I love BRADS (paper fasteners)

I love brads and im hoping other do as well.Im not talking about your mothers boring old paper fasteners but the fun, cute, funky and different shaped, themed and unique style brads.The ones you get from eyelet outlet, just brads, buttons galore, craft stores and anywhere else that sells the great versatile little craft embellishment know as a drum roll ........BRADS (and not brad Pitt people)

Okay well now that we know what a brad is let's start swapping.For this swap you will send your partner atleast 30 shaped or themed brads.Easy enough i know others have to have the adorable brads like I have collected and we buy a pack of 8 or more and maybe only need one or two.So this is a great way to get some some different styles we don't have and pass some of our overload on to a new home to punch holes in paper all over the world!

Here are the do's and don'ts of this swap. -DO SEND ATLEAST 30 BRADS NO MORE THEN 2 OR 3 OF THE SAME ONES

-DONT SEND BASIC ROUND, SQUARE, MINI, OR ANY OTHER BASIC BRAD EVERY BRAD LOVER HAS TO MANY OF ALREADY

-DONT SEND 20 FLOWERS AND 20 STARS IN DIFFERENT COLORS AND THINK THAT WIll MAKE YOUR PARTNER HAPPY send what you hope to get in return, please a fun selection of types, sizes etc

-DONT SEND BROKEN OR DAMAGED BRADS

-DO DIG INTO YOUR STASH AND FIND DIFFERENT , CUTE BRADS YOU THINK YOUR PARTNER MIGHT NOT HAVE OR WOULD THINK WHERE DID THEY FIND THESE(of course any cute shaped, themed ones work just fine)

-DO SEND ON TIME AND IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY, MOST SWAPPERS UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE HAPPENS BUT THEY CAN ONLY THINK YOU ARE FLAKING IF YOU DONT SEND ON TIME WITH NO CONTACT! use manners people swapping should be fun not stressful

AS much as i understand everyone starts unrated as im fairly new.iI also know every issue of flaking or late sending i've delt with in my short swapbot history has been a newbie, So sorry guys but you must be rated for atleast 2 type 2 or 3 swaps to join and have no 3s that don't have a response to them and no 1s at all (sorry but if u didn't send at all once I have to conclude you would do it again if wanted to improve ratings you would have bent over backwards to resend, send it at all or fix the one to atleast a 3) I will be checking all swappers along the way and really good prior to assigning partners and will band all swappers i feel will cause issues.This is my 1st hosted swap and i dont want no good swappers messing it up so if you dont swap fairly don't join as i will ban if i feel i need to. (Swappers if see someone questionable sign up pm please and let me know if you know something not on their profile etc)

Now that we know the rules, lets swap! I will angel if needed but i dont think and I hope that's not the issue. If you get atleast 30 brads that fit the requirements please rate a 5 even if you get a dog brad and horse brad and you are not an animal lover etc After all this is a way to get brads we don't have or don't need a whole pack of.
