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?!







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?
Great! If you don’t have a place where you can post pictures online (like FlickR, Facebook or photobucket), then you can just email me at julie@penpaloftheweek.com :)
Hi Julie! I would love to swap with you you. I can send you 10 hand made envelopes and some St. Patrick’s Day stickers…or if you have a sticker preference, just let me know. I’m constantly getting stickers for my two year old daughter.
i’ll email you right now.
I could send you a package with German chocolate if you’ld like one. Just tell me, if you have any favorite kinds.
Hello Julie,

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.
Thank you!
