Description:

This is a USA only swap. Sorry to everyone else, this is just a quickie swap, and it takes a bit longer to send/receive internationally. I have other swaps that are international.

This swap is meant to receive ratings fast, for newbies and those who feel they have been rated unfairly. You can choose ONE of any item to send to THREE partners, so that's three ratings!

Please note : you do not HAVE to pick from this list - it's just to give you ideas. PLEASE do not send junk. Gum wrappers (for example) and dirty and heavily used items will not be accepted. BUT just because you get something you don't like doesn't mean you can rate unfairly. Make sure you do read your partner's profile to make sure they don't have any allergies. Other than that, have fun!

Items you can send: * A set of two envelope and greeting cards. * Two handmade envelopes. * A pack of gum, mints, or candy. * A sheet of stickers. * Anything crafty you think your partner would like. * A mixed CD. - Make sure you include a track listing. * A notebook/journal - storebought or handmade. * An ATC. * A pack of 5 swap cards* * Body spray, lotion, or the like. * unused postage stamps (.41 cents each) * unused postcard stamps (.26 cents each) * memo pad * stationary sheet with matching envelope * kitchen magnets * 1 sheet of 20 address labels (printed with partners name & address) * 1 pack of post-it notes * any handmade item * Anything inexpensive you think your partner would enjoy. * A swap card is something you send along with a swap to identify the swap they are sending. These can be handmade or printed, or both! They must include a place to write the swap name, a place to write comments, and must have "Their name AKA Their Display Name" (Unless they're the same!) on the card. These have to be at least the size of a normal business card, but feel free to be creative!

If you're unsure, feel free to ask questions!

Please list any allergies below ; but don't request anything. This is a surprise swap!

Feel free to get packages ready ahead of time. However - don't seal it until you make sure you're not sending anything that your partner is allergic to. That way you wont feel so rushed.

If you want a heart : Make it a super special package, maybe pick two or three items from the list, personalized to your partner's profile.

hi jessica! i love this swap...as you have probably figured out! lol!

the last one you sent to me was great! (btw, did you make the purse? i've wanted to re-learn to crochet for a long time and plan to take a class this summer so i'm looking for small projects to start with...)

thanks! raven

This is to Jessica: I have enjoyed the swaps you have taken the time to hold as well as the thought's you put into creating these swaps. I have been on swap-bot since march 06 and have had my feelings hurt also... It used to be I'd stop swapping for awhile then I'd see how many really great swaps I'd missed out on. So that proved to me that I was the one hurt again. So now I stick it out, silently wish we could rate persons who never leave ratings grrr... But I really want to encourage you to stay this really is fun (as you already know) I was still trying to swap (some) in the middle of chemo theripy and it zapped me down bad. So my swaps were late I explained (for some they still felt I had not done ok thus a rating of a 3) But I'm trying to build it back up. And having a great fun time doing so! If you have alot on your personal palet then maybe someone (any of us) could help you out with your swapping or hosting so you can have a breather. Just dont leave! You are a great swap host and a fun addition to swap bot... Connie

To Hello_Kitty13, gbnaabennett, and Autumn Moon:

I sent your swaps today so you should receive them soon. However I forgot to write on the note which swap they were for (Weekend Newbie Swap #4), but you'll be able to tell since I wrote that they were from indie.mom. I'll do better next time. My first swap was fun, hope you like it!

Hey Nicole, pantoufle, and teddynet... I have your goodies ready to go and they will be sent out either this afternoon or tomorrow! Please note that I live in remote AK, and although I will be sending your things Priority Mail, it may be up to a week before you get them depending on the weather here! Hope you like what I'm sending along... Elizabeth

I am resnding white cupboard's package tomorrrow, June 14.

user8565 06/14/2007 #

Package resent, please let me know when it arrives, White Cupboard, thanks!

user8544 06/14/2007 #

autumn moon not a problem....can't wait to see....:)

user8565 06/23/2007 #

i want to say that I am most distressed that your package has not arrived, should it not arrive by monday evening, I will send a third package, and it will be sent via registered mail.

user8565 06/25/2007 #

White cupboard, I just received the second package back, retrun to sender, no such street/number, and unfortunately I just mailed off the third package today, before I got my mail. As proof, I have photographed the package, with the RTS notice on it. I am using the address you are giving me, as listed on the swap and per your pm. What in the heck do you suppose is happening? If I get the third package back, I will also take a picture of that and email you with it. If our coordinator wants to see evidence of what I am posting here, I would be glad to email her or anyone else with a photo of the returned package. This is very puzzling and distressing, because I take this seriously. It is not nice not to receive your swap.
