Spring Bead swap?

[ShysCreations]

If other beading BYCers are interested, I'd organize a swap for us. We had some last autumn & summer. Thought I'd send out a feeler to gauge interest....
Would do it the same way....Have people email their name & address.....then shuffle all so that each has a partner....and send out the mailing info.

What are the general guidelines? Do you go by $ value?

I'm interested. I have an obsession with beads. LOL

The dollar value was $15 or u can do more. I tended to need a cleanup of my bead box so had a plenty to send, maybe it fit another's project. how about we end the signup March 24, then I can send the shipping info for swap partners. Though the person who sends u beads may not be the one u send to. Say have your package sent in the first week of April?
We don't want to leave anyone out who sent beads. So if signing up to participate, please follow thru.

Oops, the $$ amount was $10. I found the former rules:



Disclaimer
This swap is not endorsed by BYC (owner, website, staff, etc.). The BYC Staff is not responsible and will not mediate if something goes "wrong" or a deal goes "bad". If you choose to participate in a swap, it is best to know who you are swapping with and not to swap more than you can afford to lose.
The BYC Staff is sensitive because some past swaps have not worked out. We want our members to feel comfortable having fun with these and other social interactions, but please keep in mind that there were issues with some organizers and swappers not following through on their commitments in the past.
