Have you seen the cool swap @btbeth is hosting? If not, clickity click here.

Let's do it - but with a few adult-friendly changes!

The Swaparoo in a Nutshell

  • Create a surprise ball for your partner Look at the tutorials in this clickity click link. You'll need crepe paper and goodies.

  • Use at least two different colors of crepe paper More is great, but two colors at least to make the unraveling interesting.

  • Enclose at least 5 small gifts for your partner in your surprise ball Unlike the original swap, your gifts will be aimed at an adult. Craft items, jewelry, a shot glass... it's all good, as long as it's something that an adult would like. In other words, no toys.

  • Size should be around the size of a softball/grapefruit/large orange. Yeah, I know - balls aren't that big in real life. Sometimes life just ain't fair.

  • Decorate the front of the ball in some form or fashion Nobody likes plain balls. Nobody.

  • No food or tea It's summertime - food will probably melt, and tea is just unimaginative.

  • Be sure to package these well and include your Swap-Bot Nickity-Nick-Nick and the name of the swap (you know, in case someone isn't sure why they're getting a ball in the mail...).

Now you can start this thing early if you'd like as it's not a profile-based swap.

The Pesky Little Ratings Rules

Late swaps on your dash? You're out. Problem swapper? You're out. Recent 3s? Yeah, you guessed it - you're out. And don't even bother if you have a 1. One caveat: if you have a retaliatory 1 or an unfair 1 from a swaplifter, PM me with the deets. I know not everyone out there is nice!

I'm joining this swap bc this is literally the best swap description I have ever read!!

Wow! ~ I totally agree with @Chromia !!! ~ Great Job!!!

I would join, but . . . . I have a problem with tardiness. Sounds like fun though!

Chromia 07/15/2016 #

Just wondering, since swap time is quickly approaching, and this is my first...... how exactly IS the best way to package this sucker? (By the way, totally fun to make!)

@Chromia - I would just find a box that it will fit into. Everything should be secure since its encased in the crepe paper, so no real damage can be done in shipping. I might use a clear envie for mine, so people can see what it is, lol,

"Yeah, I know - balls aren't that big in real life. Sometimes life just ain't fair." BEST.SWAP.LINE.DESCRIPTION.EVER.

Just one ball? Seems strange to only have one...but at that size...on should be enough!

Great description!
