Swap Coordinator:VelveteenRabbit (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Themed  Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:17
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:February 19, 2007
Date items must be sent by:March 10, 2007
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

This seemed to go well the first time so I\'m going to try it again.

We will each have 3 swap partners and this will be international. (Swappers with ratings lower than 4.0 or blank profiles will be dropped. If you\'re new, please fill out your profile!)

When you sign up, please leave a comment on this page specifying the letter of your first name (or whatever letter you want to receive).

Once you are given your partners to send to, you will check to see what letter they have requested. If you\'re not sure, ask (either here or by e-mail).

You will send each partner (at least) one item (worth at least $5) with the initial they have requested. Some ideas:

  • a set of note cards or other stationery with their monogram printed, stamped, embroidered, etc. on it
  • a key chain of the requested letter
  • a coin purse with their monogram on it
  • a (good quality) charm or pendant of the requested letter
  • a journal or small notebook with the monogram
  • a nice (not tiny) rubber stamp of the letter
  • a handkerchief, towel or pillow case with the monogram embroidered on

If you can think of other ideas, please post them! In the last swap, some of you were very creative! (I got a little book called \"The Best Things in Life Begin with A\") :)

A handmade item can be fine (perhaps you can ask your partner first, to see if they would mind), as long as it\'s REALLY NICE and meets the requirements.

Three partners should ensure that everyone gets at least one or two nice items. :)

I'm actually going to be a bit different this time and give several letters for my partners to choose from (I'm always looking for unique gifts for others). Any one of these would make me glad. :)

A, C, D, H, J, M, N or R

Baglady 02/ 6/2007 #

I need to be partnered with someone who wants something wiht an A. A company recently sent me two (Instaed of 1) things (I won't let the cat out of the bag by telling what it is) that is monnogramed with an A. I gave one away as a present, so hopefully I will get someone who is an A. I would like anything with an M. Surprise me!

FingersInc 02/ 6/2007 #

OK, this is terrible, but possibly make you laugh as much as I did. I saw this listed on the new swaps, and thought it said "mamagram swap" and wondered what we would be trading ? LOL

VelveteenRabbit 02/ 7/2007 #

LOL Fingers!!!!!!!!! That is funny. :D

user6013 02/ 7/2007 #

Looking for anything with an A :D

KristinaO 02/ 7/2007 #

I was in the last round and it was fun so Im in on this one!. My letter is a "K" or you can send me anything with my name on it "KRISTINA"!

user6148 02/ 7/2007 #

How fun! Having an unusual name, means that its hard to find personalized anything. I'll take anything with a "C," a "C.A." or the name "Carleen." How exciting!

texasbouchers 02/ 7/2007 #

I'm such a sucker for anything monogrammed! I would like an L or a B.

arentyouthatgirl 02/ 7/2007 #

This will be so fun!

I would love to have a "D" or a "B"

Cnvingltlbtch 02/13/2007 #

I like A,H or K.

dandelion 02/14/2007 #

I would be thrilled with a "D". Thank you!! :D

shopinc 02/16/2007 #

I would like either a H or M. Thanks! (:

dddd89 02/18/2007 #

D of course! If you can find Deanna I'll give you a heart! :)

Marshmallow 02/18/2007 #

Here's a challenge for my parteners. I'm looking for something with

'W' or even harder 'Windy'

Having an unusual name makes it hard for me to find things so if it is handmade that's great too! I would jump with joy if I get something with my name.

debbi 02/18/2007 #

I would like either a \"D\" or an \"E\"

wigglywourms 02/19/2007 #

an M or a W would be great...or both...lol...or I could also just turn one upside down and I\'d get the other, right?

Marianne

igobylorib 02/19/2007 #

I had a blast in the last monogram swap so I had to join this one. I'd like eith L or J for this round :)

VelveteenRabbit 02/20/2007 #

LOL, Marianne! That\'s cute. :)

(Ugh -- why are all our apostrophes coming out like this \' now??)

VelveteenRabbit 02/20/2007 #

By the way, in case any of you are worried about the participant with a rating of 1.0, we\'ve been in contact and she explained the situation... I understand that some people are quick to give a negative rating before enough time has passed for a package to arrive. Since she\'s still (otherwise) a newbie, I made a judgment call to give her a chance.

texasbouchers 02/20/2007 #

I\'m anxiously awaiting to hear my partners. Isn\'t today the day?

VelveteenRabbit 02/20/2007 #

Yup... but Swap-Bot hasn\'t created the link yet for me to activate the partner matching. I find there\'s always a delay, as if the site is in a time zone half a day behind. :)

tIREEN 02/20/2007 #

I like something with \"L\" or \"T\" :)

VelveteenRabbit 02/21/2007 #

Please don\'t forget to indicate what letter you want, otherwise your partners will be stuck and won\'t know what to send you!!! :)

Cnvingltlbtch 02/26/2007 #

Just wanted to let Deb B, SerenityRae22 and tIREEN that your stuff is on it\'s way.

VelveteenRabbit 02/27/2007 #

Okay, I finally got my act together and I'm mailing out my packages tomorrow! :) An M, a K and and M/W. That's all I'm saying. ;)

debbi 03/ 1/2007 #

Just mailed off packages for an S, a W and a N.

arentyouthatgirl 03/ 2/2007 #

cnvingltlbtch, I received your goodies today! They're awesome! Thank you so much!!

debbi 03/ 8/2007 #

DDMaree, your package came today, Thank you so much!

wigglywourms 03/ 9/2007 #

Debbi and Velveteen Rabbit...thank you so much for the lovely parcels :o) I love everything you sent...yay me!

Debbi...perhaps we are related? Your last name is my maiden name? Small world ;o)

wigglywourms 03/ 9/2007 #

Sigh...I have yet to mail my partners items to them. It's been so hectic around here...my apologies. I know I still have until tomorrow but I'm thinking I won't be able to get to the post office until Monday.

VelveteenRabbit 03/ 9/2007 #

LOL, wiggly, you're very welcome. :) Thanks for the note about the late mailing. I think two days is understandable!

texasbouchers 03/10/2007 #

Got my stuff out today, Saturday the 10th. There was an S and two D's. Cheers! LA

arentyouthatgirl 03/10/2007 #

thepinkkitchen, DDMaree, and tIREEN,

Your packages went out today!

igobylorib 03/11/2007 #

I'm kinda bummed that there are few people in the swap with ratting less than a 4. I know my luck, one of them will be my partner and I'll be out of luck :(

texasbouchers 03/11/2007 #

So I went to the PO today and missed the Saturday hours. Then I went to the 24 hour machine and it was out-of-order! I'm so sorry. I'll get them out first thing on Monday to DeAnne, Debbi, and Samantha. Thanks for understanding. Cheers! LA

texasbouchers 03/12/2007 #

Got out today, Monday.

Received Debbi in VA's. Love, love, love it! Thanks so much for your creative presents. It was much more than I expected. BTW -They look great in the pink kitchen.

Cheers! LA

VelveteenRabbit 03/13/2007 #

igobylorib, the partners who send to you all have ratings of 4.9 or higher. I don't think you'll be disappointed. :)

VelveteenRabbit 03/14/2007 #

Hi Debbi! I got your lovely package today. You're so creative! I have to admit that at first I was confused... "Why did she send me all N stuff?? My name starts with A!" Then I remembered that I'd said I'd be happy with several different letters. To be honest, I can't remember who I was thinking of when I said "N", but it'll come back to me! :) I love the way you added Nerds and Nips candy. Too cute! :D

Oh yeah, I just remembered... my cousin Nora, whose birthday is in May. Cool! :D Thanks for everything!

debbi 03/15/2007 #

Am I feelin' pretty full of myself!?! Two packages today..WOW! WOW. Can't believe I got so lucky to get 3 out of 3 when I see that some people have not sent. Thank you Pink Kitchen and Tireen, I am so the Queen of my house..this sure beats the birthday when I got a used yellow felt pen from one of my kids..Great items, I love them!

dandelion 03/15/2007 #

thepinkkitchen ~ Your package arrived today-WOW! THANK YOU so much, I LOVE it all! :D

texasbouchers 03/16/2007 #

Tireen, got my package yesterday. Thanks so much. My daughter has taken over the keychain already. Haha.

dandelion 03/16/2007 #

tIREEN, thank you so much for the notecards! I have wanted some just like that every since I received a note from a swap partner, but can't find them in the tiny 'burg' where I live. :D

wigglywourms 03/17/2007 #

Well, a was a couple of days later than a couple of days late...LOL. I've already sent apologies to my partners. The packages are all on their way now though so hopefully it won't take too long to get to everyone. I hope everyone likes what I made them ;o)

Looks like my 3rd partner flaked :o( lovemeorhatemeyouchoose was supposed to sent to me...sigh...I'm sure we'd all love her a little more if she could keep her swap commitments :o(

VelveteenRabbit 03/18/2007 #

I was matched with a non-sender, too, wigglywourms! That's why I sometimes prefer smaller swappers where you have a few partners so at least you get SOMETHING! :)

arentyouthatgirl 03/18/2007 #

DDMaree and tIREEN,

Have y'all receive my packages yet? I hope so!! I didn't get them out until the 10th, but I sure thought they'd be there by now!

arentyouthatgirl 03/18/2007 #

Still waiting for one package, but, since I know how the postal service can be sometimes, I'm not concerned yet. As for my third package, I'm sure that one isn't coming...

VelveteenRabbit 03/19/2007 #

DD! I got my package today... very cute items. Thanks! :)

Cnvingltlbtch 03/19/2007 #

i just got packages from igobylorib & carliegirl today. It was a happy mail day.

arentyouthatgirl 03/20/2007 #

Hi Carliegirl!

Thank you for the notecards! They are so cute!
