Description:

I don't get many of these but I've always thought they were cute and could be used for something. While waiting to have my tires rotated, and sipping on a Starbucks, I finally googled it. Yes, there are other nuts who thought of it. So here's the challenge. Make your partner something from a free Starbucks Splash stick. I found ideas for earrings and flower sticks. But, I also thought of stitch markers, and a bookmark with a beaded dangle hanging from it. Come on - think - it is a challenge.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS: 1) One partner, 1 item made from a green Starbucks Splash Stick. If you aren't near a Starbucks and can't get one you shouldn't sign up.

2.) Send on time and rate fairly. You can not rate down if you don't like the looks of the swap. Rate only if it met the requirements and not made poorly and falling apart. Sending late means it didn't meet all of the swap requirements and your partner can rate you a three. If you are new to swap-bot sending on time means to mail by the send date - not that it has to be received by the partner by that date.

Not rating at all is not only rude, but it isn't following Swap-bot rules.

SWAPPER REQUIREMENTS:

U.S. ONLY, but feel free to host the same swap and set it up for your region.

Newbies welcome with complete profile - it gives others an idea of what to send. Here's your chance to build ratings by doing a great job.

No experienced swappers with 1s or ratings below 4.98. I don't usually drop swappers until right before I assign partners - but I do check daily. I read every profile, and I do drop people who I think might present a problem to other swappers (not regional U.S., several threes, ratings slipping, comments that you send late, a lot of resends, no recent signing in, being listed as a problem swapper etc.)

Don't join when you know you don't meet the requirements.

i guess im a nutt too because i saved 1 and i got asked by 5 other people what did i think i was going to do with the stick.

I'm really considering this one and will most likely sign up as it gets closer.

I wanted to mention I was in Starbucks today and someone asked what these green sticks were called, the barista said someone had once called them "siren swords." I loved that and just thought it fit this swap.
