I did not put specific amounts by the content choices. This is because to fulfill the construction part you will need different amounts of either things or effort.
There is literally no reason not to sign up for this swap. I expect all 50 of you other members to join me.

edit: for clarity I reordered the lists and added a few more instructions.

I'm obtusely confused.

@graciepie49 you go through the list and pick what you want to do. So you pick two things from the contents section to include in your swap, then you pick from the options what kind of swap you want to make and so on!

It's a "send whatever you want (from these options)" type of thing.

oblivionspin 06/ 5/2016 #

Admittedly I could have stood to list the construction first. I will probably reorder the list in a bit and add a few more instructions to ease any confusion.

oblivionspin 06/ 5/2016 #

Ok, edited the swap slightly, hope that helps clear up any confusion!

Honestly, if something is a swap requirement, it can't be considered an "extra" - can it?

oblivionspin 06/ 6/2016 #

@bombardiette It's a swap making fun of swapping a little bit. A little like the "why I sent late" or "I would join this swap if" swaps. No, it's not technically an extra, no you don't actually send late, yes you actually join the swap... etc.

Tongue in cheek.

(Also, you will notice the word "extra" below the section header is in quotes! Boom! Covered that base ahead.)

Just for clarification, I plan to tear the page of the coloring book out neatly, but put on crappy stickers and ask the recipient to :Get Bent" on top of it in Sharpie, skip the second item and send a penny that I sat on.

oblivionspin 06/ 7/2016 #

@rngstgstll Did the jeans you were wearing when you sat on the penny have a fancy design on the butt?
Maybe add in some potato chip crumbs from under your seat cushion and you'll get a heart.

rngstgstll 06/ 7/2016 #

Awesome, I'm in.

oblivionspin 06/15/2016 #

bigmamabird 06/18/2016 #

Yessss...

rngstgstll 06/23/2016 #

I just want to state publicly how amazing bigmamabird is. I need to take a picture of this!

Angie 06/23/2016 #

Oh crap. I missed it.

oblivionspin 06/24/2016 #

omg. @rngstgstll I just read the rating you left @bigmamabird PLEASE share a picture somewhere! Wet wipes and kethup packets? My my.

@Angie do not despair. I will happily rerun this swap in a couple months so you can join in the insanity. I live to host crap like this.
