LUCKY 7'S Swap

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:TwistersMom (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Crafts  Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:8
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:April 18, 2007
Date items must be sent by:April 25, 2007
Number of swap partners:7
Description:

I love odd numbers especially Number 7! so I thought about a lucky seven theme, and with a little help from my Talented Big Sis, here it is!

This swap has 7 partners, will be listed for 7 days, and you will then have 7 days to send your 7 partners their 7 items! Hence bringing us all good luck!

The rules for this swap are as follows: I am going to give a list of swap items accepted and you can choose six of your items from these, and the 7th item has to be an atc that you made or that you make for this swap, either way you will send each partner 1 atc, and 6 other items from the list. Decorative buttons, charms, fiber, swatch of cloth, backgrounds for atcs (not on plain cardstock) specialty papers, used postage stamps, bottle caps, tags, puzzle peices, paint chips, stickers (sheet, or strip), or stamped images.

ATC’s must be standard 3.5 x 2.5 size and fit into baseball card sleeve.

Please no copies, in other words send the original atc cards only.

This swap is international, so if you can’t send out the country, please don’t sign up for this swap.

My goal for my swaps is to make it as safe as possible a place to swap, so anyone with more than 1( no send) will not be allowed in my swap. I do understand that “legitimate� reasons happen to get a 1, so I will decide on a case by case basis the risk for the swap from anyone with a 1.

Newbies are welcome, but I have now had a newbie “flake� in one of my swaps, so I need to change the rules as follows: newbies must have full profile filled in, and must have a real address, no p.o. box addresses for newbies will be allowed. I am sorry If this offends anyone, but addresses is the real only way to track bad swappers as they continue to come back as newbies..

Let’s make art! Happy swapping everyone!

What a great swap idea! One little note about your description. Did you mean - not just plain cardstock as the background? instead of not 'on' plain cardstock?

TwistersMom 04/11/2007 #

yes Betsy, that is what I meant about cardstock. thanks for noting!

I keep saying that I'm not gonna sign up for as many swaps - but this is just too easy and too much fun to pass by. And, it will bring good luck ! :)

Thanks (I think);0

this swap still needs at least 4 more joiners, so if it gets close to the close date, I will extend the dates in hopes to reach a minimum to do this swap.

cooan 04/17/2007 #

I'm in!

cooan 04/17/2007 #

Maybe you could mention it in the forums in case some people haven't seen it?

LavaRocky 04/17/2007 #

Say, you've secured my spirit as your seventh sublime swapper, Sagewind!

cooan 04/17/2007 #

that's the greatest alliteration i've seen all week

TwistersMom 04/17/2007 #

Hi all I have pushed up the dates on this swap. I am really excited about this one and didn't want to close it. I only need 1 more for it to close and I think it will happen with more time! thanks for your patience.

OrigamiGrace 04/18/2007 #

Okay Sagewind, mind if I take your last spot??! Sounds like fun!

TwistersMom 04/18/2007 #

Thank you Origami grace!!! I have changed the close date to today and 7 days from today on the send date.. Thanks everyone! happy swapping

cooan 04/19/2007 #

potentially dumb question... what would you say "tags" are?

TwistersMom 04/19/2007 #

I was thinking about the tags usually made of paper and come in several sizes, what did you have in mind?

cooan 04/19/2007 #

i guess i'm just thinking like, tags for what? like tags that you put on christmas parcels, or tags that you can hang off of clothing....

i have a really bad head cold at the moment so my brain isn't working properly. hehe.

LavaRocky 04/19/2007 #

So, Sagewind, regarding the seven items you are going to give us to choose from, are these the things you've already listed in the description? I ask because you list more than 7 items. Thanks.

TwistersMom 04/19/2007 #

Lava,

The items I listed in this swap are the items to choose your 6 items from. I listed it with several to pick from so everyone could have more choices of items on hand at home. And the 7th item is an atc of choice, you can make one, or send an extra you have on hand. Thanks

TwistersMom 04/19/2007 #

Cooan,

I was thinking about the tags used for altered art and come in all sizes and shapes. some have designs on them and some are plain. but feel free to send any kind of tag you choose, except maybe not the x-mas tags! LOL

cooan 04/19/2007 #

Hehe, you better watch out... you might end up with the xmas tags :P (just kidding!)

thanks for the answer! i get it now!

cooan 04/19/2007 #

okay! one more question! would brads and things like that fall under decorative buttons and charms?

LavaRocky 04/20/2007 #

Gotcha! I was reading it wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

TwistersMom 04/20/2007 #

brads will be fine, please just make sure they are something decorative or different than your ordinary ones!

OrigamiGrace 04/20/2007 #

Phew, I finally got mine packaged and posted! Hope you all enjoy 'em!

OrigamiGrace 04/23/2007 #

SageWind - thank you! My lovely goodie package arrived today and thank you for the delightful treats!! Great swap!

cooan 04/24/2007 #

i, unfortunately, clicked that i'd sent everything when i took a pile of mail into the post office yesterday... but this morning i found 3 of the envelopes for this swap on my desk!

they will be mailed tomorrow morning, but i'm in Canada so please keep in mind they may not arrive within 7 days from tomorrow :) (when ratings time is)

LavaRocky 04/25/2007 #

Wow, eveybody! You guys are really on the ball or I am taking too much time putting this stuff together. Really, I just had to drink all of that beer to get the bottlecaps! LOL! Mine will go out later today, just in time for the deadline.

Hag53 04/26/2007 #

I've received two of these wonderful packages so far! Sagewind - Wow!!! So many wonderful choices! And Origami Grace - you went above and beyond! The charms are so wonderful and the speciality papers!!! This is just a really great idea for swapping. I just want to place all my little things in a box and call it - my treasure box, you know the old cigar box that a child hides under the bed and just takes out now and then to gaze upon. It's late, I'm a bit silly!!! BTW, my packages went out on Monday. Hope you all like them!

user7234 04/27/2007 #

I just wanted to apologise to everyone. I just started a second job this week and it's been overwhelming. I'm going to try to have everything sent out today. Again, I'm very very sorry. I hope you will accept my apology.

TwistersMom 04/27/2007 #

I have recieved my WONDERFUL packages from Betsy and Origami grace! WOW! your packages are above and beyond the expectations for this swap! thanks so much!

OrigamiGrace 04/28/2007 #

Thank you Katherine Y, Betsy and Nikki O - love all my new goodies!!

Hag53 04/28/2007 #

Two more arrived today! Kara - fantastic! I love all the little embellishments, the papers and fabric swatch! Just wonderful. And - Rachel! A themed assortment! I love all of it, but the leaf scar is very unique for me living here in Vermont! and the "suffering bastard" How grand! Thank you both so much!

Hag53 04/28/2007 #

Lindsey, I can't speak for others, but I'm okay with both the short delay and your apology. Thank you very much for letting me know what's going on. Betsy

user7234 04/28/2007 #

I wasn't able to make it to the post office until tonite, but everything is sitting in the drop box waiting to be sent on monday. And thank you for your understanding.

TwistersMom 04/30/2007 #

Lindsey I have sent the Lucky 7's police squad after you!! LOL Of course no harm done for late goodies! It's only the NEVER GOT THE ITEM(S) that hurts! thanks for letting us know.

TwistersMom 04/30/2007 #

Katherine, Nikki,

I recieved your 7's goodies !! great packages from both! thanks so much for joining, this is fun!

OrigamiGrace 04/30/2007 #

Kara - thank you! Your lovely package of goodies arrived today from the UK - your atc is spectacular!! Not to mention all the other stuff too - thank you.

cooan 04/30/2007 #

Keep forgetting to post here.... I've received packages so far from SageWind, Betsy, Kara, and Scoutmom! Thanks y'all :)

LavaRocky 04/30/2007 #

Betsy, thank you very much for you comments and for your package. I am delighted to know you enjoyed the package I sent you. I agree about the wonder of these tiny treasures we've all been receiving. Unwrapping them makes magical moments that dissolve the outside world for just a while.

I have also received Lucky 7's from Sagewind, Origami Grace, Cooan, Innocentcharmer and Nikki. They are great. Thank you all.

user7234 05/ 2/2007 #

I have recieved some wonderful packages from Origami Grace, Betsy, Sage Wind, Scoutmom, and Lava Rocky. Thanks so much. Hopefully your packages should be arriving soon!

TwistersMom 05/ 4/2007 #

I have now recieved all 7 packages!! wonderful. thanks all for joining my swap. this was fun, maybe next time I host this one, there will be more interest.

OrigamiGrace 05/14/2007 #
