Paper Crafters GiveAway

I swap because I love creating and sharing that creation with others who understand the love of crafting...

I swap because I am addicted LOL but really I just love sharing my life with others and learning about other people's lives and cultures.

I swap because I enjoy sharing art and supplies, and I love getting surprises in the mail! I meet new people, and some have become good friends!

Art should be shared, we all need a place to practice safely and hone our skills, but I LOVE sending special mail to people!

I swap because: 1) it's fun 2) it feels good to send off happiness to other people and 3) it's a stress reliever for me!

Im new to swapping, but I swap because I'm a stay at home mom and I was looking for some people to trade mail with. I enjoy crafting and wanted to trade pocket letters and flip books. lets face it- any mail besides bills is awesome mail!!!!

I swap because I love putting a smile on peoples' faces and brightening their day with fun snail mail! 💕

I swap because I enjoy sending happy mail and, of course I enjoy receiving it too. Sometimes it's fun to send RAKs to people just to surprise them.

I swap because I love getting fun mail and new and different materials to craft with and add to my art journals. I also enjoy sorting through my stash and finding things that other people might enjoy using in their crafts!

I started swapping because I love getting all kinds of mail (except bills). I wanted a place to send my cards & crafts because my card making was getting out of hand, too many cards & no where to send them. Two of my sending sites closed so I was disappointed (Operation Write Home & Hope for Kids).

I swap because I love paper crafting, learning new ideas and the friendship made with my fellow swapers. I love to bring a smile to others even though I can't see it, but every time I get a heart I feel like I may have made that person smile.

I swap because I love sharing what I create with others. I love to see what others make as well. It is fun to receive items in the mail !

I love to swap because I love snail mail! I also love brightening someone's day with a cute postcard or greeting card in the mail! Spreading happiness and cheer to others makes me happy too!

What a unique idea here! I swap because it brings me joy to be able to connect with people. I have social anxiety and have a hard time in RL interacting with others. Here I am able to get to know others through a safe means. I love doing things for others and being here on the swap bot has enabled me to do for others. It is then I am truly happy.

I swap one because i love crafting and i also love snail mail. But the main reason I started swapping more, recently is because i needed a healthy hobby/outlet to allow me to get out of my head and connect with people who have similar interests as me.

Why do I swap? Why not? Lol I love swapping to get inspiration and hopefully share some with others. Most of the time, being a busy mom, they are small enough artsy projects that keep me going creatively. Thanks for the fun swap it’s a great idea!!

I love to swap because I love to share my collections with others. I like to use my collections in an art journal, but I love to share my treasures and discover new ones with people!

I Swap because I have always loved to give gifts. I always add extra into my envelopes. If someone finds pleasure in my swap, I get a warm and cozy feeling. I don't have a wide range of friends (I am a small group person) and I consider the swappers on her to be my friends. No hang out pressure but able to enjoy the good feelings I get when swapping.

Hi, what does swapping mean to me? Well I am a college student who is struggling to keep a float in life and in school. I have my friends and I have my church family but when I get to read letters about other peoples lives I get to escape mine for a while or I get to brighten someone elses life with fun stickers and little notes. That is what swapping means to me.

I swap because I love learning about people. I love sending something that may be small but has the power to turn their whole day around.

This is such a fun idea for a swap! I swap because it’s such a fun and creative way to interact with others! It’s a rare treat to meet so many people in the same space that share similar interests! And I love the treasure hunt of reading a partner’s profile and finding fun items, colors, etc from their listed likes to send! The swaps I have received are very inspiring! Thank you for hosting this terrific swap!

I think this is a very nice thing to do! I just started swap bot and I am so amazed at the wonderful swappers!! This is very nice for new swappers who are just getting started and do not have many items to swap or even don't know what to swap!!
