Description:

You will have 2 partners in this swap. This is USA only to keep costs down. Feel free to do an International one if you want.

You will decorate an envelope (Minimum size 4 inches X 6 inches) with Owls as the main theme. You can decorate the back of the envelope if you want, but it isn't required. You can use anything you want to decorate the envelope with. Some ideas are:

  • Rubber Stamps
  • Collage
  • Decoupage
  • Markers/Colored Pencils
  • Fabric/Ribbon
  • Stickers (Please don't slap on a few stickers & call it done. Send something nice.)

You can even make your own envelope as long as the overall theme is owls.

Inside the envelopes include owl themed surprises for your partners. (No minimum dollar amount, but send things you'd be happy to receive.) Please include a sheet of paper with your Swap-bot name & the name of the swap so you can be rated. Some ideas are:

  • Stickers
  • Owl Address Labels (Min. 5)
  • Owl Writing Paper (Min. 2 sheets) Homemade is ok, but please send something you'd love to receive.
  • Bookmark
  • ATC
  • Postcard
  • Owl Postage Stamps

Please look at the profiles of your partners for ideas, but this is ultimately senders choice.

You must have a rating of at least 4.90 & a well filled-out profile. You must have sent at least 5 Type 3 swaps. No 1's or 3's in the past 3 months. Newbies are welcome with a well filled-out profile. I will be checking profiles.

I will angel as long as you give the flaker a 1 rating.

If you have any questions, just ask!

I like this, but owl items are hard to find, lol

SDCarter 07/ 5/2012 #

rifkasorah You can always make your own owl stuff. Look at the photo for the swap. It's just made out of different papers cut to look like an owl. There are tons of ideas on the web.

cool i will look

SDCarter 07/ 5/2012 #

SWAP EDIT:

I changed the envelope size from a #10 to a Minimum size of 4 inches X 6 inches because I was made aware that it's easier to make a homemade envelope in different sizes. I hope that helps.

I'm open to ideas since I've only hosted a few swaps before. :-)

This is an amazing ideas i love owls!! Do i have to only send flat mail things? Cause where i live i can find a lot of owl stuff.

SDCarter 07/11/2012 #

ArtTeachToBe You don't have to only send flat items. That is just the minimum requirements. Have fun!

MidnightMuse 07/12/2012 #

I have so many owl fabrics to use :D

Can address labels be homemade?

pyropae 07/13/2012 #

And is there a limit on how many to send on that list?

SDCarter 07/13/2012 #

pyropae There is not a min/max dollar amount or a min/max number of things to send. Just send an envelope with things in it you would be happy to receive. Yes, the address labels can be homemade.

Thanks for the quick response.

rifkasorah 07/14/2012 #

SDCarter 07/14/2012 #
