Description:

"Open when letters" were one of the best little surprises that my friends gave me one birthday. Instead of doing this for a birthday occasion I've decided to do an around the world swap.

I will add a link to a blog post I found from 'One Girl In A Massive World' who goes through and shows you the open when letters she made for her friend. You can also find some amazing examples on Pinterest.

Minimum requirements for the swap:

Min 5 'open when letters' (This does not include the 'open when...you receive this')

One envelope with 'open when...you receive this', in this one, you will introduce yourself to your partner, tell them a bit about yourself, your week and what you do for self-care. You can also add any other 'about me' sort of things into this envelope.

Each 'open when' envelope must include one letter with advice of what to do when they are sad, happy, having a bad day etc, as well as a small goodie to cheer them up or go along with this. IT IS UP TO THE SENDER HOW PACKED THEY MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES

Open When Ideas 1. it’s your birthday

I couldn't get http://onegirlinamassiveworld.blogspot.com/2014/11/open-when-letters-for-my-best-friend to open but I did manage to read that post using this link:

Figured I would mention it in case anyone else was having the same problem I did.

@behappybeyou has 2 prior profiles - @geertjes and @soraya . I've contacted admin and they will be suspended. It's in the best interests of your participants that you remove this member from your swap.

@behappybeyou had already a 1-rating when you assigned partners. don't you vet your swaps? don't you care about flakers in your swaps?
