Description:

I remember being a newbie and waiting for swaps I could do to get rated. So here's one for all the newbies out there.

Pick TWO different items from the following list and send it to your partner. All these items are not too expensive to buy or ship.

  • A fat quarter
  • A card of buttons
  • A roll of ribbon
  • A yard of lace
  • 6 skeins of embroidery floss
  • A rubber stamp
  • A sheet of rub-on or sticker letters
  • A useful handmade item (like a needlebook, bookmarks, etc. - something that isn't just decoration but can be used)

This swap is open to all newbies and even those swappers with ratings. I won't be banning anyone unless it's someone I know to be a known scammer. I am sorry but I am going to keep it US only. If there's enough interest, I can always do another one that is international. This swap is going to have a quick turnaround so you all can get rated pretty quickly.

Here's why I call it "At Your Own Risk" swap. If you don't get something from your partner I will not be swap-fairy-ing this swap. But if you do get stiffed, I will heartily recommend you filing a mail fraud claim with the post office and will give you the information to do just that.

I think this is a great way to get some new swappers into the fold and have some fun doing it. Let's get swapping!

Please don't forget to fill out your profiles. It makes it easier for your partner to pick something for you.

I'll join an international swap

welovepandas 04/ 1/2007 #

I'd love to do an internatinal version :)

ellawitch 04/ 1/2007 #

i didn't do an international one this time out as it is hard to file mail fraud overseas (if it is even possible?) but since there seems to be interest, i will do an international one - it will have different dates so if people want to join both they are staggered.

eclecticamiami 04/ 2/2007 #

this newbie is looking forward to it!

niecedenise 04/ 3/2007 #

I'll join the international one too. Thankyou. Not A newbie, but i was once upon a time.

gatorsmom 04/ 3/2007 #

I'm so excited. It's been years since I've participated in a swap. Where/how do we see the address to send our items to?

niecedenise 04/ 3/2007 #

It will be posted above- see your partners. But not until the day or so after the signup by date.

For those of you who haven't, please FILL OUT YOUR PROFILE WITH LIKES AND DISLIKES! we aren't psychics (or at least i'm not) and it will help your partner out alot in picking out something for you that you might like..... thanks!

rilke891 04/ 8/2007 #

Yes! I am in...Yes I am newbie, proud of it to. Lets get swappin..

girlonaglide 04/ 9/2007 #

AmyKitten... your mailing is going out today!

Sharpie 04/ 9/2007 #

I'm a newbie, do I need to tell my partner I mailed out the goods or stay unknown, or is it that my partner has me too and this is already known? I read in FAQ that it is a random generation, but I didn't know if it is that who you get for a partner gets you too? Maybe that is why they are called a partner.. I dunno! :D I hope I did okay..

niecedenise 04/ 9/2007 #

You dont get the same person who gets you. And as for telling your partner when you send their swap thats up to you. Some do and some dont. Some people like being surprised and some dont. Its just your personal preference. But most everyone likes to know that their swap has been received. Hope that helps.

JMP2cute4U - your little package is on it's way - hope you enjoy!!

Sharpie 04/13/2007 #

I hope my partner gets her package today. I mailed it out on Monday, and haven't heard anything back yet. I am starting to get antsy and worried if it is going to get there.

Sharpie 04/13/2007 #

sorry to ask so many questions.. what is that launch gallery slide show? Is there a way to post pix of what you sent or something? I've seen on the front page to add a tag on flickr uploads..

gatorsmom 04/13/2007 #

Thank you Linda, I received my package today and I will be using everything in it! It may sound silly, but I love the tiny screwdriver, it came at the perfect timing! I have a favorite pair of sunglasses in the desperate need of attention....and guess what I fixed today!? Thanks again.
