Description:

International swap, open to newbies with a completed profile. (See comments below if you are a newbie!)

I have hosted some round-robin journal swaps, that are only open to "experienced" swappers, with a good rating - and I've been contacted by many newbies, asking if they could join.

I've told them to find a "quick turnaround swap", get some excellent ratings, and then they'd be most welcome.

Well, there just aren't that many quickies that are open to newbies...and well, I remember when I was one myself...

SO.....

This is for YOU, if you are brand new, or have not yet found a quick swap to get that precious number behind your name...maybe even a heart or two?

This is an international swap, open to EVERYONE - even experienced swappers (adding a couple more "5"s ratings would be good for anyone!

Swap Details: you will have TWO partners (that means you will get two ratings!)

Send FOUR blank notecards, with envelopes to each of your partners.

(That's eight notecards, total, which is usually one packet of cards from the store)

This is a FAST swap, (one week from signup to mailing) , so get your notecards right away, get them in a mailing envie, even weigh it (remember, this is an international swap, so you won't know the postage if your partner happens to be international)

Swap partners will be assigned the day after the signup deadline, so all you'll have to do is address them, and put them in the mail!

as soon as you receive your swap, be sure to rate your partner. There are some eager newbies, looking forward to that rating.

IMPORTANT: be sure to include (for ALL your swaps) the swap name, your swapping ID, and the date you mailed it! A lot of us use nicknames, and it's nice to know who sent the swap, so we can thank you!

HAVE FUN WITH THIS! And Good Luck!

(Hope to see some of you in my round robin swaps soon!)

Partners will be assigned SOON! Get your cards ready, to get them in the mail FAST!

Swappers: get your notecards ready, to put them in the mail right away.

There are several newbies signed up for this swap, so be sure to rate your partner right away, when you receive your cards because they're eager to get a number after their name!

The swap (as do ALL swaps) earns a "5" rating, if you receive four notecard, and mailed on time. NOT if you necessarily love them, or if they included a bunch of extras! (It's up to you, but something like that, might deserve a heart)

Most important, I hope you had FUN with this!

(Oops, cannot edit)!!

That last. Comment has. An extra sentence, which sounds remarkably like the you just read, and since I'm basically. A lazy person, I didn't try to re-write the whole thing!

You'll just have to SKip that sentence...

Of course, by the time you read THIS comment, you will have already read the previous one!

Ummm....ok then....

In order to allow some. Of the newbies a chance to complete their profiles, I am moving this swap ahead one day, to the deadline.

Partners will be assigned TOMORROW!

Get those profiles finished right away! we do want you to join us, we'd just lik to get to know you!

is my profile full enough? I've the cards all ready to send.

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

I host a lot of swaps, and most of them are open to newbies, with only one rule: they must have a filled-in profile.

Even swappers who've been here awhile continue to tweak and update our profiles, so creating one as a newbie does not mean it's set in stone.

But your partners want to get to know you. If they get your name in a swap, might want to send you something you'd like, based on what you've put there, and when they receive from you, they'd like to say thanks!

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

And CreativeChaos, you're profile is fine. I wrote you a message also. (I would have messaged you, if it wasn't, thank you for asking - and your post might have inspired others to fill their's in.)

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

It seems we've had some newbies join us in the last few minutes. And that if wonderful..welcome!

I hope you've taken the time to read these comments also, and followed through.

I have already moved the deadline ahead, for another newbie to get their profile filled in, but I won't do it again, and make all the rest of the swappers wait.

This swap will CLOSE today, in about THREE hours!

If you do NOT have a profile, I will have to drop you from this swap. Please get it done. As I've said many times, most of my swaps are newbie-friendly, with only ONE rule!

Edit: three hours = 2 pm, central daylight time

PHEW!!! I think I'm in... :D

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

You made it....I can't even imagine there being a "turtle soup"! Haahaha

TurtleSoup76 08/ 2/2015 #

:D lol I like turtles, but it was either "soup" or "wax"... lol

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

And yes, this swap will close in ONE HOUR! If your profile has nothing there, or just the sentence "I like to craft". You will not be able to remain I this swap.

Please read the string of comments in this swap, to learn more!

Thank you, we DO welcome newbies, and hope you have great swaps! Just give us a chance to get to know you!

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

I like turtles too,,,as cute little waddling creatures, whose babies make such wild and furious clumsy dashes to the water!

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

I just got messaged by a newbie...."what Does "complete" profile mean?"

If I go to your profile page, and must scroll down at all, I consider THAT to be filled out.

It doesn't matter WHAT you write, just think of your swap partners as potential very good friends, who want to know about you, your pets, kids, crafting, where you live, and yes, anything else you'd tell a good friend, without being too personal or intrusive.

We WANT to like and know the things that you know and like, maybe a craft that you can teach us, or one that you might learn.

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 2/2015 #

The swap is now closed, partners assigned within minutes...please get your cards read your to send right away.

Thank you for your patience, everyone!

Silly question, where do we find who we are assigned to?

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 3/2015 #

My swaps are making their way to Lubbock and Oviedo. I hope you like them!

gramsbuttonbox 08/ 3/2015 #

A johns, maybe you've found it by now, there's a link in the upper right corner. The info on your partner will not be there until the swap host clicks their link to assign them...the host has no control over who gets who, it's done randomly by swap-bot. Hope that helps, and

Happy Swapping!
