Description:

This is like an I spy and scavenger hunt but in one swap. You will go to a thrift store or garage sale and hunt for something to write on for your partner.

SOME IDEAS:

  • stationary

  • note cards

  • post cards

  • journal

  • recipe cards

  • notepads

  • maybe your be lucky enough to find a 2013 calendar

There is no price set on this find. SENDERS CHOICE. If you would like you could find two items that are something to write on but not a requirement. You can shop now or wait to see who you get.


SENDERS CHOICE-please do not list wants


4.95 rate with no recent 3's or 1's. Newbies need to have three type 2 or two type 3. Sorry so strict but I don't want to have to angel since it is a type 3.

Any questions please ask.

You said in the description it is a type 3 but it is listed as a type 1 on top. I think this sounds great! I will sign up closer to the date!

Oh great! I found some things this past weekend at a garage sale. I'm in!!

art3osb 09/ 8/2012 #

I found mine today. I can't believe it---YAY! LOL

pinokeeo 09/19/2012 #

I'm in again for the next round!! This is great fun!

Can you give an idea of how many of certain items to send? Like how many note cards or postcards? I'm usually pretty generous toward my partners, but I'd hate to get a dinky post-it note pad or 2 note cards after sending a stationery set or pack of postcards. Just some guidelines?

art3osb 10/ 1/2012 #

I've sent note cards but I've also sent something else out with it because there were only like 3. The guys and gals that have been in my thrifting swap are good at sending good treasures and being generous.

art3osb 10/ 1/2012 #

Maybe try for 8-10. It doesn't have to be all one thing. It can be a mixture of note cards and post cards and recipe cards. Or one stationary set or journal. Or one big note pad. If it is a small note pad or post-its then you can also include a little of something else.

After looking at your profile @iLoveMail you have a 3 so you won't be able to join this swap. It is recent.

a host should never be sorry for being so strict. I applaud you, you protect your swappers and there is no reason for being sorry for that! I think this swap idea is awesome!

I just bought a great bunch of cards at the good will but I dont know if I want to share. LOL !!! Ok I will join close to the sign up date.

can i make a journal? I only ask cause i make hand made journals using a cinch machine, but i am a shut in and not able to go thrifting. So Im just wondering if a handmade journal would suffice? If not, I understand...I can always just pass on this one. :)

Jobeg 10/15/2012 #

Its okay. Ive decided not to join this swap since i cant do the thrifting part, but i hope you all have a lot of fun! :)

marliese 10/16/2012 #

Will you be doing an international one for this swap as well? Or is someone willing to do a private version of this swap with me? I am from the Netherlands! Thnx!! :)

art3osb 10/16/2012 #

@Joberg I would love to get a hand made journal but not sure if anyone else would. I hope you can join my next one.

@marliese I'm only doing a USA swap only.

They have the new Calenders in at Michaels and they are great, but I guess that is not a thrift store. Oh well, I can be sooo bright(sarcasm intended).

Thriftstore calendars are usuallly last years and good for only making envelopes which is great if swapper makes their own envelopes and there are always swaps for that. I would love to get a box of birthday cards that they use to sell everywhere but now are very costly.I bet you find them at a thriftstore.

tannermom 10/22/2012 #

I wish there were MORE than one partner to send to! I think three would be a good number to swap. Please do this again.

raesha 10/25/2012 #

WOW!! What a great idea for a swap. I'd love to join. I'm a total "writing on" junkie:)

craftybarbie 10/26/2012 #

This will be fun saw a few things today that would be perfect for this swap. Can not wait. Have fun every one

ladydy5 10/28/2012 #

Gets expensive if you do three swappers on thrifting for anything.

art3osb 10/29/2012 #

I'm staying with one partner @tannermom but I do bi-monthly thrifting swaps. Next one is for January.

kssunlover1947 11/ 1/2012 #

Found some interesting items today so I signed up while I could. We have several thrift stores here that I try to look in occasionally.

SimonsMom 11/ 2/2012 #

I love "excuses" to go to our local thrift shops! LOL

art3osb 11/ 5/2012 #

I'm checking profiles so come back tomorrow evening to see who your partner is. Ill be finishing them up tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for getting up to #3 on the top swap list:)

art3osb 11/ 6/2012 #

I'm going to go a head and assign partners now. I didn't think I would be thru the list until evening.

Please, make sure you ship by the deadline.

Have fun thrifting if you don't have your item(s) yet!

matxms 11/ 7/2012 #

Found an abundance of items at my thrift store this morning, I can angel if necessary.

art3osb 11/ 8/2012 #

Thank you @matxms for volunteering to angel if need be. That is sweet of you.
