Description:

NEWBIES WELCOME! I wanted to start a Halloween based swap that was newbie friendly. If you are not a newbie you are welcome to join, too! This is sort of a quick swap, so keep your eyes on the dates!

What is your favorite Halloween memory?

In this swap, you will have one swap partner. To your swap partner you will send a Halloween themed card (bought or crafted) with your favorite Halloween memory. In the card you will place a wrapped tea inside. When you get the card from your partner you can enjoy a nice cup 'o tea while you read about their favorite Halloween memory!

(Note: It is okay if it is a memory that passes over the days leading up to Halloween as long as you talk about Halloween day as well. I know mine will talk about the week of Halloween and Halloween day during a very special time in my life. I don't think all of us celebrate Halloween just ONE day... I celebrate the whole month!!!! Especially the week of. ;) )

Please describe your memory in detail and fill up the whole inside of the card. (If it is store bought with a greeting write around the greeting! Don't get a card with a greeting that takes up too much space.) You can use a post-it or a little piece of paper to put your name, username, and the name of the swap so your swap partner knows who to rate! This will save more space for you to write in the card! :) If you have handwriting that most people can't read you are welcome to type it up. Glue the typed memory inside the card so it can be read when the card is opened.

If you get a Halloween card filled with a written memory and one tea on time, you must rate a 5.

Please do not send plain teas unless your partner prefers that. Only send flavored teas!

Only send TEA BAGS. You are welcome to bag your own loose tea in a tea bag as long as you know how to do that properly with no tea falling out. NO loose tea that isn't in a filtered tea bag. If your tea bag is naked and isn't in a paper wrapper, please put it in a plastic bag to keep it fresh during shipping. :) (I am so sorry I had to edit this so many times, I just didn't realize how unclear my wording was! I apologize for the confusion I have caused.)

(You are welcome to send more than one tea if you like, or something nice and Halloweenie you can fit inside a card, but this is not required.)

You MUST have a well filled out profile or you will be banned. I will ban anyone without a filled out profile, or anyone that looks suspicious. If you have any 1s or 3s from this year you will be banned unless they are taken care of by the end of the sign-up date.

SENDER'S CHOICE.

Please list any allergies you may have below.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Can we type up the memory? if i write mine i dont think anyone would be able to read it lol

SusanSpooky 08/17/2010 #

I edited the swap for you- you can type it up, but glue it to the inside of the card so that it can be read when opened. :)

I'm super excited about this swap because I love Halloween! One question though, does wrapped mean wrapping paper? Thanks, Tiffany

SusanSpooky 09/10/2010 #

I meant tea that isn't loose tea, tea that is bagged and in either a paper wrapper, or a plastic bag so the flavor isn't affected during shipping. If someone uses loose tea to mix flavors and bag their own, or buys it from a shop that doesn't have the paper wrappers, then they can send that too as long as they put it in a plastic bag.

tsv62960 09/10/2010 #

Thanks for the clarification, although someone probably would have gotten a good laugh out of a tea bag in wrapping paper. lol

I'm not a fan of strong tasting fruit teas (citrus=yucky) or peppermint. Anything beyond that go for it. Is photoshop ok for part of the card?

Mine will be looseleaf and tightly ziplocked...

SusanSpooky 09/20/2010 #

You can use photoshop for part of the card. :)

Is there any way you can bag the loose tea? When I said "bag your loose tea" I meant it needed to be done properly in an actual tea bag. Some people bag their own loose teas, so that is what I meant by that. I'm sorry, I guess I didn't word it properly! I will have to add that now. I really don't think anyone would like to get loose tea in a ziplock.

Bluelily 09/21/2010 #

I am looking forward to this swap! Please do not give me loose tea. I prefer packaged tea. Thanks for considering my request.

PRationality 09/26/2010 #

Allergies: Flowery teas (so nothing with rose or lavender or the like please), pineapples (deathly allergic), peaches/apricots, most nuts

Dislikes: Mint/peppermint, earl grey, plain green tea (I'm okay with green tea/black tea mixes)

Likes: I really like apple teas. I'm allergic to raw apples, but I can have it in my tea (yes I know its weird).

I'm looking forward to this swap!! thank you so much!!

aneles 09/28/2010 #

Hi everybody! I will drink any tea but I prefer black and green to rooibush or mate. Loose or bagged tea is fine!

SusanSpooky 09/28/2010 #

Just a few more days until sign-ups end on Friday! :) I hope everyone watching decides to join, this will be fun! I will be assigning partners soon after midnight, Saturday morning before noon at the latest. Happy swapping!!!!!

pamelaz 09/30/2010 #

I can't wait for this. I'm not big on citrus/fruity flavor tea - I like english breakfast, green, dark - tea like that. Thanks much! :)

mwquilt 10/ 1/2010 #

I thought the description says "senders' choice" apart from allergies?

MoonlightSonata 10/ 1/2010 #

I have no allergies and I am willing to try any tea! :D

tsv62960 10/ 2/2010 #

Is there a reason we can't get our partners yet?

tsv62960 10/ 2/2010 #

Is it the odd number? I'm fairly new to the site and this has never happened before...

ps91angel 10/ 3/2010 #

NO partners assigned yet? Did something happen?

SusanSpooky 10/ 3/2010 #

??? Partners were assigned very early Saturday morning. I can see the partner I have to send to.

SusanSpooky 10/ 3/2010 #

I think there might have been a glitch, I know I checked profiles around 1am Saturday, and assigned soon after.

SusanSpooky 10/ 3/2010 #

Is there anyone else who cannot see the partner they need to send to? I apologize for the trouble, but I KNOW I assigned partners early Saturday morning, and at that time I looked at who I would be sending to. If you still cannot see your partner please let me know so I can contact Rachel.

teener1416 10/ 5/2010 #

hey spooky!

my story is so long I cant write it or get it to glue onto the inside of a card.... so i folded it inside the card. Is that alright?

ps91angel 10/ 5/2010 #

I still cannot see , nor have I gotten anything on my partner.

aneles 10/ 6/2010 #

I can see my partner fine...

tsv62960 10/ 6/2010 #

Thanks for fixing the partner issue. :D It came up after you fixed it.

SusanSpooky 10/ 7/2010 #

@teener1416 ask your partner if that is okay to do, because I don't mind, but they might. :)

@ps91angel I PMed your partner's info yesterday.

:) Hope everyone is having fun with this. I'm getting mine in the mail tomorrow, finally! I've had mine ready before the sign-ups ended, I just haven't had the time to get to the post office yet.

SusanSpooky 10/ 7/2010 #

Also, if ANYONE cannot see their partner's info, please PM me and I will give you their info. Thanks!
