Description:

I'm creating distractions! :) I created the first random quickie swap on 12-23. Apparently, I've started a new habit. Oopsie! I hope you all enjoy these swaps. I'm trying to create a little something for everyone.

We will send one profile surprise package to one partner. Please use a 6x9 envelope and stuff it with things your partner would like, based on their profile. Postage not to exceed $2.

I will require the swap contents to be valued at $5. You can send items valued higher, IF YOU WANT, but do not expect the same from your partner. If you are using things you already own that your partner would like (stationary, postcards, etc.) please include a note that explains how you arrived at your dollar value.

2 lettersets- 2/$1

6 postcards- 50 cents each- $3

papers- 50 cents

5 sticker sheets- $1

I have had some misunderstandings in the past, and luckily my partners were kind and gracious, allowing me to fix the problem. The explanation on content value is to protect you, not to be a pain-in-the-rearend. I don't think people consider the value of things.

If your partner doesn't like the same things you do, please contact him/her and make arrangements for something that they would like. You may buy stuff for them, or complete this swap from your stash.

Filled out profile will be necessary. Reasonable explanation for negative ratings. Happy swapping! :)

I am terrible at checking this comments section. Please send me a message.

wow, where do you buy your stationary- where I live postcards alone are $1.50 and 1 sticker sheet is $1.99 to $3.00. I really really would like to know. I'm not being sarcastic. I feel I may be missing out on the inexpensive places to purchase.

oh, I'll send a message.

Target, Walmart, Dollar Tree, a few local shops. I used to shop (A LOT) and got alot of my stuff on clearance, after holiday sales, etc. I am a very good bargain shopper.

We plan on starting a business that makes kits out of it as well, so sometimes buying in bulk helps! I also reduce the value a little since they are stash items and not new in the packaging.

Wow.... do you see what I mean? I would have had NO idea that your items were worth that much. And that is how confusion starts!
