Hello happy swappers and mailbox stalkers.

This swap is for those of us who want a happier mailbox.

For this swap we will send our partner 7 different pieces of mail in the month of January.

Requirements:

What you send them is senders choice, but atleast one of the mail pieces has to be a 2 page letter.

You have to mail a few things out within the first 2 weeks, the idea is your partner will be getting mail all month. SO try to space it out a bit.

1 letter and 6 other pieces of mail must be sent

FOR EXAMPLE: You can mail 7 letters, you can mail 6 postcards and 1 letter, 3 letters and 4 postcards. Some other ideas to send can be random filled envies of flat goodies your partner may like with a note, notecards and a letter, recipes, a journal entry of your day. ETC.

Im hoping to attract swappers that have great mail stash or can be somewhat creative.its always nice to send fun stationary, a decorated envie, some neat empherma... the intention is not to just write on plain paper and send off a thoughtless letter. Prepare to shower your partner with some mail love. I consider a great letter or piece of mail a gift, makes my day.

If your partner sends you a letter and 6 other pieces of mail rate them a 5.

No newbies

Will do an international version too

4.85

I will ban swappers and will check profiles. Swappers should be experienced, in good standing and regularly check the site.

To my partner: Please try to spread the 7 things throughout the entire month. Last round I received everything within the first 2 weeks. Would love to not have a lonely box any week of the month, if possible.

This sounds awesome. :)

Thanks! As a general rule send a 2 or 3 things out each week being that there are 4 weeks in the month so one or two weeks you would mail 1 piece of mail. Good point wokeupmissing! The idea is to have the mail arrive all month

Ok went thru all swappers hope everyone gets some happy mail starting now!

First mailing went out to my partner today!

lilmissthrifty 01/ 6/2015 #

I keep a note of what i sent and recieved from each partner, and I write 1 of 7, 2 of 7 on whatever I mail...this may help you guys keep track

I just wanted to let my partner know I received your first mailing today. Thanks!

We are half way though the month id say we all should of mailed at least 3 things to our partners. Please continue to Shower them with mail throughout the rest of month.

I have only received one note card letter from wokeupmissing. :(

Artistic 01/24/2015 #

Deelynn: you're not the only one. It's Jan. 24, and so far I have received just one letter from my partner. :(

lilmissthrifty 01/25/2015 #

This is incredible...any ideas of how to avoid that in future swaps?

deelynn 01/26/2015 #

I rec'd number two item Saturday. :( maybe if this swap is done in the future, assign a date(s) each week that the item needed to be sent out by. I'm disappointed.

Artistic 01/28/2015 #

Two items came today from my partner; so I'm up to receiving three now, as of Jan. 28.

I mailed out the last bonus items to my own partner today so I'm marking the swap as sent now.

Lilmiss: in addition to what deelynn said, for other rounds it could be stipulated that the swap not be marked as sent until the last item is mailed.

hey im so sorry. i appreciate your feedback, i thought as a hostess my description, email and comments would be enough for people to understand. Keep me posted if you need an angel, after you rate your partner. Im not sure i will do this one again, Its too hard to know who is going to particpate correctly. But i agree with what all of you say here. thanks
