I thought of this the other day when I was busy finishing up my rest and relaxation swap.

I thought what a great way for us to share part of ourselves with each other.

Rules are:

Priorty mail with dc

Which is a Monday-I just looked.

Here is how the Swap will go.

Sign up here.

This Swap will be a limit of 20 people.

When we reach that it will be a closed Swap.

Now for Details.Post so of your wants.Like plants,seeds,Beauty,food,hobbies-other than garden etc.

Then we will make a wish list of everyones list and everyone picks one thing from that list to send to everyone.

example I like lavender,so in every package someone may get a part of me,Or i like to cook,listen to music,

then when we have 20 people,Each person will send something from everyones wish list -20 items -dont have to be huge,It is sharing a bit of everyone with each other.

Please do not tell what you are sending of everyones list-Let it be a surprise.But send 1 thing from everyones list.

    Can I ask a question? Would this be every one sending to everyone else (meaning each of us send out 20 different packages)? Because that would be close to $100 just for mailing...if going priority....
    I just want to make sure I understand how it would work before I sign up. :O)

    I would like to know the above too. I am a little confused.

    The way I understand it...Everyone gets a trade partner, like a regular robin swap, and then picks ONE thing from everyone's list to send to their partner. So everyone gets 20 different things (or however many there are doing the swap) from ONE person.

    Like...I would pick one thing from Laurie's list, one from Rosies, one from Michelles...and so on...and send them to my swap partner.

    Right?

    Ok -I have to straighten this out.20 players is limit,
    we make a wish list-we each get one swap partner.We send only 1 box.Then we take one item from each list and send it to our swap parter.

    So it will be if we have 20 people we get something from our player-Is the something from me-expression and a little bit of you is each of the other peoples wish list-it is a sharing of each other.Does not have to be large -does everyone understand-?1 box 20 people one item of each person's list
