* The swap is worldwide, so please, be ready to post internationlaly

BUTTONS
* Send at least 10 buttons, send a mixture of different buttons, not all the same

  1. Last year I took a part in your button swap and it was so great! This year I would love to join as well, but I am afraid, I should send out packages to other swap partners before I jump in the next swap... Hopefully I will manage to send out all my delayed mail so that I could still join to this project!
    Thanks for organizing!
