sorry, this round is now closed!
AT LAST! the third round of the sweetpea swap is finally here... and this is dedicated to all those adults who are known to be "just like a kid..." for those of us who love collecting toys, regardless of our age... those of us who eat dessert before dinner and prefer candy to vegetables... for those of us who have more children's books than our own kids... yes, this swap is for us "big" kids...
so this time, we are including junk food
in our packages to fulfill our partner's sweet tooth... and on top of
that, toys and maybe books! other than the food part, items can be old
or new (who wants old candy, anyhow?!)... if your partner likes
vintage/retro items, then you can old school golden books... or even
vintage children's patterns... for the fabric fanatics, you can add
cute kiddie material or even soft fleece and flannel... for the
crafters who want to add in handmade goodies?! feel free to make your
very own softie! and of course, some of us love the modern
items too so you are welcome to add that (come on, you have to admit
some of the barbies are pretty, eh?! and those babyz bratz are kinda
cute too!) this round is vastly open to fit just about anyone who wants
sweets and goodies... so please! come join in on the fun! and remember,
it's for us adults! our actual toddlers and children get plenty so now, its our turn!
so, what is the sweetpea swap? this is a
spot to exchange goodness and love around our lil earth... its a chance
to obtain stock or give away part of your surplus.... not to mention,
it's a wonderful excuse to shop, thrift, or craft! all things vintage
and new can be loved and appreciated here...
it's simple to join, and free too (aside from gift and shipping costs)... you need only to be a blogger or flickr addict... fill out the questions below and email me...you will then be partnered with someone swell and given info about them... and they too will receive your info (not anyone else)... there is no doubt you will be a loyal buddy who will ship out in the allotted time frame... after all, no one wants to have an empty mailbox! for those of you who are not from the states, i will be sure to partner you with someone who is willing to send boxes beyond the border... also, i will be taking members up to the week before shipping so that there is room for all!
1. your name, email, and mailing address
2. website and/or flickr addy
3. what do you do with your time?
4. what do you love lots and lots (collections? hobbies? colors? certain material?)
5. what kind of sweets and candies do you like? and what don't won't you dare ever eat?
6. for crafty purposes, do you have favored colors and/or patterns?! (as in, what's your style?) please also include what you do not like...
7. lastly, are you willing to ship internationally?
