Weekly Newbie Swap 1

Welcome!! This weekly swap is set up to help serious newbies get ratings quickly, without skimping on a quality swap.

This will be an International swap since you can easily customize a light weight package.

This swap will be open to ALL new swappers WITH a filled out profile. This is very important! Other swappers are also welcome to join, I will be checking profiles though. I reserve the right to ban anyone with a poor swapping history.

What will we be swapping? Why anything you want. Let’s send our partners our best. Once partners are assigned you will have the weekend to create something wonderful for them. You will need to go check out their profiles and choose items you think they will love. Now this swap doesn’t have to cost much, just your time.

Do you knit or crochet? Maybe you could send a dish cloth, a recipe and a lovely homemade card.

After reading your partner’s profile did you feel like you have a lot in common? Send them a lengthy pen-pal letter along with some homemade tags.

What about a hobby or favorite craft? You could send a journal & pretty pen to a writter. Or some nice yarn for a knitter.

These are just ideas, get creative and send your partner something you’d like to receive. Something you’re proud of.

Please do read Cloverst’s: How to Have a Good Swap Experience

Remember to:

  • Fill out your profile, for some ideas you can click here and here
  • Create a nice package based on your partner’s profile.
  • Be sure to include a note to let your partner know who you are and what swap your package is for.
  • You do not have to send a homemade item, just remember most of us love things others make especially for us!
  • Be sure to send your package on time!
  • Don't forget to rate your partner. Everyone will be putting a lot of thought into your package, it's only right to let them know you received it and to give them the rating they deserve.
  • Please contact your partner before rating anything lower than perfect.
  • Please ask questions, I want everyone to have a wonderful swapping experience!

Hello! I'm not a newbie but remember being one and want to help them out. Plus after reading Mommy's Crafting's profile it energizes me. I'm in. Please read my profile to get to know me.

Hi KitKat! Thanks for joining. I'm excited to be hosting this swap. I hope there will be enough interest to do this every week in order to help new swappers get those needed ratings.

I'm happy to see some well established swappers are joining to help show those new to swap-bot how it's done!

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

I'm a little new but don't concider myself new to swapping.
I'm here to give a helping hand to the new kids. :)

Hey! Don't forget to click on that link at the top and post your pictures of what you get/give!!!

That is a great source. I'm going to use that on my swaps. Thanks for the idea.

Heh I forgot to comment to say I -love- the idea of promoting your handmade items! Its always special to receive something you don't make yourself, or even if you do, someone else's inperpretation. =)

MommysCrafting 07/13/2007 #

Yes, everyone loves a handmade gift!! Also, I know 12TR21 mentioned the link to the flickr group above, but please do join and add photos of your swaps. As soon as I get the package ready for my partner I will be adding a photo of it.

Also, when you do receive your package please rate your partner right away. That's what this swap is for, to get those ratings. Please do contact me & your partner before giving a low rating, maybe something can be done to correct the problem.

Again, if you have any questions you can post them here or send me a private message. I check several times a day so you should have a quick response from me.

Well, I am off to see my new niece who was born yesterday morning. A whopping 9lbs 1 oz!!

I know this may seem a little crazy...but...I have already made, packaged, and mailed this one out.

MommysCrafting 07/13/2007 #

And how lucky to me that I am the recipient of your package. I can't wait to get it!!

I was happy to see several of you were able to get your packages mailed out today. I was very busy so mine will be mailed out Monday to Joyce.

Have a great weekend!

I hope everyone received my email. Please let me know if you didn't. Also, I added a photo to the flickr group of the package I sent to Joyce. So Joyce, if you want to be surprised don't look yet!! The link is up in the swap description too. http://www.flickr.com/groups/381545@N25/
