NON-Christmas Swap

PRIVATE NON-CHRISTMAS SWAP!

Here’s a private swap to make up for setting minimum ratings that are difficult for “newbies!”

I like the holiday season. I DO! But it’s not even mid-November yet, and I’m already on Christmas overload. Christmas commercials on TV. Christmas music on the radio. Christmas displays in the stores. Christmas swaps on Swap-Bot.

So… It’s not that I’m against Christmas. I’m NOT. I just feel a little left out because I don’t celebrate Christmas. I celebrate the season! (My holiday is “Hanuchristmakwanstice,” an all-inclusive holiday to encompass and embrace everyone and anyone.) As such, I need a nice, fun, non-Christmas themed swap to occupy my attention right now. Since I couldn’t find one, I’m making one. To all you Christmas-lovers out there, you are WELCOME in this swap! Please, join us! This is NOT a Christmas-hating swap. It simply does not have a Christmas theme.

OK, what are we doing in this swap? Well, I figured with all the pressure of the holidays upon us, we should do something easy. You will send one hand-made item of your choosing to your partner. Any hand-made item!

• Does your partner collect or love sending postcards? Make a couple of postcards! (If you decide to send hand-made postcards or cards, please send at least two.)
• Does your partner love magnets? Make a magnet!
• Does your partner love journaling? Make a journal!
• Does your partner love jewelry? Make a pair of earrings!

The item you make and send may be simple, but that does not mean sloppy. Please only send something that you would like to receive. If you make postcards, be sure they will withstand being sent in the mail. If you make a magnet, make sure it will stick to the fridge! Do not send junk.

Please include a nice little note along with your hand-made item that tells your partner a little bit about you and why you sent the item you made.

This swap is nice and easy, right? Of course, the item you send should NOT be Christmas- or holiday-themed. No red and green, no Christmas trees, no Santa Claus, no ornaments. It’s just a regular, plain-old swap.

This is an international swap, so you must have enough time and money to send a small package to a partner who may live outside of your country. If you don’t have these kinds of resources, please skip this swap. This is a flake-free zone.

This is not a profile-based swap. However, hearts (as always) are at the discretion of your partner and may be earned if you check your partner’s profile and make an item or pick colors/designs your partner loves. :)

Because this is a private swap between participants, minimum ratings are waived. :)

HAPPY SWAPPING!
