Use it or pass it on

I love swapping, really do, but I'm starting to develop a box of received bits which although I really appreciate them simply aren't me, or which I can't think how to use. Anyone else the same? Thought so.

So here's the idea...

Send your partner a letter or notecard which can be store bought or handmade but * must * be at least partly decorated with something you have received in a swap (washi tape, ribbon, stamped images...).

Also send 3 small treats.

I know some people are more prolific swappers, whilst others may have uses for more of their received treats, so the rule here is * ONE * or more treats must have been preswapped.

If you are crafty and actually want to use all your swapped bits, an ATC using one or more received bits counts as two treats. Please make it clear to your partner in this case what was received and what is your own work.

Treats can be anything and everything, but if you're sending stamped images or cuts outs 3 count as one treat, if you're sending on someone else's work (eg you've received earrings in the past but don't have pierced ears) don't let your partner believe it's your work.

This is not a way to get rid of tat. If it's not in a condition you'd like to receive it, don't be mean.

Please have a rating of 4.9 or above. One partner only.

I want to emphasise that this is not meant to offend anyone. If you receive something back you'd sent, it just suggests your partner didn't have use for it at the time.
