Description:

I love drawing random marker designs on an envelope and sending it out, and can't be the only one!

For this swap, decorate an envelope by drawing on it with sharpies, any way you see fit - colouring in stripes, doodling patterns, or making a nice drawing, and so on. As long as it's well-decorated on one side or both. Put a flat or flat-ish profile surprise inside, $1-$2 value (stickers, recipe cards, nice paper, ribbon, buttons, tea, hot chocolate, leaves, etc). Do this for your two partners.

You have three weeks once partners are assigned to scribble and send.

And no, nobody will know if you just use random markers, but you're cheating yourself out of that delicious chemical smell :)

No newbies this time, and you must be rated for at least 5 type 2 or 3 swaps.

what is a type 2 swap? I have done lots of swaps in the past and want to get back into it---but not sure if I did any type 2's!!!

Thanks !

Type 2 is flat mail. Looking at your profile, you have 14 done.

(1 is online, and 3 is packages)

I just picked up a 24 pack of 80's Glam Sharpies for a really good price. This swap will be perfect to try them out on!

Opps...These "types" are new to me. Just got back into swapping. It's okay if I need to be kicked off this swap! I only have two type 2 swaps?

@TangoAlphaMike I just changed it to 5 type 2 or 3, because it doesn't make sense for me to not allow people who have mostly type 3's ... they require more trust! So you're good.

Thanks a bunch Sarah!
