Description:

Since Mother's Day is coming up, I thought it would be fun to put together a package for our partner's mother. It can also be for your grandmother, aunt, etc, if you wish.

Please comment here and leave your mother's likes. Please list at least five different themes so that your partner has a nice variety to choose from!

Spend about $5-$7 on this swap and please package it nicely and write a card saying that it's from you but because of (your partner's name) that they are receiving this swap.

No one should flake on mommies! So, swappers with 4.9 ratings and 40+ completed swaps are welcome in this swap.

Quick turnaround - let's see if we can get those packages to arrive before Mother's Day - but if they don't, that's OK (and should not affect the rating you give your partner).

Enjoy!!

This will be interesting since I'll be staying at my mom's house starting tomorrow and well thru Mother's Day. Not sure I can keep the swap a surprise, but that's ok. :)

My mother's name is Martha, please PM me for her address. She is an artist like me, so lots of what I'm listing has to do with that.

She likes:

  • ATCs (pm me for themes if you like, or surprise her)
  • Non-tourist (or Massachusetts) postcards
  • Postage, including postcard stamps (28 cents) - even just a few would thrill her... she's on a fixed income but adores postcrossing.com
  • Cancelled postage, the older and more interesting the better
  • Fortunes from fortune cookies - not home-printed, the genuine article please :)
  • Prismacolor colored pencils, just a couple would delight her, she goes through them like water!
  • Stickers, rubber stamps, collage papers, etc - artsy stuff though, not scrapbooking or cutesy. Almost anything an ATC or altered book artist would enjoy would be dandy; she works in colored pencil, collage, and watercolors.
  • Quilts and quilt history
  • Mary Englebreit
  • Pretty bookmarks
  • Cat toys - she has 5, including one who's under the weather right now and can't go outside so he's quite bored
  • Chocolate, especially chocolate-raspberry (don't forget to put in a ziploc bag in case it melts!)
  • Herbal or chai tea
  • Fancy coffee - good quality or interesting flavors

Please don't send...

  • Anything related to fathers/husbands, we just lost my dad quite suddenly to a heart valve problem last November.
  • Anything to do with trains, Dad loved them.
  • Anything lilac or lavender scented, she's allergic
  • Jewelry, perfume, or make-up, she won't use it
  • Anything with feathers, the cats will eat them :(

If you'd like to see some of her ATCs to get an idea of her style, visit the last link in my profile

Yikes!! That turned out very long, lol. And I didn't finish what I was saying about her ATCs... look at the gallery for art done by Martha when you click the New England ATCs+ link in my profile.

So sorry my list is super long! Just wanted to provide lots of ideas.

P.S. She also likes inchies, altered books, dotees and other art dolls. Stampington publications would rock!
