Hi, I assume we look at our partner's profiles when we know who we are sending to, so we can make sure we send the right colour buttons? :)

AnnMarie 02/ 7/2009 #

Sure, or just send a random mix you think your partner would like.

Birdlady 02/ 8/2009 #

Great, thanks :)

I love using buttons on my stuffies, so any color or design would be great--the wilder, the better!

Roostercraz, all you have to do is join the swap and in a few days you will recieve an email saying that its time to post to your partner and you just get your package ready and send it off, once your partner recieves it they will leave you a rating on your profile. Hope that helps.

LinLin 02/22/2009 #

New here and read your directions about do and don'ts but feel silly for asking but where in my profile do I fill out like and dislikes?

LinLin 02/22/2009 #

Anyway, I love old vintage buttons, the older the better and second choice would be crazy unusal graphics on button ie, swirls, lines, and lots of color, but happy with any-don't fret. :)

AnnMarie 02/22/2009 #

Hello LinLin, to fill out your profile there is a tab along the top that says profile and then edit profile will be there, just fill it all in about your self. Hope that helps.

craftymumof3 02/23/2009 #

Oooohhh I love buttons. Any will be fine as I use them on cards or gifts for friends and family.

Kicki 02/23/2009 #

I would be very, very happy to receive wooden or metalbuttons if possible :)

msscoco 02/23/2009 #

im really new at this, but im really interested in doing it. I have a nice collection of buttons in various colors and sizes. I'll try to send a nice set. But I dont know what to send them in?? I dont have any little boxes, does anyone have a inexpensive solution? or would it be okay if I just sent them in an envelope?

KimberlyJDC 02/23/2009 #

I'm starting to embelish my quilts so if possible I'd like pink buttons, flowery buttons, "girly buttons".

LittleCakes 02/23/2009 #

I would love some pink, blue, green and aqua colored buttons...please no white...I have a kajillion white buttons!

AnnMarie 02/23/2009 #

msscoco, an envelope would be ok, maybe wrap them in bubble wrap before.

AnnMarie 02/23/2009 #

Also, its upto the partner what they send.

Angela 02/24/2009 #

Hi i have sign up for this swap, i love buttons so it´s a very good swap for me... I can´t wait to see my partner... Kisses

Birdlady 02/24/2009 #

Looking forward to seeing who my partner is too :)

Lishmo 02/24/2009 #

Hi, an excited newbie here- Of course any button would be great, but I like vintage buttons. Small is good, pastels. I also like big modern, graphic-y buttons. Or something for Halloween.( not cute) Thanks

SkippyMom 02/24/2009 #

If we can't fit the specific likes listed are we in danger of being rated a "3" [for sending but not fulfilling the swap]I have a gazillion buttons and love to swap them, but I don't have a lot of the likes posted here and I don't want to specifically purchase for this swap, but would like to join.

Thanks!

grudder 02/24/2009 #

vintage/old/antique metal/armed forces..... oh gosh, how exciting! I remember going to fabric stores with my mom and spending HOURS digging through the button bins - this is the next best thing!!!!!!!!!!!

AnnMarie 02/24/2009 #

Hello SkippyMom, I think you should send what ever buttons you think your partner would like, its upto you what your partner recieves and shouldn't be what they specifically want. Hope thats not too rude. Its a button swap so any button is fine!

orode 02/24/2009 #

I really love all sorts of buttons. I've been collecting them since I was a kid. So did my Mom & I got her's when she passed away. I really love vintage buttons but I'd really be excited with anything really different or artsy. Love Color!

moosemama 02/24/2009 #

I don't need any white or black. Some 'woodsy' or Moose buttons would be fun, but I will be happy with anything.

Evka 02/25/2009 #

well, I have my buttons little package ready to post, I tried to choose different buton shapes and colors and materials...as SkippyMom asked about rating...I am afraid of a low rating if my package won´t fit to my swap partner expectations. But still I think that in this swap I am supposed to post buttons I have ( I mean I have at home and want to swap it) not that I have to go and buy buttons my swap partner want to get. If I am wrong I am affraid that I will not join:-( I´ll try to add some buttons in color my parnter wish but I won´t go to a shop and buy some in order of my partner preferences. I do not sound rude or something....and I am not going to send junk I don´t want to have at home;-) I will send pretty ones.

perkl8r 02/25/2009 #

Perkl8r, alias Dottie, loves unusual buttons, especially hand painted or floral buttons. bring on the buttons!

RainbowRose 02/25/2009 #

I, too, love buttons. I have boxes full that were my mother's and grandmother's, and I've had friends that I exchanged buttons with and then made button strings. So many variations on the theme. This should be great fun!

Puchita 02/25/2009 #

I prefer unusual buttons, not white or blacks only please.

Tero 02/25/2009 #

oooohhh I love buttons. I just joined swapbot today and this is the perfect swap for me. I have pounds of buttons. :) Have been on Craftster for some time now, just now found you guys though. Loving this site so far.

ManicSpider 02/25/2009 #

I love buttons, any type but I guess everyone likes to see something a bit unusual in their swap.

littleZ 02/26/2009 #

I like all buttons but wooden and bohemian/gypsy style buttons I like most

vampiremyself 02/26/2009 #

i love metal, vintage and strange buttons...or anything you would like to send.....i love red things, and glitter buttons too.

Tero 02/26/2009 #

Once we start a swap how do we know who are partners are and how to get their info? Sorry for the saddly new person question, I just dont want to miss anything. :)

peppermintpatti9295 02/26/2009 #

Can't wait to start. I am new to this. Will I get an email with the name of my partner?

peppermintpatti9295 02/26/2009 #

Disregard my last question. I figured it out.

lyskabar 02/26/2009 #

I love bright, cheerful and colourful buttons.

Tero 03/ 3/2009 #

Sent today, hope my partner likes everything. I have been swaping for sometime with another site but this is the first one here. It is really cool to see all the different taste and styles that folks have when it comes to buttons. :) I myself like them all.

perkl8r 03/ 4/2009 #

brodie your buttons are on the way, and you should received them on the 6th, hope you enjoy them

Basilika 03/ 6/2009 #

Sorry, I did send my buttons yesterday but forgot to click sent.

ArtGirl1 04/14/2009 #

Bummer ... my partner FLAKED ... and is now partially suspended. It's a little suspicious having a man in a button swap ... or am I being sexist? Or just angry?
