Description:

Easy swap. Newbies with filled out Profiles encouraged. I understand we all have to start somewhere and this is a great swap to do that. Send a stuffed envelope with assorted goodies to one partner. Please send, at least a long business size envelope that measures approximately 4 x 9 inches, however you can certainly choose to go bigger if you want to. There is no minimum or maximum number of items to send, just make sure your envelope is stuffed full. The items you send are SENDER'S CHOICE. This is not a Profile swap, so please do not spend a lot of money shopping for profile surprises. This is more for you to send items that you have on hand, that are in good usable condition. This does not mean you can send your trash, send only items in good, usable condition. Please do not send items like, your used candy wrappers, or written on apt. card, or loose memo papers or post it scraps, etc. Do send items from the list below. If you are unsure of items, you can ask me. Examples Include (but are not limited to )

Post cards,

Greeting Cards

Ribbons

Bookmarks

Buttons

Scrapbook papers, chipboard, etc ephemera

beads,charms

game pieces

altered art supplies

stickers

recipes/recipe cards

old photographs

small books

handmade items

craft supplies

teas/coffee/drink mixes

fabric scraps, sewing items

ribbons, yarns

rubber stamps or stamped images

movies/dvd's/cds

seeds

Or anything else you want to share that is in good, usable condition.

PLEASE REINFORCE your envelope with tape at the seams or use a larger envelope, if you think there is a chance it will explode during mailing. You may also choose to put stuff in a baggie in case the envelope tears in transit. This is a USA only swap. Have fun. No recent no sends allowed. Please rate your partner. No FLAKERS ALLOWED. Do Not Flake. As always, I reserve the right to ban individuals.

Please do not send individual scraps of memo paper/notebook/post-it type paper, etc. You may send the whole memo pad or notebook but scraps of note paper does not equal scrapbook papers.

New Swappers- Profile Help: To fill out your profile, go to Profile. Then select Edit Profile. Next select Personal. You will be brought to a screen where you can fill in the sections or add your own information. Things like favorite colors, crafts you do, items you collect, hobbies, likes/dislikes, etc...all help us get to know you and it helps your partner to send you items that you will like or that you can use.

USA Only. No recent unexplained low ratings.

can I get in this swap?

wolfeagle 10/ 5/2013 #

No.

butterflylady 10/ 6/2013 #

any special size for the scrapbook papers?

butterflylady 10/ 6/2013 #

any special size for the fabric pieces? Any special lengths for the ribbons?

wolfeagle 10/ 6/2013 #

No, there is no set required size but I would say all items would need to be large enough for someone else to craft with/use. There is no point in sending anyone, any craft materials, that can't be used. Scrapbook papers minimum size would be for an ATC....2.5 x 3.5. I would recommend staying above 8 inches for ribbons/yarns.

I have been absent for long now, but had bad ratings then,,... Can I restart on this swap?

wolfeagle 10/ 7/2013 #

Agh...Nope.

Sulieen 10/ 8/2013 #

Since other people asked...can I join? ;-)

wolfeagle 10/ 9/2013 #

Sure...........generally speaking, I look at all profiles, right before I assign partners for the swap. ;)

Great. Welcome to Swap-bot.

@wolfeagle thank you for trying so hard.

For those that do not meet hosts requirements, which are in place to protect swappers, try hosting a swap and perhaps you will understand why she has to make sure the partners are protected.

I really hope I'm allowed to enter, I'm relatively new (long time lurker, but this is the first swap I've tried to enter!). I have a lot of great things to send, if I can!

cindycake 10/11/2013 #

Eek! I'm really excited for this swap :) I love getting big, fat envelopes full of stuff almost as much as I love sending them! My best friend likes to fondly refer to me as a "horder" haha. I hope all goes well with entering this swap c:

I just joined tonight and would love for this to be my first swap! A friend of mine told me about this site and I was looking for a washi tape swap but came across this one and thought I'd try this one first, hope you'll allow me to participate. I've updated my profile several times, trying to "add more" to it :)

For all of our new users: The owners of this site have done a great job explaining how the site works in the Help section. You can find the Help section on the upper right side of the page. There is a FAQ section, new user info page, glossary of swap-bot terms and much more valuable information. It really is a must read when just starting here. Please check it out. Thanks.

MiniQuilt 10/23/2013 #

I really did enjoy this swap. I bet I might be able to do a 20 questins page. I've gotta learn how todo a swap of my own. Because these kinds are fun to do. I also enjoy reading the words. . . and I had fun choosing a picture/clipart for my page to make my 'send back' to the person to whom I am sending.
Perhapps a New one for the new year- (not Martin Luther) but about the things we would like to do or accomlish for the year 1914. Have fun you all! MiniQuilt

Didi1959 10/23/2013 #

I got my stuffed envie from margothecat today. This was my first swap and I am so happy with everything that was in it. Great swap wolfeagle, can't wait to do an other swap.

MiRdLHWY43 10/24/2013 #
