Description:

How many times have you looked at someone's wishlist and had absolutely no idea what something is? Through Swapbot I have discovered sharpies and wax tarts to name but two.

And so .............

Your wishlist (up to 10 items) is to consist of things that (maybe you have seen listed) you do not know what they are (that is really bad English - sorry).

You will have one partner and send them 2 items off their list. This is possibly going to prove difficult as you may have to track down things you have no knowledge of. I had to do this for someone on a swap and, although terrified by her list, it was a fantastic challenge and one of the most enjoyable swaps I have done.

I have given plenty of time for you to find your swap items

I would suggest a value of $5 - 10.

Sorry, but no newbies for this one and ratings must be for proper swaps (not e-swaps. Everyone else to have a rating of 4.5+ please and I reserve the right to ban if I feel it is necessary.

Think that is all HAVE FUN

ok, i'm going to put up my list later today, because i have to think about this one. incidentally, we dont have to get everything on the list, right? because that really would'nt fit into the budget set...

Sezouli 08/27/2007 #

I'm working on mine!

hudykamis 08/27/2007 #

this is really great,i need to come up with a list!

(:

dreamerkins 08/27/2007 #

ok, my list.. some of these i know what they are, from descriptions here, or searching them on the net, but i never heard of it til i came here. also, ive never had one or made one.
1)deco or fb (ive been told they are the same thing? but still dont know what they are 2)chunky book
3)zine
4)amigurimi/stuffy
5)Stabilo pens (in the forums they said they are hard to get in the us, but easy in the uk. if you are in the us, youre better off avoiding this one...)
6) micron or copic pens
7)morsbag
8)kawaii anything
9)altered matchbox (please dont label it a 'shrine' as i dislike that word, though you can call it that to others)

dreamerkins 08/27/2007 #

i hope i havent made that too difficult. i know alot of those are handmade type items. and i don't mind if its your first try with any of it. o, i forgot # 10) inchies... i saw a swap on these, and i have no talent for small, but i'm interested in them. please label anything you send me so i can know what it is, since ive never actually seen anything on my list in person. some not even in pictures..

Is this USA or International?

Sally 08/27/2007 #

It is only 2 items you have to send

It is International

SaRaH - I think you are missing the point - this wish list is for things that you have seen maybe here on swapb ot but you have no idea what they are and want to find out!

  • chunky books
  • morsbags

KnittingCateling 08/29/2007 #

Oh, please add biscornu to my wish list ... I looked all over the place searching for that word when I was making my list and then I came across it in someone's profile today. :)

Bec 09/ 2/2007 #

I can't think of 10 things?? Hope these are enough....

Stuffie Amigarumi Kawaii Magic yarn ball ATC's chunky books matchbox - I've seen a few swaps of "matchboxes" obviously in other parts of the world they are quite different to what we call matchboxes in Australia so I'd love to see one!

Rae4Beach 09/ 5/2007 #

Hi All,
Fun idea! My List:
deco tape magic yarn ball
bottlecap shrine
altered matchbox

Phew, hope that is enough stuff I don't know about or only learned about on swapbot.

Phoenyx 09/ 6/2007 #
  • magic yarn ball (made one from my own ideas.. never received one)

IRIT 09/ 7/2007 #

OK- SO MAYBE IT IS MY ONLY POSSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT IS KAWAII AND WHAT DO YOU AMERICAN MEAN BY MATCHBOX (I THINK I KNOW- WE HAVE DIFFERNT ONE HERE) AND I SURE HAVE DOZENS OF STABILOS, BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT AMIGURUMI IS. DECOS- I DO IT ALL THE TIME- SELF AND ROBIN ROUND, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ZINE OR MORSBAG NOW WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE : FELTING- I DO IT DRY AND WET- BUT WHAT IS YARN BALL AND BENTO BOX. SO I HAVE 8 OF 10- BUT IS SHOULD BE OK P.S. ANYONE WHO WANTS STABILO - I CAN SEND IT TOO-HERE IN ISRAEL THESE ARE SCHOOL PENS- 48 COLORS,USUAL STAFF- GREAT FOR DOODLING- NOT ACID FREE.

litspec 09/ 9/2007 #

Yes, yes, yes!!! This is the swap I've been waiting for. If you can't find any of these items, I love handmade things. Any description you can give about these, such as where to find them or directions on how to make them, would be fabulous.

*biscornu (new to me too, Knitting Cateling)
*Pocky
*chunky book
*amigurumi
*morsbag
*cat eye ink pads (related to scrapbooking, I think)
*folded tea bags or paper folders (not sure if these are the same of not, but I love tea!)
*Pearl X
*ephemera
*altered CD

Rae4Beach 09/11/2007 #

Sorry, I'm in too many swaps right now and I need to drop. Have fun!

CarelessWhisp3r 09/16/2007 #

ok things i dont know what they are right... chunky book, Fat quarters, wax tarts, sticker flakes (i thought they were single stickers cut off a sheet but i guess not), amigurumi, bento box. everything else that i didnt know on here iv done a little research on to find out so i think it would be cheating to put thoughs things... thank you!!
