Im sorry INT'L Friends I just cant afford packages INT'L.

THIS SWAP REALLY DOESNT HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH MARDI GRAS 'CEPT WHEN I THINK OF TRINKETS I ALWAYS THINK OF MARDI GRAS WHICH IS JUST A SPRINGBORAD.

The signup/send time will mimic the parade route, the bag 0' trinkets will mimic the parade throws and it will end on Fat Tuesday.

The swap:

1. Contained in a plastic baggie or paper bag you will send your partner 15 trinkets, doo-dads, bobs, thingies.

For a less restricted swap try this swap......
Funky junk for Altered Minds

This can range anywhere from the most obvious to the less obvious.

1. .NOthing Paper, sequins.

   ...NOthing animal orgin.

2. NO duplicates

Send a variety. "If I'm NOT sending duplicates then it must be a good variety, right"? "No, NOt entirely."

YOu WOULDNT want to send say, 3 acrylic beads even if they all were in a different shape. The repetitive "acrylic" and same "genre" would not work. 2 acrylic items yes, both in the same genre, no.

MAX 2 in the same genre/material OK.

Examples.........but not limited to.....

coins toy or real

one stationery item i.e, shaped paper clip, but not ordinary clip.

beads

charms

imitation/real doubloons

toy/game pieces

P.s........

..

.........3's suck. They lower your score, prevent a swapper from joining swaps and in many cases unnecessarily hurt people. If you feel you need to rate a 3 please contact the swapper first.

Say noooooooooo to these 3's: The 3 given by the double profiler whos gone the next day, the moody 3, Im making up my own rules 3, the vindictive 3, I got-a-3-youre-getting-a 3, the angry 3, the made up 3, I-dont-care-what-the-rules-are 3, you-sent-one-day-late-3-and-didnt-tell-me-3, Im-sending-your-envie-off-to-the-crime-lab-and-when-it-returns-3. lol
