Description:

This is round 2 and it has a theme, so you'll need to put 4 napkins in the envelope instead of 5x2 this time.
This round we'll swap napkins featuring things that can be related to our kitchen [food, drinks, teapots, silverware, kitchen appliances... you get the idea]

I do some napkin decoupage here and there, as it is something easier and so inexpensive for the great results it can give. If this is also your case or you simply like to collect nice paper napkins or show some special ones next to your cup of coffee/ tea, hop in!

------------------ TO DO: -----------------
* You have 1 partner
* You send 4 paper napkins (minimum of 2 different designs, so 2 can be doubles, sometimes 1 is not enough for all the ideas you have for that design :) )
* The swap is international
* Newbies/ unrated swappers are welcome as long as their profiles are well filled (only 2 phrases don't tell me you're really interested). If you have recent 1s and/ or unexplained 3s, PM me.
Please send out some that would make your day if you would receive them, there are a lot to choose from, I believe, in all corners of the world. Also, try to make them fit your partner's style, as you can tell from their profile. If there is something you don't want to receive (in matter of colors, particular displayed items etc.), please post it below in the comments or make sure it's visible on your profile. Also, after partner assignment, make sure that you check here in the comments as well as on your partner's profile if they've mentioned anything related to what they don't want to receive. If there's anything unclear, comment or message me.
Hope it won't be the case, but I'll try to angel if it's needed.

Have fun swapping! :)

PS: Talking to @CraftyLass that was a participant in round one, came with the idea of a next swap to send items altered with paper napkins (ideal, with ones received in swaps around here), so get working on some :D

I love the idea of doing a swap of items we made with napkins from the last swap. I'll be looking for the swap.

Great, then maybe I'll host it next month, so people get the chance of receiving the napkins (specially the ones that didn't participate in first round)

I usually peel off a layer or two of tissue from the napkin/serviette so that I can send more without extra postage (I'm in Australia so just about everything I swap is international and dearer to post)

Awesome idea for round three!!! Love the theme!! We should also doa garden one too! Thanks for organizing this swap! So much appreciated! :o)

@stampmom9 - The garden theme is next one on the list :D there are about 7 or 8 in my list, so hopefully will cover all wanted themes, but do let me know what else you guys are wishing :D

@whisperwings - I was one of your lucky receivers, the idea is really good, as (for me at least) the weight of a napkin can double the postage. If anybody wants to receive their napkins with all layers coming along, post it here

Thats a fantastic idea to lower the weight for postage. When I am using napkins I only use the 1 ply anyways.
