Description:

International and Newbies ok.

For this swap, you will send 1 whimsey item for each letter of the alphabet (26 in total). Include a note/letter explaining all 26 items. Some things might be obvious but others might not. Ex: you could send a button for B or if a Rose shaped button for R.

You do not need to send your whimsey in a jar but please make the presentation "special". Don't just throw it all in an envelope and send it to your partner. You can put everything in a jar if you wish, or a little box or just wrap each item like a little present or put each item in a decorative envelope, As long as it is "special".

To sum it up: Send your partner 26 items of whimsey, 1 piece for every letter of the alphabet.

Whimsey does not need to be in a jar but must have a special presentation.

You will have 1 partner

This is an international swap

This swap is open to all, newbies included as long as you have a completed profile and zero no-sends in the last 3 months. (I will make exceptions if you have a reasonable explanation.)

I will review everyone's profile as you sign up for the swap. I will send you an email if I have questions about your profile or if you need to add to your profile prior to the swap.

If you get all 26 pieces of whimsey, you must rate a 5. Hearts for great presentation or extras.

Please, no flakers. I might be able to angel this swap but hopefully I won't have to.

What are pieces of whimsey??

I have never made a whimsey jar..

Thanks for your help!!

I think that to send a jar with whimsey would be very expensive from here hehe, but a box is totally doable, if I can find a cute box to put the things in. I will see what I can do, I never participated in a swap like this before... Interesting thought, though!

whimsey: an odd or fanciful or capricious idea. You can send buttons, tiny little skulls, beads, tiny little animals, button/pins, barbie shoes, anything fun and out of the ordinary... google whimsey jars. there are a bunch of pictures on flicker. Hope this helps.

A jar is not going to happen - it'll be a box or container of some sort. But I have piles and piles of whimsey parafernalia so I'm excited about this. My first swap! be gentle... :)

Hi i'm new. Am I eligible for this swap? I've signed up, e-mail me if there's any questions. Hope I can participate :D

I will be gone until the 18th so if I miss anything...just know that I am NOT flaking anyone! See ya all later!

I have already started collecting items hehe, but maaan its tough hehe. But eventually I will be done. I will ship mine in a nice, small box, rather than a jar, because it will be too big and too heavy. I got to fit it in a A4 bubble envelope, otherwise postage would be too expensive.

omg i'm in! i can't wait :D

i've googled up on whimsy jars and got an idea what to do. This is going to be so cool. My 1st whimsy jar swap!!

I was so excited that I did my whinsey this weekend and ready to send Monday. It was soooo much fun.

Would it be concidered cheating if I use letters from my language? I mean, as long as I can explain... Sometimes I dont know what everything is called in English hehe.
