... you get the idea now! basically little souvenirs - conventional or unconventional!

Write a small note about where you are from, explanation of the items (if needed), your swap id, date etc. You can decorate the envelope as well keeping in mind the theme (although this is optional). Also, very important: Please... check your partners profile for dislikes and avoid those things.

Everyone must have a good rating to join. 4.99 and above, all profiles will be checked throughly and you may be dropped if theres too much drama happening in your ratings section or in the public forum. Swappers with at least 10 type three completed swaps only will be allowed. (Sorry Newbies!)

Reminder: Please leave the name of your country as a comment. Only one person per country!!!

If your country is already listed in the comments below, you can still join this swap if:

you are able to do a theme with countries other than where you live (it shouldn't be already listed) ie. you live in USA but you have lots of items from Spain, you can do a Spanish theme, if Spain hasnt already been chosen.

Remember this is the Show Me Your Country swap.. not state/town/region.. you can include something from your state/city but keep the theme to country!

Please send a good mix of interesting items:

Try to think of unconventional souvenirs - not just another keychain you bought from the store - but something that shows the everyday life in your country. Please don't send only paper goods or only handmade goods. Mix it up!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

Happy swapping! Enjoy!
