thanks @tamtamlee for great swaps and permission to allow us to do an international one for the ones that want to

Now before anyone brings it to my attention I know I skipped a week. I skipped Monday Dec. 24!

If you like send out to your partner that you recieve thats fun, but is up to you!

You will rate your partner at the end of the six weeks. Your rating will be the over all of the six weeks,You might even get a heart!

This "SNAIL MAIL SWAP" will run for SIX weeks. There will be a "theme" for each week. We will send out our letters each MONDAY of the new week.

Please post in the comment space each time you send a week out. Maybe even send a message to let your partner know.

Please don't flake!! If you think you can't do all six weeks don't join the swap.

If by some chance you do not meet the requirements YOU WILL BE BANNED!!

No recent 1's or 3's in the past three months....Rating of 4.9......No unrated swappers {sorry}. No newbies aloud. Must have a well filled out profile. If you do not meet the requirements & sign up anyway I will ban you from the swap.

HERE IS THE SCHEDULE FOR SIX WEEKS..........

Senders choice.I would like to keep this flat for postage concerns , because I know there will be some USA and Canada residents that would like to join please.
