Description:

This is a swap for those of us who can't get enough of mystery swaps.

For this swap you will have one partner. You will create a package of color themed items specific to that swap partner's color choice.

What this means is everyone must choose what color they want to receive. Please list your color choice in the comments so when you are assigned your partner you can send accordingly.

*(Sorry I just found that I can't assign partners myself)

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, white, grey or pink

The only limitation is you must spend at least $10 before shipping.

What could you possibly do color themed? The possibilities are endless!

As mentioned before you will only have one partner, so be prepared to be creative. This swap is international also.

Newbies may enter but must have a complete profile.

I think that covers everything. If you have any questions or concerns about this swap, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I am pretty sure you can not assign partners that way. The computer assigns them for you and you have no control over who gets whom. But I love this idea!

TeaNi 02/11/2008 #

yep, kgeslab is correct, it's randomly assigned by the computer. What you could do, though, is just have everyone list in the comment section the color they would like to receive, and then their partner would send them random "mystery items" of that color. A blue person might be assigned to send to a grey person, but it wouldn't matter because everyone would still receieve the color they wanted.

valeriehope 02/11/2008 #

I made the edits in the swap to reflect that I can't choose the partner. Thanks everyone for messaging me! Glad I fixed that fast!

TeaNi 02/11/2008 #

great! I may sign up closer to deadline as I get some of my current swaps out. (also, just fyi, you can delete those previous comments if you choose to avoid confusion for those who view the swap later:)

vee41dmb 02/11/2008 #

this sounds fun. i may also sign up when the date gets closer. I'm still a "newbie" which means i can sign up for 5. I hate that, because i have to wait for the dates to come.. if anyone knows when that limit will change, please drop me a message. thanks a lot Vee*

caresalot 02/11/2008 #

konstantine728 02/23/2008 #

pink! polka dots are a bonus!

ChicCityGal 02/23/2008 #

I have a question because I have never been in a "Theme" swap before. When you say theme are we supposed to get items of our partners colors and make a theme from them for instance let's say my partner say blue and green. I can make their items a Beachy marine theme? Am I wrong or correct depending on the color they pick or just get items in the color they choose?

AliceAtTheBeach 02/28/2008 #

I love yellow,green is # 2.

kgurliek 02/29/2008 #

I love purple. Well, purple and brown. That's how I'm decorating my bedroom. If I had to pick just one, it would be purple.

catsmeow 02/29/2008 #

Bright pink or lime green.

ChicCityGal 03/ 1/2008 #

HELLO Can anyone answer my question PLEASE?

AliceAtTheBeach 03/ 3/2008 #

Hi ChicCityGal, You are correct. Your partner only gets to choose their color and you can do their package in any theme you choose. So if someone's color is yellow(like mine) you could send anything that is yellow to me(such as-sunflower seeds,yellow dishtowels,yellow napkin rings, etc) Hope this helps.

ChicCityGal 03/ 3/2008 #

Thank you so much for answering my question Alice, I appreciate it! See now I can do a much better swap and won't be guessing in the dark.

lunagoddesswithin 03/ 3/2008 #

We just signed up, and we choose VIOLET as our colour. We prefer a mix of all tones and shades of it: lavender, lilac, purple, dark violet, light violet... you get the idea.

renaemarie 03/12/2008 #

I'll go with any one of the following -- you choose:

whites to creams greens blues

This is a great idea!

hadenmaiden 03/15/2008 #

Brilliant idea, so glad I found this just before the sign up time!! Only one problem, I like so many colours...... something cheerful. Can I say, any colour, just surprise me with one of your own favourites ;)

lkane564 03/15/2008 #

I love darker shades of blue. or purple. I just don't like sky blue or light purple.

orangejuice 03/15/2008 #

I like shades of green and blue...maybe somewhere in between? Surprise me!

xicarazul 03/15/2008 #

Purple and black for me

Lola15 03/15/2008 #

I love colours!! too hard for me to pick just one - I'll let my partner surprise me !! pink, yellow, orange, green are my faves (I think ;-)

kgeslab 03/15/2008 #

Yellow - the color of lemons and daffodils!

ladydy5 03/15/2008 #

Good idea, but themed? I can understand buying things in a color but why a theme? Maybe someone doesn't like marine theme with the blues, or oriental with the reds. Can't it just be items of the colors the partner wants but anything, such as a pink pin, pink sox, pink stationery, pink pen, etc.?

coquicola412 03/15/2008 #

Glad I found this in time! Sorry for the last minute sign-up. My favorite color is blue!

This will be fun!

paintedbooklady 03/15/2008 #

I love pink and aqua. You can choose. I love surprises.

paintedbooklady 03/15/2008 #

I just noticed that aqua wasn't a choice so blue works too.

AmandaC 03/15/2008 #

I love pink! Pink as pigs. Pink as toes. Pink as a rose or a baby's nose. Sorry, just had to. :D From The Color Kittens, my daughter's book.

exult 03/15/2008 #

Black is my fav right now :)

girlfloyd 03/15/2008 #

My favorite color is RED! :)

dragonfly 03/15/2008 #

I like green, favorite shade is lime green, but all greens are fine.

FingersInc 03/15/2008 #

I'll choose off white... this will include any white, cream, beige, ivory, light tans, etc. **To my partner... fabric, yarn, beads, would be my first choice of items, but papers for scrapbooking, gift wrap, thread, I think you could find all sorts of things that are "kinda" white. Any crafting items would be great... or if you want to make me a tote bag in off white colors would be especially loved ! hint hint... Email me if you have any questions. Thank you for hosting this one !!

SweetClementine 03/15/2008 #

We're gearing up for a hot summer here, so I think I'll choose some bright(not neon)summery colors--raspberry pink, lime green, turquoise, tangerine, sunshine yellow, bright blue, etc. I'm happy with a mix of these colors or just one of your choice. :-)

whinendine 03/15/2008 #

For my color I think I will choose pink. Thanks

GeorgeBee 03/16/2008 #
