Description:

Raise your hand if you LOVE packages! (Raising hand) Ok, now raise your hand if you LOVE surprises! (Raising hand and wiggling a little bit).

What is better than mixing up the two? Yeah, nothing is better than that!

Here's the scoop: Look at your partner's profile and pick a theme for your package.

Make or buy six little things (rubber stamps, cool pencils or stickers, etc) that all have the same theme and wrap them up, numbering each package. Try to incorporate at least one thing that is unique to your (the sender's) geographical area (like a See's Lollipop if you're from San Francisco)

Pick out something (or, better yet, MAKE it!) that follows the theme but is a bit more elaborate and wrap that item. Put the number 7 the more elaborate item.

Put all the items into ONE package and ship it off to your partner before the deadline.

When you receive the package TRY to open the packages in order, one per day for a week.


Participation Requirements: In order to participate you must have a 5 rating and have participated in at least 3 other Type 3 swaps. This swap is only for US swappers (I'll do an international one next month).

Make sure that your profile is diverse and thorough, or I'll have to boot you.

Please be creative; the one I did a few years back was amazing! My partner (from Europe) printed out pictures from my flicker account and MADE a little mini-scrapbook of my pets!

If you have any questions just message me!!

Very cute idea! I'm not sure if I can join, but I will put it on my watchlist.

This isn't my normal type of swap but after reading it and your profile I just had to join. :)
