*I know this sounds like something NOT needing to be dealt with BUT.........Reminder........THIS IS A USA ONLY SWAP. Your sending address that people are given HAS to be in the US.

I am sure there are many beaders out there or those who use beads for their projects. This is a chance to get some new and interesting ones that you've never seen before or are not available where you live.

The "Year of Beads" swap will soon be moved to the "The year of Swaps" group. If interested in these types of swaps, please join that group with the link listed at the bottom of this post.

SWAP INFO:

• Beads are to be sent in a 2 x 3 in Baggie. (Found in the beading/hobbie Isle of most Stores as well as the Pharmacy Isle)

• Beads MUST be Glass / Gemstones / Metal / Shell / Bone ; NO PLASTIC BEADS

• Be sure to fill the Bag FULL, not just a few beads.

• You Can MIX the Types of beads in one Baggie. This is Strongly Encouraged. Try to do more than just "Seed Beads" in a bag.

• Be Sure to Add a note with swap name and username

• This Swap is SENDERS CHOICE.

Rules:

• Must have a 4.9 Rating

• You should have been rated for at least 5 or more type 3 swaps to join

• If you want to send more than what is required, feel free. Yes the extra's can be something OTHER than what the swap theme is...but your MAIN Bag HAS to follow the theme.

• I'll angel after you rate your partner a 1 (Be sure to message me once you've done this)

• Be sure that your partner gets a 5 if the swap meets all swap requirements, even if you don't like it. This is senders choice, so it would be unfair otherwise.
