Description:
I LOVE my big purse. I carry lots of things, and am always looking for new items to add. Participants of the swap will take a nice (but not necessarily new) purse of at least medium size (like at least 12"x12"x3") and STUFF it with things you would typically find in a purse (these must be new/unused)...breath mints, gum, keychains, sunglasses, wallets, lip balm, checkbook covers, word searches, key blanks, pens, pencils, highlighters, calculators, planners, travel sized first aid items...these are some ideas. Use your imagination, get creative, but not too creative....meaning, a can of tuna is not an item you would find in many purses! Let's make this fun! You are welcome to look at your partner's profile for ideas/little extras but any extras should not make up the bulk of the swap. They should only be a couple added things for fun. Look for things found in a purse, though not necessarily YOUR purse. Maybe you never carry a brush, but you are welcome to put one in your partner's bag. Let's stuff these full, people. Due to costs of swap and my desire to have no risk of flakers, 4.95 rating required, at least 10 type 3 swaps.

Pouty Face - what a great idea. I am Canadian, so cant join. PS - as I type I do have a can of tuna in my purse. Happy Swapping!

GrammaSherry, perhaps you could host a Canadian version?

Please, someone, host an international one. I hosted one a few months ago and loved it!

I really like the idea of this swap and have already started compiling things to add to a purse for a partner!! Holding off for now from deciding on a purse and fun stuff till partners are assigned.

neat swap!!! I just joined, so need to get my rating up. Will you be doing these in the future? I am going to start stuffing a purse and hopefully have my rating up by the next one :)

ladywolfsong 06/29/2012 #

I did one before @esjmommy ....I was excited about it but ultimately disappointed in what I received. I am trying again, and will see how it goes. I hope I was more specific this time. If all goes well I may host one every couple months or so.

@ladywolfsong Hopefully this one goes better for ya and is more of what you were thinking for in terms of the swap! :)

Random thought to share... how many times have you found you needed to measure something while at the store but don't have a tape measure? ever be eating at a restaurant and find something has gotten on you're clothes (tide stain sticks are pretty handy!)? Need to sew on a fallen off button or need to do a quick repair (very small sewing kits can be found in any sewing section in the craft section of a store)? Just thought I'd throw those ideas out there, obviously no need to add these to your stuffed purse you're sending to your partner... just a few more suggestions.

those are great thoughts @handsdown46785 !

Thanks, I have a couple more but totally want them to be surprises for my partner that I'm sending to. :) I think this thing is going to be completely packed by the time it comes for me to mail it! lol

How sad am I for being really really excited about getting a partner for this swap to send to?!? I'm laughing at myself for it!

ladywolfsong 07/10/2012 #

not sad....I can't wait either. Looks like I got flaked on for my last swap (a big one) so am even more excited for this.

handsdown46785 07/10/2012 #

:( That's so not cool that you got flaked on! Crossing my fingers that you get a really cool partner for this one and that you get pampered with it! :)

are we sending a purse also?

ladywolfsong 07/11/2012 #

yes "Participants of the swap will take a nice (but not necessarily new) purse of at least medium size (like at least 12"x12"x3") and STUFF it"
