Description:
I did a swap like this a really long time ago and never saw it again, so I figured I would pick it back up again because it was so much fun. For this swap you will send 3 partners one prize (or more for hearts!) from one of those "Insert Quarter" machines where you get a prize in a little plastic bubble (I really hope everyone knows what I'm talking about.) Please send the larger sized bubbles (usually the 50 cent machines), not the teeny tiny ones. These machines can be found almost anywhere, but most commonly at big box retailers like Walmart and Grocery Stores. All of these machines are pretty random, so this is sender's choice, but feel free to check your partners' profiles to send you in the right direction (you wouldn't want to pick the princess figures machine if they hate pink, for example.) Newbies WELCOME with a fully filled out profile (I do reserve the right to ban you if it isn't), or members with a 4.7+ and no 1's or 3's in the past 3 months. Please be prepared to send to multiple partners, I'm happy to be an angel, but even happier to have everyone send their swaps out and on time!

:D I'm excited! I remember it being a really fun swap, I can't believe there wasn't one already.

What does one put the plastic bubble in to send thru the mail?

I've found that bubble envies work just fine, but feel free to pack them any way you want. They're pretty durable, luckily.

I am obsessed with fake mustaches, I don't know why but I find them so funny, and I just found a machine that offers them! I cannot wait to start sending :D

In my area the small bubbles/capsules are 50 cents and the larger ones are 75 cents. That is not a big deal it is just that these things have risen in price also. Hopefully I can find some unusual ones so I'm not sending the same as I'm getting. My kids use to love these, back in the good ole days, when the prize was awesome in these capsules or crackerjacks, etc. Back in my time and that is going back some, the Crackerjack prizes were so great and collectible. Fantastic Charms in them and little miniatures in both.

I've been having so much fun checking out the machines in my area. So many things have been irresistible and so I've been spending all my quarters... Consequently, I've got a nice little collection of whatnots going on. Any plans to host another of these? I would definitely do more!
