Description:

Hi Swappers! It's the perfect time to stay indoors and create some mail, let's spread some creativity and positivity around! I've been on Swapbot since November last year and I love it! If you love art & craft, homemade things and sending letters, this swap is for you! I am really excited about this swap, I hope you are too.

Description

This is a Snail Mail Swap. Participants will send the following; 1. A Decorated envelope or small package 2. 1-2 Sheets of writing to their partner 3. 3 items from the list below;

  • Handmade bookmark
  • 2 teabags or drink sachets
  • A postcard from your area (unused)
  • A page containing your favourite recipe
  • A page containing a music playlist of your favourite songs
  • Washi tape samples
  • 5 postal stamps from your area
  • 1 Artwork (small drawing or doodle)
  • 6 sticker flakes (Individual stickers) or 1 sticker sheet

The size of the envelope and its contents are up to you but it is recommended to not exceed an A4 page folded in half.

Requirements

This swap is for newbies with a well filled out profile and users with a rating of 4. Please message me a day before the deadline for sending the mail if you are unable to send. Dependent on the reason for not being able to send (compassionate grounds accepted), withdrawing this late may result in users not being able to participate in further swaps by me.

Rating

We love to hear your feedback, so please rate your partner and co-ordinator promptly after the mail has been received! Here are the rating guidelines below; 1- I have contacted my partner and still, no mail has been received 2 months after the deadline. 3- I received the mail but my partner did not send 3 things from the list or did not make contact to inform me that it would be coming late. 5- I received the decorated envelope (or small package), 1-2 pages of writing and 3 items from the swap's list.

You are welcome to give a heart out if it was an extra special package or the coordinator went above and beyond expectation.

Sign up below and once you have; send us a comment stating where you are from and when you joined Swap-bot. Happy Mailing! xoxo

Hi, I’m James. I’m from Cambridge UK. I joined Swap bot today, but I have been swapping decorated mail for about a month with friends and classmates during the coronavirus lockdown.

Hi there. My name is Megan I'm from the U.S. I joined Swap bot today! I have been trying to find new ways to stay creative and do my best to be social during the lockdown. I think this will give me a spark and something to look forward to. I'm not entirely new to this, when I was younger I moved out of state and I would send "care packages" and letters to my best friends back at home.

Hi my name is Courtney, and I am from London, UK. So many of my penpals use swap bot, so a year ago I decided to check it out and it is a great place to meet new penpals and make swaps specific to my interests :)

Hi my name is Jane, I live in England’s smallest county Rutland, our motto is Multum in Parvo, much in little, which describes perfectly the pleasure of decorated mail. I joined swap bot today! Haven’t filled out my profile yet but plan to complete today.

Hello! I am from Kentucky. I joined in 2011. I used to have a group for swapping on Facebook and then someone told me about this website. So I started using it and it has been pretty exciting.

Hey! I’m Jenn from Ontario Canada and I just joined today. I’m excited to have found this site. There is so much to explore and see which swaps fit me and which don’t. I’ve filled out some of my profile and will likely add more to it as I decide on more of what I want to share. I’m looking forward to exchanging all sorts of things from letters to stickers to coffees :)

Chantiemaya 04/17/2020 #

Since so many people have left messages here, I thought I’d join in! I’m Chantal from the Netherlands and I’ve been on swap bot since November 2019. I’ve just had a couple of months where I didn’t swap at all because I was busy, and now I’m excited to get back into it. I want to thank the host for the clear explanation of this swap and for including the expectations when it comes to rating - that really puzzled me when I just started out. If anyone here is looking for a new penpals, regardless if we’re swap partners for this swap or not, let me know. Check out my profile to see if you think we’d be a match and drop me a message :)

Hi Everyone, Thank you for joining the swap. It is well past the deadline for sending and receiving letters. If you have not received a letter please contact your partner, if there is no communication there is not much else I can do. Stay safe everyone, and have a good day! :)
