USA only swap round 41!

----UPDATED PLEASE READ REQUIREMENT CHANGE! Due to confusion of some individuals I had to change this.

You will have 2 partners. This swap is to make someones day. You will put a few items in an envelope with at least one 46 stamp. Please let it weigh closely to 1oz of happy mail, don't just add one note and a sticker and think it's going to make someones day, because most likely it won't. It's okay if you go over, but at least 1oz. Please include your user name along with a little note and a couple of the following:

A few ideas:

funny card

postcards

note cards

stationery

journal cards

smash it items

stickers

coins from other countries

washi tape samples

kawaii

positive quotes

ephemera

something that makes you happy

the list goes on, I would suggest to take a peek at their profile and just have fun with it :) You must have at least 15 completed type 2 or 3 swaps.

This is a fairly quick swap and I will post another one soon just in case you may not able to participate in this one. On average I'll post one POSSIBLY every week or every other week since it's fairly affordable :)

Please do not rate your partner a 3 or 1 if you do not like the items that they send you. Unfortunately what makes someone happy may not make us happy, but if no effort is put in at all then it can be questionable. I updated this due to individuals just writing a note and sending it off. This isn't meant for that. Please put things in your partners envelopes that screams happy mail, something YOU would like getting. I will start banning users if they do not understand this, and I don't want to have to.

Just a quick tip.....in the #40 swap my envies are going to cost .86 cents a piece....they are about 1.4oz each :) remember that if you add anything not fully flat and your envie it's sort of bulky that will be considered rigid and may cost a bit more.

effective Jan 26 letters will go up by 3 cents from .46 to .49

Will a Forever stamp be okay?

Peachapatchi 01/ 7/2014 #

@AmphibianQueen Forever stamps will always be the current postage price so I would assume that's okay, unless it weighs more than 1 oz, then you need to add extra postage.

Thanks LANIE for that information. I was wondering if they were going to raise postage-again, in the new yr. So I'm glad I know that now :)

Forever stamps are always good with increases. I think the PC postage is also going up a few cents. Need to double check.

Are you going to assign partners yet? The due date to send it is coming closer and we still don't have partners.

Sorry! I had sent my swaps out a couple of days ago, but I forgot to click "sent". I promise I'm not late, you can check the postmark stamp! :)
