Big Fat Stuffed Envelope Swap #12 -USA

Hi to everyone, I am a newbie here and am looking forward to this swap. I have a grp on anther site where we do swaps of all sorts too, has to do with crochet if anyone is interested lemme know.

Can't wait to get started. =-]

Thanks for your interest in this swap.
To any new members...please go to the Help section and read the FAQs and New User info. It is definately worth it!

Have all my goodies all ready to send out. I know I'm a bit early but hey that's just me. I love to do swaps and make new friends.

I have tons of great goodies to share! Looking forward to being part of this swap, as I'm new to swapbot. :)

Please make a global version of this!!!

I also wish a international version of this! I would have been so fun! :)

I used to do an International version but the postage was way to expensive. :(

Ho, this is such a nice swap as I'me a newbie. Unfortenly I'me from Belgium, so I can't sign in for this one. This is really a easy and clear swap and it's a pitty I can't sign in. Isn't there no way to make one like this for Europe?

Hey! This looks like an amazing swap! Is there any chance that you would make an international or Canadian version, or could I do so? :D

Hey everybody! I just joined in on this swap, I love swaps like this! Love sending lots of goodies! Whoever my partner is, I Like to send least 2 things that they want or really like! Happy Swapping everyone!!

Hi Silver Healer, you most certainly can make an International version of this swap. The only thing I ask is that you don't copy this swap exactly.....Maybe you could call it International Stuffed Envies or something like that. If you deicide to host it, come back and put a link here so others can come join.

Signed up today and have a BUNCH of stuff to send. While I'm new to swap bot, I've been crafting forever and used to tend to overspend. Lol. Yay, this gives me a chance to share and also get a few items that are fresh and fun.

Hey all, another newbie here. So excited to use this site - love the concept and the options I have seen available. This swap looks perfect for a first swapper like me. I do a bookmark exchange in my reading group but so glad to find a group to swap other items with also.

whytewillow... You sound just like me, I always tend to over spend & over send, but isn't that the fun of it? To open your pkge and get ALL sorts of goodies, have your envelope bursting at the seams. lol
Looking forward to this, as I am a newbie too! =-]

I would love to swap with an international partner if the swap is made. To trade with other countries favorites.. oh my! I will watch for it. Blessings, Rene'

Ok i have signed up and ready to go. So now that i have my list of goodies to pack how do we know where we sent it to? This is my first one and just to excited about this!

Welcome to Swap-bot. First thing, go to the Help section and read the new user info and FAQs. They are really helpful.
As far as what happens next, people have until the sign up date to sign up, next, I will review profiles and drop people. Once that is done, the SWap-bot computer will randomly assign partners, and you should get an email letting you know partners are assigned. I will drop people if they have not filled out their profile, so newbies, please make sure you fill it in....it's how your partner gets to know you and helps people to send you items you can use and hopefully will like.

I have a big, fat 8 x 10 envelope...(doubled for security), all ready to go. I'm so excited about being a part of this crafty site, that I get going immediately after joining a swap. I also have two sunflower ATC's ready to mail as well...Hmmm, I guess I get a bit over zealous. But oh what fun to have a venue to express one's creativity. Thanks a lot.

Thought I'd throw this out there...The post office has a 9x12 priority flat rate padded envelope that is only $5.30 to send ANYWHERE, ANY WEIGHT in the contiguous US. Unfortunately, they don't usually stock them at the post office. But I went online and ordered a pack of them for FREE :

They were delivered to my house in a few days. They are great to send bulky (and heavier items). And much cheaper than the smallest FLAT RATE boxes. Make sure to order the:

Happy swapping:)

Hey guys! @wolfeagle has given me the go-ahead to create an international version of this swap and post here :) http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/112249?new=1

For SilverHealer's International Envelope Swap CLICK HERE

I'm a total newcomer! I just discovered swapbot today and am jumping right in. I'm excited!

Here is the clicky link for the padded envies @beenebag mentioned: USPS LINK

Do u angel flakers?

Thank you for welcoming Newcomers! I just joined this site and this will be my actual first swap here! I am looking forward to swapping:)

No, I do not personally angel every flaker. I do help to find angels for people if they contact me about the flaker, want an angel, and have rated their partner appropriately.

Just joined swap-bot today AND cleaned up my crafty room so have lots of goodies for someone!! Wolfeagle, Thanks for letting newbies join!!

This looks like a GREAT beginner swap for me! I have already started gathering up some varied items, and I have a question: do the postcards need to be store-bought, or can I make some? I enjoy making them, using pictures I've taken on various trips, and I'd love to include one or two of that type if possible.

Welcome evryone, I'm still reviewing profiles but should get through them all today. :) @LubbyGirl You could send well made handmade postcards as it is sender's choice in what you send. I actually prefer the handmade kind and have a series in my CRafty Recyclers group where we make handmade postcards based on a monthly theme. Come check us out.

I dropped 30 people from this swap and the messages have already started...wanting to know why was I dropped? I give you the reason you were dropped...so you know why you were dropped. Please fix whatever that is and then you are welcome to come join in the next round. It's totally not personal, and it doesn't mean you are forever banned from my swaps...Thanks so much for understanding.

My envie has gone postal! Can't wait for my partner to get it! :)

Envie in the mail...1lb 6.5 Oz of fun on its way. BUT, it cost 7.50 to mail snail mail (parcel post). Will take a week to get to my partner. Wish I'd known about those padded envies. Next time. Cant wait to hear if she liked it.

Mine went out this morning :) It cost me over $10 to mail it this time!

Mine is on the way!!

Wow..that's a lot of postage, must either be a bigger then required envelope or a really heavy one.....you can also use the priority mail envelopes for around $5.00. :)

My pkge went out this morning. =-] Hope you like what I sent you Sara.

Yup...mailed it this morning; sure hope it's OK! I think I might like doing this - I learned a lot. And I really, really enjoyed trying to find something my swap partner would like. Lord willing, there will be something in the package that will be loved, and lots that will be liked.

I sent my Envie, I hope my partner likes it... This is so much fun

So last minute...but I sent mine today! YAY!!!

Thank You to everyone who has sent on time!! It really is appreciated.

Yay! We have 0 flakes this time around, only one person who forgot to mark send but her partner has received. I'm so very happy about this. Thank you all for being AWESOME!
