Ahh those pleading glassy eyes, that wrinkled fur, the crooked ear, a silly stitched on smile..How Can you Resist? If you are a true TSTH as I am you just HAVE to rescue a few of those UnWanted, UnLoved Stufffed Souls from grubby fingers that toss them in the shoe aisle. Don't you? For this Swap you will send to ONE Partner . You will carefully select ONE Good to Excellent Condition Stuffed Animal . One that brings a Smile to your lips and tugs on that Inner Child Playfulness. One you just have to hug! You know the type! No rips, Smells, Stains, teethmarks or other nastiness. (On the Stuffie!) Due to shipping costs swap will be USA /Canada Only. I am not going to put a price limit as I know Stuffies can vary. Go with Cute and what fits in your shipping box. Please read your partners profile for ideas or dislikes. This Swap is open to Newbies and All with No" No Sends/Flake Alerts" or other bad Swapper Issues. Hostess reserves the right to interrogate, investigate, Ban and Shake the Finger of Shame at you. Thou Shall Not Flake. Thine Name shall be Listed Boldly if one does! Please Communicate if there are any difficulties. We all know things can happen.but you need to communicate. Thank you! Any Questions Please Holler, Loudly. Thanks for Looking here! Thanks to Grimmy for the original idea for this Swap.

the toy aisle is the saddest aisle in the store for me -- I try to avoid it for this very reason -- too many cute faces wanting to go home with me. I limit myself to buying the smallest ones, removing the stuffing & replacing it with lavendar or scented bath crystals, sewing them up & using the for sachets. They make great gifts :)

Hmmmm...not sure that this is my idea. But I did send to you in the first round, so maybe that is what you are thinking. :-) How is Olivia, the shiny, sparkly blue octopus by the way?
@BassetMama actually introduced the idea of rescuing these poor, helpless orphans. Great idea PaperGoddess! Maybe down the line we can have a swap for an altered stuffie. :-)

Ahh perhaps that is what i was thinking. well Kudo's to the originator. (BassetMama) I just found an adorable elephant and brought it home, and was reminded of how much fun that swap was..... Olivia is doing well......she sits in the upstairs bathroom....directing traffic

I would love to join the swap; however, right now I am getting ready for my Great Dane to have her puppies and I will be busy with puppies after that for the next 6 (?) weeks or so. I am afraid to commit to a swap and then not have the time to follow through or to do a poor job on my swap. Better to wait until I am past the puppies.

Please Note I am going to be out of town until the 19th, and will assign partners when I return , that evening Thank you for your understanding

I just joined this group, and this is going to be my first swap with you guys! I'm super pumped and can't wait to add another squishy stuffy to my collection! :D

i was watching this swap just in case i came across some sweet little needy creature on one of my thrift store hunts...and sure enough, there she was, practically jumping into my basket with excitement at the possibility of finally finding a loving home! I am trying not to get TOO attached to her... I better sign up quick so I'm committed to sending her home to one of you! :)

That happened to me last time! I brought home an armful of stuffed animals and decided I would part with the one that seemed best suited to my partner, but the rest I kept all for me. :-)
