I'm a newbie so I don't meet the rating requirements but I'd love to join this swap. Would you consider giving me a chance? I filled out my profile, just have to add a picture once I'm behind my computer instead of on the phone. Thanks for taking my request into consideration!

Are we to include a handmade envelope IN the package? Or is the envelope to be used to ship the items through the mail? And how big should the envelope be? Also, can it be a store-bought envelope that's decorated or a make-your-own envelope?

I love this swap and was all set to join until I got to the handmade envelope, I have never made one and no clue where to begin. Anyone got a good internet site with easy to read instructions for this?

Sure grammy there, is no, worries when I say hand made you, can simply decorate a plain white envelope as well as make one from wallpaper, stationary paper, calendars ....possiblities is limitless magazines...the envelope just needs to be big enough to fit a 4x6 postcard...

Im sorry I cant provided a direct link right mow my comp, crashed, so im using my phone to communicate... But, you can go, to " youtube.com" type in " how to make handmade envelopes" in the search engine and a number of tutorials will pop up

Hey there,

my partner lives in Australia and it said on her profile, that she'd rather not receive any tea due to the postal service. Could I substitute the teabag with anything else?

Is it good practice to inform my addressee that the package has been sent or should I stay secret as a sender for as long as possible?
