Description:

You must have completed (and been rated for) a minimum of 10 type 3 swaps and have at least a 4.9 rating. (If I see recent unexplained 1's or 3's, I will send you a message before removing you from this swap. I do believe in second chances, but I also reserve the right to ban questionable participants, as any good host would.)

Pick one of the following theme ideas and fill a small box for your partner (sender's choice, but always nice to see if you get some good ideas from your partner's profile).

Themes are:

  • Party In A Box
  • Gardening In A Box
  • Pamper Me In A Box
  • Vacation In A Box
  • A Day At The Office In A Box
  • Welcome Home In A Box
  • All Things Crafty In A Box
  • Date Night In A Box
  • Kiss The Cook In A Box
  • Hug In A Box
  • The Great Outdoors In A Box
  • My Inner Child In A Box

The theme is left up to you and your interpretation, but be sure to include a note in your package letting them know what theme you picked.

Box size should be 6x6 (minimum) and include at least 4 different (new) items, and be a minimum of $5 value before postage.

Please have a well filled out profile.

And now for the bonus!

Everyone who signs up for this swap (my very first) will be entered in a drawing to win a brand new (just bought it a week ago) K&Company Smash Journal Gift Set "Nostalgia Style." It includes: 1 Journal; 1 Pen & Glue; 1 Elastic Pen Band; 60 Adhesive Notes; 1 Mini List Pad; 4 Pockets; 2 Rolls of Paper Tape; all nicely arranged in a divided box (which could be used for jewelry, trinkets, embellishments etc.).

I will pick the winner once the sign up date has passed, and I will mail the Smash Journal Gift Set once I see that person has been rated with a 5 (which lets me know they completed the swap appropriately). :o)

I will be reviewing all profiles and ratings prior to assigning partners to be sure I am the best host I can be . . . so make sure you qualify before joining!

Woo Hoo! I just made my box and am just waiting to address it...Love this idea!

drgngirl 01/28/2014 #

Can you use a small flat-rate box or does it have to be 6x6?

LittleDonnaGirl 01/28/2014 #

6x6 is the smallest size ... you can feel free to go bigger! :o)

MissWhimsy 01/29/2014 #

MissWhimsy 01/29/2014 #

justcutej 02/ 8/2014 #

Just read my partners profile. Made it even harder to pick a theme. I guess I might have to play eany meany miney moe.

LittleDonnaGirl 02/ 8/2014 #

@justcutej . . . I know what you mean . . . I have 3 ideas . . . now to narrow it down to 1! :o) I will be doing this swap as a series to give us all a chance to really have fun picking different themes! :o)

crispy 02/11/2014 #

So I've gathered all the stuff for my box but... 6x6 isn't really a box dimension so now I'm a little confused....

LittleDonnaGirl 02/12/2014 #

@crispy . . . how about 6x6x6 :o) I picked some up recently at our local Fred Meyer . . . but also note that is the minimum size . . . you can always go larger! (I believe the post office offers a free 6x6x7 amongst their free packaging.)

LittleDonnaGirl 02/12/2014 #

CONGRATULATIONS @A127 !! You are the winner of the Smash Journal Gift Set "Nostalgia Style"! Please let me know as soon as your partner rates you for the Mini Care Package swap! :o)

LittleDonnaGirl 02/23/2014 #

2/23 I just sent PMs to those who who hadn't marked "sent" yet (and handn't yet communicated with me). :o) I know life happens, just please let me and your partner know what is happening. :o)
