Description:

I am asked all the time (probably because of my user name) "what do you do for a living?"

Since I just participated in my first email swap and I am still a newbie here and have realized how many swaps will not let you in if you aren't rated yet I decided to do a newbie email swap too! I figured it would be kind of cool to find out what other people do for a living.

So here goes my first swap.

Write at least a paragraph or two about what you do for a living and if you can't come up with that much add in what a typical day is like at your job.

This shouldn't take long so I am making it a short swap. If you don't think you can write that much about what you do then don't sign up.

If your partner sends on time and writes at least a paragraph or two then rate them a 5 if they write a lot more then give hearts!! Just because it is an email swap doesn't mean that extra efforts shouldn't be rewarded.

So have fun and lets start swapping!

Glad to have you!!

Just to warn you, many hosts consider swappers who only have ratings from quick online swaps to be the same as newbies with no ratings. After all, this is primarily a mail swapping site. So if you want to prove yourself as a swapper and start getting into bigger swaps, I suggest joining small or newbie-oriented mail swaps as well as email ones.

sounds like fun either way ~!! I'm in.

Yes you can send by email, when you are assigned your partners email address is in the message. Kirigami you are right about that but at least to start out with it is a rating! I am in several other swaps also but in the mean time I figured why not try hosting one!

I'm surprised I wasn't the one to do that, Robin. ;) LOL! It'll be oooooo-kay. :)

I have sent my letter but as an attachment because I wanted to include photos. Please, if you are one of my partners (Mutantpenguin, My Life WIth Yarn, tongaamy, ladyb) and didn't get the letter please let me know and I shall resend it. Thanks, Rachel :)

I got it the second time magicjessnrach. It was worth the wait. It was a lovely letter and the pictures were a nice touch. I guess I should have sent some photos of my kids with my letter, oh well :)

hazmatalienknitter 07/19/2007 #

We still have 4 people that have not sent their emails. Please either send them out or let people know that you will be late.

Thanks to all who did send. We have some very talented people here!!

Mine were all sent on July 17th, but I have only received one. :(

ladyb 07/24/2007 #

I got 4 out of 5 what do you do about one that doesn't send. I mean yeah it is just an e-mail swap and its not like I was cheated out of something but if they can't even send a simple e-mail who's to say they will send actual items through the mail. I just hope I don't get them in another swap. Plus I am wondering if those I sent to got my e-mail because I wasn't rated for all of them. I'm new to this whole thing so I don't know the protocol on any of it where e-mail swaps are concerned - any advice?????

oops sorry for the double click.

lespark 07/26/2007 #

I'm with you Lady B. I sent all of mine, received two and only got two ratings. The members of my first online swap were very responsive, but this one not so much.
