Newbie Vs Vet Swap (New again)

I'm not waiting for a vet, Christina T. and I am swappin' it up! And I applaud your moxie!

Okay thanks for the update!

I am swapping with Selina G. as her vet Although it should be completed soon, just waiting on package to arrive

Hey. I'd like to be added to the list as a rookie.
CO+K Name: Ashley S.
Country: Georgia, United States
Ship Internationally? Yep.

Thanks for taking this on.Amanda T and I are still in action so I'll let you know when we're complete

I received Tessa S's package today, and love everything in it.
Included was:
*1 flower coaster with
*matching bumble bee eraser (perfect for school)
*An over-sized book marker, perfect for huge textbooks!
*Something for V-day,(It's hanging outside my doorway)
*Cupcake fimo bracelet with magnetic clasps (functional!)
*Felt mouse stuffed with something crinkly with an adorably long bell tail.

She also included 2 postcards of her hometown for my swap book.

She did a very good job and was even cool enough to include a toy for my kitties! I am sending her package out today.

Aww! Sign me up!
CO+K Name: Crafty Kat
Country: Derbyshire, England
Ship Internationally? Yeah, why not!

Crafty Kat, you've been added to the list =]

We need some vets ASAP!!

I can only swap again at the end of February when I get more cash because I've used most of January's money on the other swap I'm taking part in at the moment

For the newbies who are signing up now, here are the basic rules, etc:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

How to Apply:

Simply copy/paste this questionnaire, and fill it out with your information. Your name will be added to the previous list of newbies waiting to be paired up. Vets need not fill out a form. Simply contact a person on the waiting list!

Can you ship internationally?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

How It Works:

A veteran will see your name in the list and send you a message, or reply on this board. Once you sign up, please keep a look out for this message. Return to this topic often to check for updates!

Once you've been contacted your name will be scratched from the list because you won't be a newbie� anymore! Now comes the fun part! You and your partner will both make a few small items to be swapped with each other. Generally you'll make at least 3 items. They can be made from any materials, with any style you chose. Just make something nice, and send what you would like to receive. Your partner will do the same for you, sometimes sending a bit more, or even adding additional goodies for you.

After making your items, contact your partner on this thread, or by PM to let her know that you are ready to send out. Remember to always keep in contact with your partner! Even if it's just to say "hello, still working on your package", contact is always appreciated.

Unlike usual swaps where both partners send out on a specific date, the newbie sends her package first, and when it arrives, the veteran will mail her own package. (Because swapping is new for you, we'll do it this way. Sometimes new members sign up, but lose interest in the site and forget that they've committed to the swap). Some vets may send before or at the same time as their newbie though!

When you receive your package, it is customary to reply to the thread and comment on the receipt of your goodies. You can also post pictures!

After completing the newbie swap, you'll now have the confidence to join other, more specific swaps or to even start your own! Congratulations!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Specific Rules of the Newbie Swap:

*Newbies should Swap at least 3 items. It's a good idea for the Newbie to suggest 5 things she is comfortable making. Of those 5, the Vet will choose the 3 that she would like to receive. Try to keep the size and weight small to make shipping affordable.
*Newbies will be posted to a list of waiting to be paired�. A veteran will contact the newbie via board post or PM. When an agreement is made to swap, the veteran must contact me so I can scratch the name from the list.
*Sometimes a veteran may comment "whoever contacts me first will be my partner"� and then these two will be paired. (Remember to message me so I can update the list as necessary)
*The Newbie is required to send her package first. The veteran will send out once they receive from the newbie (or it can be left up to the partners to decide via PM)
*Contact must be made via PM or by board posts and various stages throughout the swap.

*Special Rule for Swap deadline Extensions:
The newbie swap is a good starting point for new members to decide whether swapping will fit into their schedules. Sometimes delays are encountered and deadlines are postponed. This is acceptable. HOWEVER, a newbie has but 2 months from the agreed upon send out date to ship her items. If she does not conform to this time line, her name will be added to the "Incomplete Swap" list (Swap Guide/End Survey) and she will be expected to complete this swap before joining another.
