Just checking to see if anyone is ready for a reverse swap? With families gearing up already for back to school and just general decluttering (like me

) I am ready for one of these.

I can't find my old outline that I use to c&p but I will do one from memory.

In this swap you will post your packages that you have available for others to choose from. The packages should be a $15 value before shipping. The packages should be numbered and you can give them a title so people get a quick idea of what they have in them. List your items honestly...if it has a stain say so...etc. The more packages you list, the more people have to choose from. Then you pm me your swap picks, again, the more choices you send me the easier match-ups go

Once I have everyones choices I will begin to work on match ups and post them as soon as I get it done. All packages must be mailed using delivery confirmation and you need to either post the dc here or pm it to your swap partner. You should leave feedback when you receive your package, good or bad

Here are the dates:

Post your packages by: July 30th
Pm me your choices by: August 2nd
Mail your packages by: August 15th

I found this on Karen's guidelines. I hope she doesn't mind me posting them here as a reminder:

there is also usually a minimum number of posts and length of time you should be a member before joining. (I think it's usually a member for 6 months and maybe 100 posts ? ) Also, no unresolved negative feedback.

Any questions- let me know. Let the posting begin

************************************************** ***
There were only a couple mamas I couldn't get in this swap. My appologies. Your user name followed by who you are receiving to followed by who you are sending to. Pm your partner for mailing addys, use delivery confirmation and post it here or pm your partner with the number, and remember to post when you receive your package and leave feedback!
(let me know if you see any mistakes...hopefully there aren't any

)
