Description:

I love making and receiving bookmarks. I collect them and use them frequently. My favorite bookmark I received from Korea and I love international swaps. I'm always so thrilled to see different stamps and envelopes in my mailbox, they make my heart smile. I noticed that there is more and more USA swaps only... so sad... Well, this one is for all but USA (sorry neighbours!)

That said - would you like to swap some bookmarks? Then SIGN UP!!! Here are the rules:

  1. Anyone with ratings no lower than 4.5 and no "1" in the last three months may join. Newbies with filled profile are welcome.

  2. You will have 2 partners and you will send 1 bookmark to each partner. Bookmark can be homemade (preferred) or store bought or a free one from your local bookstore or library (but has to be pretty). To make a bookmark you can use any media you like and you will have 2 weeks to do it.

  3. Bookmark will be the choice of the sender, but please see your partner's profile for his/hers likes and dislikes.

  4. I hope I will not have to, but I promise that I will angel and there will be no participant left without a bookmark.

If you have any questions just send me a note and HAPPY SWAPPING!

I am not bothered at all that this swap is the Whole World but the USA.... :) I'm glad their are hosts for an international Bookmark Swap!! Have fun Creating!!

LOL! The irony is that this "whole world" swap is not for the whole world. Mind if I start another just like yours but to include the USA, too? I'd love to receive a bookmark from another country. A Korean one sounds just lovely.

LOL is right @KarlaKC ....LOL!!! Some folks just crack me up!!! LOL

To Peanutbutterrhino: It's just for fun, and I felt sorry for some swappers who would like to join swaps that were limited to USA only. Back in May I hosted and international bookmark swap and it was awesome. I had to angel only 3 (from about 70 participants). I love my neigbours from the south border (USA).

To KarlaKC: not at all! Have fun.

Why don't you just make it international? Why exclude USA just because we make regional swaps?

Bups 08/14/2010 #

I get this completely - shabbypink123, by making all the regional swaps, usually because of postage costs, the US is excluding the rest of the world. This way the US doesn't have to incur the postage costs. I say we need more of these type of swaps as we are excluded from so many others.

I TOTALLY agree with shabbypink123 it DOSNT cost that darn much to send stuff wither its in the USA, or internationally, we send stuff everyday to both places!!! I should know!!! Your taking the fun out of the swaps for everyone!

Plus, I know of PLENTY of swappers on here that DOSNT exclude the USA, & internationally & newbies at all!!! We may hold rgional every onces in a while, butto exclude theUSA all the time, thats racist! Cost dosnt have a thing to do with it! Stop hiding behind this excuse!

All your doing is making more people notice how much your swaps are causing people to have 2nd toughts.

Also if its regional its only open to YOUR region, NOT the whole USA, I dont think your swap is legal on swapbot because of their guidelines! Plus, if it was the whole world it would INCLUDE the USA too!

Bups 08/18/2010 #

Why don't you take a look at how many USA only swaps there are and then stop complaining. WE are excluded way more than the US. Racist means again a certain race - get a clue. The US is not a race! Please explain how this would be considered an illegal swap? And by the way - the cost excuse is not ours...check out how many US only swaps say "due to postage costs" - your excuse not ours.

I don't know why is the problem. The person who has created the exchange has decided some rules (except USA and so on...) and they are her rules. We must accept them. I read lots of times "regional swap - usa" in lots of exchanges and the rest of the world don't complain.

This is my opinion.
