A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable. Tip Junkie shares creative womens trade secrets and tips every day. Now you can join in the fun!
Tip Junkie is hosting its first swap (or product exchange). I named it “Trade Secrets” because we are “trading” our favorite tips or secrets that are unique to us.
Heres how you can participate:
- Make or purchase at least three objects that you consider your favorite trade secrets.
- Mail it to your swap partner before November 1, 2009.
They could include (but are not limited to) your favorite party favor you make regularly, gift idea, beauty product, craft, home décor idea, recipe, scrap craft, book, etc. Please limit the product total (not including shipping) to under $25 and only send items you would love to receive yourself.
Have a great time with it and most importantly be creative. Be sure to include a nice note to your exchange partner and feel free to wrap each product, and decorate the box in a theme. {{optional}}

Thanks for doing this. I am so excited. I blogged about it this morning! http://ashmorefamily.blogspot.com/2009/09/swap-time.html
Basically who ever signs up with be assigned a person to send a package to. In return, another person (who also signed up) will be sending you a package. The package should have at least 3 things inside it that cost less than $25. So it pays to be creative. Just make sure the items are something that you would like to receive.
You have until October 1st to sign up, and until November 1st to post mark your package (mail it).
The theme is “trade secrets” so it can be any of your favorite things. For instance, I make beaded bookmarks. Everyone that sees them asks me how I make them. Since I came up with the idea on my own – I consider it my trade secret. Of course, I share how I make them, but they are unique to me. That is just one example of what you can put in the package. Sky’s the limit.
I just found your wedbsite today and I love it. Could someone explain to me in more detail about the swap: who, how, where, when, etc. Thanks in advance.
