April Secret Admirer Swap!

The first round of this swap was completed at the end of January.

Because it was still being tested out, I didn't make one for February, and was going to for March. Someone has March's covered already, so here it is for April.

This should give you guys plenty of time to sign up, ask me questions, and get familiarized.

This is a semi long-term secret admirer swap. It seems like everyone enjoyed it, so it's now going to be monthly, unless someone gets to it first.

• You must have a completed profile filled out to participate in this swap.

• This swap is international, no one is excluded.

• No one with ratings under 4, please; newbies need to message me before joining because of what happened in January; and no one with more than 1 no-send. (If I ban you because of no sends, you can message me and talk to me about it)

• You will have one swap partner.

• There will be a total of four things to do during the month of April.

• You cannot (if at all possible) reveal yourself to your partner until the last activity. If you suspect your partner will know who you are, email me, and you can use my address as a return address for your package.

• Because of the "secret" nature of this swap, please try to remember to post here when you've received an item from your admirer.

How to play:

Week 1 (must be sent by April 6th): Easter is on Sunday - though not everyone celebrates it, I don't think bunnies and chicks are all that offensive. Send your partner a nice card with a small (less than $3.00) gift.

Ideas: a small chocolate bunny, a bag of chocolates, a lollipop - NOTHING religious.

Week 2 (must be sent by April 13th): Send your partner a postcard or notecard with one of your favorite things on it.

Ideas: lyrics, a quote, the title of a book - anything that you consider a favorite.

Week 3 (must be sent by April 20th): Send your partner something handmade - whatever your craft may be. If you want, this can hint toward who you are.

Ideas: An ATC, a crocheted pot holder, handmade bath items - anything you like doing.

Week 4 (must be sent by April 27th): End of swap - Reveal yourselves! Send your partner a small package ($10 or less) to pamper themselves with.

Ideas: Nice teas, chocolates, bath items - check their profiles to find out what they might like.

The "end date" for this swap is the day the very last item to your partner should be sent. Please follow the above guidelines for posting.

I think that should be everything you need to know. Because I've made this international, I've tried to keep postage costs in mind.

As with the last swap, I will be sending weekly swap-reminder emails - this way people can either mark the swap "sent" or "not sent" depending on their preferences, and either way they've got some guidelines.

IF YOU ARE NEW AND HAVE NO FEEDBACK, AND HAVE NOT MESSAGED BEFORE JOINING YOU WILL BE REMOVED BEFORE THE SWAP BEGINS I see a lot of you with no ratings yet - consider this your notice. I am not doing this to be "mean" I am trying to make sure everyone gets something.
