Description:

If you love Blythe dolls and enjoy taking photos of your girls, this will be a fun swap for you!

This is so simple: Take a photograph of your doll and send it to your partner. That's it! One photo!

Requirements:

  • Your photo may be digital or Polaroid, printed on your own printer or at the photo processor. Size should be Polaroid, 3" x 5", or 4" x 6" (no izone sized photos).

  • If you print on your own printer, please print a photo quality print on photo paper.

  • Digital altering of your photo is fine! Be creative.

  • Please take a NEW photograph of your girl (don't use one you've already taken).

  • Even though many of us have a whole herd of Blythes, please choose ONE girl as the subject for your photo shoot.

  • Full sized Blythes (Takara or Kenner) - please no petite Blythes.

  • Totally optional: you can package up the photo nicely for your partner, maybe even include a bio of your girl (name, eccentricites, etc.). One of the fun things about Blythe is how distinct their personalities are.

  • This is an International swap. Please do not sign up if you don't want to mail to a country other than your own. As a photo is flat, postage will not be prohibitive: it will be like mailing a letter.

  • Newbies are welcome with a complete profile and link to a blog, website, or flickr site.

  • Serious swappers only. As hostess it is my responsibility to ensure everyone has a swell time. Please don't sign up unless you plan to follow through and put some effort into this.

Can we also use Pullips? I hope to get one for Christmas or maybe for tax time.

Elizabeth4510: Pullips are fab, but this swap is for full size Blythe dolls only. :)

haha... I will be saving some polaroids for this!!! or find a good printer...

TreslynMarie 01/ 1/2008 #

Can we send a larger print like an 8x10 if we also include a smaller one? If I have the time I'd love to add some fancy stuff to my photo and send a print that could be hung up if someone chose to =] Also is it ok to send with frames? obviously nothing huge, but even with tiny photo's I like to make a simple frame and embellish it a little bit

TreslynMarie: You can do whatever you want beyond the scope of the project, but please do include one photo that meets the original rules. :)

I received a note from a participant/potential participant who is concerned about the prevalence of new, unrated swappers signed up for this swap.

As hostess, I want to make this swap open to people new to swap-bot ... we all need to start somewhere. However, also as hostess I need to make sure people are committed to the swap and understand how it works.

Please, make sure your profile includes links to a blog or photo site where we can see that you do own a Blythe and take photos of her regularly.

I will be contacting everyone closer to the swap close date to make sure you have an email and respond quickly.

Beyond these measures, I cannot guarantee anything. If you are concerned about the risk, don't sign up. I don't mean to be harsh, but we've got to be open to people and trust people and believe in their best natures.

Please send me a message with any questions.

Thanks! :)

grrrrr I'm having problems w/ swap bot verifying my address. I've entered it correctly and I get a message saying they've emailed me, but the verification email never shows up. I've been trying to take care of this for the last two weeks. It may remove me if I can't get this resolved Jeannine, if so can I just swap with you or someone else we know.

Heads up: If you are trying to create a swap-bot account using an aol email, you are going to need to get a gmail or yahoo account in order to play. Check out the FAQs ... swap-bot is having trouble with aol emails.

boodzoo 01/10/2008 #

If you haven't done so, please make sure to include a link to your TIB profile, flickr site, website, or blog in your swap-bot profile so I can make sure you have a Blythe doll. If your profile does not include this information by the time the swap officially closes tonight, I'm sorry, you will not be able to play in the swap.

So, please update your profile if you haven't already! We want you to play!

Contact me via swap-bot messaging with any questions. :)

boodzoo 01/11/2008 #

Good morning! Swap partners have been assigned. Unfortunately I did not hear back from a few of you and could not include you in the swap. This is not personal. Please update your profile with the info requested and next time we do this you'll be good to go.

If anyone has any questions, please email me.

Now, go forth and take photos of your Blythe! Yay!

boodzoo 01/13/2008 #

If you signed up for the swap, did not receive a message from me saying you were disqualified, and now find you are not listed in the swap ... please check your spam email folder for a message from swap-bot about verifying your account. You must have a verified account before swap-bot will allow you to participate in swaps.

If this happened to you, please email me and I will make arrangements for you to swap with someone.

Not sure I'm going to use swap-bot for swaps anymore. sigh

Too bad I did not noticed this swap before. I would have loved to showcase my Blythe. I`ll keep my eye opened for another.

ardentcurse 01/22/2008 #
