Description:

And you want to join in a fun swap. Maybe this is something you've never done before, maybe it's something you've always wanted to try. We'll I'm giving you a chance here (more established swappers welcome, but don't be diappointed if it's not up to your par)!

I consider a newbie someone with less than 10 swaps. So maybe you're one of those people and it's really hard to get into swaps! I know, I've been there!!

But in order to join my swap, I have some requirements for you, then we will discuss what we're going to be doing! It's going to be really fun though!!

Requirments -

  • If you're a newbie (less than 10 swaps) you must send me a PM to let me know you would like to join and promise you won't flake. I'm giving you a HUGE chance here to prove yourself. You flake and will NEVER be allowed into one of my swaps again. You will be on the blacklist and I'll list your name in the forums. So don't do it!! If I do not get that PM from you, I will ban you when partner's are assigned.

  • Swappers with a 4.8+ rating and more than 10 swaps are more than welcome too!! Who knows you might meet one of these newbies that just blew you away with her swap!!

  • Your profile MUST be COMPLETELY Filled out. Not just 3 sentences. Some pointers for filled out profiles. List something about you and your family, your likes and dislikes, make sure you list any allergies you may have, your candy likes and dislikes, what your favorite crafts are, fave movies and music. I want it all filled out. If you don't have it filled out by the time partners are assigned I will ban you!!

  • I will check before partners are assigned and if you feel iffy to me you will be banned, if you cause drama you will be banned, if you don't have a filled out profile I will ban you!

Now onto the swap. This will be US/CAN only at the moment. I may make an international one later on. If you feel you cannot commit or send out do not sign up please!

Get a size 1 baby food jar and make your partner the bestest whimsey jar she's ever seen! Blow her away with your swap! A stage 1 is the smallest jar, i think 2 oz

Fun things to fill it with are pretty beads, pretty buttons, fabric squares, tiny knick knacks, small stickers, cute stuff, bright and colorful items. Get creative and see how much you can stuff in it. Do not just put three and four items in the jar and call it done! I want you to stuff it SO Full you can hardly close it.

THEN I want you to decorate the outside of the jar with a pretty theme. Maybe from your partners profile or something of your favorites.

Make your jar nice, make it something you would want to receive for yourself and pack it full of fun surprises!

ALSO...send a little something tailored to your partner's profile. Could be something you've never tried before like an ATC (please make at least 3 or 4 if you're sending ATCs), Matchbox, handmade bookmark, magnet,button fairy, dotee doll, earrings, coin purses, clay pendant/bead, etc. IT MUST BE HANDMADE!!!! No storebought items for this. Venture outside your comfort zone and make something new! Check out your partner's profile and see what she likes then get creative!!

Remember, if you follow the requirements and put your heart into it you'll make an excellent swap and an excellent swap partner!!

  • One of the requirements that people seem to forget is that if you have 10 swaps or less....YOU MUST PM ME to stay in this swap. If I haven't received your pm by the time partner's are assigned, I'm sorry but I will ban you!

So just to be clear...we can only make an ATC if we've never made one before right? Watching with interest.

@raeraethejetplane I would like ti if you would try something new! There is many things out there that I havent done yet...this is a great place to do it!

Um, just out of curiousity, how do we send a PM on swapbot?

weeatcrayons 08/19/2009 #

For those that are also wondering...go to the person's profile you want to contact. Click on Send Message at the top of their page! You must be on a person's profile to send them a PM!

Hi all. To my swap recipient - I will be leaving the country on 08/31 to celebrate my 40th bday. I will be back on the 12th and I promise I will not be late in sending my package out. Please don’t worry if you haven’t seen me login; I will deliver! Thanks

HELP... I must be blind! I cannot find the "Send Button" at the top of your profile page to send you a PM. I just joined your So You Think You're A Newbie Swap. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

(Also posted this comment on your profile page general comment section).

Ok..so it must be the newbie curse. I do not see the "Send Message" at the top of your page to send you a PM. Am I seriously that blind? Help!
