I say that a lot of people wanted to do a particular swap, but that wasn’t going on at that moment.

So I thought of the idea of starting of a board where you can do a request to swap and other people can reply on that. Then those two can swap with each other.

It would also be a nice place to keep on tract on personal swaps. So everyone can see what has been send to one and another.

Just some samples of request you can make:
- A request for a personal swap.
- A request for a partner in your country (for personal swap).
- A request for a swap that has no host.
- A request for a swap that you have been too late on the sign up date.

There are some rules we have to keep in mind.
- When you want to do a swap that is already going on in this board, you’ve to get approval of the original host.
- When a swap gets to many people involved it no longer can rely on this board and has to make his own board.
- You and your partner have to come to an agreement of topic, send out date and everything else that comes along.
- It’s your own responsibility when you’re swapping with a newbie, when you don’t want to do this put it in you request!!

An example of a request:

Name:
Country:
International (yes/no) :
Status (newbie/vet):
Will swap with a newbie (yes/no):

Summary of swap wish:


It is just an idea, if no one want to make use of it I don’t mind. But thought I would offer the possibility.
I will try to keep this board as clarifying as possible, but I’m not responsible for swap that go wrong!

Greetz, Jolanda

we have attempted this before, I did a swap classifieds. never really panned out. But lets try again

sorry michelle, I didn't know it was tried before! do you mind? didn't feel like going trough all the boards....so bad!!!

I don't know how its going to work out, but just thought I would give it a try.

I think this is a great idea! Plus it could be used to see how many people are interested in a particular swap, before it gets underway!

no, its cool. Lets try it again

Really nice idea!
As soon as I finished my current swaps I will make a request for a Mario swap :)

I would be interested in a Red Riding hood themed swap. We could be inspired by the traditional Grimms version, or the movie.

Ohhhhhh those are good ideas!! I would totally be up for a red ridding hood swap felecity. I am really excited for the movie. It looks really cool

Kawaii Swap??

I think that we should do another kawaii swap, I wasnt here for the first one. And there has been a lot of chatter about one lately. Anyway I think that we should do one in April, because we have a bunch of swaps going on right now, So maybe after the ATC swap is done? I asked Sugarlicious (the gal who hosted the last one) but she hasnt answered back. I wouldnt mind hosting one.

Just trying to get a idea of how many people would be interested before we get one going.

tessa I will see your request when you're ready for it!

♥ Red Riding hood themed swap

♥ Kawaii Swap
(Suggested in april as a big swap)

interest from: Pammerz, Jolanda, Mary, Claire A

I'm in for the second round of the Kawaii swap too, and there were a few requests. Maybe someone should take charge and put this on the board on itself. I'm hosting the geeky swap second round right now, and I don't feel comfortable hosting two, so if anybody else wants to do it I guarantee I'll join in :)

Kawaii!! ;)

@ Mary- We deffinetly will put up the KAWAII SWAP on its own board, but probally when it gets closer to April XD

pammerz is right about doing it later on, there are many swap going on right now.
but there is enough intrest to make it in to his own board, that totally right mary! just keeping up the score here :P

april sounds like a good time to start new ones

SUG is no longer on the boards, she and a few other from her created their own website, the alliance of crafters

they asked me to join, but I like it here

yay i cant wait for the kawaii swap!

are there any other mini swaps we could do? kind of like the happy grams, something simple and quick to do?
orr if anyone would like to do a tea time swap with me, we could do that...

let me know what ya'll think! :D

Sally maybe we could do a postcard swap? Those are super easy. Or a greeting card swap where you make 5 cards to swap? Something like that?

oOo i like that postcard idea swap! its super easy so we could do several of those at a time if we want! i like the greeting card card idea too :p
but if anything we should def start a postcard swap!!

i'm thinking after the destash swap?

Postcards sounds cool.
Maybe a postcard-swap where we send a toeristic card of our own country/city to everyone who participates in the swap with a maximum of 5 persons each.

I was thinking about an animal-themed swap. Maybe bears? I love bears. What do you think?

postcard sounds fun... I dont think there are any for where I live though lol

We tried a postcard swap before only three participated but it was fun.I'd be up for that again.I want to try to make fabric postcards if that's OK.
Greetings cards would be fun to.
I fancy a fabric swap but with a challenge attached but will have to wait a while until I can explain all.

BTW do we want to do Inchies bi-monthly or jump to twinchies for the next round (would work in with greetings cards well)?

I love an animal swap, turtles!

i think the animal themed swap is a great idea! when partners are posted, maybe they can decided together what animal the want to swap?
and we should definitely do an ongoing postcard swap soon like the happy grams? and we can make our own postcards if we want.. totally up to us!
when Pam receives my newbie vs vet swap, i can host one of them! :D

Yeh Sally you totally should host a post card swap. It will be a short and sweet first swap for ya!

I love the idea of an animal swap

As well, would anybody be interested in doing a plushie swap?

maybe, I have to limit to one swap a month though. Funds are low

Hey girls,
