Description:
I have hosted some round robin journal swaps, that are only open to "experienced" swappers (those WITH a good rating) - and I have been contacted by many 'newbies' asking if they can join. I've told them to find a "quick turnaround" swap, and get some excellent ratings, and then they would be most welcome! Well, there just aren't that many "quickies" that are open to the newbies - and well, I remember when I was one myself. SOOOO..... this is for YOU, if you are brand new, or have not yet found a quick swap to get some good ratings. (maybe even a heart or two?) This is an INTERNATIONAL swap, open to EVERYONE - even experienced swappers - (adding a couple '5' ratings would be good for anyone!) Swap Details - you will have TWO partners (that means you will get TWO ratings!) send FOUR blank notecards with envelopes to each of your partners. (That's eight notecards, total, which is usually one packet of notecards from the store) This is a FAST swap (one week from signup to mailing)- so get your notecards right away, and get them in a mailing envie, even weigh it and attach the postage, all ready to mail. (Remember, this is an int'l swap, so postage will be different if you have an int'l partner) Swap partners will be assigned when the signup deadline comes, so all you will have to so, is put the address on the mailer, and get it in the mail. As soon as you receive your items, please remember to RATE your partner - there will be some newbies in this swap, who are eagerly waiting for some numbers by their names! HOW DO I EARN A HEART? good question - a heart means that you have done something "above and beyond" the requirement - and in this case, that could mean sending some stickers, or maybe sending FIVE or even SIX note cards, or writing a nice little note about yourself.... IMPORTANT - include your own name in the swap, as well as your "swap id" - many of us use nicknames, and it's always nice to know who sent the packages. HAVE FUN WITH THIS! and Good Luck! (hope to maybe see some of you in my round robin swaps soon!)

do the notecards have to be store bought?

What is the size of the note cards? Any particular designs on the front of the cards?

I collect notecards, count me in! Also, I would be thrilled to have handmade ones as well as store bought, so long as they are made well.

this is meant to be a FAST swap, so yes, store-bought is fine - as for size, I have some that are about 4" x 5" - I'm not fussy about that - maybe I'll start a hand-made notecard swap - or someone else can if they want to -

are these blank note cards of all one design?

gramsbuttonbox 02/ 1/2009 #

Yes, I think that blank is best, altho I've received some "thank you" notes, (still blank inside) which were still appreciated.

These should not be too hard to find, Mary

Would love a swap like this that is handmade only!

How fun....looking forward to the swap.

I battled to find notecards, I think S Africans don't use them a lot, so I made some. It was a lot mote fun than fighting my way around the mall.

Sorry about the delay in assigning partners, it is being done TODAY - I extended the mailing deadline a couple days to make up for it.

Get your notecards sent, and remember to RATE your partners - quite a few newbies in here, who are eagerly waiting for some numbers by their names!

Also, if I've contacted you about your profile, please add to it. There are lots of swap hosts who will ban people without a filled-out profile - since this swap IS open to everyone, I'll let you stay in.

Anyone SENDING to someone without a profile, you need NOT check their profiles for what they like, in this swap, anyway, so hopefully they wont' flake on rating.

Any questions, post here, happy swapping, Mary

I mailed my swaps out today to my 2 partners!

Just so everyone knows - -

On swaps that I host, I do NOT click the "items sent" link, because that moves that swap from my dashboard - I want to keep an eye on these. (yes, I know they move to the "sent" page, but that's NOT the first page of this site - and I like to be on top of them)

I DO post on the swap page that I've sent my items, but I just wanted you to know, so that you aren't worried or concerned, if it's very late and it still shows that I've NOT sent!

(this ONLY applies to the swaps that I host)

I dropped my parcels at the post office Sunday February 8th and clicked sent. I hope the two ladies in Texas enjoy thier goodies from a first-time swapper!

according to the listing, ALL the swaps have been sent - be sure to rate each other, when the time is right - there really is no deadline to rate people, but there are quite a few newbies who would like to get a few numbers by their names!

have a good week, everyone, Mary
