Description:

NEWBIE Version: Everyone is Welcome to Participate! This Swap will be a bit easier. PLEASE read the whole listing before joining:) This version differs a bit from the original.

This Swap will be for One Child Size Cloth Mini Tote, Stuffed with Goodies for your Partner. These Mini Totes are available at most .99 cent stores and dollar stores. Any Color, Sturdy Material or Pattern is Fine. Should be about 8" X 9". A handmade tote is fine too:)

Everyone will have One partner and will be stuffing the bag with at" Least" 15 different items to send, so try to keep the items on the smaller side. You can send extras if you like but it is not required. The idea is to give your partner a pretty wide variation of Surprises in their Mini Tote:)

Handmade or Store bought items are both fine, Or you may use Craft Supplies from your own Stash as long as Everything is in Good, Clean, Usable Condition. Please try to include at least One Girl-y Item for your Partner. This one is Senders Choice Which means that if you receive something that you do not like, you cannot rate low. Just Re-Gift:) If the Tote followed the Swap Requirements listed here, then your partner has fulfilled the Swap. Please be sure to check your partners profile for any Strong Dis-likes and Allergies though We want everyone to be Happy with their bag. Let's keep it Fun:)

Item Examples would include but are not limited to:

Any Small Craft Supplies

Small Fabric Squares

Small DIY Craft Kit

Tiny Dotee Doll

Embellishments

Nice Sticker Sheets

Incense

Ornaments

Cute Keychains

Wrapped Surprises

Beads

Brads

Cute Socks

Candles

Stationary

Pens

Note Cards

Lip Gloss

Hair Ties

Earrings

Girl-y Stuff

And More Etc.

I did one of these a while back and it was so much Fun! I Decorated the Tote Bag that I received and still use it Today:) The postage will vary by weight (of course) but should run around $5.00.

PLEASE READ!!! You MUST Have a Completely Filled out Profile by the time partners are assigned. Not just a few lines. Be sure to include Allergies,Likes and Dislikes. Please NO FLAKERS!! I reserve the Right to Drop anyone that I feel might not send. I will Angel or arrange an Angel if needed. I want EVERYONE to receive a really nice bag of surprises. Everyone will have 1 week to send out their Mini Tote. If you cannot send by the Send Date, PLEASE do not Join. I am always available for any questions:)

This sounds like a lit of fun. I am watching for now, but may join soon!

Can the things that you stuff the tote with be handmade?

MysticBayou 08/14/2010 #

Hi @Ashala Hope you can join in!! Yes, They can be Handmade or Store bought.

My tote is made, now I'm filling it. When you talk about "your own Stash", what quantities would constitute 1 thing. 6 buttons?12 brads? A pkg of pencils or just one cute one? Is there a list somewhere that helps with this kind of thing? Having fun getting things together but I don't want to cheat my partner! LOL Thanks. Patty

MysticBayou 08/15/2010 #

Hi @dizzysgram . Great question! Something really small like, brads, beads, buttons etc, the minimum of about 10 would be one item off of the list. Things like Pencils, Pens and Note Cards, Paper, or Post Cards etc, 2 Single items,( not 2 Packs) would make 1 item off of the list Anything over that would be completely optional. Let me know if you have any other questions:)

dizzysgram 08/16/2010 #

Thanks. That covers it! Happy swapping! :)

Stephyni 08/16/2010 #

I am so excited!!! I love the grab baggy type of stuff that has a little of this and a little of that:) yay!

dizzysgram 08/16/2010 #

Have we received our swap partners yet?

dizzysgram 08/16/2010 #

Oh, sorry MysticBayou. I was looking at July's calendar and thought today was the 19th of August. My bad! It's been a long day. LOL

MysticBayou 08/16/2010 #

That's ok @dizzysgram :) We will get our partners tomorrow:) Yaaay

I had some issues with my experienced swappers Little Tote Bag Surprises Swap and have been dealing with a situation. I forgot to push sent for my bag going out yesterday and I apologize for that.
