Description:

I have decided to make this available to any country instead of doing two seperate swaps. It is much easier since the swap limit has went into effect.

A Merry Merry Unbirthday to you! To me? To YOU!! We all have one birthday a year and 364 UNBIRTHDAYS! So let's celebrate those unbirthdays!!

For those of you that have joined this swap in the past, welcome back!! For those of you that are just joining, welcome!!

For this swap you will list 10 items in the discussion section of this swap that you would like to receive. These can be any items, any crafts. Please be sure a few of them are easy to find. I have had some issues with a list of hard to find items, so let's not get too difficult here. You will then send 3 items from your partners list. Wrap them up as a gift for an added ounce of fun!

Stipulations:

  • No no-sends within the last 6 months.

  • You must have 10 swaps under your belt. This does not include atcs, bookmarks, e-swaps, postcards or any "rate builders". These must be package or parcel swaps.

  • I'm sorry but Newbies are not allowed. I have had several issues with this.

  • You must have a rating of at least 4.95. Anything lower then that and you've probably got several no-sends and that is not good.

  • If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me!

crochetjunkie 01/23/2009 #

donna, I am waiting to hear back from that swapper. even if she doesn't send you anything, you will definately get something from me. I always angel my unbirthday swaps. I try to always all the swaps I host, but sometimes I have to find friends to help. but the unbirthday swaps are my babies. I'm glad to see you have joined again. hopefully I will be your partner and I can send you a super fat package with both this one and last one in it. that would make your day i'm sure!! :)
we just need to be patient with the last unbirthday. once the two weeks from the due date has passed you can rate her a 1 and I will angel the swap. I feel 2 weeks is plenty of time in the us.

valleychic 01/23/2009 #

This is my first Unbirthday Swap and I can't wait to get my partner so I can start working my package :) As for what I would like to receive, here are some ideas: 1. crochet yarn or thread. 2. Mixed CDs. I love music. 3. Anything made by you. 4. A book. Gently is used is perfect. 5. Sharpies in different colors. 6. Anything from my profile. 7. Stationary. 8. bookmarks. 9. Reusable grocery bag. 10. Apron

DBlalock 01/23/2009 #

That's sweet of you crochetjunkie but not necessary. It's not your fault if itdoesn't come!

shtrqueen 01/23/2009 #

Great idea - this sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to receive: 1. swap cards 2. note cards 3. bookmarks 4. an amigurumi 5. address labels 6. notebooks 7. craft magazine (I'm happy with used or new) 8. chocolate or candy from your area 9. Interesting flavoured gum 10. profile surprise

crochetjunkie 01/23/2009 #

You're right, donnadmb, it isn't my fault if your partner never sends, but it is my responsibility to ensure that all the participants of my swaps receive their swaps. I feel that as a hostess, it is your job to make sure that people are not flaked on and never receive anything when they have sent a nice package to their partner. It's not fair and I believe in fairness.

starrycat 01/24/2009 #

I also think that this sounds like a bunch of fun. This is my first time signing up for the Unbirthday sawp, though I have seen the swaps for the previous ones from time to time. My list of 10 items is as follows: 1. Decorative Chopsticks! I love chopsticks, and the funkier/cooler they are the better! Curious by what I mean when I say decorative? I mean chopsticks that have cool pictures or patterns on them, like Kawaii characters, or anime/manga characters, Sakura blossoms, stuff like that. 2. Chapstick- I like fun flavors like baked goods, candies, etc. You can check my profile out for more info on this! 3. Beads!! I don't use plastic beads, nor do I need seed beads, so any unique and unusual beads is what I'm looking for! 4. Kawaii or Anime/Manga themed cellphone charms. 5. Funky jewelry in bright colors-just no gold please. I do have my ears pierced, and handmade jewelry is cool too! 6. Shot glasses- I collect them. 7. Mix cd's-more info on my musical likes/dislikes is on my profile. 8. Tea. 9. Oriental stuff- I collect it. Just nothing that depicts gods or goddesses or budda... 10. Profile Surprise!

ladybree 01/30/2009 #
