Description:
Before I start explaining the swap I want to first say, if YOU are NOT someone that takes time and puts effort into your swaps. This swap is NOT for you. NO FLAKERS, rating must be at least 4.9.....Sorry but I can't angel everyone so really be sure you can do this before joining! Now for the fun part, explaining the swap: I myself love giving gifts...And who doesn't like to recieve them???There are days when I need something to lift my spirits or have something to look forward to! So why not have 30 days of suprises!!!! This is where your time and effort comes in as well as some creativity. You can do so many diffrent things, you can decorate paper bags and bind them together to make a book and tape the ends once you tucked your suprise for the day. You can decorate large envelopes and bind them as well and tuck your suprise inside envelope for that day.You can put words of inspiration,incouragement or just decorate each page,bag envie or whatever you came up with...You can come up with your own creative ways of doing this. The requirements are simply that you must do 30 days worth of suprises. This is senders choice but if you would like a heart you could try to include something from your partners profile. You can send all sorts of suprises some can be bought,some can be made, it can be stickers,ATC anything really sky is the limit....You will send as one unit, not idividually. Think along the lines of an advent calender or daily devotional. The diffrence is it is one suprise each day. Put together in ANYWAY you choose as long as there is thought and creativity behind it!. Some people may think wow this is going to cost a ton. Yes, there will be some cost to it. But remember you will be getting the same back in return. Not only that you can get dollar store or tree items, you can gift things you already have or can be handmade...Lets have fun and make someones 30 days enjoyable! DO NOT send junk or something you would NOT want to recieve. DON'T forget to RATE your partner once your recieve your 30 days of Suprises I gave 4 weeks to complete the swap if you think more time is needed please message me and I will edit the dates!

How will items be shipped? Is it one per day or do we send it all in one package?

benzmom 10/12/2011 #

I will edit the swap to explain better but it would be shipped all at once and it would be like a daily devotional or advent calender where you read one page a day or open one treat a day, This will be one suprise a day for 30 days put together in any creative way you can come up with. I gave some sugestions in the explanation...

I love these kinds of swaps. I have done 7 days but no more ~ I can't wait for 30 days!!!!

Mugsie 10/12/2011 #

Also the cool thing is ~ is we can start it now!!!!

mcovey 10/12/2011 #

could we use a flat rate box and wrap each gift up and number them 1 to 30 and they will open one up each day!!

benzmom 10/12/2011 #

Thanks all I am excited for this swap as well.....If you would like to wrpa each surpise and number os 1-30 that if fine but would be nice if there was some creativety to it for example maybe words of encorgament written on each package...For me the idea was more in how it is presented rather than the suprises themselves.....Have fun with it and see what you can come up with. There are so many things you can do. Another idea I came up with is take an old magazine make a tree out of it by folding each of the pages back. Spray paint it and deocrate the tree and wrape each gift and glue or take to tree.. Another idea for everyone...Be creative make it fun for your partner :)

What type of surprises is everyone planning on including? Just was wondering....

benzmom 10/17/2011 #

For me some of what I will include will depend on who my partner is. I will make some of my and buy some... Could be ATC's ,stickers,mini FB's,nail polish,lip gloss,labels,post cards..The suprises you can include are endless. It all depends on what you want to spend and what you can afford...

kraftykj 10/17/2011 #

I made up a list of about 20 items I want to add..I didn't think about fb's and I am horrible at ATC's...nail polish and lip gloss sounds like a great ideal! Thanks for helping me out!!

benzmom 10/17/2011 #

YAY! I'm excited about this swap! Can't wait to get our partners so I can start planning. Just a shout out to whoever gets me, I'm not into ATC, scrapbooking, stickers or most paper crafts. I mean 1 or 2 ok, but not 30 =D And never fear, I will be sure to look at your profile & honor your likes & dislikes too!

yay!
