Description:
Tired of receiving the same things in swaps? Or are you looking for something you're just loving lately? I know all of us have like/dislike lists on our profiles, but if you're like me, then your tastes change and you go from collecting one thing into another thing and back again!! :D I love receiving something I know my partner chose out for me because they read my profile for likes / collections. This swap is for that :) You will have 2 partners and be sending them an envelope including some things they collect. A minimum of 5 items for example 1 playing card with washi tape samples, 1 generous handful of stickers, 1 postcard etc. In order to do this swap you HAVE to comment below with FOUR things you collecting at the moment. If you don't do this i will remove you from the swap. Your partner needs to know what you collect. Keep it simple and easy, not specific and do NOT say look at my profile. Think about what you're especially loving, or collecting right now. Think colours, patterns, types of craft supplies (vintage ephemera, memos, stickers, journal cards?), popular themes/prints or animals. Examples include hello kitty, skulls or birds, small smashbook supplies, bookmarks, used interesting stamps, ribbon, non touristy/arty postcards. You are welcome to add 1 bonus more specific wish for example "I'm specifically collecting right now postcards with foxes on them", "I'm looking for anything with the eiffel tower", "I would love ATC's that fit my profile." only after listing FOUR broad, easy to find wishes. When partners are assigned, find your partners comment below. Choose things they collect, envelope it, and send it! As your partner has asked for 4 things, and you need to include a minimum of 5, that is because you can choose what you want to grant their wishes. It is senders choice when coming to decide what to find and send to them. As long as you receive a minimum of 5 things which are related to your comment wishlist, you will rate a 5. You are welcome to de-stash and send your partner items you already have in YOUR collection as long as they are like new, no damage, etc. your partners comment wishlist is not a shopping list, you can use things you already have that they want. You are welcome to buy new items for your partner if that floats your boat, but it is not required therefore don't expect it. This is a type 3 because if your partner collects handmade items, you are more than welcome to make something for them, or if you get a regional partner, you may wish to send something non-flat. This is not a type 3 because a package is required. I would also ask you spice the envelopes up a little with some decorations/or mail art. ENJOY THE SWAP! it is not hard work and easy, fun and enjoyable. I'm bringing back an old favourite! ;] Please comment straight away below with your collections after joining the swap :)

I'm collecting right now... scrapbook/decorative paper, non-touristy postcards (like art, cartoon/vintage, cute, photography, typography, quotes), small notecards (i use them to write my information on for swaps!) and anything positive/happy theme.

BONUS WISH I love anything typography/calligraphy. Washi tape with words/quotes on it, journal cards with pretty handwriting-like fonts, cut-outs that are pretty quotes, alpha stickers/typography letters, calligraphy style things. example: here, here

For my broad themes, I'll go with: Birds, Halloween/spooky themed things (skulls, bats, pumpkins, etc.), vintage (I love the 40/50's aesthetic and also the victorian era), and OF COURSE, Pandas. I have a huge collection of panda stuff already but it always has room to grow. Bonus wish: I'm really into Alpha stickers right now. So they would always be super handy/appreciated! I hope that I've been broad enough with these! :)

-Things related to insects/insect patterened

Metal trinkets, cogs, jewelry findings and such.

-Gothic steampunk related things

As a bonus wish- I collect things related to my fandoms, including, mass effect, steven universe, adventure time. This includes handmade stuff like ATCs, or sewn things as well as stickers and yeah pretty much anything.

I collect cute lettersets with lines, mostly with characters like Sanrio (hello kitty, keroppi, chococat and all the others), Winnie the Pooh or anything cute with characters or rainbow colors. Sticker sheets! I love vintage ones if possible, like ones you can't find in stores anymore. I love unmarked postcards (not used) and my favorite designs are actual vintage or reprinted vintage. Washi tape is definitely something I am recently collecting! :) I also enjoy deco supplies of odds and ends things to make pocket letters...or even pre-made homemade pockets and homemade envelopes (mail art).

Stationery and stickers are great too! I have a small daughter, and her favourite colour is blue. Anything Disney "Frozen," Curious George, or Thomas Train (UK) would be great!

I collect vintage (or vintage style) postcards, washi samples, alphabet stickers, anything with cats as a theme. And lately I've started getting into sticker flakes and tiny things for my planner.

I have a thing with chevron and dot pattern. love coral neon (not really pink, not really orange), mint and gold colors. I just discover planner community and would love to find tabs, cute notepads, post it and tiny stickers or stamps, etc... Most of all I would love to receive a blank monthly planner from the dollar store ^^
