Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Edited 10/21/13 to add that your letter(s) can be typed. Participants have been emailed separately to notify of this additional information.

For this swap, we will be writing a letter to our partner every week for four weeks. A month of letters! We will also enclose a blank notecard and envelope for our partner in each week's letter. Notecards are not Birthday, Anniversary, Get Well and other such greeting cards. They can have the word "Hello" or "Thinking of You", but in general, notecards do not have words on their cover. The notecards should be different each week. If your notecard is loved so much by your partner, they might ask for another one, and you can certainly enclose the same notecard a following week if your partner asks and you have another one. But in general, we will give our partner a new notecard and envelope each week.

Our letters should be equal to at least 1 - 8-1/2x11 (A4) sheet of paper. If you write large, please write at least 2 sheets worth. Yes, you can use smaller paper. Two 5x7 sheets would be comparable to one 8-1/2x11. You can certainly write more than 1 - 8-1/2x11 sheet, because we all love lengthy and newsy letters, I'm sure. But the minimum requirement is one sheet.

You may write about whatever you'd like. Look at your partner's Profile for ideas of what your partner might be interested in reading about. When you write, ask questions of your partner, too, which might encourage them to write a letter back. You are not required to write back to the person who is writing to you, but if you feel inclined to, feel free to reply. Perhaps you will find a new penpal in this swap.

There is a schedule to mail each week's letter and blank notecard enclosure. I want everyone to receive a letter each week for the month of November, which is why this is a USA only swap. You may mail before the due date each week, like on a Monday or Tuesday, but do not mail beyond Wednesday of each week or that week's letter may be considered "late" by your partner. Send your letter according to these dates:

  • 1st letter: Wednesday, October 30th.
  • 2nd letter: Wednesday, November 6th
  • 3rd letter: Wednesday, November 13th
  • 4th letter: Wednesday, November 20th.

During Week 1 - Week 3, you can comment below or on your partner's Profile that you have sent that week's letter & notecard. You will click "Sent" on the swap page after you have sent Week 4's letter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This swap is open to all USA swappers. However, I do check all Profiles before making assignments.

Newbies, you must have a well-filled out Profile. Basically, swappers want to know who you are, what you like to do in your spare time, hobbies, general things you like, maybe some things you don't like. Your Profile is information you'd share with someone you just met, not a friend yet, but hoping to be one.

Rated swappers, if you have any 1's from swappers who are still active on SB, please fulfill those swaps first. For any 1s or 3s on your Profile, dated replies to their ratings will be helpful for myself and other swappers to know that you have, or are working on, fulfilling your swaps. But do fulfill any late swaps before joining this one because I will have to drop anyone with unfulfilled swaps.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to send me a Private Message and/or enter the Discussion below.

And as a final note, I do Angel my swaps. So have fun swappin'!

Hi! I will be mailing out letter 1 to @KarlaKC on Friday 10/25/13 - Great Swap by the way!

Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

KarlaKC 10/27/2013 #

Just mailed out my letter and notecard, Tues. Oct. 29 to BlueEyedRunner.

KarlaKC 10/30/2013 #

Thank you, Vicky, for the lovely letter I received Tuesday! Loved it all! It was such a pleasure to read. :)

Susan, thank you for mailing your 1st week's letter! :) Remember, though, that we will all click "Sent" after we've mailed our 4th and last letter of the swap. I noticed this swap isn't on your Dashboard anymore. You can click the same place on your swap page where you clicked "Sent" and it will undo your "Sent". Let me know if you have any questions. And thank you again for sending your 1st letter on time. :)

KarlaKC 10/30/2013 #

BTW, Susan @suesuzieq a letter is on its way to you today! It's in my mailbox waiting for the postman to pick up!

suesuzieq 11/11/2013 #

Week #3 in the mail to BlueEyed Girl.

KarlaKC 11/12/2013 #

Thank you, ladies, for posting when you've been sending! I didn't post last week as I was preoccupied with a very sick child and just forgot to come here to make a note! Ack! But I did mail Week 2's letter off to @suesuzieq last week and Week 3 is in the mail today.

I've received Week 1 from @Vickyen so far.

Vickyen 11/12/2013 #

Week 3 in the mail to @KarlKC today - hope 2 gets there today - yikes! And hope your sick kiddo is doing better! ;)

KarlaKC 11/12/2013 #

Hi, @Vickyen ! Your Week 2 letter arrived today - yay! It had "Non-machinable" stamped twice on the front and once on the back, and I couldn't figure out why. There was just a letter, notecard and postcard inside - nothing "pokey" or would potentially jam a machine or get damaged within a machine. I thought it was strange. Then my notecard was slit right down the seam and I thought THAT was strange! I must've slit it when I opened the envelope but I was certain that I had tapped all the innards of the envie to the bottom before slitting it open! LOL! Really curious mail happenings.

But overall, I loved the little flower and butterfly "Fall" colored stationery you used. And the butterfly stamp. And I've never seen the alphabet washi tape you used on the envie, so that was fun to see. :) It was a fun mail day and your envie helped make it so! Thank you so much!

Icygrl7 11/14/2013 #

week 3 was in the mail to Bev yesterday. Hope you get it quickly!

KarlaKC 11/16/2013 #

@Vickyen your Week 3 letter arrived Friday afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and loved the butterfly notecard and 2 pcs. Thank you for putting a smile into my day! I needed that! :)

Vickyen 11/18/2013 #

Sending ltr 4 today - sigh, all good things must come to an end or not! LOL! Maybe you will find the time to write back! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Thank you, @suesuzieq for the wonderful rating! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I did too! Your final letter is going out today!

@Vickyen yes I do plan to write back! I apologize for not sending you a letter in reply yet. My baby girl has been sick for a month now. I got sick last week with it. Plus she's still sick. So I have my days and nights all awry and haven't had the energy to write too much. But I will catch up and a reply is in the wings for you too.

I hope you all enjoyed the swap! Be sure to get your final letters in the mail today if you have not already or contact your partner if there will be a delay. Also please don't forget to rate your partner after receiving their final letter.

Thank y'all for making this a wonderful swap!
