ALLOWED. Do Not Flake. I will list all flakers. I reserve the right to ban individuals.

Please do not send scraps of memo paper/notebook/post-it type paper, etc. You may send the whole memo pad or notebook but scraps of note paper does not equal scrapbook papers.

New Swappers- Profile Help: To fill out your profile, go to Profile. Then select Edit Profile. Next select Personal. You will be brought to a screen where you can fill in the sections or add your own information. Things like favorite colors, crafts you do, items you collect, hobbies, likes/dislikes, etc...all help your partner to send you items that you will like.THIS MUST BE WELL FILLED OUT BEFORE SIGNING UP....

this is International swap so if you are not prepared to mail abroad dont sign up!

@pinkbixi the computer chooses partners at random-- I'm often paired up with my sister, and it's a bummer, but who we get, as well as their location, is completely out of anyones hands :(

have sent message explaining @pinkbixi

I have just signed up - I love this idea! However, I'm a newbie, and I do have a question. How many items should I send (at least)? I don't want my partner to receive too little items... Or maybe you can give me a random weight of the envelope/package? Hope I'm not being too difficult, lol, I'm just very new at this and I don't want to mess it up :)

katjh 09/ 2/2011 #

hi, i've the same questions as @Calinnero

1) is there a min amount of things to send ? 2) is there a min $value amount too ?

iLoveMail 09/ 2/2011 #

@katjh and @Calinnero - the envelope should be stuffed full and fat like the swap name says. This means you will probably have to tape it and it will barely close. Its always a good idea to look at your partner's profile to see at least what they don't like, so you can make sure NOT to send those things, and especially if you want a heart! Just go by the list & pay attention to your partner's profile & send as much stuff as you can fit in the 4"x9" envie. I know I'm not the coordinator, but I hope this helps :)

katjh 09/ 5/2011 #

@iLoveMail thanks for clarifing : just want to make sure, cause you'll never know if there're anyone trying to just "go pass" with one very big towel / balloon or something to stuffed into the envi. :)

MsSuzanne 09/15/2011 #
