Weekly Newbie Swap

Welcome!! This weekly swap is set up to help serious newbies get ratings quickly, without skimping on a quality swap.

This will be an International swap since you can easily customize a light weight package.

This swap will be open to ALL new swappers WITH a filled out profile. This is very important! Other swappers are also welcome to join, I will be checking profiles though. I reserve the right to ban anyone with a poor swapping history.

What will we be swapping? Anything you want. Let’s send our partners our best. Once partners are assigned you will have the weekend to create something wonderful for them. You will need to go check out their profiles and choose items you think they will love. Now this swap doesn’t have to cost much, just your time.

Do you knit or crochet? Maybe you could send a dish cloth, a recipe and a lovely homemade card.

After reading your partner’s profile did you feel like you have a lot in common? Send them a lengthy pen-pal letter along with some homemade tags.

What about a hobby or favorite craft? You could send a journal & pretty pen to a writer. Or some nice yarn for a knitter.

These are just ideas, get creative and send your partner something you’d like to receive. Something you’re proud of.

Remember to:

  • Fill out your profile, for some ideas you can click here and here
  • Create a nice package based on your partner’s profile.
  • Be sure to include a note to let your partner know who you are and what swap your package is for.
  • You do not have to send a homemade item, just remember most of us love things others make especially for us!
  • Be sure to send your package on time!
  • Don't forget to rate your partner. Everyone will be putting a lot of thought into your package, it's only right to let them know you received it and to give them the rating they deserve.
  • Please contact your partner before rating anything lower than perfect.
  • Please ask questions, I want everyone to have a wonderful swapping experience!
