orange, turquoise, brown & cream

US only, due to shipping. Sorry, I know there are some awesome International Swappers, but overseas postage is a killer these days.

Color is such an amazing part of the joy of life. Color represents not only visual aspects, but also emotions and moods. These swaps will be a nod to appreciating interesting combinations of colors.

In order to join you must have a rating of at least 4.8 & zero no sends in the past 3 months. You must have ratings from 2 swaps where you sent an actual package of goodies to your partner(s). Email, online, and ATC swaps don't count. Please be sure you are able to budget for the swap and send your package on time.

You will send a package valued at $15 to one partner. The items should all fall into the orange, turquoise, brown, or cream catergory....or a combination of any of those colors. You will have an entire month to collect items that match the theme. There will be no need to rush, so please choose items carefully and do your best to incorporate the info from your partner's profile.

Please include at least 1 handmade item in your swap. It doesn't have to be made by you, just handmade by someone.

In addition, try to creatively package your swap. I love it when I get a swap that is all wrapped up neat!

Some ideas of items you might include:

• Notecards, Stationery, Notepads, or Postcards
• Ribbons, Beads, Baubles
• Fabric or Yarn
• Bath, Body, or Beauty Products
• Snacks
• Seasonal Decorations
• Christmas Ornament ('tis the season)
• Jewlery
• etc.

Use your imagination and keep your eyes open for these colors. I'm sure these are going to be gorgeous packages!

Please take photos of what you send & receive. Since the gallery slideshow doesn't work with any consistency, let's tag the photos with OTBC so they can be accessed easily on flickr. Seeing other packages sent & reveived is always such an inspiration.

Please note that I will ban swappers before assigning partners and will do my best to remove anyone who may seem questionable. It is my right & duty as the host of this swap to do so.
