Some people wanted to do the first one of these, but couldn't because they were too busy with holiday stuff, so here's another one!

USA only! sorry!

You will have 2 partners for this swap.

Go to a thrift store or flee market or garage sale and send your parters each a package worth at least 5 dollars. Going over the limit is always welcome, but please don't go under. You can either have one item worth 5 dollars or many smaller items that make up 5 dollars.

Try to be thoughtful and find something your partner would really like and appreciate! (look at their profile for this info..)

The item(s) can be anything from a shirt or cheap shoes (e-mail your partner asking his/her size,) a journal, ceramic figures, a book etc. Try to find something unique and in good condition.

Some places you can check out are: your local newspaper for flee markets and garage sales, the garage sale section in your area on Craigslist.org, Goodwill, Tuesday Morning, Salvation Army, Savers, etc

Ohhhh this looks like fun! Although I have sworn off too many swaps at once I have to join this one!

user5497 01/ 2/2007 #

Yay! I work in a thrift store so this will be so fun, anyone who gets me as a partner will not be sorry!! :D

alwaysjoy 01/ 3/2007 #

I have another question.

Are people going to post here their top, bottom, and shoe sizes? So that I can buy the right size or should I plan on something for the house OR should we email each other after the swap is closed.

Thank you

Glenn 01/ 8/2007 #

always joy, I figured some people might be uncomfortable telling their clothing and shoe sizes to everyone, so let's just wait until we get our partners and then e-mail them :)

user5497 01/15/2007 #

i think i accidentially clicked that i sent my items, but i haven't! how do i unclick this??? !!!!

Hi MS. Swap coordinator, You might need to get information from creative change to see if she ever recieved this swap from last month, as well as interceed whom ever should send to muse as well as who should recieve from her she's not sending as of lately. The other person has that she has sent already.... connie

Glenn 01/18/2007 #

I received an e-mail from someone in this swap who was supposed to send to Muse saying they'd taken note Muse is a bad swap partner and instead of sending to them is instead sending to the people muse was supposed to send to.

im sorry to the person who sent out to muse already, there was no need :\

hate ppl like that who just leech on and don't ever do their part!

Glenn 01/18/2007 #

elle, I dont think there is a way to unclick it.. not that i know of at least

Neenbug 01/20/2007 #

You are absolutely right about Muse. We need to stick together and stop these people. My daughter was the one who emailed you. This woman changes her name all the time. My other daughter got burned by her when her name was NOTHING. She is also known as Mermaid. DON'T LET HER GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!! If she did this in a store it would be theft and she would go to jail.

fairykiss 01/20/2007 #

I have no words. I honestly had trouble with mail being lost over the holiday rush and am trying to catch up and make things right to my partners. This is the first swap I joined since before Christmas and hope to be more active soon, but members like this give honest people like me a bad name. I found another one of "muse" "mermaid" "nothing".... the name was percy and was in one of my past swaps, here is the information I have for it. Please do watch out for her and report any future names or problems to admin. I know there is a way to block her but it has to be done by the owners. ami d (d= Doehring) 27430 Wentworth Roseville, mi 48066 usa [email protected]

end rant :)

fairykiss 01/20/2007 #

As for "muse" partners, Cathy and Kayla, as well as my own.... your stuff will be on it's way next week. I still have some shopping to do :) If you could please let me know when it gets there that would be great!!

By the way... HI KAYLA!! Glad to see you on here :)

cat 01/25/2007 #

Hi -- Muse was supposed to send to me last swap. I would love to receive something in return. Please email me at [email protected] for my address

fairykiss 01/25/2007 #

M, I'm sorry... I think you got the wrong idea. I have already taken on the partners for this swap that was assigned to muse in return of not sending to her. If you didn't get something from her in another swap you need to rate that and bring it up to the swap host and admin. I am afraid I cannot take on anymore swap partners for this because I already have so many I need to send out. I hope this cleared that up or maybe I got something wrong??

Neenbug 01/25/2007 #

M, I have your name and rest assured it will be sent to you! I will be sending it tomorrow.

na 01/27/2007 #

sorry, ive marked that i sent mine but i have not yet. i have everything together though! -- SUPER CUTE items, well the cutest i tried to find. our thriftstores are dumb here :(

ive not received anything, a little dissapointed. how do we find out who our swap partners are??

ae4me 01/28/2007 #

Hi Thriftylady, This swap's send out date is on tuesday January 30th 2007. I see lots of people have sent and recieved already but they sent earlie. So dont be disapointed yet. Connie

Neenbug 01/30/2007 #

M- your stuff went out on 1/29. My daughter also got your name so we put all of the stuff in one box! It is marked as to who sent what so you will know who sent it. Enjoy!

Neenbug 02/ 1/2007 #

Thanks Cathy Jewell, my package arrived today and my daughter dropped if off to me at work. I have the angel sitting on top of my computer! Good job! Jeaneen

KMC 02/ 1/2007 #

Thanks Fairykiss! Got your package today!

fairykiss 02/ 1/2007 #

Kayla: So glad it made it there (because it had soooo far to go LOL). I just got your message and sent back, I hope I made that clear enough for you. Sorry you can't rate me :(

Jill, I am also glad to see that you enjoyed your stuff as well as sharing the joy with your husband and daughter! It was fun trying to stuff as much as possible into that little box.

user5134 02/ 2/2007 #

i still have recieved anything

user5497 02/ 2/2007 #

I am running late on my swaps and I have already emailed my partners appologizing. I was having a very hard time finding anything for this swap and I WORK in a thrift store! WEIRD! Anyway, I am very very very sorry! :*(

p.s. I haven't receieved anything either.

fairykiss 02/ 3/2007 #

I haven't received anything either.... not too worried yet because deadline was just a few days ago.

user5325 02/ 3/2007 #

I sent out my package a day late - Dont worry Fairykiss and crochetwoman - they are on their way!!!!!

:) hope you like!

user5325 02/ 3/2007 #

I thought the "Muse" name sounded familiar - and I went through the last couple of swaps...and low and behold - I was stiffed on the "Slipper and Sock swap" by none other than she(or he).

I can be tardy - but i always SEND my packages!!

miachia 02/ 4/2007 #

Thanks Brenda, I love the bowl you sent me and I also love the books! The bowl is sitting on my desk right know and its perfect!

na 02/ 5/2007 #

elle -- you are my partner so dont worry, your items are on their way! ;)

user5497 02/ 7/2007 #

Oh good! I sent my packages, I hope Brenda and Raven like their stff :{ !!!!

user5134 02/ 7/2007 #

i recieved mine from Megan yesterday. it was great. thank you for the scrapbooking idea book. that was nice. also for the little turtle. thanks again. :) jessie

Neenbug 02/ 7/2007 #

Thanks Megan (thats swell). The items were great. Very considerate! Hope you get great things as well and your swap partners pull through. You had left a comment on your card. I do not send to you unless you are assigned to me. I had 2 different partners that I sent to. It is random. You will sxzend to 2 and I will send to 2 and they may not be the same people. Does that make sense? I just wanted to make sure you understood that I don't send back to you. If you don't get a package however contact the swap coordinator and maybe an angel will be assigned to you. WE WANT TO HAVE A GOOD SWAP!!!!!!

fairykiss 02/ 7/2007 #

Still nothing...

Wendelynn 02/ 7/2007 #

I sent out my packages weeks ago and emailed my partners... but they've not replied.

Erin and Keisha, when you get your package, could you let me know when it arrives?

Thanks!!

user5497 02/ 9/2007 #

I still haven't received anything... I really hope my mailman hasn't left the packages on the porch. :( I would be devastated!

CJQueenSwaper 02/ 9/2007 #

Thank You so much Manda AKA firykiss, I just love every thing you sent. Everything was so nice that you found and new that is exciting. Thanks again Cathy Jewll
