Description:

My name is Peace and I am a Buttonholic. Join me on this quest to feed my button habit-and yours! This is sort of partner-specific challenge so read the details carefully!

You will have one partner, to whom you will send a nice package of (at least) 16 sweet sewing/craft buttons, (NOT pinback buttons) which will include:

1 rhinestone button (button with one or several rhinestones in it or a button that's one big rhinestone, there just needs to be a rhinestone involved)

1 glass or mother of pearl button

1 button which measures one inch (or larger) across (a BIG ol' button)

THREE buttons in each of FOUR colors that your partner has chosen and listed in the comments section (twelve total for this part).

One more 'special' button your partner might like, your choice, any kind, vintage, new, novelty, unique, another that fits one of the above categories or colors, whatever you choose, try not to make it a simple white shirt button.

This will total sixteen buttons!

Please put your buttons in a small bag or container of some sort, not loose in the envelope (I know it seems obvious but some people need told).

Part of this swap includes your leaving a list of FOUR colors you'd like your colored buttons in, in the comments section below. If you do not leave a list, your partner can send any colors they wish totaling twelve and should NOT be rated down for it. The first three button categories (rhinestone, glass, 1") are NOT color or profile specific, but if you want to go that extra mile, feel free. If you receive sixteen buttons fitting the categories, your partner should receive a five.

If you have special requests, for example, you'd rather have 12 buttons all one color or 12 different colored buttons or eight of one color and four of another (sheesh, who are you, Martha Stewart?), you can mention it in your comments, but your partner is NOT required to follow that request, so PLEASE leave a list of four colors in addition to your little desires. :O)

International, as buttons are not outrageously heavy to send.

Established swappers with at least 4.9 ratings, at least 5 package or craft ratings, no unexplained 1's or 3's. Buttons are rather expensive these days so nobody wants a flaky partner. I reserve the right to ban iffys, creeps and numbskulls if necessary. My object is, as always, to protect my good swappers and whining is ineffective.

I hope I haven't made it too complicated, but I suppose that weeds out some of the numbskulls immediately, right? ;O)

Bottom line, international, one partner, 16 buttons total according to the challenge requirements.

Concerns, questions, comments? PM me!

I'm really not picky, but if I have to be specific, here goes-

Black, Orange, Pale baby blue, and Pale pink. So, basically I prefer Halloween and Shabby Chic colors. :)

Love this swap, Peace. I like structure.
