***First note of business is that this is a US only swap - if there is someone who wants to hold an International one that is fine with me - Postage has become more of an issue and I am not sure the international regulations concerning odd size packages. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For this swap you will use a tube (a toilet paper tube! - we all have those LOL!)

You can fold one end over to seal it or smoosh to make it flat and glue or tape shut. or maybe make an end cap. However you wish to close off the end.

Then stuff it full of ribbon. 1 yard pieces in length please - can be longer but not shorter! Use multiple types or shades or whatever you wish to fill the tube then tape, smoosh cap or whatever the other end so you have a sealed off Tube O' Ribbon!

Now address it with your partner's info and mail it on to them! No need for special boxes or anything - you can mail it as is (as long as your tube isn't broken open - you gotta be careful with the smooshing part LOL!)

If you are concerned about your ribbon getting wet please line the inside with plastic or put the ribbons you are using into a plastic baggie then stuff it in there.

This is supposed to be fun - we all like to get fun mail and who would think a toilet paper tube

Feel free to add a mini surprise in with the ribbon if you like or to decorate your tube up also and then use a label to put the address info on it.

If you have a low rating or a history of not sending I will remove you from this swap. It is no fun to play one sided and I do not want anyone disappointed. I do use various lists created to weed out the flakers as best I can before assigning partners. I will also check out newbies as best I can. If you have low rating or a lot of recent negative feedbacks I will ban unless I hear from you. It is your job to explain to me not mine to track you down for an answer :) Thanks in advance for your understanding. I am trying to make these swaps as fun as possible and it is not fun when you send and don't get anything in return.

Edited Part:

1.) Some have asked about the PO not accepting anything but envies or boxes so please do what you need to do if they won't accept stick it in something else to mail - at least you tried :)

2.) Tube sizes - please if you wish to use a larger tube (paper towel or wrapping paper) feel free the requirement though is only a tp one so please remember when rating - did the items meet the requirement that is what to rate on now how big your tube was LOL!

3.) Have fun be creative - I hate too many rules and I love to see how creative one gets with the general idea/theme!
