Description:

I saw this swap and it was created by someone that is no longer a member, so I decided to make one because I liked the idea so much!!

Everyone has seen Alice in Wonderland, so everyone knows that we have only 1 birthday and 364 unbirthdays every year!!

What you need to do is in the comments section list 10 items you would like to receive. You will need to send 3 items to your partner totaling $10 before postage.

Newbies are welcome to join in, but be everyone needs to have a fully filled out profile. I was a newbie once, I know it can be hard to start out. Just don't burn me! I will always welcome newbies as long as they send on time and are good swappers. Once someone burns me, I will no longer welcome newbies at all. For those of you that aren't newbies, you MUST have a rating of 4.3 or higher, and no no-sends.

For an added ounce of fun, wrap up your gifts like bday gifts. For a heart, add a little something extra.

THIS IS USA ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO START AN INTERNATIONAL ONE, GO FOR IT!!

Graphic is a handmade dish cloth I made. Handmade items are always welcome!!

I'll say this first: I don't need anything storebought- handmade stuff would be lovely.

Art! A small drawing, watercolor, collage, photo or painting- framed or unframed. Basically handmade anything- and depending on how much time it took you to make- you can add a little something along with it in the package, but you dont have to.

Mix CDs- of your favorite songs or albums.

Scraps or spools of pretty ribbons.

Skulls or Skeleton Stuff- love it.

Extra notecards or postcards you're not using.

Photo or paper scraps.

Owl anything.

offbeat stickers.

Zines you are done with.

Offbeat rubber stamps.

Anything day of the dead.

A secret.

Old photos.

If this list does not inspire, just check out my profile to get a better feel for what I'd like.

Thanks- and a very happy unbirthday to you.
