Anything and Everything Eiffel

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of my actually getting to see and touch the Eiffel Tower in Paris France, I decided to create a swap. Seeing the Tower in person, actually touching it, was complete fulfillment of one of my "Bucket List" items.

I fell in love with the Eiffel Tower as a high school French student. Visiting Paris and the Eiffel Tower had been a goal of mine for more than 30 years. In 2004 my family and I were blessed to be able to take a trip to Europe. It was the trip of a lifetime. (It only took me 5 years to pay off the loan, but it was worth every penny.)

"As ­strong as iron yet as delicate as lace, the Eiffel Tower is the romantic symbol of Paris. Interestingly, its design was at first disdained by the city's artists and writers, who protested the tower's construction in 1889 for the Universal Exposition, a world's fair commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution." "The tower was never meant to be a permanent installation on the Paris skyline, and it was nearly dismantled in 1909." (both quotes from HowStuffWorks website)

I have only been swapping for a few weeks, so please be patient with me, and certainly contact me with questions.

This swap is Sender's Choice. It is not intended to be an expensive or time consuming swap. You can find items with the Eiffel Tower pictured on them at the Dollar Store, Thrift Store, almost anywhere.

Examples of what you can send are: postcards, drawings, photographs, small trinkets, cut-outs, stamped images, etc. As long as they are clean, in good shape, and have the Eiffel Tower on them, or they are designed as the "Eiffel Tower", your partner should rate you a 5.

"Anything and Everything Eiffel" Tower, will make your partners smile. They will realize that they are not alone with this obsession that they feel for the Tower. Its amazing how many people I have met and found out about how they, too, felt pulled to it.

Just be careful and don't send out something you might want back, because a "Tower Lover" never lets go of anything to do with the Eiffel Tower.

You will have two partners for this swap. It is "International" (hint, hint, our Paris partners). Newbies and experienced, all are welcome. I will only ban you from this swap if you have a lot of "1" ratings, or any "not sents".
