I agree with Jerry: I will send only commemorative stamps and I hope to receive only commemorative stamps, not the standard, definitive ones.And that way I think it can be a wonderful swap.

stevado and jerry I agree with you - but if I get one of you for partner I don't have any stamp for you - you both collect such specific themes ... I should rethink my participation in this swap ...

Nice to see so much discussion going on here and so many participants also! It is said in the swap-rules, that you shouldn´t list very difficult themes or at least you should have some easy themes, so that everyone has the chance to send something from your list. It´s sad if someone can´t participate due to the too difficult themes...

I understand Pikkis, I will make it a bit larger, wider: Japan, birds, butterflies, textiles and textile-techniques, children book illustrations and children drawings, all about wedding/marriage. My first list above from jan 3 of course, does not change, those are my real favorites.

Thanks stevado, that will make things much easier, I think!

Yes I am in! 1. Childrenbookillustrations 2. Christmas 3. Fairy Tales 3. Cute 4. Japan 5. Cartooncharacters (Hello Kitty/Miffy etc) 6. Toys 7. PINK

Hooray! A swap I can participate in! My themes are: dogs, Philippines, letter writing, feminists, cute / cartoon characters not from USA, space / science & technology, Christmas stamps, books / reading. Prefer pre-2000s for US stamps, and if you're having trouble sticking to my themes just know that the weirder and/or older, the more I'll be fascinated. :)

My theme : 1. NOT USA, 2. Vintage stamp, 3. Large size stamp, 4. Unusual print stamp

I'm sorry Teja and I also understood Pikkis. I will list more themes to make it easier. My themes : 1. Portugal 2. Finland 3. lighthouses 4. WWF 5. Baltic states 6. tall ships 7. locomotives 8. TinTin 9. Fauna.

Thanks Jerry for understanding and adding some easier themes :)!

hi! i'm new here and would love to join...i can accept any stamps since i don't have much stamps yet, but it's difficult for me to send to my partners then =(

BlackRainbow, perhaps you can find some other postage stamp-swaps here which are not based on certain themes! Just click the Find swaps-button and try it!

This swap did not really start yet and I am sure I will give Pikkis a star. Not only the idea deserves a star, but also a perfect coördinator answering everyone so soon and so correct, my complements for Pikkis.

Thank you stevado, so kind of you :)! Hopefully everyone will be satisfied also when the partners have been assigned and the stamps sent and received!

I hope it´s ok for everyone that I´ve edited the swap a bit and the last day to sign up will be already tomorrow! I´m anxious to get partners assigned, so that everyone can start swapping!

I´m in! Here are some of my favorite themes: 1.) birds 2.) art 3.) Olympic games 4.) Soccer championships 5.) dinosaurs 6.) people/cultures/folklore 7.) authors 8.) letter writing 9.) libraries 10.) books 11.) colorful stamps 12.) unusually large stamps 13.) anything somehow "odd"
