Description:

This is a great swap for swap-bot newbies and even vets too!

You will pick a minimum of any TWO items on the list to send to one partner.

  • stickers - 10 loose stickers (none smaller then your thumbnail or teacher reward)

  • note cards w/envelopes - any 2 unused note cards with envelopes

  • stationary - 5 sheets of stationary paper (no plain white paper or notebook paper)

  • ribbon - 5 pieces of ribbon at least 6" in length

  • bookmark - 1 store bought bookmark

  • tea - 2 teabags in package (no loose, unpackaged teabags)

  • envelopes - 3 envelopes, any size or design (no plain white envelopes please)

  • seeds - 1 package of flower seeds

  • stamps - 2 unused 44cent stamps

  • postcard - 1 store bought postcard

As long as your partner sends any two off the list, you must rate them a 5. Even if you don't like something. This swap is not based on your profile, so if you receive something you don't like, save it for another swap.

Here's the fun part. If your partner sends more then the minimum, you may give them a heart. So if they pick 3 off the list or send double the amounts of the 2 for example, give them a heart.

This is an easy swap to earn a 5 rating and a heart. Hope everyone has fun! :)

What a shame, I read this and was really excited, as I am a newbie, and loved the sound of this one then realised it was US only and I am in the UK =(

HollyHox 06/27/2010 #

Sorry, couldn't reply to your message for some reason!, thankyou for getting back to me and yep, I look forward to the international version of this swap, thankyou! =D

Hearts are at the discretion of the recipient. It actually says in the rules when creating a swap that coordinators are not allowed to set rules/suggestions for giving a heart.

Just because someone sends you extra in this swap does not mean you have to give them a heart.

stacirose 06/30/2010 #

Can any of these be handmade? (Bookmark, cards...I even got hand-painted ribbon once and it was excellent)

I understand your swap, your rules, but in the future, sending seeds to someone living in an apartment isn't always a nice thing. Just 2 cents. :)

Very nice swap. :D

margezilla 07/ 1/2010 #

This swap looks fun! Items for swap are great! I love bookmarkers new or handmade. My thumbs are not green so seeds whould go to waste in my house ... unless it's for a giant beanstalk :)

Ryleighsmom 07/ 2/2010 #

If you get seeds and can't use them, save them for another swap or send them inside a card to someone you know who can use them, thus brightening up their day!

Cyndimom 07/ 2/2010 #

Maybe your partner will see you don't want seeds in these comments or you can pm them once partners are chosen :) I would not like seeds either, but I could save them for another swap.

xxpenguinscanflyxx 07/ 3/2010 #

This looks like it's going to be fun. I can't wait until partners are chosen so that I can get work choosing!

grandmabear 07/ 4/2010 #

No seeds since I can't plant gardens The heat kills young seeds,I'm not able to get out to water them daily.I'm housebound w/te heat.The rest is great,

krstawrdtravels 07/ 4/2010 #

I'm pumped about this swap. I know this isn't a profile based swap but if my partner could steer away from tea I would really appreciate it. If not, that's fine too.

dissolvedgirl 07/ 4/2010 #

This looks like fun. Can't wait. :)

denissetx 07/ 5/2010 #

Great swap! I don't care what I get from the list above, the only thing I don't care for is tea...not even for re swapping.....but the rest I'm fine with. thanks! =0)

MarissaPrendes 07/ 5/2010 #

can you make homemade note cards?

aprettykitty84 07/ 5/2010 #

Please read the swap description! While it is nice if your partner reads your profile and sends you things you like, it is not required. It really irks me when people start posting don't send me this don't send me that. If you don't like sender's choice swaps, don't join!

kimmer 07/ 6/2010 #

aprettykitty - this is a great swap - thank you for putting it together!

melaniabercrombie 07/ 6/2010 #

looking forward to this swap! Can't wait. It's my first swap on swap bot, though I have done 6 swaps with Blog Partners. I LOVE SENDING PACKAGES. My new favorite hobby!!!

Laurenbujo 07/ 6/2010 #

anything off the list works for me! my mom is an avid gardener so the seeds I could just save and give to her in a card or something. And tea is GREAT especially if I can make it into Ice tea!!! <3

CcHk11 07/ 8/2010 #

I like this swap, but the whole heart thing is a little annoying because I thought that coordinators are not allowed to set rules/suggestions for giving a heart. shrugs

KraftyKaren 07/ 9/2010 #

Sent my swap today. I hope the special someone I sent to likes everything. I've already confirmed it sent. Hope everyone has a great swap. :o)

mariaisabel 07/10/2010 #

I got my package ready to send, it was so fun I want to do more swaps like this!

grandmabear 07/11/2010 #

DH took mine to the PO Sat am.

rubberaduckie 07/13/2010 #

if anyone wants to angel, please PM me. thanx!

alteredartist 07/14/2010 #

Hi everyone... just my 2cents... but... you can use the seeds for other than just planting. You can use the seed package for an ATC background, and you can use the seeds as an embellishment, etc. Sometimes, I also put items that I'm not going to use to the side for a future swap that might request the item.

KraftyKaren 07/16/2010 #

Oops, don't forget, today is the last day to send out swaps. :o)

Gesikuh 07/20/2010 #

Sorry I sent mine out a little late! It's on the way! :)

mariaisabel 07/28/2010 #

I want to make another one of this swaps! How about a I <3 surprises in my mailbox 2????

KraftyKaren 07/30/2010 #

That sounds like fun mariaisabel. :o) I'll join.
