I see you and I care about you - profile package

this swap is a somewhat intensive swap. As such, please have a very well filled out profile, it helps your partner in finding things for you, and helps you be much more likely to get things you are happy to receive!

For this swap, you will have 1 partner, and you will be reading their profile thoroughly. You are trying to get to know them as best you can from what you read. Then you will buy at least 10 items, costing at least $1 each (Dollar Store quality things or above), though you can feel free to include more than 10 items/spend more than $10. Just be aware all that is REQUIRED is 10 items of at least $1 value, so if you spend more you may not get the same monetary value back.

You want to include items that you really think will make your partner happy. All 10 items should be new, though once you have your 10, you may include handmade or other quality items (in other words, the first 10 must be new, the others can be very gently used, or handmade, if they are something that you honestly think your partner will like).

Package everything nicely. Some of us rely on these swaps as the only "happy mail" we get, not receiving cards or letters from family or friends. Some of us are lonely, or depressed, or struggling in some way. Send a package you are proud of and would be happy to receive if you were your partner. Make it nice inside and out! Show that you care.

Last but not least, include a letter to your partner introducing yourself and telling a bit about you. Some of your likes, dislikes, dreams...tell about pets, those you live with, where you live, whatever. Do you relate to your partner at all based on their profile? Maybe you are interested in trying to strike up a friendship? This should be at least one page.

PLEASE have at least 15 RATED type 3 swaps (no newbies, sorry) and no recent or unexplained 1's or 3's. Please do not join if you cannot follow through. You will greatly upset someone who is counting on you, and I cannot angel.
