Description:
I love that saying take 5.This swap promises to be lots of fun and very easy.A nice cheap and easy way to send items that will fit in a small envelope.All your items if you send from the US must be able to fit in a small Global Priority Envelope for $4.50..If you are in the US and not sending it International then i will leave the envelope up to you.You can get one for US priority for the same price. If you are International then you will need to check the price in your country.Wondering what its all about? 1- partner 25 -Items The items must be flat.So think buttons,stickers,post cards,ATC's,fabric,paper,images,tea,paper dolls,zines ect. The items should be in a combination of Lime Green and Orange.My daughter is wanting to do a swap and this is for her.I will be supervising her selections and will be sure she sends you items according to your profile. Please only send items you would like to receive your self.Most importantly have fun.I will be checking profiles and newbies are welcome.This swap is International as well. EDITED Unfortunately do to the amount of so sends from Newbies i feel i have to add this.I cannot continue to make up swaps for those who donot send their items.It gets really expensive especially if it's a dollar amount swap. I donot want to sound mean or harsh.Swap-bot is suppose to be a fun place to swap not get cheated.More and more are signing up getting their swaps and then deleting their profile.Worse yet some even leave a 1 when they know they received their item and then delete their profiles. I have had this happen alot lately as swap-bot becomes more popular.No-one in the future will be allowed to sign up for my swaps if they are a Newbie unless they will be receiving at least 3 swap ratings before the i assign partners.Most of my swaps are set for a month to two months ahead of time.The only exception to this will be the following. At least 3 people you have sent your swaps to that have received their item and can vouch for you. For those with just one 1 rating please sign up.For those with more then 1 no send you will need to contact me or i will remove you. Sorry if this sounds mean or harsh but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with those who just don't care about or respect others.I think more hostesses will start doing this as well. Take Care Joyce

Hi guys, I wonder if this will turn into more of a supervised kid swap. I'll keep my eye on it because I've been looking for something like that for my 9 year old grand daughter and me. She lives with me. Funky, I am a one time "newbie" but if you look at my rating it went very well..I even got a heart. I'm signed up now for the fabric squares swap and will probably sign for the tiny paper scraps swap. In this early stage I am careful to choose topics with ending dates that I can easily fulfill. Actually, I think I'll make this swap thing my hobby. My first package to receive was a little disappointing, but the really fun part was putting together mine to send, thinking about the profile of the recipient and making it especially for her. I'll watch this swap a little longer before signing up.

Hi Anya, This is one that my daughter is hosting and i am supervising yes.A great way for us to go shopping and for her to craft a few things for her partner.I'm sure your Grand daughter would love it but you can also join for just your-self if you want. Sometimes we all receive things we may not care for but chin up some great stuff comes as well.
