This is a quick turn around, US only swap. To join this swap, please have completed at least 5 swaps and have a rating of at least 4.75 with zero no-sends. If you do not meet these requirements, please PM me before joining.

You'll be sending a package of flowery goodness to your partner. Please list your favorite flowers (3-5) below so your partner can try to find items with those types of flowers. No price restrictions or restrictions on the types of items you can send. Be creative and put together a magical package that you would be pleased to receive.

Handmade items, stationary, rubber stamps, embellishments, floral ribbons, floral themed art work or ephemera, etc. are all good options. But don't feel limited to these items.

Happy swapping!

I LOVE FLOWERS. WHY ONLY USA. ?:(

Now this sounds like fun... I have a lot of things with flowers on them.... I am not sure which flower I like the best... I think I like a combination of many (like a field of wild flowers, or some magical looking wonderful mixed bouquet..)

Sorry Rachel...it's a quick swap and foreign mail take a bit longer.

blissfulmama 06/27/2007 #

My absolute favorites are orchids, lilies, and poppies. They can be hard to find though. I like all kinds of flowers though.

denisemichelle 06/27/2007 #

I love forget-me-nots (so much so, that I have a tattoo of three on my ankle), lilacs, cherry blossoms, honeysuckle, hyacinth, daisies, and poppies. I realize that's more than three, but really, I'm happy with anything- except lavendar, which unfortunately gives me an instant sinus headache (even though it's renown for aiding in headaches and migraines, go figure!)

blissfulmama 06/28/2007 #

Oooooh...I'm updating because I forgot to mention cherry blossoms!

blissful_mama's most favorite blooms:

  • orchids
  • lilies
  • cherry blossoms
  • poppies

Thank you for reminding me Denise!

denisemichelle 06/28/2007 #

Well, blissful_mama, I have to say, I hope I get you as a partner, because I can think of something to give you already for each of your favorite flowers!!

harleygirl 06/28/2007 #

I love gladiolas, lilacs, petunias, daisies...all of them! But, what if we have a hard time finding our partners likes? (I live in a very small area.) Of course I'll do my best! But if something is really hard to find, are other types okay, too? My partner can send me anything! I'm not picky at all, and I think the surprise is more fun!

blissfulmama 06/28/2007 #

harleygirl - All things flowery will work great. The list of faves is simply to give you something extra special to keep your eyes out for.

rengawk 06/28/2007 #

This looks sooo fun, I'll have to run out to get some awesome embellishments for my partner!

  • gerbera daisies
  • orchids
  • cherry blossoms
  • sunflowers
  • iris
  • lilies (hee tiger lilies are in bloom along the roadside cirrently here)

Aw heck I love everything, especially macro pictures if you have any to share. I'll always bugging my sweetie to take pictures of every flower we come across when were out with the camera. see here and here =)

Gayle 06/29/2007 #

I looove flowers of all kinds, but my absolute, total favourite by far are lilacs. I also love roses, tiger lilies, violets, and well, everything. I never met a flower I didn't like.

harleygirl 06/29/2007 #

Should this package be a box or a big envelope? I like to send boxes, but I'm checking because I did get ripped off recently. So this time I'm doing what everyone else does! Hee!

blissfulmama 06/29/2007 #

It can be a box or an evnie...this swap was not neccessarily intended to be a high dollar swap, which is why I did not set a price.

What you choose to spend is up to you, however I do ask that you make sure your package is one that you would be happy to receive. I hope to open my package and feel like it's a mini flower garden sent just for me and to create a package that will make my partner smile for the same reason!

clholmberg 07/ 1/2007 #

I especially love lillies, petunias, snapdragons, roses, water lillies, & tulips. I am a big ATC/scrapbooker/cardmaker, so I would love any items I could use in my crafting.

Curbshopper 07/ 1/2007 #

My favorites are daiseys, sweet williams and cabbage roses. This looks like a fun swap....can't wait to get started!!

creativemuse 07/ 1/2007 #

krysanya - mailed your package of flowery goodness from Texas today. Enjoy!

denisemichelle 07/10/2007 #

harleygirl,

Thanks so much- what a great package! I've already used the stationery to write notes to put into all the swaps I'm sending out today!

Did you take photos of everything to put up in the swap gallery? Otherwise I'll try to do that this evening.

harleygirl 07/10/2007 #

No, I didn't take any pictures. But I'm so glad you liked it all! This was such a fun swap! I enjoyed picking it all out for you.

rengawk 07/10/2007 #

Poor harleygirl has to wait for tomorrow for me to mail, because I'm stuck here waiting for UPS to arrive with an important delivery (argggg)! Tomorrow it'll be on its way, and it only has a few zip codes to cross, so it should be there soon! =)

denisemichelle 07/10/2007 #

I agree, this was a really fun swap to find and make things for!

harleygirl 07/11/2007 #

Maybe you (Blissful Mama) should do another one! It seems to be a hit!

rengawk 07/11/2007 #

Harleygirl's is on the way! Sorry for being the last to hit send!

rengawk 07/13/2007 #

Hee I uploaded the great swap I received from blissful_mama, guess it was a bit -too- bright outside, but I tried!

harleygirl 07/13/2007 #

I got a nice one from krysanya today. Yay! Seriously, we should do "flowers #2"!

blissfulmama 07/14/2007 #

I got a lovely package from YooperHill. I will be adding pics to the gallery slideshow of the package soon. Everyone else, please add pics of your sent/received if you can. Thanks!

So glad everyone liked their goodies. This was a lot of fun and I will definitly do this one again soon.

creativemuse 07/22/2007 #

WOW DeniseMIchelle YOu really do nice items I was so excited when you posted the pics in anticipation and voila even more wonderful than the pictures...The smell of violets reminds me of my Grandma Jeanne. I put the violetmints in with the ribbon I used to make a ribbon corsage for my mom for her bday. G. Jeanne was her momma....Nice rememberance and very very awesome swap! thank you
