Sounds like a really fun swap! Good luck to you guys, it will be fun to see what the results will be:-) Too bad it's not international though... But I'm sure there will be other swaps to participate in:-)

WOW, this is a great idea, ... it's a pitty I don't live in Australia, have a lot of fun with the swap! Hugs, Renata.
Boo-hoo, I was all ready to sign up and then saw your instructions - I'm from the UK!!! I wish you all lots of fun though sounds like a great idea.
Sounds like fun but also a challenge. One person's "ugly" is another one's "gorgeous". It will be interesting.
Hi Fee,
This sounds like a good swap challenge. If you twist my arm I might just join in!

Oh dash...I was also just ready to sign up ...but noticed the Aussie only sign.....what about your neighbours across the ditch.....in NZ
hugs Laurie

What a great idea...I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!! Hope all is well with you and your family! Cathyx
I have been looking for an ugly since this post went up and I can't find one! :( I will keep looking :)
I've got lots of Uglies but wouldn't you know it I live in little old England. Oh well I will just have to make do with being an onlooker.
