What is a napkin?

tammegail 02/21/2007 #

I don\'t know what you call them where you are. But they are what we use to clean our face and hands when we eat.

dandelion 02/21/2007 #

Are you thinking paper or cloth napkins?

memmu 02/21/2007 #

Murmel... napkin is \"serviette\", a paper one... :)

memmu 02/21/2007 #

At least I think she means swapping the paper ones...

user5648 02/22/2007 #

Oh, thank you for explaining!

Baglady 02/22/2007 #

Oh I mean the paper kind I should have put that is the decription sorry!!!!

Chinita 02/22/2007 #

I\'m guessing the napkins with decorations on it? Seasonal, etc.?

Baglady 02/22/2007 #

It doesn\'t matter to me as I use them to give a different one each night at dinner to my 3 year old granddaughter who lives with me, she absolutely loves to see the Nightly Napkin!!!!

Baglady 02/22/2007 #

And I love the different teas!!!!

user6421 02/22/2007 #

I had to join after reading about your grand daughter. I love tea, and I though my 6 yr old sister might enjoy the napkin idea when she comes to visit me. :-). Wierd reason to join, I know, but now I\'m excited!

debbi 02/22/2007 #

Just to clarify, 5 kinds teabags and 5 different packages of napkins/or single napkins? 5 packages of napkins to 4 partners would be 20 packages at about $4-5 each unless you get plain colored ones, right?

Chinita 02/22/2007 #

You know the $$ stores have some really nice selections of the dinner/dessert napkins...should be able to save a few bucks there.

cookiebear 02/22/2007 #

I took the particulars to indicate individual napkins-- not packages. Five packages of napkins could be bulky (i.e. expensive) for international mailing.

Baglady 02/22/2007 #

sorry, it is individual napkins!

lamazon 03/ 1/2007 #

Tip :If you have to send a package to Europe please wright the 7 with an extra line in the middle . Offently postmen take the overseas 7 for a 1 !

Little question : If possible can you put real stamps on the packages ? Not those ugly white postoffice things :o))) I know many stamp collectors overhere and real stamps are very rarely this days .

THANK YOU VERRRRRRRRRY MUCH

There are no restrictions listed as to who can participate in this swap. I'm a newbie and just want to make sure it's okay for me to sign up.

Baglady 03/ 5/2007 #

Newbies are welcome!

WillowTree21 03/ 5/2007 #

It seems tea is easy to come into the US, however, it's very hard getting it into Australia! :-(

FunToScrap 03/ 7/2007 #

Ladies, Is it okay to fold the napkins? I was going to start stuffing my envelopes, but would need to fold them for them to fit in a #10. Can I also send regular dinner napkins as well in addition to the party type? Warmly, Chy

lamazon 03/ 8/2007 #

Please no folded napkins . I use them to decorate items ! Thank you Miet

FunToScrap 03/ 8/2007 #

Are the rest of you okay with folded napkins? I only ask so they can fit in a standard envelope. They would be folded in half. Thanks!

FridaKahlo 03/ 8/2007 #

I really recommend sending anything of any bulk in a padded envelope instead of a regular one. the standard envelopes are not really made to handle anything other than flat mail. i've already had several that burst under the pressure of people trying to stuff them with three dimensional objects. and there is a surcharge for anything over 1/4 inch thick whether it's light or not.

arcticgirl64 03/ 9/2007 #

Its ok for me to have them folded. Im struggling myself to find suitable envies for the napkins. Using the bigger ones, double the postage. :(

lamazon 03/ 9/2007 #

the profile from " Melon ann " has been deleted !!!! If you had to send to her don't do it . she's not going to send anything to her partner . Baglady perhaps the one who had to send to Melon ann can send to Melon ann 's sending partner ?

FridaKahlo 03/11/2007 #

I was to sent to Melon ann - send me a new partner and i'd be glad send my package, it's already to go, i was on tonight and clicked that i sent my packages but they won't go till tomorrow.

We had the same problem at "little handmade bag o' stuff " Tree profiles were deleted and the swap coordinator re-assingned those 3 .Or you can try to find some swap- angels . At the valentine swap the swap coordinator did this and those who missed there swap recieved all an replacement swap . I also missed several swaps and it isn't funny at all ! Greetings

arcticgirl64 03/14/2007 #

Thanks a lot for the lovely napkin an tea swap I rec from lamazon today. Great of you to send some extra napkins. I really felt like starting a collection of napkins.:) Now I have to find out where to give the rating. It`s still a mystery to me..

dandelion 03/14/2007 #

I sent my packages off today to lamazon, Nela, MoonAsant, and GuapaMorena. Hope you enjoy! :D

arcticgirl64 03/15/2007 #

Thanks for explaining it to me DDMaree. I was very confused why I couldn`t rate like others do.

arcticgirl64 03/15/2007 #

Rachel (don't know your swap-bot name)

I got your teabags and napkins today and promptly enjoyed a cup of raspberry tea. Thanks so much.

suzylucie 03/16/2007 #

To our hostess...thank you for the swap and I love pretty paper napkins and have been buying them for quite a while. I have used them to cover all the switchplates in my house and for various other projects. I am now going to use your idea and use them with dinner. Today while out shopping I found six beautiful new packs of dinner napkins and a couple packs of very funny cocktail napkins so I hope you'll do this swap again very soon!

On a more personal note, after replenishing my stash today, I came home to find your package waiting. Cool napkins and super teabags. I can't get any of the brands you sent me down here so I'm super excited to try something new tomorrow morning. Thanks again!!

dandelion 03/19/2007 #

Received three more packages of napkins & tea bags today. Thank you brittercat, Schlaubs & Pat! This was a FUN swap, one I'll be sure to join again!

arcticgirl64 03/21/2007 #

arcticgirl64 03/26/2007 #

Today I got the teabags and napkins from Chrissy T. Thanks a lot.

lamazon 03/26/2007 #

Lob and szreader did my package arrived ? Getting worried overhere !

dandelion 03/28/2007 #

lamazon~I'm so glad you appreciated the stamps! The clerks at the post office are getting used to me asking for stamps instead of the white postage stickers!! One even asked my why I wanted STAMPS?!? LOL!! :D

dandelion 03/28/2007 #

Oops...I had a typo...they asked ME why I wanted stamps.

FunToScrap 03/30/2007 #

If you have any folds or creases in your napkins, a warm iron will take care of them. I was able to make several of mine look nice and neat!

arcticgirl64 05/ 6/2007 #

Only one of 4 partners in this swap rated me!! Have no idea if my swaps were recieved or not.
