Birds, Birds and more Birds

I really enjoyed doing themed swaps, so I decided to host a themed swap of owls earlier in the year. Just owls was a little bit limiting, so I have decided to expand this one to all birds.

You will send your partner at least 5 bird related items, these are senders choice, but must include the following;-

A piece of jewellery (contact your partner first if you plan to send earrings, just in case they don’t have pierced ears!)

A piece of stationery – this could be a notebook, a pen, etc.(not just one letterset - if sending this it must be a pack) As long as these two items are included, the other 3 are your choice, but some examples are;-

Notecards, Small toy, Scarf, Socks, Keyring, Bookmark, Sticker sheet (must be whole sheet, not just 1, and no freebies), Calendar, Magnet, Sticky notes, Notepad, Purse etc, etc. etc. The list is endless.

Handmade items are allowed, but no more than two of the items (The piece of jewellery could be one).

I am not going to put a monetary value on this, as handmade items are allowed, but please remember that you are trying to make your partner happy – please only send items you would like to receive yourself.

Now the not so nice bit! As this is a higher value public swap, I am going to be strict on who takes part – I want to make this a fun, but safe swap for everyone. So, I am setting the rating at 4.96, and I am afraid no newbies this time. Also, you must have completed at least 10 type 3 swaps already.

If you do have any 1’s or 3’s there needs to be a good explanation on your profile as to why you have these, and how you have tried to resolve. Before I assign partners I will be checking for any late swaps on your profile, and I will also be checking comments on your profile for any instances of people having to chase for ratings, as it is unfair to receive a swap and then not give a rating.

I am regularly reading the forums, and anyone I can see who has a history of drama will also be removed. If I do have to remove you, I will always explain why. Apologies if this seems harsh but as mentioned, I want to make this a safe swap for all. If you are unsure if you are able to take part due to the above, please just message me.

When rating, please remember that this is senders choice, so as long as you have received at least 5 bird related items, (one of which must be jewellery, and one of which must be stationery) then you should rate a 5 (as long as it has been sent on time etc.)

If you do have any problems meeting the send by date, you should notify your partner, and myself as soon as possible.

Also, this is an International swap, so please do not join if you object to sending Internationally.
