Description:

USA and Canada only please. Any good swappers and new swappers as well are welcome. No one with a recent history of no-sends and ratings must be 4.7 or above. For those not familiar with yarn balls: buy a skein of yarn and as you roll it into a ball, wrap your items in it. When your partner receives it, they will get surprises as they unroll or use the yarn ball. This is a scavenger hunt, so you'll need to find the following items to put in your partners yarn ball:

*an office supply item

*recipe

*comic, cartoon or interesting article

*something black and white

*a sample like free samples you get in the mail, or a promotional item for ex: pen from a business

*something from a gumball/toy machine

*something crafty, either homemade or craft related

*something pampering like lotion, cologne, bubble bath, etc.

*decorate a band-aid (yes, take a band-aid and decorate it any way you want!)

*something with a fortune, quote, or horoscope

*something unusual, ugly, tacky or wierd

*something retro, vintage or historical

*something with at least one number on it

*wild card-you can choose to omit one item from the list, but send 2 items to replace it (your choice), or send a little surprise for your partner.

A total of 14 items will be in your yarn ball. There is a little of something for everyone here. Have fun with this! Please indicate somehow what item you chose for each clue.

Just letting everyone know that I will be on vacation from Aug. 3-10, so will not have a computer.

what type of yarn does the yarn ball need to be made of? :/

This is so neat! I love the idea! Just one request though is that who ever gets me, when it comes to that pampering thing, I absolutely can not do any floral scented perfumes, lotions, bubble baths, etc.or I will be an absolute mess and not be able to breathe. I would hate to have to throw the yarn ball out:( Unfortunately my own sister doesn't get it even though I have mentioned this and at Christmas time, have even had to throw her unwrapped gift away for the second year in a row. :( Citrus doesn't bother me though. Do you think this will be too hard of a request to swap out for me or should I drop out?

Any yarn will be OK except maybe the funky fir type, unless your partner has a preference or doesn't like a particular kind. needlewings-the pampering thing doesn't have to be something smelly, so don't worry about that. There's other ways of pampering ourselves!
