Description:

Alright, so. A lot of us have expressed interest in joining this swap, but the host doesn't seem to be active on this site anymore. In an attempt to let all the people interested in joining participate in a swap with an active host, I've decided to create a similar, slightly smaller version of the swap. Should @Sparkles come back to fulfill her hosting duties I will apologize!

For this swap you will fill a "whimsey box" with all sorts of Halloween goodies. Although the size of the box you send is up to you, there is a minimum amount that you must send: enough to completely stuff the smallest Flat Rate Priority Box.

NOTE: You do not have to send in a flat rate box; I am merely using this size as an example of how many goodies you will be expected to send. If you want to go as big as the original "shoe box" that is fine, but I am not making it a requirement so swappers on a tighter budget can also join. Put together the package that makes you happy. =] I would say spend around $10-15 before shipping.

Please send only items that you would enjoy receiving! Although this is sender's choice, I encourage you to check out your partner's profile and see if there's anything you think they could really use. I encourage everyone to post what they are dressing up as for Halloween and list anything they would especially like. This is not a guarantee you will receive these items, but it will be a good starting point for your partner.

In order to join this swap, you must have a 4.9 rating. Please PM me to explain any ones or threes you may have if they are not clearly explained on your profile. I will not be allowing newbies as this is a bit of a higher stakes swap. I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason...but I hope it won't come to that!!

Any questions? Please contact me. Have fun everyone, and happy haunting!

can you please give the dimensions of the smallest Flat Rate Priority Box? thanks!

Same here. I don't live in the US, so I'm not sure what the size of the box is. :)

8.5" x 5.5" is the smallest Flat Rate Box.That is in inches.

US shipping to international in that box is around $12.95. The same as a flat rate envelope. It's on the usps.com website if your postal worker gives you any grief about it.

Thank you @justmeth81 and @weeatcrayons

WOW - Don't you just hate it when a coordinator goes missing!!! Thanks for picking up the slack somethingblue. I've probably already accumulated enough "stuff" to fill this box AND the first one. Just whenever I find something that I like, I buy it. Signing up right now.

Is it okay to include something handmade? Sure hope so.

somethingblue 09/ 2/2009 #

@grandmaroro yes of course handmade items are welcome

grandmaroro 09/ 6/2009 #

WOOHOO - I can hardly wait. I'm ready to send.

grandmaroro 09/ 6/2009 #

I just reread the rules - will check my partner's profile or even contact her before sending. I really try to adhere to the rules. Happy Swapping Everyone.

Yay I am excited about this swap. Just in case my partner cares I am thinking of dressing up as a faerie :)

Gotta share - my partner sent me THE most wonderful coffin full of fun goodies. Thank you so much Cinnabear.
