Hi Bex! Welcome to Swap-Bot! It's a fantastic place and so much fun. I've been swapping here a number of years - it's an obsession, lol. And I've been introduced to so many wonderful new crafts and have made some what i'm sure will be life-long friends :0)
Just to answer a question you left on the Decorate a Notebook swap - the swap host will assign partners soon after the last day to sign up. This is actually done by the computer program, but the host has to push the button to tell the computer it's time. you will receive an email that partners have been assigned. At that time you go into the the swap and follow the prompts to see who you are sending to - so you can ready their lovely profile and send a FABULOUS package :)
I agree with Justene - a fully fleshed out profile is the best. Feel free to take a look at mine if you need some ideas. Also - just know that you WILL get some crappy things in return. Not every swap will live up to your expectations. I've been flaked on numerous times, but my philosophy is that I swap for fun. NOT for what I receive in return, well not wholly anyway, lol
Have a great time and if you have questions, please feel free to reach out!
Happy Swapping from hoosiergirl! p.s. I love swapping with international swapper if you ever want to do a private swap, give me a shout!
Hi Bex! Welcome to Swap-Bot! So glad you're here! You are sooo going to LOVE it here! There are so many fun swaps, and this is such an amazing community of fun, talented, and creative people!
Welcome also to the 'I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - April' swap --- thank you for joining my swap! If you have any questions, please feel free to holler! Hope to 'meet you in the mail' often! :)
p.s. it is always a good idea to fill out your profile with as much information & detail as possible. All your likes, favourite colours, crafts, hobbies, wishlists, etc. The more specific info you have, the happier your mailbox will be! It makes it much easier for your swap partner to create/choose items that you suit you perfectly if you have a well filled-out profile. You will notice on most of the swaps that one of the main requirements is to have a well-filled out profile --- that is the case with this swap as well.
The more detail in your profile, the better the swaps will be for you and your partner!
You have a great start on it!
Happy Swapping! :)
