Description:

I've decided to start an ongoing series of international theme swaps on all different.. well.. themes!

For this one, the focus is 'the color red'.

You'll be sending your partner 3 - 5 "red" items (if they're small or something like embellishments, please send several of them/a packet to make up for this). I'll let you use your own best judgment, but personally I'd recommend using these swaps to perhaps de-stash and cater towards your partners profile where you can. Quality and thought over quantity - please don't send crap! :P


Tips:

  • Be inventive and use your imagination! While some themes may be considered pretty straightforward, others are open to interpretation. For example, just because the theme is "the color red", it doesn't mean that all your items necessarily have to be colored red (think about it for a moment). Make what you will of each theme, but if you do choose something not-so-straightforward, please mention the connection to your partner in a note so they understand. :)

  • Catering towards your partners profile is always a great idea. While it's not essential, it's important to check profiles anyway - the last thing you want to do is send your partner craft items if they're not a crafty person and have no use for them.

  • If you're having trouble finding items to match your partners tastes, try sending them a message and asking if they could tell you a little more of what they like (it doesn't hurt to ask).


Let's go for a rating of 4.6 for these (with no recent unexplained 3's or 1's) and a filled out profile (this is something I insist on - it doesn't have to be long, but it needs to be detailed enough that your partner will have plenty to work with). If you can't meet this criteria but there is a good reason for it, please send me a message and I may still allow you to join. Newbies - with filled out profile and at least five type 2 or type 3 swaps completed - are welcome. :)

EDIT: As assigning came a little late, I extended the swap deadline by 3 days. :)

As you've only completed 1 actual mail swap thus far, I'm afraid not. However, I'll PM you for a private swap. :)
