Description:

This is a swap patterned after the swap set up by rbeforee so, as she requested, she can give up the swap she was hosting to get herself caught up.

What is a White Elephant you ask?

Traditionally, a "White Elephant" is something lying around the house that you don't want. Some item that someone gave you as a gift that just doesn't fit your personality or your liking. Or some item you just plain want to get rid of for whatever reason.

If you received beads that you consider ugly, or something pseudo-kawaii (strange knock-off, just plain not cute), or a picture frame that's just too cutesy for your tastes, etc, etc, etc, someone may treasure these items!

Whatever you want to purge from your stash, here is an opportunity to send it off and hope someone will find inspiration from it.

You will send to 2 partners. The value and theme of the item is not limited, because of the nature of this swap.

DO NOT JOIN this swap if you cannot laugh at yourself, as you could receive something you sent out.

DO NOT JOIN this swap if you are vindictive and will be angry if you receive junk.

DO NOT JOIN this swap if you do not understand the rating system. Nowhere in the rating definitions does your affection for the item come into play. If your partner sends something to you, on time, the swap requirements are fulfilled and that rates a 5.

This is supposed to be fun. No whining or complaining. You must be able to laugh about what you get, and marvel at it in all its white elephantness. AND you must not be offended if something you have sent out becomes a part of this swap.

No requests. No "do not want" lists. One exception - If you have allergies, please post below. And NO, you cannot be allergic to ugly!

Try to resist sending scathing remarks with the item, just in case your partner LIKES what you send to them.

This swap is for swappers with a rating of 4.8 or higher, at least 3 rated swaps (mailed swaps), and no swaps outstanding more than 3 days at the close of the signup period. You must have also logged onto Swap-Bot during the past week of the close of the signup period. This let's me know that you're still around.

If you have any concerns with anyone who has joined, please let me know.

Questions, please PM me, as sometimes I don't see the comments below for a while.

I do have a very real allergy to tobacco smoke and to chemical fragrances.
