Number of people in swap:	19

Type:	None
Last day to signup/drop:	June 26, 2007
Date items must be sent by:	July 2, 2007
Number of swap partners:	2
Description:
This is a swap for swappers who are open minded and excited about being exposed to new things. For this swap you will send 2 partners 5 items. That's it! You can send anything at all. These can be things you bought, found or made. I just ask that you include a little card with your package to let people know a little about each item. There is no price requirement but let's keep it under $10 including postage. Hi, your profile shouldn't be a laundry list of things you want to receive. It's not your wedding registry! For this swap try to be open to what the world wants to send you and don't risk missing out on things by trying to dictate what people send. That does not mean you can't or shouldn't consider who your partner is, please still look at their profile and get a feel for who they are. For instance, I mention I have dogs...maybe some homemade dog treats? Someone says they love gardens...maybe a seed packet or a watering can. My hope is that by NOT telling people what you want you'll get things you never even knew you'd love! Please rate people according to the thought/effort that went into their swap and not the cost or number of items. Requirements::: + US Only + DO NOT post a list of things you do/do not want to receive. I am happy to have you list interests but nothing specific. If you have allergies or hate a certain color join another swap. + $10 limit (shipping included) + Be creative, open minded and thoughtful in your swapping and rating.

I think this is a GREAT idea!! :) I do have a 'wishlist' of sorts in my profile (likes/dislikes etc.) do I need to take it out or can partners just ignore it?

Val, I think your partner can just overlook it! I'd hate for you to edit things just for the one swap.

Hey everyone! Sign-ups end tomorrow and I will assign partners as quick as possible.

I have some awesome goodies, can't wait to start swapping!

citizenblue and krysanya dropped your packages off this evening (7-2-07 but after last pick-up) so they should be heading your way first thing in the morning!

Looks like most people are WAY on top of their swaps. If anyone has any problems please PM me and I will try and send you a little something and help resolve any issues.
