Swap #1

 

Louis-Justin said something that cracked me up this week! He said (in French, obviously, but I’m translating): “I’m in love with little girls and Sharpies.” So funny! He likes pens as much as his mom… I’m proud of him! He’s on the right track.

 

Today I want to start a new project. I’ve decided to do swaps on my blog from time to time. It’s pretty easy: I show you what I have up for grabs, you tell me what you can offer in exchange (or better yet, you show me some pictures) and then I choose my partner(s). Sounds fun?!

 

So let’s start with swap #1…

 

I’m offering you 45 sheets of stationery – 15 sheets each of the following 3 designs:

The sheets are 3.75″ x 8″ and were designed by OhSudzGifts. You can take a look at the listing on Etsy. The 3 “sarcastic statements” I picked are:

  • Do I look like a people person?
  • Well, aren’t we just a damn ray of sunshine!
  • Dinner is ready when the smoke alarm goes off!

 

I have enough sheets to swap with 3 people. If you’d like to receive this stationery, what can you send me in exchange? (Pictures are appreciated, but not necessary.) I have perfect ratings / feedback on Etsy and Swap-Bot, so you can trust me! :)

 

Here are some of the things I like: stationery in general – letter sets, envelopes, notecards, postcards (but not anything touristy), notepads, sticker sheets, washi tape… I would also love receiving candy, surprises for Louis-Justin, bento boxes and accessories, used games for my son’s Nintendo DSI, unused Canadian stamps, etc. For more ideas, check out my Swap-Bot profile! And feel free to offer anything that’s not on my list – it might be something that I’d love too!

 

So, who wants to swap with me?!

  1. I would be into swapping with you, Julie…
    I can send you gel pens for Louis-Justine, a notepad for you, some envelopes…where can I post a picture of what I’d like to send to you?

  7. Thank you for your offer, Eda! However, I have already agreed to swap with Marta, Shanna and Vanessa.

    To everyone else who takes a look at this swap – it is now closed! But I’ll post new swaps eventually.

Hello!

My name is Julie and I'm 33.
I live in Québec (close to Montréal) and I speak French.

I write letters, I love stationery and I have a handwriting fetish. I often eat sushi, still feel like I'm 16 and only wear skirts & dresses (with colorful tights when it's cold).

I'm happier with a mind full of ideas, a mailbox full of letters from my penpals, a shop full of stationery, a house full of cats and a day full of hugs.
