Description:

Do you have people who, like my kids, when they washed the piece of fruit they were about to eat, would take the code sticker off the piece of fruit and stick it someplace like the fridge, or the sink or the wall, or anyplace except the garbage??? I sure have in the past (and still do, sometimes). Since I've joined Swap-bot I tend to look at things differently now :)

I thought why not make a swap that will help find a place to put those stickers? Use your imagination with this one - you can use one or a hundred of 'em; the same sticker or lots of different ones. I'm giving you lots of time to collect them (just in case yours DO make it into the recycling or the garbage and you have to re-teach everybody in your family, haha). This one won't start until after summer, so have fun eating that fresh food. The codes should be interesting to see from some other countries, too, since the food will come from different distributors, plus different people eat different types of fuit and veggies.

No no-sends in the past 6 months, if you've received a 3 in that same time period, let me know why. I guess a rating of 4.8? Not quite sure what that means, but it seems to be a number that others have picked, so why reinvent the wheel?

RATE your partner (if you're not in the habit, don't sign up), and please leave them a comment about the ATC (even just a thank you). These little cards take (or SHOULD take) a lot of time to make - it's frustrating when the person who gets it doesn't even take a moment to say thanks. If you haven't received anything in an appropriate amount of time, contact the sender or at least check to see if they've sent it (under view participant). Don't give a bad rating without trying to find out what the problem is. That's just the right thing to do.

Because I'm hoping to see a few different stickers on the cards I get (than the ones I usually see) I'm going to say we'll have 3 partners and send them 1 card for a total of 3 cards.

What a great, unique idea! The ATC's can be any theme, correct? They just have to have the fruit stickers on them?

This is too perfect. I started saving fresh produce stickers on a sheet of wax paper weeks ago - just knew they'd made great embellishments. Your swap in on my watch list.

Yes, as long as the sticker makes some sort of sense to the theme, it can be any theme. Oh, Rivermaid, you made me think that the produce doesn't have to be just fruit, does it - it could be off a veggie, too! Anything fresh.

do you mean this kind of sticker sticker

or this kind sticker

Some of the stickers are too gorgeous to throw away and get used often in my crafts.Thanks for hosting this swap.

I'm collecting these and had to remind my family as I noticed my husband picking them off of the shelf over the sink?! lol

Getting excited!

You're so funny - organizing this swap! I agree about thinking differently since joining swap-bot. I even save junk mail sometimes, now! And now I will have to shop for produce with cool stickers!
