Beach Bum Essentials: 1 beach read+ 1 mixed cd + 1

Summer is almost here!! That means we all should be prepping for Beach weather (that is of course if you're not already hanging out poolside!! In which case I say, "LUCKY!")

In this swap you will have 1 swap partner who will be selected at random by swap-bot. You will send this lucky beach enthusiast the following items: 1 beach read (books only--books if used should be in mint condition); 1 mixed cd (beach tunes, cds should be at least an hour in length with no artist appearing more than twice on the cd); & 1 beach or pool related item of your choice (ie: sunscreen, bikini, towel, umbrella, self tanner, sand bucket, a blow up raft, a cooler full of snacks, a surf board, a jet ski...be creative, have fun, and remember always send something you would like to receive)

How much you spend is up to you, but I think to make this a successful swap one should expect to spend $15-$20 --not including shipping.

To participate in this swap, you need to sign up no later than June 21st. You will receive your recipient from swap-bot soon after the deadline. You will only receive one address for a recipient for this swap. The item for this swap must be postmarked and mailed out to your recipient no later than July 7th.

When you receive your items in the mail, please upload photos to the swap gallery on swapbot or simply email [email protected] photos of the items you received so they can be posted in the gallery @ the platinum blonde life!!!

Don't forget to notify your swap partner once you receive your swap items in the mail. Just a little e-mail, comment on their blog ,or a thank you note to let them know you appreciate them coming through and that you received it (remember hand written thank yous are always nice to receive!). NO DELINQUENT SWAPPERS PLEASE!!!! Also, please note that you may get an international partner and prices are significantly higher when shipping internationally.
