Description:

Hello! This is the first swap I've created for this group (or any group!). If you love New York City, it should be a fun one!

Following the guidelines below, send your partner a minimum of 5 items with a "New York" theme. The possibilities for inspiration are endless: there's the Statue of Liberty; the Twin Towers; Broadway; the Empire State Building; the Chrysler Building; Central Park; Strawberry Fields; the Dakota Apartments; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Plaza Hotel; "Eloise"; Brooklyn; the Brooklyn Bridge; Coney Island; Rockefeller Center; the Chelsea Hotel; Grand Central terminal; 34th Street/Macy's; Times Square; the East Village; Katz's; bagels; black and white cookies; taxis; skyscrapers; subways; Tiffany & Co.; "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and MANY other stories, movies, and songs; Ellis Island; etc.

Items you send could depict (or just symbolize) any of the above or anything else that will give your partner a taste of New York City -- and could include: note cards; postcards; stickers; washi tape; jewelry; ATC's or other handmade items; books or DVDs; bookmarks; charms; tote bags; vintage items; art deco themed items; items with an apple (for "Big Apple"), etc. Use your imagination!

Here are the basic guidelines:

-At least 5 items, sent in a minimum sandwich-sized ziplock (or other bag that meets group guidelines).

-Maximum 2 handmade items, and 2 flat paper items (stickers and washi tape don't count as flat paper items; postcards and note cards do).

-Sender's choice, but please look at your partner's profile!

-Please do not include edible and/or cosmetic items without PM'ing your partner and/or checking your partner's profile. If you do include edible and/or cosmetic items (after getting the "okay" from your partner!) please also remember to check for allergies and expiration dates.

-No torn, dirty, smelly, or otherwise junky items.

-Newbies welcome with well-filled out profiles. For rated swappers: minimum rating 4.97. No unresolved 1's or excessive 3's. I reserve the right to ban anybody who I think might cause issues with the swap. I'll angel if necessary (after you rate your partner with a '1') but please don't flake.

Thanks for joining and I hope you'll have fun with this swap!

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions, either via PM or in the comments below. :-)

I absolutely love New York - The Metropolitan Museum is my favourite place in the world! If you ever run this as an International swap, I would definitely join.

If nobody protests, I may change this to international so you can participate, Zoe.

If there is somebody planning to participate who can't do international swaps right now, I'll leave this one alone but do an international version in the near future. :-)

Since nobody protested the change, I've made this an International swap. If you were thinking of signing up and are worried about international postage, please feel free to let me know; I'll either just do a USA Only one later, or perhaps we could arrange a private swap.

Thanks to everybody who has signed up so far! :-)
