... but, there's still more.

This is a swap where you send what's left of anything that you've used .. and, you've used all you're going to, but, you still have some of those items left over, and it's just sitting there, doing nothing.

So I thought, someone else might be able to use your left-overs.

For instance :

Today I was filling up some plastic Easter eggs. In one egg, I used those funny googley eyes. I used what I needed, and, now I have a bunch left.

So.. I was thinking .. We often use stuff and then have some left over ... So, I thought to make a swap out of this idea.

I thought we'd send our partner five different items that we've used, but, have had enough of.

I thought that, even though we don't need it anymore, the items might be useful to our partner.

(or just funny for our partner to receive)

Another Example: You have a catch-all jar filled with little items, or such, and you've have used a third, or, maybe a half, of the items in it .. so you have what's left over, and, might think to send this.

You could even send a book that is half-read, and you're done with it.

(it would have left-over pages that you don't want, anymore)

Get it ? --- I hope you understand what this swap is all about.

The possiblities are absolutely endless.

Please.. No Junk.. or .. one tiny sticker left on a sheet.. or one inch of ribbon left ..

Please send enough where the item could be useful to your partner.

Please play fair.

The only thing I ask, is, Please don't send a half of a bitten-into candy bar... or the likes.

If you do send something edible, please make sure what is left is factory wrapped.

Ok.. so:

One envelope-packet

(or a box, if an item you have is too large for an envelope)

of five assorted items,

that are left over from a larger bag/sheet/packet/etc.,

Sent to One partner.

This is Senders Choice, so, you might wind up with items that are not so useful to you - But - I think, it would be fun to see what is sent.

You'll need a five rating or somewhere very near to that. Sorry, No newbies in this swap, as, I don't have very many extras to angel with, in case I'd need to.

If this has been someone elses idea, I'm sorry - I didn't mean to plagiarize it.

Awesome idea. Too bad it is US only. Have fun guys!

slamophile 03/31/2010 #

Aww.. atinagrace - See you soon!

marcsgrl - Sorry but, I was trying to keep down those skyrocketing postage costs. But, thanks for looking - Please start an International swap, if you like.

I was just going to sign up when I notice it was for US only. Good luck with this swap and maybe you can do an international one some day.

slamophile 04/ 2/2010 #

Yes, well, I see there is some interest in an International version, so, I probably will run that soon. Or - if anyone else would like to run an International version of this swap, please do.

Sorry for assigning partners a bit late - Yesterday afternoon I was unexpectedly whisked off to another state, and I just returned. Anyway.. the partners are now assigned. Thank you for joining.
