Description:
This is the 18th one and a lot of you have been doing this with me for all these months. It is fun to go to thriftstores isn't it. You do not have to get an item strictly by the profile of your swapper because sometimes you just can't find anything to fit their joys. But, please send something clean, not cracked, etc. etc. You all get the idea. Price is not the issue here, it is entirely up to the sender to buy and the receiver to just accept even if the receiver sent something monetarily more. This is a fun swap! Openned to Canada this time to see a response and sending there is not that expensive and their strike is over. This is also a newbie tryout, so if you don't want to be a flaker or dissappoint anyone come and join but your profile should look complete. I do check. I do check to see why you have less than a 4.9 rating. Any other questions, please contact me.

Love these swaps! It's great to have an exscuse to HAVE to go to the thrift store or a yard sale! :D

I see a lower than a 4.9 on one swapper and I checked her profile and reasons out and find that she got a low rating unwarranted and nasty. This is not a monetary swap. It does NOT matter how much it cost!,!!!

Aubrey you may not have logged on.

There is one swapper with a 4.7 rating. Makes me very nervous.but I believe in giving chances when circumstances arise. I will angel for this one if she flakes.

Ladydy5 - Thanks... You were right.

Can you send several small items? I frequent my local thrift shops on a weekly basis and always looking for things that would be fun to use in a swap. I am really looking forward to this swap.

I am new to this type of swap. Could you elaborate a little on items to look for, purchase and send? Sorry to be a pain. We only have one thrift store left. Tornado took out the other two.

Is the postal strike in Canada over? Because I was in my PO today and they had a sign posted at the APO saying that they cannot accept mail to Can. right now because of the strike.

@TeaNi The strike has been over for a couple weeks now, but there's a backlog of mail. That might be why they aren't accepting any yet at your post office.

Go to another Post office. Freeatlast it is up to you how many items you want to send. My swappers have been very varied. I get one item and sometimes will get a box load of items froma thriftstore. You do wehat you personally want to do to make your swapper smile.

TeaNi 07/14/2011 #

@Michelle37 makes sense. And the sign was just on the APO machine.

ladydy5 07/31/2011 #

Great! Only one no send so far. You swappers are so amazing. Now I can do #19 and feel confident. I am trying to get to #24 and then we should have a big party. Thanks for joining

Thank you all, no - no sends listed. I just hope it all arrived safely. Next one is up for signing.
