  • envelope must measure at least 4" x 5" but can be larger

  • include a note to your partner detailing which categories you fulfilled

  • include a small flat surprise for your partner (sender's choice)

  • have fun!

Participants must have a cumulative 4.9 and be rated for 7 Type 3 swaps. If you do not meet these requirements, message me. If you sign up and do not meet these requirements and do not contact me, then I would have to exclude you from the swap but I like to draw the circle to include everyone, so just message me. Join with confidence; I'll angel the swap if necessary.

Great swap idea!

Is it okay to use both sides of the envie to complete this challenge?

Hoping you do some more US (.46 cent stamp ) only ones.

@Jess79 yes it is fine to use both sides of the envie to complete the challenge

@nancylee I will definitely do a US only -- I have such a hard time excluding international folks when there are so many US only swaps already but I do understand postage costs are high--I like to eat every month instead of just buy postage!

"--I like to eat every month instead of just buy postage!" It's funny that you say this. I'll reply with, you're not alone..! blush It's just so fun and happy. I exercise my creativity, it's healthy in that sense! :D

Wow, you have surely put in a big challenge by giving us the option to use an animal on our envie. Hope it arrives alive.... :-)
