 Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:00 pm Post subject: pampering swap --on hold |
 |
|
I will be posting my list later this evening, until then I will keep this locked.
The chosen hyena posts a list of likes and dislikes.
Just a reminder to everybody. This is not the on going wish swap. That list format is perfect for that swap, but it is not perfect for here.
It is more limiting and does not generate as many offers.
Your list should be a list of your likes, dislikes, sizes if you want clothes, ages and likes of children if you want things from them. Talents, etc. Favorite lists.
Then after the generals, you should include a list of specific items you would like. The list should not be catergorized, but just some dream items you want.
That combination of vague things you like and specific things helps people know what you want, without limiting them to very specific things.
Anybody who isn't on the no swap list can make an offer.
When making an offer make sure and follow these points.
1. Start your offer with my offer
2. The min. amount needs to be $20 before shipping, there is no max.
3. Be specific and include pictures. You can offer gently used items, just declare that. Even if your offer is of surprises, it should be specific. For example:
a. I offer to make you a surprise box to pamper you. It will have one item to eat, one item to read, some other goodies, and be valued at least $30
b. I offer to make you a surprise package of goodies that will weigh at least 1 1/2 lbs.
4. Include time frames of when you will be shipping. It is fine to take awhile as long as you specify. For example:
I will knit you a pair of sock. They will ship with 4 weeks of me getting your measurements.
The chosen hyena will take offers for 24 hours on weekdays and 48 on weekends (offers posted between 6 pm on Friday and 9pm on Sunday count as weekend offers) and then she will choose from the offers and crown a new chosen hyena.
If the chosen hyena does not have at least 3 offers in her time period, she can wait to make a decision until she does.
The new chosen hyena will create their own wish list and send out the package they promised.
Many questions have been asked or answered here:
http://hyenacart.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=148600&highlight=
also feel free to pm me any questions.
If for any reason you don't get what is promised let me know and I will help out with that.
Thank people for the offers. It does two things. One thing it is just polite. Two, it keeps the thread bumped up so I don't have to make sure it is.

I am Becky. 
I have been treating everybody else lately so I am very ready for a pampering package for me. Surprises are good as are items made by you.
Here are some of my favorites.
http://www.etsy.com/people/Beckyspapercreations/favorites?ref=si_fav
http://www.theloopyewe.com/wishlist/
I need blocking wires.
We also need wahm soap. It must be dairy egg, peanut, and nut free (it can have almonds, shea, and coconut)
don't like pink, yellow or pastels. I love vibrant colors, earthy and jewel tones.
I love fingering and sport weight yarn, but am pretty stash happy so it would need to be something on my with lists, or something pretty amazing. I love Madelinetosh tart, a long evolution type yarn, striping, semi-solid. Wollmeise twin in semi-solids/ solids, wollmeise 100% in varrigateds. Socks that rock in a skein with lots of color for pooling.
I would love some book making supplies, like:
word ribbons from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/baumcat (somebody had her make me some custom Jane Austen ones that I loved)
tapes from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/lillalotta (especially the baa, baa, duo)
instruction kits like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/58813328/caterpillar-centipede-stitch-and-drum
books in sheets like this http://volcanoarts.com/booksinsheets/index.htm
papers for journal covers like these http://www.phoenixartsupply.com/index.cfm
appliqued or embroidered fabric for journal covers
I like chocolate and salted caramels (prefer not a whole package).
I love to read the classics and love packages themed around a classic book..
I could use metal circs (not knit picks) suitable to ml in size 1, 1 1/2, and 2 1/2.
Clothes for me. Size L tops, 14/16 pants.
Amazon.com gift card, paper zone gift card
colorwork top down sock patterns, geometric or floral.
bath salts, bubble baths, fizzies (dairy, egg, nuts, and peanuts free)
I know I am forgetting a million things so feel free to stalk my posts and find my other lists and try me. I often don't know I want it until I see it.
Feel free to try me with things you make.

Thank you. This keeps getting harder.
Since I already have such great offers. I will take 24 hours and not 48.

This was seriously one of the hardest choices I had to make. I really wanted to say yes to everybody.
Thank you My Beautiful Girl, jessica0224, The Gumbo Lily, ElvinCreated, and saeria.
In the end I picked ElvinCreated, I couldn't say no to those tapes and other goodies.

YAY  I'm excited to shop for you Becky!!
I'm Sheri, WOHM to three, #4 due in Feb!
I love to cook, craft, & knit, but I haven't done much online shopping lately. I was just interviewed for a promotion at work (for management!) and it is my birthday in a couple of weeks
I like retro pin-up girls, The Beatles and Harry Potter. I enjoy little treats like caramels and sour hard candies are really helping my morning sickness & I want some more Blessed tea from Healing Pixie. I burn tea lights (scents below), and like pottery. I don't really wear jewellery except bracelets and rings occasionally.
I have 3 skeins of Licorice Twist that need to be knit up but I don't have time to make something for myself anytime soon.
Favourite colours: Jewel tones, I mostly wear purple, lime, brown, black, fuchsia, olive green (not all at once :p)
Clothes: Size 14ish bottoms & L -XL tops... I need some black maternity shirts (gently used ok)
Gift Cards: iTunes (Canada) or amazon.ca
Scents: nothing floral please. Love fruity, foody, sweet stuff
Etsy Faves: http://www.etsy.com/people/elvincreated/favorites?ref=favorites
TRY ME! I usually don't know what I want until I see it.

not really on your list but I offer:
1/2lb of cream soda fudge and 1/2lb of green tea fudge from Jewel of the Lion (both are vacuum sealed and were received a few weeks ago and stored safely in the freezer).
Also, a tin of Harvest Moon Chai Tea from Healing Pixie and 1 Tree Hugger post-partum pad.
These can all ship right away and within Canada should get to you fairly quickly.
