Since this seems to be popular... I will make this a regular swap...thanks for joining!

Superchou has done a super job on this in May and said she couldn't do it again. I hope you all join me in this fun and fast swap!

So, all of us who are paper people have interesting bits and pieces in our stash and this swap will move them around a little. The idea is to use a number 10 envelope (or similar) and fill it up - about an ounce - so it will only need a single 42¢ stamp or if you want to go more feel free but remember this is a one stamp swap. They can be any size - unfolded please - and a variety of patterned papers... just keep it to a single envelope and a single stamp.

You should not purchase anything new but try to make it as nice a variety of scraps that you would be happy to receive it.

This will be a US only swap since this is about a cheap quick and dirty single first class stamp swap... and is open to everyone... for new people, please just have your profile fully filled out. I do reserve the right to ban people who have had no-sends or look potentially problematic.

Paper that is not acceptable: wrapping paper, newspaper, paper that is all wrinkled up -- send something people can not only use and would be excited to get but also that are things you would be excited to get.

thanks for picking this up I love getting and giving paper pieces.

madsquirrel 05/29/2008 #

I love this swap! I'd do it twice a month if it would fly!

Midnite1961 05/29/2008 #

Me too I love getting new papers because they open up new ideas for my cards

So you are not allowed to send more than the ounce of papers that cost $.42? I just don't to get marked down for having to put more postage if the papers I send weighs more that the ounce.

madsquirrel 05/31/2008 #

If you want to get send more send more. That is why we went with the one stamp swap. But several people may only want to send one ounce. More is always welcome! I used Superchou's wording from before. If it is over an ounce it will cost you more than $0.42. I hope I answered your question.

Ok..thanks.. so sending more is ok, but not required and it is ok to have to put more postage on the envie. I once heard of someone sending more than required and had to put more postage on the envelope, her partner gave her a 3 because it cost her more than the $.42 cents to mail..just did not want that to happen to me!!

madsquirrel 06/ 2/2008 #

I would hope no one would do that here.

Can't believe someone would rate that unfairly?!!! wow..some people are weird. lol..I always thought it was a great thing to recieve more than expected..that's just me though. Maybe I'm the weird one..=0P

Would it be possible for a Canadian to get in on the action? I collect all kinds of paper bits ^_^

magpie55 06/ 4/2008 #

ONLY paper, or could I sneak in a few lightweight fibers? I just gave a lot of my scraps away to a visiting missionary. Maybe someone could do a fiber swap. That could be a great .42 swap as well.

I hope the Canadian friend can join.

Does anyone have a photo of what this swap might look like?

madsquirrel 06/ 5/2008 #

Sorry, USA only. I do a few International swap and I just need an easy quick swap. You are welcome to start your own Canadian swap.

Fibers, not sure what we are talking about. I would say one or two pieces but now more.

As for pictures, let me blog my two blogs and than I still have mine in their envelopes and I'll snap a shot and post it at the top, if I can.

madsquirrel 06/ 5/2008 #

I made us a Flickr homepage to share photos and talk.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/paperstashswap/ I uploaded last month's swaps I received.
