Everyone loves a wishlist!!!

do you think you can raise the rating number for this swap? I'm tired of getting ripped off when i package a really nice package for someone and receive nothing. i feel uncomfortable swapping in a swap with such a low swap number. maybe 4.5 or something? what do you think?

I would love to join this swap, also. But, I concur on raising the qualification to a 4.5. Thank you, Dixiewitch for considering this request

I hate to say it but I've been burned on international swaps only because they take so long and sometimes are expensive to ship, especially using your list, teabags are sometimes prohibited overseas, a fat quarter (I don't sew but I presume that's fabric) can be heavy etc. And, to be honest, I agree with Debbi and kittenmeowmeow that the rating is low. IMHO.

I see where you're coming from mutant pengi=uin but to be fair if people are worried about send ing tea abroad they don;t have to choose that off the list and a fat quarter is just a single small square of fabric, not very heavy at all.

I'll join as it's the first wishlist I'll have been in. Will post list later.

One thing I will say though is that when putting such a long time between end of sign up and sending you run a risk of people signing up and in the mean time leaving. But I'll risk it!

Thanks for the comments. I don't mind them at all. I will change the rating though. And I will move the send date up. This is why I've asked for the comments!!!! I want to make sure I'm doing something right!!

Let me know if the changes I have made are okay.

looking good dixiewitch! back to post list when young uns are in bed!

thanks for the changes! makes me feel safer! i'm still considering my wishlist. (want to see what other people say first to get some ideas. lol) i am definitely excited about this swap.

kittenmeowmeow...as long as it's posted before partners are given it's okay. That's just the biggest thing for everyone to remember. Just make sure it's simple things...I didn't intend for this to be a list for huge items, like a tshirt or shoes, etc etc. Just simple items...I'll try to come up with an example list in addition to my own.

I love this idea!I'm quite happy with anything hand crafted or 'your counrty' orientated.

My wish list: Expired dog tags (animal not army) foriegn coins lapel pins stickers anything Hallowe'en related small squares of fabric tiny shrines/small art work a nice letter hand made cards anything that refects my user name (Princesshammerhead, as in the shark)

I think this will be a great swap-PHH

Great swap idea!

My wishes: anything with chickens/chicks/hens, packets of flower seeds (I'm in northeast FL, zone 8.5), gel pens, blank watercolorable postcards, ink pads, personalized address labels, blank envelopes (other than white), spicy incense, garden stakes, hair accessories.

My wish list:
- Any cute fabric scraps
- Blank envelopes
- ATC blanks
- Paper ephemera
- Cardstock
- Chocolate!

Here are my suggestions; small rubber stamp knitting supplies Something with a sheep on it (post card, small toy) Something with my initial Gel pens lapel pin chocolate ( a tiny amount) something you made a surprise!

Oops I wrote that in the form of a list but it has collapsed into comma-less gobbledegook.If clarification is needed I will oblige.

awesome idea! always wanted to do this one. now i have my eye on the swap-bot discussion board for the one-on-one swap-tag trade game!
