A cup of tea & a magazine page swap #4

I love these swaps :-)

I'd love any article in Japanese or German! Cooking, craft, lifestyle, decorating, health....

Just a note for those sending to Australia, please make sure teabags are sealed and have ingredients listed on them or they probably won't get through customs :-.

They also often remove herbal teas. Sometimes I think it depends on whether they are feeling nice or not!

Argh - apologies, I have to pull out - I'm moving house on the 13th April! Will join the next one!

Hi all - I have done this one before and I loved it! So here I am again -

Just to let you know that I have a ALLERGY to something I CANNOT have anything with HONEY in it. So please watch your labels.

Other then that Send what you like.

I´m allergic to nuts and fruit..although in tea the fruit doesn´t matter as long as it isn´t fresh. Nuts though is a HUGE problem.

Thanks,

~Jellybaby~

Please no spearmint, I have the weirdest allergy I think I've ever heard of. :)

Would prefer if my partner does not send any Chinese teas! (oolong, iron buddha, etc) Other than that, I'd love to try anything!

I appreciate magazine articles with lovely visuals.

If you don't like the tea / beverage your partner sends, you can always leave it out in the coffeebreak area at your work. As far, as articles, that's up to the sender, right?

I got a little miffed last time in this swap because so many people had so many demands about beverage, topic of article, and language of article. ( I was worried about getting a bad rating if my partner said she'd like to read about wine, for example, and she's learning Swahili but I didn't happen to have the Swahili version of a wine mag).

It's supposed to be an easy swap, so let's be open to getting a surprise. I understand that people with allergies should post allergies, but as far as preferences, let's be flexible! :)

I'd love any kind of berry tea, but will drink pretty much anything that isn't Earl Grey.

Caffeine gives me migraines unless it's in milk chocolate

I'm still hoping for something asian, will try again :) I also love knitting magazines and I'm a techno-freak ;)

I would love a cup of tea, but please no citrus (no lemon, orange etc) since I'm alergic.

I subscribe to the New Yorker and Natl Geographic already. In case you live in a francophone country, I would love something in French! But I am interested even in things I can't read. thanks

I like all kinds of tea and tisane, although I'm least interested in tisane with hibscus/rosehip as a main ingredient. If you are a loose-tea drinker, send me a spoonful of loose tea in lieu of a teabag, that's fine!!

I agree with Lily Lemon's post, in hoping that people won't base their scores on whether or not they get what they "want." That would be really unfair.

But OTOH, I have lots of great teas and magazine articles, and it's nice to share something with someone who will be especially appreciative. I don't feel obligated to fulfill people's prefs, but if I can, that's nice for us both.

thanks for your consideration, J

Is it okay to fold the article, to be placed in a #10 envelope, or, should the artcle not be folded? thank you.

Morning Friends,I am new to this and love the ideas you all have.Can you tell me who I swap with please?

Amanda, I'll answer for the swap host in case she is busy.After the sign up date she has up to 3 days to screen the list of people who signed and when she does it you will get an email telling you that your partner is available to view. You then come back to this page and at the top click on 'View my partner' and bingo - there are the details!

Many thanks Helen.

This is my first swap!

I'm not big on fruity or flowery. I love English and Irish Breakfast Teas. I'll be willing to try others - if you think they aren't too froo-froo. :) Oh, love mint teas too!

I love reading about anything in the health, arts, culinary realm. I'll be happy to get any article you send, it doesn't have to be related to the ones I listed.

Redmill-I love country living, home companion, real simple, quilting magazines, country home and Southern Living. I am easy going.

This will be my first swap, but I'm very excited. I love a good cup of a tea and reading magazines. No allergies, so I'm up for any type of tea you send my way. I'd love an article with lots of images, but I couldn't care less what its about, what language or any of that. I'm just excited to be in a swap!

Wow, over 100 people have joined this swap. This should be interesting.

This sounds like so much fun! I am new to this, but I can already tell I'll be addicted in no time!

CAUTION - to ALL swap-bot swappers -

If you EVER come across a swapper with ANY of the following info, BEWARE - she has been scamming swap-bot since the beginning, I don't know if she EVER has sent anything!

JENNA ~ PERRY ~ QUIGLEY ~ Oak Street ~ EUGENE ~ OREGON

She is NOW using the swap-bot ID "Aloha"

(Any of those words in her email, website, or swap name - do NOT send to her, unless she sends and her items are RECEIVED!)

She now has a rating of 1 - which is a good thing, once she deletes her profile, which she probably will do, those will all disappear - -

SO MAKE A NOTE OF THE ABOVE - - AND BEWARE!

MaryB

And just to add to Mary's message about about the above swapper. At the moment she is calling herself Aloha Quigley-Perry and you will find it says to contact her for her address details.

This is my first swap and I am really looking forward to it! I dont have a preferance on anything,so dont worry and lets have fun!

I received a mail last week, the sender didn’t label anything so I just assume it's from this swap I was rather disappointed with the sender coz he / she went me an advertisement for a book about paper dolls, I was expecting article to read in this swap, not a single piece of magazine page telling me what's inside the book and how much the book costs. I hope the sender will email me after reading this Thx

Cheers, YS (Malaysia)

Athalie in Australia, your care package went out via airmail on this, the luckiest of days, lol! Hope you enjoy the goodies I sent!

Oops! I forgot to click that I sent my package. Embla, your package is on its way to you as of yesterday morning! I added a few extras so I hope you enjoy it all. :)

And Juli - I got yours the other day! Chai is my favorite kind of tea so that was immediately welcome and thank you for the whole magazine to read. I've glanced at Domino before but never purchased it to read. I'm going to enjoy it with my new tea! :)

Shanno! in Florida, your pages and tea are on their way to you :)!!!

Chai, I sent your tea packet on Saturday! I hope that everyone weathered well through the weekends' wild weather!

I received some very interesting articles on azalea's, my Mum will find them just as interesting too and also 2 recipe's which I will most certainly be making. I have loads of fruit in the freezer just waiting for something tasty to make with them.

Thanks so much SZReader.

Nadine,
Thank you for such a lovely package! I love everything! You did a wonderful job on your first swap!!! Thank you! DeAnne

luvsseattle, your envelope is on its way today!

Thanks...Embla. I received my package and was sooo much fun receiving tea and chocolates from Norway. The pictures in the articles are lovely and you were right, I can not read Norwegian but lots of fun to have and keep for my scrapbook. Thanks again for such a great swap. Alice-At-The-Beach

I wonder if I'll get a article and tea this time... Nothing yet :(

Eeeek. My end will be in the mail today. Sorry!!

Michele - you envelope arrived today. How very generous to send such a huge and heavy magazine! Thank you! The envelope had completely opened - but all was there, I think - from the Morse-card to the teas, stickers, chocolate and even a few small flowers.:-)

Not heard from anybody yet. Hopefully soon. And scowlette, have you gotten yours yet? I sent it almost two weeks ago. Let me know so I can resend if need be. Thanks Denise

Hi: I was on vacation & sent my package iout on 4/14/07 from Lancaster, PA. This was the first day that I had access to my computer, since I am now back home. . . .and I would think that my package has already.

Thanks,

Sharon

I haven't received yet, either. It's always nice if you're sending out late to give your partner a head-up (it's nice, even when it's not going out late, for that matter).

On another note, some swappers' icons/avatars/whatever-you-call-'ems are oversized which throws the whole list of participants into strange formatting. Can swappers fix those?

Hi Scowette, Your great pages and teas arrived in New Zealand Monday. Thanks a bunch, love them :-)))

Jenni, I mailed yours off over 2 weeks ago, did it arrive ok? I'm nervous about it getting lost -- if it didn't get to you, let me know so I can resend, ok? Thanks!

Mercurialmagpie, I recived a thick envelope today! Thank you for sendig a whole magazine. It's so nice to read a new magazine, even the ads are interesting. lol I can't wait to try the teas, and the bookmark is beautifull! You really brightend my day!

I received the most wonderful swap package from Wendy this week! A great "tea" magazine and a beautifully wrapped package of teas!! Thank you so much Wendy!!!! Hugs!

Jenni... thanks for the teas and the article, I received them today!!! The selection of teas was very generous of you... I'll have a great time tasting them all! Thanks a lot!!!

Raydance - I got the swap today! I love it!!! (hearts!)

FleaGirl - I received your package today!! WOW!! Thank you so much!! I'm looking forward to sitting down with a cup of tea and reading the mag!! Thank you so much!!!

I got it! Thanks Jenny!

pinkwhirlitop - that was a LOT quicker than I expected! Glad you like the package! XD

ARG!!!! The person who was supposed to send to me in this swap is the same I got a notice in another swap that had deleted her account :(

Hope the article I sent arrived safely...

Noel - please let me know when you have recieved them so I know that they are not lost in the mail.

~Mystical Angel~
