PPU:Advent Pocket Letter Part 1 - USA Only

I love advent calendars! It is so fun to come home everyday and have a little goodie to open, makes the day complete. I played in many Advent swaps in the past and would love to continue but the cost of International postage makes it impossible for me to send packages...So let’s try the Pocket Letter version :)

This will be a 3 part swap, you will have to join all 3 swaps to get a full advent calendar. It is not necessary to join all three swaps, you can always spread out the days you open your pockets! The closer due dates might scare some but since this swap is not profile based you can start on these anytime.

For part one we will concentrate on days 1-8. The front of each pocket must be decorated in some sort of Christmas theme and every pocket should have a goodie tucked in the back. Each pocket must be numbered 1-8, be creative:) Please hide the goodies in mini envelopes, gift wrap, pretty bags, or between two pieces of paper. The 9th pocket will include a letter about your favorite Christmas/Holiday treat and the recipe. When you receive this pocket letter make sure you tuck it away somewhere safe until December 1st! No peeking...

Goodies can be any theme. Homemade, store bought, or shopped from your stash. PLEASE no used, abused, worn, torn, dirty, unusable items. This is not profile based but try to keep everything clean, not overly religious, and legal. Any food items should be able to sit out until opened. This is not profile based. See goodies list for ideas and even more ideas!

One last thing...When you rate an Advent swap is up to you, some people rate based on the creativity, some wait till they open all the goodies. I think a 5 with a comment of “I’ll be back after the holidays” when you receive this swap as a minimum would ease the minds of all involved! I will remind everyone to finalize their ratings after the first of the year.

I didn’t forget anyone this holiday season! See the PPU:Advent Pocket Letter - International swap for an international version.

I feel very safe in this group but should the unthinkable occur I will angel after a one rating is given. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me.
