Baglady 01/13/2008 #

Yes it is, i forgot to write that, I will revise it right now!

shakira 01/13/2008 #

This sounds very interesting :)

If I send a surprise envelope to my partner will i in return also receive a surprise envelope ?????

Baglady 01/13/2008 #

You will, but it ususally comes from a different person! This should be a fun swap! We all love surprises!

hoppyloo 01/13/2008 #

bubblygreek.... are you following me?! :P

bubblygreek 01/13/2008 #

great minds think alike - hoppyloo!!

Ladievelvet 01/14/2008 #

does it have to be paded envie?

Baglady 01/14/2008 #

No, as long at it is mailable, a 6 X 9 manilla or white envelope will do

loves2swap 01/14/2008 #

this sounds like so much fun. i can not wait to recieve my swap!

Ladievelvet 01/14/2008 #

ok thanks for the answer hun =)

Sally 01/15/2008 #

Just wondering if you will be setting a minimum rating requirement

Baglady 01/15/2008 #

I didn't set a limit (but I will weed flakers out) as bad things happen to good people. I have NEVER not sent a swap yet I got 2 - 1 ratings from swappers, I emailed them both, only heard from one, re sent item in early Dec 07 and still have heard nothing. So who knows!!!!!

Sally 01/16/2008 #

Thanks, so long as you will be doing the weeding I am a happy camper :))

Jamnj 01/16/2008 #

I am new so I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks! I am so looking forward to this swap. I love getting things in the mail that aren't bills!!

katrina 01/16/2008 #

Sounds like great fun - I'm in! Just a note though that we should look at our partners profile before we send.....

Banshee 01/19/2008 #

will you ask the newbies to complete their profiles? Some of them has written nothing yet... :/

Baglady 01/19/2008 #

Newbies, could you complete your profiles by Feb 1st. That is when I will be checking everyones profiles and ratings and why! Thank You!

shysweety 01/19/2008 #

I HAVENT GOTTEN ANYTHING FROM ANYONE IN XMAS SOCKS SWAP. :( bOO HOO ME

Baglady 01/19/2008 #

what a bummer. I hope everyone in this swap doesn't flake!!!!!

yndy 01/19/2008 #

I'm new here and I want to ask if I must choose my partner of the list or if I will receive the name and adress by email? Thanks

Baglady 01/20/2008 #

On the day after the sign up date (Feb 4) the computer will pick your partner for you. You will be able to see who you send to and also who you will be getting from. But you have until Feb 28 to send it out and the same for your partner who will be sending to you. Hope this explains it.

Ayka 01/20/2008 #

I'm also a newbie and would like to join this swap. I have a question, though. If person's profile that will be picked for me looks fishy, can I choose another person that looks more reliable?

yndy 01/23/2008 #

Thanks for all the information!!!

Baglady 01/24/2008 #

No, not to my knowledge, if anyone else has something to add, please let us hear from you.

memtree 01/24/2008 #

shysweety & for those who have experienced a flaker, check out the forum to request an 'angel' - http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/2135/1

or if you want to angel someone who didn't receive something :)

The swap says it's supposed to be a surprise but does that mean we give our partners whatever we see fit or do we still look at they're profiles and kinda go with what they like.I'm just so used to fitting the requirements around the profile I wasn't sure what was needed for this one.Also it can't be bigger than a 6x9 envelope?

Baglady 01/26/2008 #

You can look at their profile, however it is not a requirement

Baglady 01/26/2008 #

Oh sorry, read your question again and a 6X9 envelope is a requirement.

YooperHill 01/27/2008 #

I was just looking at the list of players. There are many who are late sending swaps they sign up for. Are you going to include them, or drop them?

Baglady 01/27/2008 #

I haven't looked at the list yet, I will let you know because some may have a good excuse.

cupcakepink 01/27/2008 #

I'm a newbie but I filled out my profile so I hope it's ok to join! :)

Baglady 01/28/2008 #

absolutely, i am glad you joined, we were all newbies once!

girlafraid06 01/28/2008 #

Wow I am so excited, I can't wait to find out my partner.

Also am a newbie, quick question, after we sent the swap do we just leave a comment saying we sent it?If not where exactly do I post this?

Baglady 01/28/2008 #

There will be a place to say when you sent the swap but you can leave a comment too for your partner to let them now you sent it out

Ceinwyn 01/30/2008 #

Hi everyone, I just joined the swap and it seems like a lot of fun. Just have a question about the envelope though : is the 6/9in a minimal and maximal limit? When converted into cm, it doesn't seem to a be a standard bubble envie format we have around here. So I was wondering if it would be OK to send items in a bigger one.
Looking at the swap list, I also saw that a few newbies have a 1-line profile. That will make it a bit harder to find something they would really like :o/

KitKat 01/30/2008 #

Hi, I am a newbie but come with good credentials. This sounds like it will be alot of fun.

Baglady 01/30/2008 #

Hi Ceinwyn, I understand about the envelope, just get one that is as close to a 6 X 9 as possible. Have a great day!

ladycotton123 01/31/2008 #

I just filled out my profile. Sorry - I did not realize that it continued after the address. I hope that I make the swap. I got my surprise ready.

Ladycotton123

occasiongb6557 02/ 2/2008 #

6 x 9 doesnt seem like it will be big enough to fit up to 10.00 wort of stuff and using the "stuff you have" would you consider that to be newer things you might have gotten but won't use or are we to scrounge around through our supplies and guesstimate a price?
Thanks!

TTFN41460 02/ 2/2008 #

I'm a newbie and would love to join this swap!! I think this whole site sounds like great fun!!!!!!

Baglady 02/ 3/2008 #

I would say, something you got but can't use, something you bought on a whim but won't use, something you made, etc. It can be a larger envelope (you docide) but the minimun size is 6 x 9

orangeapeel 02/ 4/2008 #

there's sooo many ppl in this swap that it's kind scary! lol lots of work for you Baglady, since you have to go through all 237 swapper profiles(as right now)! I hope there won't be any flakers!

Baglady 02/ 4/2008 #

I know, I never expected this response, but I love it, I will delete some names tomorrow!

smilesandsunshine 02/ 4/2008 #

I can't wait to find out who my partner is!

Baglady 02/ 4/2008 #

you will get your partner tomorrow Feb 5th as the computer generates them

MomZoo 02/ 4/2008 #

I am a newbie also............but belong to other swap sites and have excellent credentials. I don't believe in flaking..........why cause the frustration and disapointment?

Thanks to all of you for answering all the questions that were popping in my head.

Can't wait for partner's name.

Ang73 02/ 5/2008 #

I actually have a question I know this is supposed to be a surprise swap but I wanted to try and go off my partners profile at least a little bit however my partners profile is kinda short and not very descriptive is it possible then just to send them something I choose without going off the profile at all?Thanx

Baglady 02/ 5/2008 #

It is not a requirement to go off your partners' profile so just Surprise the person

Ang73 02/ 5/2008 #

Thanx Dear,...I just realized this will be the second time you answered the same question because I already asked this.Short term memory sorry.I figured as much though and I'm done and it's ready to be shipped out in a little while.Have fun...

PiercedNinjette 02/ 7/2008 #

Shakira, I'll be sending out your swap tomorrow!

Baglady 02/ 8/2008 #

I had to answer a q about the 6 x 9 size was it inches or cm, so thought I would go into the swap and edit it to say inches, not knowing this would change the sign up date but it did, there will be no more changes in the date. I am very sorry for this.

SarahLiz 02/ 8/2008 #

Sweetone - your stuff went out first class in yesterday's mail!!

Baglady 02/10/2008 #

I am not sure why the date keeps changing, today it says the 10th, but the sign up date was Feb 4th. Sorry if is is causing a problem!

florian 02/12/2008 #

"Brown paper packages, tied up with string...these are a few of my favorite things..."

lauraj78 02/19/2008 #

I was going to join this swap as the date says 19th Feb but I see from your comments the closing date was 4th Feb?! Wonder why it changed. Ah well, naybe next time.

Laura :)

luxygrl83 02/20/2008 #

Marlena 02/20/2008 #

Artistic 02/22/2008 #

My package went out today to my partner. It's coming from the U.S.A. Enjoy!

SheSins 02/22/2008 #

Is anyone else noticing the fact that the sign up date keeps changing? Or is it my computer or something????

Banshee 02/26/2008 #

I noticed that too! There´s something wrong...

Baglady 02/26/2008 #

I don't know why the date keeps changing and I am so sorry if this is causing confusion, a couple of days and it will be the time you have to send by, I hope the date stays at this!

Cassandra 02/29/2008 #

edenhearts: your package went out today and is coming from NY. Please allow enough time for it to arrive. It is on it's way. Sorry it was sent last moment. I have had this stomache flu now for 7 days and still suffering a tad from it.

mammasan 03/20/2008 #

Iny22: I sent your package on 14Feb. Pls contact me if you have not received it so that I can resend something to you. I sent from Canada to Scotland and cannot believe it has not been received by now.

mammasan 03/27/2008 #
