Rainbow Swap Signup Ends August 5th

[nnorthrop]

Okay so I missed the last colorful swap and I think this is basically an awesome idea!! So I thought I would have another one.. You must have at least 300 posts, and not be on the bad list to participate. Make sure you put down your favorite color along with a little bit about yourself. The limit for this one is $45.00 and I have made some increments that you HAVE to purchase, and then the rest is up to you! Tell everyone a little about yourself because that always helps as well. Assignments will be given August 6th and all packages must be sent out by September 1st.

XL-$15
L-$8
M-$5
S-$2

The rest is up to you.. Please be fair. I don't want to hear about people who are jipping others.. If you want a good box make sure you send one!!!!

Make sure you put a tracking number on your box!! :)

I am obsessed with these damn swaps!!!

My ultime favorite color is hot pink-or anything in pink tones.


I am 23 years old and work for a homeless outreach agency in Erie, Pensylvania. I love the beach-although past the middle of august you can't go around here. WE are really the snow capital of the world I swear! I have been married for 3 years, and I love paris although I will never have the money to go. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter named isabella who is my life. I love love love candles for my office-and any kind of cool office supplies-I practically live here at the office, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job. I also collect willow tree angels, I have been wanting a little one that is holding a wire thing that says "hope" which would be awesome because I work for project hope. :) Thanks to my future swap buddy!!!

Thanks light.. I never thought of the things I don't like! I don't wear hats either! I wear a 2xl shirt.. And I love cheap dangly earrings, as long as they aren't tacky!! :) (No crosswords here either)

Hello everyone, I am a 28yrs. old female. The joys of my life are my 4 little adorable daughters. They are my reign of sunshine when there is nobody else. My favorite colors are Ocean Blue and Lime Green . I know two bright colors but I love them together. I love mystery movies and books. The suspense is what I look for of I thought that was the person but it was someone else. I also love picture frames because the come in different sizes and shapes. I just want to put all my memories on the wall of my children and I. I also love and thing that smell really good in body sprays or lotions. The other part of my life is my job that I love so much. I work @ Project Hope for the Homeless in Erie, Pa . Yes, just like my other 2 co-workers that are particapating in this swap.! I hope that everyone get something they like! :wavy:

[ktfern]

I would like to participate. I am a soon-to-be-retiree who loves red and patriotic red, white, and blue items. I wear a 2XL shirt. I collect seal/sea lions items and like anything "beachy". I am an avid NASCAR fan and Dale Sr. will always be my favorite. I collect #3 Dale Sr. and #8 Dale Jr. items. I don't like real strong scents, I love black licorice and chocolate (must be sugar free as I am diabetic). Of course since I am retiring soon, I will have more time for sweeping so sweep supplies are always appreciated--stamps, postcards, decorated envies, markers, etc.

Okay, count me in.

My favorite color is yellow. I am a 43 yo sahm with two boys ages 13 and 5. I wear a size medium in clothing and size 6 in shoes. I have begun a new healthy eating lifestyle so I am staying away from sweets. I workout regularly with weights and I run. I enjoy cooking, baking and gardening. I also enjoy strong, black teas (both hot and iced), but do not like coffee. My hair is shoulder length and I could use some barrettes to keep it back and also some brushes since one of mine recently broke. I have pierced ears and I do like interesting earrings and necklaces as well as the stretchy type bracelets. I also have a dog (a pomeranian) and a cat (orange tabby). For shopping, target is my favorite store. I do not care for perfumes or body lotions but do like scented soaps. Any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Since this is a rainbow swap, I figure I will add my two boys favorites. My 13 yo likes red and my 5 yo likes blue as does my dh.

I swore I'd not do another swap, but decided to give it one last go...keeping fingers crossed for better luck this time.

My favorite colors are green and yellow. I collect butterflies and wear a size 16/XL. Love puzzle type books (especially the one with logic problems, sudoku,etc). I love cappuccino (the instant kind I can make at home) and Starbucks (for when I go out of town). My favorite places to shop are Wal-Mart, JCPenny, OLD NAVY, and Amazon. Could really use some mineral makeup (light) and anything Proactive. Love to read and write poetry, so journals are good. Good pens. We mostly eat at McDonald's, Sonic, Arby's, Taco Bell and Wendy's. (only thing around). Dvd's are good, family oriented type. (can be used). We have a PS2, and games for the kids are good or easy games for mom. (can be used). Really need some pans, and washclothes/towels for the bathroom. (our towels are almost see thru.. :confused: )

I have two kids: girl aged 7 and boy aged 3.

We have two chihuahua's, cats, two big dogs, parakeet and a ferret. Always can use FEBREEZE and plug in air freshners.

You might want to fix that before the swap begins :) Anyway I know the buddies won't be given out until the 6th but I was wondering if it is at all possible to get mine on the 5th. I am headed on vacation then and would like to opportunity to shop for my buddy while I am away in case I see some unique things there.

I tried to send this as a PM but nnorthrop your box is full...

Hi Nnorthrop.

Unfortunately I found out today that I probably won't have a job in 30 days. And because of this, DH and I will lose our home and have to move.. so there is no money for extra's at this point.

I hate to ask but can you please excuse me from this swap? I really do want to participate but I wouldn't be able to buy anything for a swap buddy at this point.

I am truly sorry and hope you don't consider me a "bad" swapper.. I am truly worried about the future of my home and family and dont want to let a swap buddy down.

I can delete my post in the Rainbow Swap as soon as you so it's okay.

Thanks for understanding!!

Tina

Nnorthop still hasn't cleaned out his/her pm's. Anyone else thinking this swap is a no go?

Perhaps making a post on the what's on your mind thread might get nnorthop's attention or pming a mod to see when they were last online.
