Description:

I've received so many lovely bright colored and neon collage supplies in swaps (hooray for profile-reading swappers!) that I wondered - what about a swap JUST for that? Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm pretty sure I've seen several other swappers who share my love of all thing bright and colorful. So we'll just have to see if this is too specific or not. :)

The swap:

  • You will have three partners (unless this is SO specific we get less than 4 participants, in which case I'll reduce the number of partners)
  • To each partner you will send one envelope of collage goodies (that is, flat crafting supplies such as paper, stickers, ribbon, fabric scraps, etc).
  • Envelopes should be at least #10/business sized (4 1/8" by 9 1/2" or about 10.5 cm x 24 cm - the size bills typically come in!) and be at least an ounce. A good rule of thumb if you don't have a scale is about the area of 3 sheets of standard letter size paper (8.5" x 11").
  • ALL items must be brightly colored and or neon/fluorescent! It's a good idea to check your partner's profile in case they hate green or love pink or are allergic to glitter or something. But this isn't a profile-based swap, so don't sweat it. Feel free to start making up envelopes now - I am! :)
  • Office supplies are ok, but no post-it/sticky notes because they can mess up other items, and don't send JUST office supply type items. (By office supplies I mean index cards, tags, labels, etc - in neon or bright colors, of course!)

Participants:

  • Must have a rating of 4.5 or better, no unexplained 1s or 3s in the past 3 months.
  • Newbies are welcome with well filled out profiles. You don't have to use the standard sections, feel free to tell us anything you like. A filled out profile helps established swapper know you are serious about Swap Bot, not just signing up on a whim.
  • International participants are welcome, as this is such a specific swap, so be aware that the postage costs might be a few dollars.

I'm a big neon junkie, so I am happy to arrange a private swaps like this, and I am available to angel if need be... but let's not make that necessary!

P.S. I have a swap just like this for glittery/sparkly stuff too! ;)

Can I choose rather I get bright colors or neons. I like reds and oranges but I'm don't much like neon

Betsi 04/10/2010 #

This swap is set up for those who like neon as well as other bright colors. You could always start a red and orange collage supply swap though!

Although I should probably also note that it's fine if you want to make requests... just understand that because this isn't a profile based swap your partners are under no obligation to meet those requests.

Hey! I totally would love to do this and the glittery sparkly swap, but I'll be out of town getting married during the swap deadline, although I probally could do it, I don't want to risk something coming up, and ot do my part, would you these 2 swaps again if they are successes???

Betsi 04/11/2010 #

Hey Jen, I'll definitely be doing these again if they are successful, though time will tell. If they don't go well enough to host them again, you and I can always set up a private swap. :)
